    This weekend for the first time ever . I went to payless shoes and was able to put on those trendy boots that zip to the knees. God i love my sleeve.
  2. I wish i had statistics. All i know is i researched my dr for a year and if i didnt have the option of going to mexico i would not have been able to have the surgery. I was lucky ive had no conplications and ive healed nicely . I havent lost as fast as some but im doing well.
  3. I am real at least i think i am
  4. Im super real i had dr verboonen in tj . Had an excellent experience loved his nurse she spoke maby 20 words in english but she was excellent. Im 5 and half months out
  5. I had it in mexico because it was 4500.00 and i knew people who had used my surgeon. Best descion ever
  6. I have been loosing hair by the handfull and its freaking me out!!! I get all my protien and vitamins its just something i was told we have to deal with. But my hair was thin to begin with and i can see my scalp in places
  7. What kind of carb detox are you doing? I have the same problem.
  8. I was just shocked that im so much smaller at a higher weight. Lol i absolutely will look into getting my body fat tested. I wish i had done that before i started.
  9. So ive been going to the gym for 6 weeks now doing cardio and weight training and have lost all of 6 pounds but dropped from a loose 18 to a comfortable 14. Last time i wore 14s i was 20 pounds less. This seems crazy to me. Just wanted to see if anyone else has experienced this
  10. Sometimes food feels like lead just sitting in my tummy making me very very uncomfortable
  11. Im almost 5 months out and i do still enjoy food and i love my.morning cup of coffee. However i have been able to tollerate starbucks its just way to rich. I eat or drink my tiny portion then im done. I must confess that i have become a feeder i love to cook and feed my family and friends.
  12. I quit using ecigs its the only thing that worked and the surgeon said it was ok
  13. The gas pains were bad for about a week. Then i had major fatigue for about 2 more weeks.
  14. Boots to be honest at first i got mad when i realized over eating is just not possible. But then the anger became a feeling of freedom. The sleeve works its doing its job. I still eat foods i love just not alot of it and the food tastes so.much better knowing i finally have control
  15. You cant really over eat after the sleeve. The full feeling can be horrid if you take that extra bite . You dont want to get that feeling.
  16. I think it depends on how the relationship was before surgery. If it was s@#t before then after there can be a lot of resentment. Im still trying to figure out that out for myself
  17. I didnt keep is secret at all. I told everyone. Now i wish i hadent as i turned out to be a slow looser and ive had people ask me if its normal to loose weight so slow or i get the have you lost anymore weight question. I think im doing ok lost 51 pounds since 5/25/12 .
  18. Sleeved 5/25 and today hit the 50 pound down mark. Loosing hair but not too bad.
  19. Im 4 months out and have never thrown up
  20. Im just going threw a stall i know. It will pass. I feel smaller if that helps any
  21. Ive only been seeing my trainer for two weeks and wouldnt you know it ive beem stalled the whole time. I will say she works me to the bone lol.
  22. I pulled money from my 401k and went to mexico paid 4500 for my surgery and have had zero problems
  23. This is exactly what i needed to read right now. Im a slow looser compared to most and yesterday i was just moaning to my husband that im.4 months into the honeymoon period and not loosing like everyone else. Thank you you just gave me hope
