YAY BKMama!! Glad you enjoyed it!!

I have been taking Body Pump classes 3 times a week since Sept.1st. I absolutely love it!! I can tell a huge difference in my stamina & strenghth. My body is toning up quite nicely,too. Look forward to every class.

I grew up in NLR but spent my adult life around Conway- Greenbrier. I am down 86# with 50# pre surgery.

I'm originally from AR!! I have lived in Missouri for 3 years. Sleeved April of this year.

I was sleeved on 4/11. My children and grandchildren live in another state. I have had my 3 eight year old grandsons visiting all week. I never realized how hard it is to stay on schedule with Vitamins & Protein with others to tend to. These very active boys eat constantly & it is mostly junk. In the past I would have eaten every time they did. I have managed to eat my healthy portions of healthy food but I admit it has been hard!! I am in awe of those of you with families to cook for & shop for. I dont know how you do it on a daily basis.

I lost 12 the first month. Low BMI to start & i had lost 40 pre surgery. Very happy with results. I had surgery on 4/11 & I am down 76.

It sounds like a Vitamin deficiency to me. Have you had post op labs done yet?

Thanks!! I have really missed wearing it. It should be ready Friday.

I haven't been able to wear my wedding ring in about 5 months because it started getting too big. I took it in today to be resized. It is going from a 7-1/4 to a 6!!!!! I am shrinking all over

Kiki-- the bras are Enell & they are amazing. I have worn them for 8 years.

Good Luck littlebits!! By now you are probably on the table We have plenty of room on the loser's bench--- welcome to the greatest seat ever!!

Keep us posted Wishing you a successful surgery and speedy recovery.

thanks hm734!! I absolutely intend to!

Lissa... I knew there was a name for it..LOL I always stick to the plan

I am 8 weeks post op (4/11) and seem to have hit a stall again. I have been at 156.5 for about 2 weeks now. Can't help but worry because this is the weight that my body has stopped at everytime I have lost weight in the past. I am not freaking yet...LOL.. just a lil nervous. I plan to keep on keepin on and hopefully my sleeve will take care of me this time. Don't get me wrong.. I am thrilled and totally satified with my results so far... I just want past this brick wall. I am so close to being OVERWEIGHT.. I can smell it. (8 pounds).

WOWZERS!!!! Big Congrats!!! Keep on keepin on!!

Patrick you are doing great!! A huge NSV!!

I can totally relate to this. I find that as a rule women are vicious and jealous creatures. I was sleeved on 4/11/12 and began my journey in Sept 2011. I have lost 80# since then. Last week my husband and I saw a couple that we haven't seen since last fall. The woman said " I didn't recognize you with short hair." Seriously--- my haircut is all that is different?? My husband finally saw firsthand what I had been telling him. You just have to ignore and keep on keepin on.

Welcome to the Loser's bench!! Keep us updated on your progress. Walk! Walk! Walk! and Sip! Sip! Sip!

I will be happy to participate.

I am from Jefferson City and was sleeved on 4/11 in Columbia. I am tolerating food very well and have lost about 70# since Sept with 20 of that since surgery.

I pooped without Miralax.

LOL I can totally relate and would love that NSV!!!

I was cleared to do anything I could tolerate when discharged from the hospital. My doctor encouraged me to "get with it". And... I did. No problems what so ever.

topgun--- that was my hopes as well but didn't work out that way.

cassandra-- so true

Kczar-- I know!! I expected it to slide on through. I probably ate it to fast because it tasted so good to me.

I bought the sweetest watermelon night before last and it tasted great to me... too good I could not stop eating it even though it was filling me to the brim and I was getting miserable. I never did get sick ( unfortunately) but I do know that I cannot eat watermelon because I have no control. This is the first food since surgery on 4/11 that has had that control on me. Saying it to "my family" makes it all better.

Thanks!!
