The top pictures are me last week and the bottom pictures are me today. I'm down 31lbs.

Oh yes, good point. 5 meals a day * an average of 45 - 60 mins per meal -- yes, it does feel like we eat all day.

I'm 218lbs this morning. I started at 250 on 4/2/12. I'm so happy.

My favorite thing about this board has always been that despite the number of repeated questions and very similar posts, I haven't seen anyone react negatively to those posts. Until now.
I think it's great that you are able to intellectualize the way weight loss works, LadyIvy. However, I hope that as a result of your post people will NOT stop posting about concerns they have - rational or not - and I hope that there will always be compassionate people to reassure them with kindness rather than frustration and aggravation.

Why is it that when people are excited and say how much weight they lost in a certain amount of time there is always someone that has to burst their balloon by saying, "enjoy it. It doesn't last long." Why do they have to ruin that persons high by pointing out the negative? It irritates me. Just be happy for your fellow sleeves and keep your negtive comments to yourself. Everyone knows that you don't continue to lose mass amounts of weight every week or month so you don't have to rain on their parade.

This is me the night before surgery all the way up til tonight, 7 weeks post op.

I was sleeves April 2 and I am down 28lbs. I get in all my Protein and liquids. I eat chicken, fish, eggs, tuna and cheese. I go to the gym for an hour 5 days a week and I do not eat anything that is not on the doctors plan. I feel I'm losing weight way too slowly but it is coming off.

Congrats....on ur way!!
keepin it real

Sorry to get everyone all worried but I dropped iPhone on in the toilet bowl while vommiting. I am currently still in the hospital. My Dr thinks I have deep vein thrombosis in my abdomen area. They put me in the critical care unit after I threw up and decided to continue monitoring me.
The ab pain subside slightly but have severally limited my moved due to the pain I receive in response. Dr decided to keep me on a full liquid diet ... I havent passed any gas since Sunday but my bowel movement are functionaling. Not at it's best but it's getting there according the dr. They checked me several times for stool sampled to to ensure that I was not bleeding in my stool.,
They put me on more blood thinners and I actually went in today for ultrasound. No blood clots in my legs, not all arteries and traffic ways were found in my abdomen during the vascular ultrasound.
Currently I'm in bed. Will be missing a whole week of work may even get fired for being a liability. Iono I don't care my health is more important right now. Jobs come and go.
I just wanna tell everyone thank you for the prayers, hugs and especially the warm wishes of recovery. I was pretty shocked to see this thread branch out like it did so I do appreciate the love from each and everyone of you from the bottom of my heart
I would have updated my situation but I had to wait for my cousin to get me a new phone from bestbuy. Which was very difficult since bestbuy wanted me to be there physically in person despite my condition.

And im s orry but there's nothing fishy goin on. The only reason why I was probably showing up online is because this website is my homepage on my CPU at home. So anyone who uses my CPU always jumps to this page first.
Plus I changed my name from JimmyGotSOUL to JimmyGotSLEEVED last week
Apologies again for the unnecessary stress

Anyone else think that this sounds fishy? Especially if he was in fact online recently changing his name? I can't be the only one!?!!?

The picture on the left is me the night before surgery. I was sleeved on 4/2/12. The picture on the right is me tonight. I will be 6 weeks post op tomorrow. I am proud of myself so far. I am working hard and it is paying off.

Big changes how wonderful you look. Keep on going you are doing great.

Wow, you've lost a huge amount. Your tummy has shrunk!! Good on you.

Aw! That's awesome @rodswife! I would so love to have a house full of children someday too! Wednesday is the big day to see how the eggs are looking and I'm praying HARD. I wouldn't say no to twins. We've been waiting and wanting so long that a nice multiple birth would feel like making up for lost time, lol.
