I had my surgery two weeks before my birthday. Was kind of in a funk but ended up having a sugar free ice cream bar and I was ok with that. Turned out better than I thought.

I'm 5'7" and started at 358, surgery was march 19th and weighed in at 247 this morning. Loss has really slowed the last two months due to my lack of trying but am turning up the gym time, protein and water and hope to get things going again. Have gone from 3x shirts to xl and 38 in pants down to 16/18. Ultimate goal is to be a perfect size 12.

Hey fellow Oregon sleevers! I would love to start a support/discussion group for 2013. Maybe once a month to start. Anyone interested? I live out in the tanasborne area but willing to meet where ever. You can email me at karenlynn81@gmail.com if interested.

Last year I only had two, then once in Jan and once in August. Hoping this is going to be it.

Way to go! That is wonderful. Keep up the great work. Can't wait for pictures.

Hey Chris RN - I'm from Portland but I know there are a couple of people here from Eugene. Hoping2bdkinny is from Eugene and I think there is another gal here from that area.

Damn boy you are doing great! Looking good!!!

All I can say is "Damn girl you look good!"

Same here, it's crazy.

Thanks everyone! Hey Sannah go ahead and message me, I'll answer anything you have.

Hi VST Family, it's been awhile since I've posted on here and have finally gotten around to getting new pictures taken. It's been 7 months since surgery and I have lost 95 pounds. I feel so much better and have actually shopped in a regular women's clothing store for the first time in 19 years. This has been such an amazing journey and can't wait for it to continue down into onederland. Thanks to everyone on here for their amazing support and advice. I could not have done this without all of you.

Chili dog minus the bun is still one I love and have at least once a month. I add cheese and onions to mine. Chocolate is something I thought I would have a hard time with but I really don't crave it like I used to. And one little piece is more than enough and it's weeks before I even think about it.

I was a hard core diet cherry Pepsi drinker before the sleeve. Now I drink the diet snapple half and half with only 10 calories and only 1 carb.
