I started this journey on March 18 2022 when I had my sleeve. A starting weight of 272.8 pounds and following the pre diet i was 254 day of surgery. I could not walk for a mile and my knees would be killing me. The tool that was given to me has made me change my life! I now go to gym 3 times a week and make sure I hit my walking goal daily! I make choices of high protein diets but do not deprive myself of anything, I have just learned moderation and the feeling of full! Yes I feel full and satisfied!!! This would not be possible without the staff at journey light! The dietitians are wonderful and always available to answer questions. The nurse practioners are amazing and always there for you. And the doctors reach out to you via text, or a call. One year out I am positive this is the best decision of my life. I ride bikes with my kids, run with them, go to the park, go swimming, and live an active lifestyle. I am no longer the mom hiding in the house or sitting in the car out of breath. Mt knees no longer hurt amd I feel fabulous. On my 1 year sleeve anniversary I weighed in at 158.4!!! Thank you Journey Lite!!!
