Thank you. I appreciate it. It amazes me too. Im just thrilled it is actually working.

Hey everybody! It's been a long, long time since I have posted anything, but I wanted to just put an update out there. I was sleeved Dec. 20, 2011, and have lost 54 pounds so far. The doc gave me the green light for getting pregnant a couple weeks ago, and I am doing my first cycle of Clomid. I am so excited! We go to count eggs in 2 days! I have been wanting this for so long now, and I can't believe it's finally happening. DH and I have been wanting a child for over 4 years now. We didn't find out that I had an issue until 2 years ago, and I was diagnosed with PCOS. I am so thrilled to finally be at this point, and hope so much that we can get pregnant right away!

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.

Partake and parade?

Or "slurp and sache"?

What about "slurp and wander"?

Oops..meant drink & stroll

How about drinki and stroll?

So tonight I was taking a bath and I realized that I fit in the tub a whole lot better. My hips are not stuck up against the sides as much and the Water actually flows behind me. BUT more importantly, when I looked in the mirror afterwards, I could actually see my girl parts for the first time in 3 years. Lolol

That doesn't sound to bad, I've recently switched to using the strawberry champion brand and I put in about a teaspoon and a half of sugar free strawberry Syrup and a little vanilla extra and it's fine, it's just a lot to drink

rodswife... slow but sure wins the race!
When were you sleeved... I am 22mths out now, so I expect long periods of nothing... in saying that I am not gaining so all is well.
When I was first sleeved I went through many stalls and this has been my pattern.
Try to stay positive and you'll get there... let your body do what it needs to.

Loving this... to be reacquaited with a long lost 'friend' is truly an awesome NSV...
I remember the first time I had a bath and ALL my tummy was under the water... no little belly island for me now! Thank you for the reminder ... what a great day! LOL... keep the NSVs coming!

Hehee me too can't wait till fat vag I'd completely gone lol

Surgery was 4/2 and I've lost 25lbs so far. I'm working out about an hour a day but starting this week, 3 days a week will be a 2 hour workout because I'm starting Water aerobics as well. I'm very happy with myself. I've been working hard.

Yes Marnie. I do. I let everyone at work and friends and family know I had this surgery. I am not ashamed of it. I needed help, a tool, to help me be healthy. What I was ashamed of was being morbidly obese. I of course get looks about what is on my plate but don't care because those who judge don't matter and those who matter don't judge. I have had nothing but great response and some concern over whether it was enough nutrients. I explain about my Protein intake and they get it.
I wish you the best and remember you are doing this for you and thats all that matters.

Yep! I've been bouncing around the same 5lbs for over 6mths and lost a full dress size! The scales are only one way to measure success!
The body is a weird and wonderful machine and operates on many levels... as along as I am getting smaller, I am starting to not care that much about the numbers on the pesky scale!!

The scale didn't move for a good 2-3 weeks for me and I FINALLY lost 3 pounds but myself and others around me have noticed I have lost inches. Doctor said he rather me weigh for example 290 and look like I weight 180 verses the other way around. So I try not to weigh myself unless it is at appointments or I'm at the gym.
