You look great. Did your sleep apnea go away? I have severe sleep apnea and am hoping that will go away with weight loss

Hey guys! It’s been a while, I hit my goal weight 4-5 months after surgery. I now fluctuate between 164-167 Goal was 165. This has been a journey I still have that “fat girl” mentality and I am a huge stress eater. I haven’t dump on ANYTHING and at times I wish I did so I could have that one experience to make me be like see girl your sleeve don’t like that. ????. Don’t get me wrong I don’t eat horrible all the time but I don’t eat the best either. Food addiction is REAL. I just made a major move to a new state to be closer to my boyfriend and we’re moving into house. Boy has it been stressful! I healed fast and haven’t had any complications. Get gassy from time to time but other than that I have did well. I now where a size 8/9 before I was wearing a 18-20 depending on the fit. I feel like I have left something out. If I remember I will post again!

Hi Monica, It has been almost 2-years since your journey began. - How is you recovery going? - Did you ever make your goal weight. - If so... how did you do it and what are you doing to maintain? Have a great weekend!

Hello! It has been 9 months since I have been sleeved. I was sleeved on 08/16/17. I accomplished my goal weight about 4 months out giving me a total weight loss of 90 pounds. I just ate off the list. I did introduce carbs back into my diet because I do not want to get any smaller than what I am. Recovery has been amazing. I healed fast and did not have any complications. This tool takes work! I still have that “fat girl” in my head and I mess up often but take it day by day. I am a true stress eater and I am working on that. I will post a picture!
