My doctor didn't say anything about straws and I use them all the time.

I had no issue with sleeping. I could sleep in any position from day 1 and I am a stomach sleeper too. As a side note, because I could move around to any position, I pulled some some tubes from my OnQ ball out.

I am not sleeved yet but am in LaGrange Georgia.

My doctor didn't say anything about straws and I use them all the time.

I ask for a to go box when I am full and that lets them know I liked it well enough to want again later.
Also, you might try getting a 16 year old boy to join you for dinner. My son loves that I do not finish anything. He has been batting clean up for me.

My dream size is 10 - 12. In other words normal. I lost down to this size back in 1994 and the old saying came true for me loose weight get pregnant. Well I have not reached that size since. I have set my goal to be the weight I was for this size.

GREAT news!

My sleep apnea is gone ... Yay!

Sip, walk, rest, repeat. Sending healing vibs out to you!

I am glad to help anyway I can. I have gotten so very much support from VST. I have aften said that the members here understand in a way no one else does. Hugs to you!

Congrats ! ! !

Congrats ! ! !

I'm open to help, assist, butt kick, pat you on the back... all that.
I absolutely believe in this tool with all my heart! It has done for me what I couldn't do for myself nor even the lap band was able to do for me either. It was the best find and I can't say enough how it's given me my life back!!!
I won't say I know everything, because I DON'T! But in my career I always say, if I don't know the answer - someone else does. I'd like to open the discussion for anyone who needs someone to listen or to answer those millions of questions that come with this life altering surgery.
Blessings to all!!! Your dreams are at your doorstep now with the VSG.

Thank you guys for all your responces and support! I am just on cloud nine right now. My hubby brought me home a card with the mail today.....he congratulated me on meeting my goal, before he even knew I had met it. He said, I know you havent weighed in yet, but I just know today is the day, you look so much thinner.
So I got on my wii fit, and did my measurement......he stood by waiting. when I finally switched over to the weight and it said 198.6 he jumped up in the air and was more excited then me ...lol
He was hugging me and kissing me and all giddy that he knew before me that I had reached this onederland goal. just thought I would share

I never thought I would get here! I have been right above 200 pounds for the past 3 months. I thought that the scale was mocking me! But I got on the scale today and what did it say??? thats right! 198.6!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I cant believe that I finally got a one before my weight! The only thing that would be better then this is getting to goal! For those of you still hovering over that onederland stage, just keep your chin up, you will get there soon!

Congratulations! Seeing that "1" is an amazing feeling!

Oh yeah! I love it when they don't have to go get the "special" (fatty) cuff to do this. I honestly think my THIGHS are about as big around as my upper arms WERE.
Ain't it great!

I was the same way too! Not one since! Once my blood pressure was stable no more! I had them at least 2 times a week right before and the more I gained the worse they were. Thank goodness it's all over with now! Yay! Hope this will be the same for you!

WHOO HOO!!!!!!!!

When I stepped on my scale yesterday the display showed 199.8 and this morning 199.2! I am so happy I have finally reached this milestone! I really wanted to get here before my one year surgiversary and I made it with 2 weeks to spare.
Thanks to all my VST family for the support along the way!!!

Oh no! You still got a Migraine after the surgery? I'm 5.5 months post op and haven't had a migraine. I typically have a lot of them before my wonderful sleeve. because you didn't get pinched! CONGRATS on your weight loss.

Oh yeah! I will love it when that happens! Congrats!

oh and thanks everyone for posting answer. I love it!!! And Ooops I WILL be sure to post the NSV when I can cross my legs again!!!

You go girl!! Congrats!

Lastnight after I got out of the shower, I realized the towel wrapped around me perfectly. Before it use to leave a big triangle shaped exposing my behind, lol. I ran out of the bathroom dancing in my towel. My husband giggled at me and whistled, lol. It was an awesome feeling.. just had to share another joy!
