LESLIEH

Yayyy, congrats!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Your welcome, I'm going there tomorrow and I'm sooooo darn proud of you. That's a major accomplishment and one to be very very proud of

I had my surgery on Nov 9th and I'm not "allowed" to have meat yet. Let me tell you I'm seriously going thru withdrawals. Congrats on being able to eat it!!!

I had the same problem, But it went away about a month out or so. I think its just our tummies rebelling cuz we took alot of it out

Wow, get better soon. Sorry your going through all this

I know when I get the full feeling its goes to my chest like the food is sitting right in between my boobs. If I just take one more bite then my mouth starts to water and I know I've over done it because I feel like getting sick. I'm almost 3 months out and if I push it I might be able to get 4 oz in and then I get that Thanksgiving full feeling and I'm miserable for about 30 mins.

How exciting for you two. You guys are really a true inspiration and you guys also keep me motivated when I get bummed out because of the dang stalls.

Really the liquid is soooo gross. I do a lil dance till the 30 seconds r up then I grab my vitamin water to wash it down. Then the ugly face comes out and Jesse sits and says, "babe is it really that bad?" ummm yup. Needless to say he wont taste it, lol. I'm gonna have to try Henry's or Trader Joes because Walmart and Walgreens only had the liquid.

Well Feb 8th I will get to the bottom of this. I used to have low iron before the surgery but was able to fix that with vitamins. I'm taking the liquid B-12 (NASTY as all get out), centrum chewables and my calcium with vitamin d. Doing what I'm told to but maybe its just because my body knows it's been 80 degrees outside and I refuse to get in a pool again till my skin tighten, lol. Well I am going back to the tanning salon next week as a treat to myself for the weight loss. hee hee

That's what I was thinking but I do take vitamin D and go outside and walk alot.

Mt Rubidoux is in Riverside. The sheriffs even train on that mountain and a couple officers here from work climb it. Ahh you can see the mountain by the Mission Inn, it has the American Flag on top. I'll send u a msg with my cell phone # so we can plan it

So I've always had a medium toned skin and in the summer oh yes I'm dark. I never burn if that can give you a clue. I luv to lay out at the pool and so on. Why is it that the past month or so everyone is asking if I'm ok and feeling alright? Everyone including my mom is extremely worried because to them I look pale. I have noticed I am alot lighter then I'm accustom to Could it be that I'm lacking a certain vitamin?? I go for blood work on my 3mth check up. Any idea what it could be???

Thanks Sophia, u and Pam keep me truckin along and sooo inspire me. If my hair issue doesn't slow down I might have to pick a new hair style and grab some extensions. Isn't it amazing how our aching body parts aren't so achy no more? Who would of thought our ailments would be eased in such a short time???

Thank you

Yayy congrats on ur weight loss so far

So this weekend I had to go out and buy new shoes because my feet are now a size smaller and a new jacket. I used to wear a size 3x jacket and now I wear, drum roll please a size xl. As you can imagine I was swimming in my old jacket. Now for another way to go, to date I have lost 102 lbs. 42 lbs since Nov 9th, my surgery date and the rest were lost when I had to do the 6 months of classes and stuff. But thanks to my sleeve this is gone forever and I love it. People at work comment that pretty soon there will be nothing left of me, hee hee. I love how people don't recognize me anymore either. Hubby and I went out to our local bar, which I hung out at before meeting him every weekend for 2 years and no one realized it was me next to him (btw I met him there too). It was kind of mind blowing. One of our friends was pissed at him thinking he brought another chick to the bar and was going to cuss him out, then she heard me talk and realized yup it is his wife, her friend and I'm still there. Her comment was at the time holy cow, how much weight have you lost 100 lbs and my response on that day was nope 99 to be exact, lol. Now one set back from losing all this weight is the hair loss and I'm starting to notice sagging skin. I have really thick and pretty long hair and now it's just coming out by the handfuls, kinda scary. The sagging skin, I'm working out every day but only 10 mins at a time, 3 times a day just so I don't aggravate my back and I'm using resistance bands till I get my elliptical. So we'll see how this plays out.

Congrats Pam and your looking good. I so hear you about the hair thing, I'm starting to freak out. I know I have thick hair but my god it's thinning fast. Seeing my boobs are all but gone I cant lose my hair too, lol. Isn't that amazing when people don't recognize you??? It's mind blowing to me. Can't wait to see you in March and see how you look then

Yayyy way to go Sophia, now you've inspired me to climb Mt Rubidoux. Jesse's cousin is trying to get me to do it and I flake out but now you've inspired me. Thank you and keep you the good work

Ya the Dr had me at 3-4 oz a day too but that was impossible. I'm lucky if I eat 3 times a day and 3 oz. Thanks for the idea on the spoon, must go and get me one. I pretty much eyeball my food or use one of my kids lil baby bowls, lol. The only time I got sick was in the hospital but now I eat slowly and I start to fill full and wont even dare have that last bite, I'm a chicken don't want that yucky feeling. I have noticed that if I try and cheat with like a chip smoothered in guacamole or maybe a bite of an enchilada omg the tortilla kills me even though its mushy, nope no can do. As with NJ I still can't have eggs they get stuck.

I'm almost 3 months out and just broke my 19 day stall. My god if I had a 4 month stall I would seriously lose my mind but at least now I know if it does happen I'm not the only one.

I think your doing pretty darn good. I was sleeved on Nov 9th and weighed 247 at the time of surgery and now weigh 210. So your by no means a slow loser in my book.

Love this pic, OMG is he hot. whew. Just what I needed to brighten up my day at work. thank you

Good luck tomorrow and I don't think theres a problem with baby food. Everyone tried to get me to eat it while i was on the mushy stage but I just couldn't bring myself to eat it

Pam congrats on a job well done. You look amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
