While the weight loss is awesome, the removal of the hunger hormone has made a world of difference in my life. At this point, I am no longer obsessed with food. Like, I can be in the same room with a piece of chocolate cake and NOT be thinking about all the naughty things my body wants to do to it.
Life has changed. It is soooo good. :)
As a teaser, here are some side-by-side photos of me at my heaviest, pre-op, and one taken a couple weeks ago. I plan to fill up this blog with info about the process, the food I bought to get me through the phases, tools for success, and stuff on dealing with Lupus throughout all of it. I have a girlfriend in NYC, whom I adore, who is planning on getting the sleeve done too. I hope that this site will serve as a go-to guide for her.
