That's great! Congrats!

You look great!

Hi - I don't get on the boards much but wanted to share a NSV I had this week. I'm 9 months out from VSG surgery & noticed how much I loved my school yearbook picture this year (I'm a teacher). What a difference! Love my sleeve!

I can see a difference - 100 lbs is an accomplishment! Keep up the good work!

I'm turning 40 soon - thanks for saying I look young!!!!!

Thanks for the kind words everyone! I am still in progress - I have around another 50 to go - but am about 80 lbs. down & feel great!

I'm sure they were trying to be nice! Update that pic

Please do not blame yourself. I doubt things just started up while you were in the hospital - he probably just was more careless since you were not home. He is most likely lying to you about the physical as well. Sorry this has happened to you - please know you are not responsible - he is. If you are considering staying you may want to put a tail on him & see if he is still spending time with her or anyone else & confront the other woman and let her spouse know about this (if she has one). You deserve someone who will respect you & love you with a whole heart. I wish you the best.

I'm 6 months out & just got back from a really great trip to Disney. At 60 lbs down (halfway to goal) it was so much easier to walk. Last year I had to stop a lot to catch my breath & this year I led the family! The highlight was riding the teacups with my kids. Last year I could hardly get in the teacup (had to basically step over the doorway cause I couldn't fit through it - and my stomach cut into the bar so my kids could not really turn it. This year I had no trouble just walking in, sitting down, & had about 8 inches to spare with the bar. My youngest shouted out "Mama I am so proud of you - your tummy won't slow us down anymore!" and I said "You are so right baby it won't slow us down ever again." Btw I also "released" 3 lbs on this trip! (I don't say lost because I don't want to find it!) I guess from all the walking & extra water! Love me sleeve & changing body!

I felt the same way about food not controlling me anymore. Great progress! Welcome to the losers bench!

Thanks! I think you should be ok to go on rides 2 months out -but check with your doctor of course. You'll still be eating mostly soft stuff so you may have to bring your meals.

Only 35 in 4 weeks? That is over half of what I have done in 6 months! You are doing great!!

Ha ha I can't txt on the iPad -

Thanks Everyone! I just noticed I said love me sleeve 'lol - do love myself but meant to say my 'lol Last year we did Universal but I couldn't click the Harry Potter seat at the entrance to the ride so I didn't try it - we didn't make it over there this trip but one day I will go back & ride it!!!! That will be another great NSV day!

Awesome! Congrats!

That is awesome! What a difference a year makes! Congrats!

I had a hard time until about 2-3 months out - now things like people eating fatty foods don't bother me. Mfunny but now I get a little grossed out at what I used to eat. Hang in there it gets so much better!

What a difference a year makes!!!

Get your thyroid checked too. I agree with the back to basics post. Drink water & go back to proteins first. Search diva's basics boot camp on this forum- she has tips on that thread. It's a new day - just forget anything gained - don't dwell on that - just start fresh with clean eating today & you'll see progress.

That's awesome! It is nice to know you can get whatever car you want w/o having to think about the size. II drove my husbands truck the other day & he said do you realize you didn't have to adjust the steering wheel? I used to move it up high like a bus to fit in and it still was tight. Now I sit fine with plenty of room. Was a nice NSV!!!

I have the Jimmy Buffet margarita machine which shaves ice & mixes protien shakes great! Got it at Lowes - was expensive but I use it evey day. My kids like it when I make them icees with it too

I felt the same way - just know that you don't need to have a "food funeral" because you will be able to eat the things you enjoy again - you will just want smaller portions. People told me this before survery but I didn't believe it. Being sleeved is different than dieting where you want more but can't have it. I'm content now (5 months out) eating small amounts & feel satisfied. I used to could eat say 3/4 of a large pizza (which is embarrassingand) not even feel full - now one piece does the trick & I only eat about half the crust & mostly scrape off the toppings. My son had his birthday last month - I ate half a piece of cake & it seemed too sweet so I threw the rest away. The old me would have snuck and ate my piece then all of the leftover cake once the guests left. I have 2 big ziplocks of it in my freezer and have not even been temped. It is a blessing - I'm so thankful for this surgery.

Just wanted to say I'm lifting you up in prayer & hang in there! Once you recover from surgery & see results you'll be glad you did it.

Looking great! Congrats!

That is awesome! It is the best feeling to have someone not recognize you! My son has been on the same little league baseball team 2 seasons & his coach came up to me at the start of this one & shook my hand & introduced himself! I just laughed & said who I was - he was embarrassed but I said don't be you just made my day!!!!
