The 1st set of Holidays after being Sleeved and being able to eat like a normal person!

I have survived my 1st Holidays of being Sleeved and being able to eat like a "normal" person!  Last year I was sleeved a wk before Thanksgiving and was only able to eat full liquids on Thanksgiving. On Christmas I was almost back to normal food, but still making sure it was soft and semi mush.

This year's was whole different story. LOL I am now almost 14 months post op and I can definitely eat whatever I want in much smaller portions of course except the things I/we shouldn't really eat like cookies, candies and all the good things that come with the holidays. I am happy to say that I survived! I am not happy I gained weight over the holidays, but I am happy it is coming back off. 

Before the holidays I was 167.6 on Dec 11. and Jan 02. I was 172.2,  so I gained 4.6 lbs according to the scale. And I felt like I did too.

I am happy to report I am back down to 169.6 at today's weigh in and I am back on track with my water intake and my logging of meals and taking my vitamins. I totally went MIA for a while and I am sorry for that, I am the one who suffers when I do it not anyone else. I hope that it doesn't happen again any time soon!

I am 6 days way from my 14 month post op surgiversary. My eating is normal, I still dont like or care for milk or ice-cream. My pants are around a size 10-12 still wear my Old Navy 12s, but a Gap size 10 skinny jean fit. I have yet to buy a size 10 pant. I am in a 13 in most juniors jeans and pants. I can fit 95% of ladies Medium sized tops. and L-XL in Juniors tops. 

On Christmas Morning while I was opening presents, I swear every box I opened that had a piece of clothing in it I would hold it up and go ahhh I dunno if this will fit.. and on to the next.. ahhh I dunno if this will fit. All the sweaters Isaac  and my parents got me were a size Med. when I tried them on they all fit like a glove it was great!

A Few of my new size Med. Items hehe :)
