WeightyPrincess
Six Month Post Op
I was sleeved in August and have lost 5 stone now. Have a further 3 to go to make my goal weight and for the first time ever it actually feels I will get there!
I have dropped almost three dress sizes 22/20 to 18/14 and despite being a bit 'top heavy' am starting to see the change for myself and am really pleased. Until recently other people were commenting but I could not really see the difference - as usual I am being far too hard on myself.
Over the last few weeks I have been selling all of my too big clothes on eBay and this has been much harder than I ever imagined. I love some of those clothes and the memories that go with them and getting rid of them has been a major emotional milestone. On the positive side I have made lots of money and have been spending it on new clothes. Yey!
Going into a 'normal' shop and picking something off the rack that's not the largest size there is surprisingly daunting - sometimes I forget and end up draped in what would have been my old size. I am discovering new styles, fabrics and colours and learning what works for me all over again.
I am constantly amazed by my new body and how it's changed in such a short space of time. When I had the operation this was what I wanted however part of me always doubted that it would actually work. IT DOES! IT REALLY DOES!
It has been the biggest emotional roller-coaster. There are the good days when I slide a size 14 skirt easily over my hips, and the bad, where my clothes are too big and I feel out of control of the changes that are happening to my body. Seems so insignificant in the scheme of what has been achieved!
I would do it all again without a moments thought.
