Ok so I should've posted this 2 months ago. How annoyed are you with me? Lol

This was the night before surgery. I was weighing in at 202 pounds. These are the pictures from that night.

I am now down to 172.5, I will post those pictures once I get home tonight and take them.

Rescheduled surgery date pending

So I contacted Lesley a few weeks ago and let her know that I needed to reschedule, but that I did not yet know when. Probably sometime in the fall or winter.

This is because as of Friday the 17th, I have only lost 30.5 pounds. I am down to 172.5 so far at 2 months and 13 days. I would like to be at least around 140 give or take 5 or 10 pounds (I know that's a big difference), but I like to workout and that's accounting for muscle gained.

Lesley said that this was fine just to let her know when I was ready to schedule.

Mexico Round 2:

So tomorrow I will be heading back over to Mexico and checking into our hotel. Friday is my surgery date for the Gastrjc Sleeve.
Let me go over some stats here:

Highest weight prior to lap band: 263
Lowest weight with lap band: 177.5 (this was once) and I immediately went back up to 180 and this was where I hovered for months.

**About a month before the "conversion surgery, I decided to "deflate" my band and therefore I experienced some weight gain.**

Weight at time of lap band removal: 189
Lowest weight after band removal: 175.5
Highest weight after band removal: 201.3 :(
Current weight: 196.6 (after 3 days of liquids)

So, you can probably see why I've decided to go ahead with the gastric sleeve. I am a monster when it comes to food. :( you could call me an addict, really.

At one point almost a month after removal, I considered starting fresh and trying to do it on on own. That though quickly went away after I had gained SIX POUNDS after 4 days of healthy meal prep. :(

Screw being fat, I'm done with it. I've felt almost every pound of regain and it's driving me crazy and making feel so uncomfortable and unhappy with myself. I just want to get back to feeling good about myself, so if that's a crime then f*ck it!
It's going down on Friday! Lol

Congrats on deciding to get the gastric sleeve. I got the sleeve about three years ago today. My start weight was 267, I got down to 180 in 6 months. In the last year I gained 20lbs. My current weight is 199.6. I am struggling with getting back to 180. My surgery is scheduled for 1-4-17, I'm having a Brazilian butt lift, tummy tuck and arm lift. I'm hoping to lose 10lbs before my surgery, prayerfully.

My surgery went well. The recovery has been the biggest challenge; especially now that I have my period. I've had no real appetite and lost about 18lbs. I go fir my post op tomorrow and most likely will take update pics.
