Thanks, starting weight 600 from 3-21-12 current weight 345 255 lbs gone forever.

Makes me want to sing that song "pants on the ground-pants on the ground" found these new unused work pants in the car trunk, put them there last year as they did not fit now they never will.

Amazing!!! Congrats!

Thanks, it looks like your doing very well also, congrats

I have been taking my PPI for a year now for the same thing, sliming(gurgling). Pantoprazole 40mg twice a day does the trick. $10 per month with insurance.

Craig that is an awesome accomplishment!

Feels good doesn't it!

I feel like a whole new person(even though I have lost almost 2 people,lol)

OMG, you should be dancing on the ceiling. Women always lose slower, nothing wrong with that. Could you have done it on your own? Be proud of yourself for doing the right thing.

Yes I'm proud :wub:

2 Years before VSG 600 lbs and 1 year after VSG 360=240 lbs so far year one

I bought some of there boxed dinners and gave most away to the local food bank, the only one that was somewhat ok was the chicken ravioli, I would never buy them again.

Most F/F frozen yougurts are super high in carbs, not good. Looking for a frozen sweet treat I found Skinny Cow at the grocery and the total count is very acceptable, I like the chcolate or vanilla flying saucers almost tastes like Carvel.

Explain to me slimming? New term to me. Or do I not want to know?!?!

Sliming is throwing up clear mucus, I get it almost everytime I eat just a little to much or something that doesn't agree with steve(the name of my sleeve)(yes I named it).I can really clear a restaurant when it happens

Tell your husband the Dr said 9 months so he better get started on it plus cook dinner do the laundry and get the kids to school

Tell them to EF OFF

Protein Shakes? Are you taking them as directed? I found Unjury chocolate classic to taste good like Nestles Quik

AWESOME!!!!

I am down 216lbs in the past 9 months and dream of being below 200(started at 600)

The first week of my pre-op diet I would wake up crying that I'm starving but had to remember the big picture. The first 2 weeks is the hardest thing you will ever do and be thankful for it. I am down 216 lbs now in the first 9 months and would do it again in a heartbeat.

_{lol, atleast you haven't started sliming}

Hi everyone, just a follow up... I'm 9 months post op and have lost 108 pounds.!!!!!! Aaaaaand just found out I'm pregnant!!!! My husband and I have been trying for 12 years and he is a cancer survivor! I also wanted to thank you all for your help earlier this year!!! Hope all is doing great, happy and healthy!!!!! HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!

Congrats on the weight loss and baby on board, I am down 216 lbs since 3-21-12, still have a ways to go...

Yes, I contacted my HR department and they made an exception after my local manager pushed for it for me.

I am almost 8 months post op 3-21-12 and down 198 lbs so far and feeling GREAT.

Keep trying no matter what they tell you

Not proud but I went from 94 to 61, dropped 180 lbs so far since 3-21-12

Congrats, the first 2 weeks pre op is the hardest thing you will ever do. I am feeling great down 180 lbs since 3-21-12

I had it in the beginning, it is called sliming. I had to learn to chew better and eat slower. Down 180 lbs sice 3-21-12

Dayuuum, I had 3 sips of my wifes margaritta at Don Pablos and she had to drive home

Good work, I was 600 on surgery date 3-21-12 now 422. it's now slowing down to 1-2 lbs per week

Congrats! You are doing great!!! I too know this feeling, started in march at 358 and today at 278. Can't wait for the next 80 pounds to come rolling off! Keep up the good work!

You are doing great, keep it up-I mean keep it off lol

I am down 160 lbs since 3-21-12 still have a ways to go but I am finally going in the right direction.

We went to Famous Daves lst night(bbq) and the manager came over and asked if my food was ok(with a puzzled look) I said it was GREAT, he said am I sure as I only ate 1 rib 1 small piece of chicken and a fork full of cole slaw, I told him about my VSG and he comped my meal WOW
