As an avid traveller, I agree that you should go. I am sure that you feel great and while on vacation that feeling only increases. Try to stick with your normal eating patterns: because there is such a huge selection you can be choosy about what you eat. Pre sleeve I could go on vacation and lose 5 pounds, just by being choosy, small portions and lots of activity. Go and have a fabulous time!! Will be thinking of you.

Thanks for the title but can you tell us who the poster is, what there name is? There are alot of posts with this title. thanks

OMG love it totally know what you are saying!! Feels great doesn't it?

Don't be hiding in MENS clothes, come on over to the ladies section, you have lost 110 pounds!! Show it off!!

You should be so proud of what you have accomplished, I am! Now as far as having fat goes, it is great that you have more fat than loose skin, this is good as your body is adjusting well. Really check out the ladies section of casual pants, even walmart has some great sport pants(danskin) and yes they have slimmer legs, all the rage these days! Take out some older clothes and try them on you will see how far you have come, woohoo great job keep going!!

fantastic job, keep on going. I know what it feels like to hit a goal, absolutely amazing!! You will do this!!

Thanks everyone for your support, I could not have done it without you.

Thanks Holly please realize how wonderful you have done. We can't plan our weight loss but know that it WILL happen. Just keep at it!! Please remember our NEW'S YEARS DAY CHALLENGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Let's all meet our goal!!

So as I have been losing weight I update it on my ticker. I slowly watch as it has been moving down the BMI scale: 33, 32, 31, 30 and now today when I updated it....................................29.8!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I AM NOW OVERWEIGHT!!!!!! I can't tell you the last time I was just overweight. This is a monumentous occassion. I think I deserve a bubble bath!!! Thanks for listening.

Well I chose Dr Fernando Garcia. I believe his price is still $4700.00. He is an amazingly skilled surgeon and has performed over 4000 surgeries. I understand he also trains others for different surgeries. If you research him he is fantastic and you can not go wrong with him. If you need more information please PM me. Good Luck.

Maybe try the fajitas and eat just the filling stuff slowly. Take the leftovers home if you like.

Oh that is interesting I haven't noticed that yet. Maybe it has to do with their diet plan and how strictly they follow it. I don't consume carbs, stick mostly to protein with a little veggie and doing great.

no because they would not be able to mask the taste of iron in a gummy.

Yes I had the complete revision done on one surgery: removal of band and sleeve performed. My surgeon was absolutely fantastic! I had no real pain, no gas, up walking right after surgery(very important). I am 10.5 weeks and have lost 48 pounds as of two days ago!! Couldn't be happier!

So I don't think it matters who your surgeon is. Sleevers all lose weight at different rates. Are you just curious? Just wondering why you are asking. You could end up being a slow loser or a faster loser, no matter what surgeon.

Hey Shelly I am 10.5 weeks and found I was doing the same thing eating at night but not hungry. So I stopped having so many snacks, started taking a prevacid type medicine and bingo I am really now not hungry don't want to eat at night. So what I found is that 6 small meals is too much I didn't need it. My weight loss is great and I couldn't be happier. Give it a try. You can do this!!

diamondeye how about you start. How much have you lost in what time frame?

Yes what a dream it would be to hate eating.I have spent my whole adult life doing just the opposite. Please don't complain, what a way to be!!

Oh congratulations Aleisha you must feel fantastic!! You will gain a plethera of information at this site. Keep coming back, glad to have met you!!

Thanks Lolly for the information. You are right if it makes us feel great then..........I just know I feel so much better when I take it.

Oh my Goodness I think I have to revise my goal for this challenge: I currently weigh 209.8 so my new goal for New Year's Day 2013 is to be well on my way into the 100's................................196 pounds!! Woohoo!!

This is what the sleeve is all about isn't it? Being able to live and eat in moderation and in our case still lose weight as needed. How wonderful is that!! Great job to you, so in control!!

No Bra during surgery you need to be butt naked. A good idea for post surgery is a Genie Bra very comfortable and supportive.

How long can we safely take a PPI like prilosec or pepsid? I really find they curb my hunger and feel much better taking them. Can we take them long term or should we stop say at 3 months/6 months?

Here I come 2013!! So yesterday I weighed in at 209.8. My goal for January 01, 2013 is to be well on my way in onederland at 196 pounds!! Woohoo let's do this!!! YES I CAN!!
