I am so glad that I did because it is so easy to be discouraged when you are not losing. Once a month same time oof month. I took pics also but are not ready to share those yet.

I was sleeved on Feb 4th , 2012. I decided to take my measurements on Feb 12th, when I got home and was feeling better. Well I took them yesterday, Mar 12, one month later and although I did not lose as much weight as I thought I would considering my pre op diet lose, I was amazed by the inches I lost. I lost a total of 14 inches this month. 5 inches in my waist alone. Some of you had impressed on me the inportance of NSV's ,now I totally understand why!!!! I feel great!!!!!

I brought a small bag with me that included a heating pad. I f you do not bring one, then you will need it lol. It actually helped me a great deal and I was so glad I brought it. I was also sleeved by Dr. Kelly. I love him. He was awesome. He cared for me way more than I ever expected!!!! If you pack lite, which I did you only have to bring a carry on. I brought zip up light robe, nite gown footies (instead of slippers to save room) I wore lose pants, with waist bann there and wore the same ones home just another shirt and underclothes. I stayed mostly in my room so maybe one or two outfits, if your up to going anywhere. It is good to walk, and the hotel is nice enough so we walked the halls and up and down the street (very close). My husband showed me how to roll everything up like they do in the military. lol . I brought no makeup, no blow dryer, just gas x strips. I can not remember what else. Hope this helps.

The same thing is happeneing to me. Right now as I write I can not see some of the words. No, I do not know the questions you ask, I am not that familiar with computers. I know my version is outdated. I see 4 small blocked adds and it says recent blog entries in purple and recent topics in purple also. Could it be OUR computers if it is happening tomore than just one peroons' computer? I was told I have windowsxp32 in think if that helps. I do not have windows 9 and can not get it on this computer. If you do contact me back , if you talk a lot of lcomputer lingo I most likely won't understand a word your saying. This is really agrravating though. I can post but can not see about a 3rd of what I am writing on the left side, coverd by ads. thanks for any help

Hi, I waited a day or two to post that I reached onederland. Very excited but a little sceptical because my weight has been fluctuating the entire time. I eat right, I exercise, drink lots, get in my protien. Not many issues, maybe except for constipation (sorry if TMI). I post I am 198, so excited, and that officailly means I claim it and believe it. I know I can not gain it back. I worked harder, exercised more and ate less yesterday than I have since I have been sleeved. I also drank a ton yesterday. What happens, I wake up this morning 199.6 , yikes. Do any of you lose two, then gain one, the entire time. I never never just go down, down. I am either stuck or gain one of my two pound loss back. It is so aggravating! I have no reason to complain and actaully satisfied when I look at the big picture (my ticker). I never could of lost what I had without my WONDERFUL sleeve!

Congrats to you! Sounds like you have been through a lot. Now you have a new begiinning.

I am so so happy for you!!!!!! :D :D :D

I was in a wicked stall it seemed, then I realized ... I FINALLY made it to onederland. yeahhhhhhhhhh!!!1

UPDATE Goal Weight by Easter 182 lbs. (20 lbs) 2/24 202 3/02 200.8 3/9 198.4 Yeahhhhh wonderlanddddddddd!!!!

Awesome!!!!

I was sleeved a little less than 5 weeks ago. I did the same thing is so many others on here. Someone said to me it is like having a funeral with food. Kind of like having a last meal, (everything ) before surgery. P.S. Post away!!! Congrats on your decision.

Thats right girly!!!!!!!!

Hi Tracey, I am right there with you. I was sleeved on Feb 4th. On Feb 9th I weighed 213. The next week I lost like I believe 9 lbs and then have only lost like 4 more. My ticker does not show it. I really have not lost anything for a few weeks, maybe a lb up and down. I am kind of discouraged. I know it will come off. It has to. I am very good about what I eat and I have been walking a lot also. My clothes difinitely fit differently so I am losing inches. I was to so bad be under 200 but it I am just stuck!!!!!!!!! We both have to hang in there. Know you are not alone. Hopefully soon we can look back at this post and laugh together . When I look at the big pic and realize that I have lost 30 lbs in 5-6 weeks, it really is not bad at all!!!

Love it!!!!!

Hang in there, you can do it!!!!!

Oh come on with the ideas.... I would love to hear some good ones also. I know THE WORLD ACCORDING TO EGGFACE has some.

Thank you everyone.

Congrats to you!!!!

Thank y Thank you Sandy.... I wonder is it way more expensive?

I was sleeved in Mexico 4 weeks ago. I have some acid issues. I was thinking of starting to take Omerprazole. I have heard some take it, especially when they think they might be confusing being hungry with havind acid. My question is this... All I can seem to find is the timed released Omerprazole , Do any of you take that? I seem to recall my surgeon saying not to take time released something but maybe that was tylenol or something else. I am not sure.

You are going to be fine. I had all the same reservations and I went to MX and 4 weeks later I am running , playing tag football with my grandbabies. I am so happy. I also had to lose almost 100 lbs. Expect the worst but pray for the best. Always, always only tell your self positive affirmations. You can and will do this. I decided not to share with anyone either, with the exception of my husband, sister in NY and a boss at work. Best decision I made. I also would rather focus on what I need to get done than be preoccupied with others doubts. I am so happy for you. I will be praying for a speedy, save and easy recovery(for you also lovelylirpa). Keep us posted how you do.

I remembered another from yesterday, I ran playing tag football with my grandbabies yesterday. Can not believe I did not list that one!!!

I think that was very conservative, in your reaction, lol. That was so sweet of them to tempt you like that lol. Truly what wonderful family you do have for being there. Congrats on being sleeved, I was sleeved 02/04, right behind you. Hang in there .
