  1. I think you are on the right path and losing as expected. You've lost a lot of weight and Im sure it isnt noticable to you but is to others. However you'll be at your goal before you know it. I was 260 when i first started my journey and now Im 218 I can see results when i put on some of my clothing BUT I can still fit into them and it takes me forever to actually drop a pants size but I refuse to beat myself up. I'll continue to look at the scale and go off of that.
     
    Good Luck and take care... Your journey has just begun!

    I'm sitting at work and just finished eating a chicken tamale from Trader Joes. thinking to myself!
     
    I want to create a blog where we all can share our opinions,thoughts, ideas, and journey.
     
    I enjoy giving useful tips and tricks and eating, exercising, and just living a happy life before and after the surgery if you choose that route.
     
    If this is your first time here, please introduce yourself and dont feel limited to throw what ever our there this is not a topic thread so please make yourself at home!!
     
    First I'd like to discuss who I am and how I got where I am
     
    I'm 24 years only, highest weight EVER 260lbs... ( I feel thats a little to big for my age) SO I've decided to have the gastric sleeve procedure and my surgery date is scheduled for 11/9/11. I didnt notice but I was eating approx. 4000 calories a day! which caused me to gain an additional 45 lbs on top of the weight that was already there!
     
    Was it binge eating? NO.. I simply enjoyed going out with my friends, drinking, clubbing and eatting! This was my life for 2 years straight. I carry my weight in my stomach and thighs so considering i buy stretchy jeans i never noticed that I was gaining all of this weight!
     
    I'd eating McDonalds for breakfast ( 2 sausages Mcmuffins with cheese please??), taco bell for lunch ( 2 bean and cheese burritos no onions with sourcream, an order of cinnamon twist and a small soda) and maybe even mcdonalds again for dinner ( Big Mac Medium Fry and a coke)! I was happy and this is where i ended up!
     
    I didnt want to be one of those people who created a blog after accomplishing my goal and cganging sides! NO I wanted to allow you all access to my progress because a little inspriation goes a lonnnng way!
