4 months post surgery...

Good morning all! Just a quick update to catch up.  4 months out today and down a total of 65 lbs for the journey. ;)  I am no longer obese!! Simply overweight now! 22 more lbs to go!

I'm feeling great for the most part!  Trying to work with the weights to help with any sag. My skin is really dry but I think that has more to do with the cold air than the loss.  Biggest challenge these days? Remembering my vitamin. I'm currently on a roll of taking it two days in a row! ;)

I'm better at the calcium because I just take two tums before bed.  Water content is better...up to about 48 oz consistently for the day...and protein is usually close to the 60g.

For those that don't know me...here's a picture of last Christmas to this Christmas...you can judge for yourselves how the journey is going.


I'm still loving my sleeve.  If you are thinking about it I recommend finding a really good program and following it from the start.
For those of you just looking to be a bit healthier, remember small steps! You can keep them going and it's not a race! Being consistent is much more important than being perfect!  I make mistakes all the time but the next choice just needs to be better. Hang in there!  Keep drinking! (water! lol)
And thanks for sharing my journey!
