I Need To Lose 150-180 Pounds, I Need Your Opinions!
I think its a personal choice. i had heard somethings from people i knew who had the bypass and i felt it wasnt for me. I started out at 325lbs and my drs as well as my goal for me was 160. Thats a total of 165lbs to lose....im 5'8'' by the way and im 25 yrs old. I had surgery just shy of 5 months ago on May 10th 2012. and im 97lbs down, i have 68lbs to go. Its still a ways to go but i cant believe its happening so soon. i hope to be at goal by january? (hopefully!) i wish you the best of luck in whatever you choose!! the sleeve has given me a whole new life to look forward to!

Srry If Its Random...i'm Just Really Annoyed!
This has nothing to do with weight loss...but I'm just really annoyed and need to vent. Who doesn't have sex on their anniversary?...apparently me and my husband.I'm so mad!! Like how can you be ok and whatever just watching a movie with me while I'm on the bed and you lay on the floor?! Ughh... I'm going to bed...just looking at him makes me mad. Men...i swear.

Kinda Confused...
Had surgery thursday so I'm on clear liquids...weight load is fine but feeling comfortable with my new stomach isn't. I don't know what's my full feeling...and it sucks because being diabetic one of the symptoms is being thirsty alot...i feel like sips is torture to me...i feel like I'm always thirsty...but obviously my new stomach holds about 4oz...how long does your stomach stay full on liquids? And if its completely empty can you take bigger sips back to back seeing as how the reason we sip is because our limited amount of space? But if I'm empty and I take a bottle and fill up 4oz of like crystal light them can Idrink how I want sering as how its pre measured and I'm empty?...kinda dumb questions maybe...just kinda confused
