    Sharon's last chance got a reaction from No game in OUT OF BODY EXPERIENCE?   
    I think I'm having an out of body experience. I know this must be true because this body looks and acts nothing like the one I've lived in for sooo many years. The back and knees I knew were so painful I couldn't walk or stand for more than 2-3 minutes. My old head sat directly on my shoulders without a neck. Now I have a real, if not swan like neck. I never had collar bones. rib bones, hip bones or those cute little shoulder bone, all of which are emerging.. My old face had no real features like chin bones ccheekbones and contours. all of which had disappeared into fat. Now Bones and contours are making an appearance. And oh, by the way, has anyone seen my cleavage. It used to sit just under my chin and now I can barely find it! Lets not forget about the tail bone. I'm not crazy about that one cause it hurts when I sit down. I have lost 20 inches from my wast and 6 inches from my neck. I still want/need to lose between 50 - 60 pounds, but compared to the 163 pounds I've already lost, this is not daunti.g or discouraging. This wasn't all easy, but neither was "my so called life" before therapy and surgery. Every tough moment fades away compared to the poitives I am experiencing. Long post, but my point is it was so worth it. I'm so happy that I did this. I have to pinch my self to be sure I'm not dreaming. Folks on this site will never know how much they helped me through the rough spots and the joy and hope I have recieved and continue to recieve through this site. Thank you all.

    Isn't this amazing? We are really going to go all ghe way to goal once and for all. Personally, before sleeve surgery, I had no vision of me ever reaching normal weight, and believed I would die fat, many years prematurely. YeeHaw! I love reading about everyones success!

    probably the best way for you to collect this information is to find the myfitnesspal username thread and add all of us on there, and then check out our food logs. That is the best way to get a realistic picture.
    Most days I try to have at least one egg, and a 4 ounce salad - and something else in between those things.

    Maybe your friends just need more time to absorb the change and accept the new reality. I imagine in the past you enjoyed shopping and eating out together, perhaps without worrying about calories. Maybe if you continue to explain and stand firm on what you will and wont eat, they will get it and stop trying to feed you inapropriate food. I hate you see you lose your friends over this. Congratulations on staying strong!

    Sharon's last chance got a reaction from CaseyMichigan in Sleever of 2 months - Please share with me   
    Hang in there. I had surgery May 17, 2012, was in hospital 9 days and had to go back weekly. for about 2 months for IV fluids as I was dehydrated. Couldn't keep much down. I had 4 endoscopic stretches over the first 2 -3 months and finally started doing better. Just want you to know, I now have no regrets. I have lost a total of 161 pounds including 54 pounds lost pre op. Early on I had the same feelings of regret that you are having, but I want you to know that not only do I not regret the surgery, I think its the second best thing I've ever done. Going to therapy to prepare for this surgery was the first best thing as I know I would not have been successful had I skipped that step. I hope you will soon be done with the complications and miserable times and begin to enjoy the many benefits and pure joy and amazement that I feel as I watch my body change and my health improve each day. Sending prayers and.positive thoughts your way for strength to get through this awful time and fast healing and recovery.

    I had Surgery on May 17, 2012. My highest weight, about 3 months before surgery was 374. I lost 54 pounds pre- surgery. Weight on day of surgery was 320. Post op I have lost 107 pounds, for a total of 161 Pounds. I am off most of my medications and feel so much better. At my max I wore a size 32/4x. I am currently wearing size 18/2x and in some styles can almost get away with a 16. In spite of some complications which kept me feeling pretty miserable for the 1st 3 - 4 months, this is one of the best things I have ever done. I'm not sure exactly what my final goal will be, but I think I want to lose another 50 pounds.
    I'd like to add before. and current pictures but haven't figured that out yet. This surgery has given me back my life and I couldn't be happier. I really appreciate all the support and information that is shared here.
