    When I get home from choir practice tomorrow night, I'd be happy to work on creating a private Facebook group for us...unless someone else beats me to it

    I think the caffeine restriction is due to dehydration. I have been drinking Decaf (kcups at that!). No need to say goodbye to Keurig :-)

    I am doing well! The gas is the very worst part by far! Other than that the ice packs and walking do help.
    I can't show it because they have me so doped up.... I am so very excited!
    Thank you for asking!

    After 3 weeks of being sleeved, especially if you have a lot to lose, start going to the gym IMMEDIATELY. You DON'T have to start cardio but you DHOULD start a weight training regimen. This will greatly assist in the saggy and loose skin problem. TRUST ME. As a trainer, one of my clients is 44 years old and weighed 402 lbs. He had the sleeve almost a year and change now and I realized after losing all that weight he has little to no loose or saggy skin... He weighs 202 right now and looks like a trainer himself.
    I understand some drs may tell u to wait a little longer but three weeks is the best time to start! Even if it's light training every bit helps because your body will notice it before you do.

    Most gyms also have employees that will walk through all of the equipment and how it works, if you can't spring for a trainer. Sometimes asking is the hard part. I have been going to my gym for 3 years and had no idea how to work some of the equipment. A guy took half an hour and went through everything throughly.
    Then when I got a trainer she was impressed I knew how to work everything haha.
