it's not always easy to follow all the guidelines; but when I do, it shows:)

you look fantastic!!!

thank you!! when the doctor told me " it's a tool, it wont work if you don't use" I had no idea how serious that statement was. Now I know lol!!

thank you!

18 months?! this is insane!!

What can I say that was not said already?! I am absolutely in love with my sleeve. I am absolutely in love with the person that I have become through this process. I am in love with the control that I have over my eating. THE BEST feeling ever :wub: !!! I had this surgery to take charge of my life again, and I am learning to do just that. I am more outgoing, more active, more confident. I am a better mom and wife. I have a new lease on life and I am going to do my best to live it to the fullest!! My only regret: that I did not do it sooner.

I found that out yesterday and I am going shopping tomorrow! one meal has 22g of protein and 280 calories!! They will be handy for busy days.

I am extremely happy actually lol!!

You will get there before you know:)

awwwww thnx!! it's not easy, but i am doing it:)

thnx:)

Best of luck to you!!! and yes, next Xmas you will be a whole new person:)

he does look like he is lol!!!

thnx! we had a fantastic time!!

Did you already have surgery? Are you eating enough protein? Are you drinking enough water? Are you keeping busy?

my ankles are somewhat visible at this point lol!!! I have never been able to wear one, so I will keep that in mind for a possible gift:)

thnk you so much!!

He was very very happy;-)

thnx! I wish I could ownit in every color:)

thnx:)

partners in crime lol!!!! good luck ladies!!!!!

thank you:)

Hope you continue to do well! and take it from me, don't become addicted to scale. It's a recipe for disaster! The stalls will come. Pictures and how your pants feel are less stressful ways to measure your journey:)

Last night was for sure the best night of my life. Last year I went to an event with my husband. I felt beautiful but yet uncomfortable the whole time. I had on a pretty dress, nice make up, a pretty smile, and my handsome husband right next to me. But yet I felt like I didn't quiet blend. This year was a different story. I walked in and own my space !!! I was so happy to be in a room FULL of food but yet my attention was not on that( Nothing taste as good as skinny honey!). We spoke to other people and flirted with each other like little kids :wub: Needless to say I fell in love with the man again! I felt proud of myself. When I asked my husband to take me to the dance floor, his facial expression was priceless!! Before I would have bite his head off for even suggesting it. But last night I ASKED! he loved it! we danced songs, after songs until my toes begged for mercy lol!! I am grateful to God for allowing me to see this day. I went from a size 28 to a 16 and that is the best XMAS present ever... 1st picture: Picture of last year VS this year with my hubby 2nd picture: Me, Last year VS this year

ok....so....WOW!!!!!!
