I had the "slimes" the first week after surgery once or twice... I'm pretty sure its from eating too much-too fast...

0!!!!! I just got into a 13 skinny jean, and can't even imagine getting into an 11 or MAYBE a 9...after I am at goal... how do you do it? I may be able to get one leg into a size 0 one day.... So happy for you! Off to dance class now, have a nice Turkey day girl!

Amen sister!

My female coworker congratulated me on having daylight between my thighs! She said only a woman would understand what that means... + I am getting ready to go to my 40th high school reunion next year... SOOO glad I have my sleeve!

Hahaha! Looks like it. good point. Also I think it is more accurate to say how much volume your stomach can hold, not weight. I can eat a cup + of some things (soup), and 1/2 cup of others... dense protein, and the time of day makes a difference how much as well...

...just a technicality.... but we don't have a pouch, that is a term used for a RNY stomach... we have a sleeve. They are built differently. I have a 36... but surgeons make them loose, tight, oversewn, glued, larger at the pylorus end...and with no bougie at all as mentioned above... the bougie number only tells part of the story. I agree too small can cause problems, but if you have a good and experienced surgeon, the size will be fine Im sure.

How much do you have to lose? Perhaps you are really close to goal?

:hurray:

I wonder how this would be blended and baked?...maybe with an egg mixed in....

You look so happy and healthy! Thanks for stopping by!

Good luck dear. I hear you about the relief... that tells a powerful story.

I dance twice a week, with squats as part of the warmup... and walk twice a week for about 45-60 minutes... But i need more... When I was fat, the class really made the butt look "proud", but with the melting of the fat... proud no more. :^( On the up side the legs look pretty good... wearing short skirts for a change!

Let me be frank... first you are looking fantastic and the new pants are cute. Second, I am SO jealous! You still have an a$$! Mine is more like two pancakes sliding down the wall. I would give back 5 pounds for a little more a$$. Your body looks great in those pants. Do you think the boxing helps the backsides? Cheers.

OUCH! Thats the kind of talk that leaves my husband with NO sex. Who wants to make love to that! So sorry you have to listen to that. You have done the right thing, and your health must be much improved... perhaps couples counseling? Best of luck....

I am not at goal yet, but at almost 10 months some of my lose skin seems to be shrinking. I have high hopes this will continue! My legs/inside thighs already look "good enough", the arms are better then expected, the stomach is ok. The butt is still saggy and the back (above bra on sides) is the worst. When leaning over and looking in the mirror, all bets are off! Gravity is not my friend. Luckily, I do not plan on using the jungle gym anytime soon! I am 58 so there is hope for you!

Rock it Cludgie!

Hurrah! I hate how I am so pushed around by numbers... but there you have it. Cut and fabric makes all the difference for sure....pics?

WooooWhooooo!!!!

Good ideas guys.

Im guessing that most of the people here are also going from large to small and might not have size 8th if they need size 14s and such... Perhaps a weight GAIN forum?

Most department stores carry them, target, walmart, and higher end like Macys... if you need a bigger size to get you though, Lane Bryant. I can even still wear some of my bigger ones... they are so stretchy... but probably need to get new ones soon to really get the job done right! You can get them on line too. I have even found them at Ross and thrift stores.

You take care dear, best of luck with this final surgery! Running like the wind is a GREAT goal!

I had to come to the sad conclusion that just loving someone may not mean we are meant to be together forever. This may not be the case for you and him.. but then again.... I have had to "cut him loose", and it was hard, but I have to say, that after the event, I felt much better... Best of luck in your relationship.
