Thank you!

Well, It's just over 2 years, how are you all maintaining? All's good here. I do notice if I'm lax on taking my vitamins, I sure do feel tired & crummy! I would rather take the vitamins than the meds I was on!!! I wore a bathing suit for the first time in over 30 years this summer!

Please read the labels on baby food... lots of sugar & sodium.

By having a liquid diet, you are not only shrinking your liver, you are also emptying the solid particles from your stomach. Cleaning out your system...

I still have knee pain, but it's from an old injury. Tylenol #3( with Codeine ) works best for me on my bad knee days! Extra strength Liquid Tylenol works better than the pills.

LOL!

Nicely said! Best thing I ever did for myself

Cameron69, It does get better! It was the BEST thing I ever did for myself! No regrets here! Take your measurements & keep a log of your weight too. Walk & sip, walk & sip... Follow your dr's. & nutritionist's orders. Good luck & keep us posted.

I used to add different seasonings to my broth to change the flavors... Mrs. Dash & garlic powder were my favorites. SF jellos were good too.

I still do 5 to 6 small meals & I'm 16 months out. I'm maintaining with 1000 - 1200 calorie intake.

I'm 16 months out & my only regret is.... that I didn't do it sooner! I feel so much better & I'm off most of my meds! I need to post newer pics (coming soon). I haven't had any complications AND I followed doctors orders too the letter! Some people don't and they pay for it.( I do realize complications can happen either way). Do a lot of research and you will make your own decision on what is right for you. Good luck

Hahaha!

Loose clothes!

I wear a cheaper version of spanx every day.(the granny pantie kind). EVERYTHING gets saggy (if you know what I mean)... and they help hold it all together. At my age, I don't plan on having plastic surgery.

Good job!

At over a year out, I still have gurgling...

Doreykn anyone an add me!

Isn't that a great feeling?

Riverview,MI. here! 20 minutes south of Detroit. Had my sleeve done @ Henry Ford Hospital in Wyandotte, MI, by Dr. Kharbutli on Oct.26,2011... Best thing I ever did for myself!

I was considering the by-pass until I talked to the surgeon. He explained in terms I could understand, all the differences of the surgeries. I went with the sleeve as the by-pass messes with the intestines and the failure rate of the lap-band (which I never even considered). He seems to think that the lap-band will eventually be done away with... and replaced by the sleeve, as he has done so many revisions from lap band to sleeve! I checked out a lot of gastric by-pass & sleeve videos on youtube also... I am entirely happy with my sleeve!!! Good luck with your decision.

When I get that feeling, I drink more water or go for healthier snacks... Cheese & multi grain crackers were & still are my go to snack!

I thank GOD every day for my family dr.... He is the one that suggested the surgery to me. I couldn't "move" as you suggest! I had injured both knees & made it impossible to exercise. And, like you I wasn't "disciplined" enough to eat less! My dr. told me to have the surgery, lose the weight, then work on the knees! I am SO glad I listened to him! I did my homework on this before I had it done! Sorry to hear that anyone has to go through complications, but we all know the risks of ANY surgery. They tell you ALL the time (at least my surgeon did)...

Take your measurements! I didn't & would have really liked to have known how many inches I lost. I know the sizes I went from, but it's not the same! Don't be afraid to let the gas out after surgery! I laughed so hard when it finally happened, I didn't think it was going to end & be in the bathroom if at all possible (just in case). Don't want a Shart! LOL!!!
