Hey! You look fantastic!!! I'm not sure I would have recognized you --- you look so much younger!! Way to go girl! You must be so proud of yourself. I have not been following the rules and have unfortunately been eating pretty much whatever I want. I have got to get back on track....I have to reschedule my 6 month appointment until November as I have some training at work that I couldn't miss

Hey girl. How are things going? When is ur 6 month with Dr. Hoehn? Mine is this Wednesday.

The story of an impatient chick in Kansas City

You don't have to use it if you don't want to. I had already ordered a sample variety pack of Bariatric Fusion from one of the sites (bariatric pantry i think) and actually really liked them. But when I went in for preop visit I just told them I already had some (which technically I did..lol) and used them and some other samples I had. My favorite of all the ones I tried happened to be the Bariatric Fusion especially the Cappuccino which I did end up buying a tub of later and it cost the same at Dr. Hoehn's office as it did online or well depending on what website but they were all within a few dollars of each other. I would definitely suggest buying the sample pack online and if you don't like them then just use whatever you do like. I drank a lot, and still do, of the atkins shakes. -
Just checking in. How are you?? I am struggling to stay away from the carbs.......need to get refocused!!!! Any words of wisdom for me?

I had an incision right where my bra band would lay. I don't think I wore a bra for at least two weeks. Even when I went for my one week check up to get my staples out I just wore a soft cup camisole under my shirt and walked with my arms crossed..lol. But then again I am not one of those people that feels the need to wear a bra all the time. As soon as I walk in the door to my house the first thing I do is take my bra and shoes off, or at least before surgery that's what I did. I was about a 40G then and now that I'm down to a DDD it's not as uncomfortable so I tend to keep it on more.

Wow! You are just AWESOME Deb. You are such an inspiration to so many of us sleevers!

Sounds like you are doing great. I have been stalled for the last several weeks. I was sooo good about staying away from carbs and have been eating some carbs lately so think that is probably why. I really need to get focused again!

6 days post op and my sleeve HATES cold stuff :(

I couldn't do cold at first but around day 9 it got better. I started that evening with a slushie then slowly started to add colder protein drinks during the mornings. -
I just had my 2 month check up with Dr. Hoehn and I am down 40lbs. I'm hoping to remember to do my measurements tomorrow. I was almost in a size 20 pants and am now in some of my bigger 14s, from 40/42 G bra to a 38DDD, usually wore 22/24 shirts at lane bryant or xl t-shirts and now 14/16 and larges. I even wore a bathing suit in public a couple weeks ago when I took my daughter and her friend to the Water park (which I would have NEVER done before)! Life is good! How is everyone else doing?

How are things going? Pretty good here just busy with all my daughter's recitals and softball. When do you go back to Dr. Hoehn? I go Monday at 1:00. I just need 5 more pounds to be halfway there.
