Journey to Lose 10lbs Five Years Post Op

WORTH IT$11,000
Greetingsss Laydeez.
Well, here we are in a period of indoor living and lock down due to Covid-19. I hope everyone is keeping safe!
I had planned to join the gym to try to lose 10 lbs by the summer as i had planned an amazing one month summer vacation! That doesnt seem like it will happen due to the travel restrictions.
However, I told myself that I will NOT come out of this lockdown having put on a bunch of weight. In fact I hope to do the opposite and STILL lose the 10 lbs from home.
So I set up a 14 day challenge (im on day seven). I basically went through youtube exercise videos and made a 14 day plan mixed with Power Yoga, Body Combat, Tae-Bo and Bob Harper.
I was becoming very obsessive with the scale and depressed so I put it away. Ill weigh at the end of 14 days.
The good thing about this is I feel my bidy tightening up. The one thing I regretted after my sleeve was not excercizing sooner. This time I'm doing it right.
The sleeve is going well. Im being more careful with what I eat. I can eat more now but nowhere near what i used to eat before surgery. And the sleeve still tells me when to stop.
As a new sleever, the weight comes off no matter what. As an older sleever, it gets harder. So better not to gain too much weight. I recently dropped 10 lbs but the next 10 is harder. The reason I put on so much weight is because I've been dating a chef for about 3 years now.
Anyways im back on track! Wish me luck at my weigh in, in 7 days!

Five Years Post Op!

Greetings Real Self! How the time has flown! I cant beleive that my last post was in 2017! My weight is now 138. Thats because i hardly exercise and eat anything. Not in big amounts tho! My goal is to lose 10 lbs by the summer. I feel that I can do it. I had actually gone up to 149 lbs! But I dieted and went back to the sleev diet and 10 lbs came off.
Life has been good. Ill post some pics soon and try to record my journey about what its like to try to lose 10 lbs, 5 years after surgery! Lololol.
Big huggzzzz!

Thank you sooooooooo much for your review, it was so detailed and eye opening! I’m so happy for you, once COVID19 clears up I’ll be scheduling my procedure ❤️! I saw that you answered a question about hair loss in one of your comments, but wanted to see if things change and you eventually did experience hair loss, I hope not, But if you did how long does it last?
Hi there. I never experienced hair loss. I didnt experience anything bad really. But I really stuck to the diet recommended by my nutritionist. One thing I would do differently is exercise sooner. Feel free to reach out anytime!

125 lbs. 2 years Later

Heeeey ladiezzzzz! Well well well it's been a looking time indeed. I'm now steady at 125-126 lbs. Size 3-4. Happy with my size. And happy with life in general. Something funny... my suits are now allll big! I mean the small suits that I bought! Lol. So its time to change the wardrobe again. Size small is sometimes too big. But I have never bought extra small. I'd like to go down to 120 to challenge myself but it isn't a must do goal.
I've gotten quote a for plastic surgery in Colombia. Boob job cause the ladies are sagging. Liposculpture to togrhen things. A small butt lift.... key word small. Planning to go in September. Then I'm done!
Oh I'm very excited to start a fitness boot camp later this month. Gonna get my body in shape even before the surgery.
I hope the pics inspire some of you. I never ever ever ever ever thought I'd be 125 size small. Once upon a.time That was just a dream. Hard work and determination pays off. Stick to your goals. Never say die. Never give up!
Kisses!

You look amazing. Did you do any cosmetic surgery after you lost all the weight?
