Lol! I remember that SF pudding was a HUGE deal for me!!! I won't touch any pudding again in life, but boy it was great while it lasted! Sent from my iPhone using VST

I was sleeved 2/20/12! Loving my journey! Sent from my iPhone using VST

I have a huge, thick, natural Afro that I have enjoyed growing out for the past 6 years...I would like to keep all of it! Lol! But, I regularly wear weave & braids and I'm willing to sacrifice SOME of my beautiful 'fro in exchange for the wonderful life I have now! Sent from my iPhone using VST

Lol! I'm 8 weeks out & Tiny Sleevie Timkins over here does get loud sometimes, on a regular basis...I think it's funny, what with the gurgling, burping and new hollow sounding poots I let go...I just consider it the soundtrack of my new lifestyle! Lol! Sent from my iPhone using VST

All of you who are in PRE-approval, I wish you success! My insurance, Health Advantage Choice only has 3 requirements: psych eval, 5 yr weight history & 6 month dr supervised weight loss attempt. I was blessed, because they approved me SO fast it made my head spin! I sincerely pray that speed will come to you all during your process Sent from my iPhone using VST

I can't wait to: Play b-ball with my 3 sons without having 911 on speed dial. Take my boys to the zoo (my favorite place), and be able to keep up with them walking. Shop in regular stores and actually buy modern, cute clothes. I want to shop all the trendy mall stores! Wear knee boots with skinny jeans! Rock a bikini! Yep, I said BIKINI! To wear cute, matching panty/bra sets again...Vicky's Secret, I've missed you! To go to the beach & not feel like a Grandma around all the bikini babes. To cross my legs. To look smokin' dayum hot naked! To have a boob job & tummy tuck. To be in a committed relationship with the special man God has in store for me-I'm tired of being hit on because "fat girls are easy" To wear cute workout clothes without rolls around my waist or dimples in my butt.

I told my surgeon up front that I am a sushi & salad addict, he informed me that sushi is considered the same as salad because of all the fresh veggies, and that I could have it at 6 weeks if I felt comfy with it. I waited until today, I'll be 8 weeks Monday! The sushi chef at my Kroger made me Spring Rolls with Shrimp & he wrapped them in rice paper because I wasn't sure about eating sticky rice...OMG! Great!!! I love them & they are only 190 calories per roll! Whoop! Whoop! They went down great! Sent from my iPhone using VST

I'm the same way!!! Lol! At least you have a partner!!! I've about killed the Energizer Bunny at my house!!! Sent from my iPhone using VST

salad is my fave!!! BUT all the salads I can buy use iceberg & I really want something different...my fave sushi bar and US pizza both have awesome salads, alas...with iceberg. I guess I have to make my own salad, but I prefer to just buy it. Sent from my iPhone using VST

I told all the nosey roseys that I had my gallbladder out! Lol! I don't believe on sharing personal info if I don't want to. According to HIPPA, what your boss did was illegal! You can sue!! Sent from my iPhone using VST

Whoop! Whoop! I love it!!! Just today my 13 yr old son noticed my wrist bones...I had never seen them! Lol! Sent from my iPhone using VST

I have United Healthcare for Republic Svcs and my approval took two weeks. I started my PRE op diet the following Momday & was sleeved 2 1/2 weeks later. Sent from my iPhone using VST

I will be soo glad when my PT releases me to exercise! I'm soo ready! I'm ready to see my goal! Sent from my iPhone using VST

Being judged is a part of this journey...so are ignorant/rude comments. I nipped ALL that in the bud with my friends/family. I made it CLEAR that this is MY body, MY choice...and if anything has ANYthing to say to me that is not positive, they can keep it to themselves, because I CAN and will exclude them from my life. I will not allow anyone to diminish my joy in this journey. Putting my foot down comes easily to me and I practice it well. Take your joy...it's yours! Sent from my iPhone using VST

I hope I attached the pic correctly! This is my first post-op pic--I'm wearing a skirt I've had for at least 3 or 4 years, but couldn't wear because it was too little! It was baggy today! Whoop! Whoop! This is what it feels like for dreams to come true, huh??? Sent from my iPhone using VST

Before I could have soft meat post op, I used to chew the heck outta ALL the seasoned meat I could get my hands on, and spit it out! And I have read many posts on this forum of people who do the same. I don't have to do it anymore because I'm 6 weeks out...but it sure served it's purpose right after surgery. I do agree that it should not become a habit though. I don't get into psycho babble because there is a psych disorder for EVERYTHING and you sound just fine to me. Good luck on your journey!

Oops! I have alot left to go! My goal is not concrete, but somewhere in the range of 125-135. I'm not picky right now. I'm sure I'll feel differently after I start working out. What's your goal? Sent from my iPhone using VST

I was sleeved on 2/20/12 and as far as I know I've lost 43lbs. I don't own a scale, so I only weigh sporadically. I think I've lost more, because last night my pants fell down! Lol! Fortunately, I was at home! Sent from my iPhone using VST

I think you're okay! I was sleeved 2/20/12 & I'm down 43 lbs... Sent from my iPhone using VST

I would think so. I had all sorts of soup when I was on liquids, both PRE & post op. Sent from my iPhone using VST
