Notice the big print! I will be 50 in July and am dreading it. I am 3 months out, love my sleeve, lost 56 lbs. I have the same issues, hard to find clothes sometimes that aren't for a 14 year old or a 70 year old (please don't anyone take offence). I am going to wear what I am comfortable in, what I feel confident in. I hope you will do the same.

Congratulations! I was sleeved in February in North Carolina- hang in there-be good to yourself and take time to heal

Mini goals are great! I really believe they helped me to lose 54 lbs. My next goal is to get to 150 by June 15. That means I need to lose 8 lbs in 4 weeks, I think I can do it! Hitting the gym today!!

thanks so much for this post! I am starting a new support group next month and cannot wait! I believe you have to have an outlet for your frustrations, examining your loss (weight, comfort foods, friends?), etc..

:youcandothis:New to blogging-ready to talk about this-had my sleeve on Feb 17, 2011- so wish I had done it sooner, almost did 4 years ago. I have done very well but am struggling now with anxiety and depression. Partly due to other issues but I am determined to be successful-it really helps to talk to others. I like to be encouraged and encourage others- I m reading a book called The Beck Diet Solution-I highly recommend it, my MDs office recommended it, deals with cognitive behavior modification. Lost 25lbs before surgery and 28 lbs since surgery! Yahh !
