comparison- I like my tiny tummy!

I got curious this morning about how fast I was losing with my lap band compared to my sleeve. I looked back on my blog and this is what I found;

                           Band:                           Sleeve:
start weight -         261                               246
surgery weight-      251                               236
30lbs down:           July 1-Sept 24               March 18 to May 10
*the dates for -30 include pre-op diet.

You do the actual math, I'm too lazy, but it is obvious my loss is faster with my sleeve. About 2 months instead of 3 to loose 30lbs.  It is so much easier with my sleeve, not that my band was ever a bad experience, but I had to have a fill and I had a stuck episode that I still remember because I was in the bathroom for about 35 minutes sliming while my students were wondering if I was ok during those first 3 months. No fills, no stuck issues, no off limits items- you just have to make the right choice. I really love this sleeve thing!

I'm going to meet my workout buddy in about a half hour, when I got dressed this morning I could finally really see a difference in my body. I'm excited and nervous. I hope things continue to progress so easily- it is like a dream :)
