I am 11 months out and only 7 pounds to goal. I wanted to share a current picture from my niece's 16th birthday party. (March 10, 2012)

Great Job!

When you start to do an abdominal crunch and you can actually feel your tail bone!

That's great! It's such a great feeling.

Wow! Congratulations! NSV are just as rewarding as the ones on the scale.

My greatest advice to you would be to walk, walk, and walk. I just had surgery on Monday, April 18th. So, I'm now 5 days out. I am actually feeling really good. Anytime I feel any discomfort or pain I would get up and walk in the hospital. Now that I am home, I am doing the same thing. Best wishes for a speedy recovery.

I can't believe that I will finally be sleeved tomorrow. It's been 11 months since I started the process. Now, it's here! I have received so much guidance from the website. But, I want to give a huge shout out to my friends from the So. Cal Group. They are an amazing group of women. Looking forward to see you on May 7th!

I am also being sleeved on April 18th. I'm having my surgery in San Diego, CA.

I want to....... 1. pain free in my knees 2. run a half marathon again 3. buy cute clothes from regular stores 4. be more active 5. waterski again 6. find the man of my dreams 7. buy my panties and bras from Victoria's Secret 8. take a walking tour of Europe 9. buy a cute swimsuit 10. get off all pain medications

Congratulations. My surgery is April 18th! Keep in touch with your progress.

Congrats! It's the successes of all you that motivate me. I can't wait to be sleeved!

Sending prayers your way. Please keep us posted!

Congrats on sticking to your plan!

Congratulations! How exciting!

I have a Mirena and have had it for a year. I really haven't noticed any weight gains with it. It was one of the best things I have done especially since I haven't had a cycle in a year now.

Congratulations to your successful year. I'm waiting for my surgery date to approach. It is April 18th but I know the time will fly. Everyday I am learning something new from this website. But, the success stories like yours really motivate me!

As I read different posts on telling people about upcoming sleeve surgeries, it brings to mind my own situation. I have a friend of 13 years of on and off dating. We are presently dating again. I have dropped hints about having the sleeve down but he constantly changes the subject. When I started the process and had my ultrasound the technician found a mass on my liver which will be coming out at the same time I have my sleeve done. My friend knows I will be having surgery to remove the liver mass but he is just not listening when I talk about having the sleeve. Do I continue to let him think I am only having the mass removed or do I make him understand the process of the sleeve? When it come down to it, I am doing this for me and only me. But, I feel I need him to realize what I am doing. Any suggestions would be helpful.

I am so excited....I received my surgery date this afternoon. My date isn't until April 18th, but I am just glad I have a light at the end of my tunnel. I know the time will go by fast as the time between now and then is so busy at school (I teach first grade!). I will be able to get through all the necessary things at school before I take time off.

I would be a week behind everyone but I would like to be held accountable for getting my exercise in. I'm pre-surgery but I need to get into a routine now. Congrats to all that fulfilled their commitment with week.

Good luck! I hope all goes well and you have a speedy recovery!
