  1. Just feeling so happy with self an sleeve. Remember thinking it was odd that people talked about their sleeve and not their stomach as tho it was a new entity and not a see less part of them any longer. LOL!! I get it now!! It is a brand new thing! Brand new relationship to food! Brand new life!! What a marvelous gift we have given ourselves:-D

  2. 61lbs,! Lovin life again!!

  3. Fifty first pound!!!! Yea!!

  4. Only one pound last week so guess I have hit my first real plateau in 3 Mo's!! Still feels great to be sliding down and NOT up!!! I'll take it!!! I am off MOBIC and feel better than I have in ten years... Swam a mile yesterday and every day am grateful I did this!!!

  5. Made it!! 40.2 lbs !!! Halfway to goal!!! Slow but sure ... Perfect average of 10 lbs / month but didn't get here fast and happy the curve keeps going DOWN!!!

  6. Struggling towards that 40th pound... That's like one large bag of kitty litter never to haul around again!!!

  7. Struggling towards that 40th pound... That's like one large bag of kitty litter never to haul around again!!!

    How Many Carbs

    When all there is are carbs fats and proteins and the protein is half of total ... The other two make up the other half no? Keeping fats to a minimum means the rest will be carbs especially if you need fiber!! The trick is to get good carbs like fruit and veggies not sugar:-) so yes.... 40-60 is fine!!!
  11. R u using gas-x? It helped me:-)
  12. Try again! Am 3lbs from 1/2way mark with no major stalls... Off my MOBIC and feeling better than I have in several years...am so grateful and so excited about future !!!

  13. I'm there now at 2 months... But am ok with that if it stays steady... The more you have to lose the more dramatic at first but after you are about half way to goal it slows down. Pros to this are it gives the skin a chance to adjust ... Not so much saggy baggy:-)
  14. Wearing pants I haven't bothered with for two years....yea!!!
