  1. I've heard the heavier you are the faster you lose. Not a scientific fact, but it seems this way...
  2. Yea, you'll be okay and be on your way to a happier healthier life!!!
  3. Odds are you'll be successful. It works!!!
  4. I've lost 58 lbs since Aug 28th 2012. Started out at 186 and now am 128... Goal is 125...
  5. You're going to be so THRILLED when you start losing! I'm 3 lbs from goal and am ecstatic. So glad I was sleeved Aug. 28th 2012!
  6. My heating pad was a great comfort it helps to ease gas pains....Loose clothes, slip on shoes...
  7. You look awesome! I think some of us lose too fast. You've lost at a good rate...
  8. Im 5 mo out and have went from 186 to 128lbs. 58 lbs lost...
  9. My doc never said this. Slow and steady is probably better, but it's not my style either and it's not how i've done this. I've lost 58 lbs in 4 1/2 months out from surgery...
  10. I stalled pretty regularly until 3 months out then started losing like crazy...My boss experienced the same thing...
  11. I had the very same feeling i took over the counter prilosec and it helped...Felt like my stomache was trying to eat itself!
  12. This is totally normal. Can have good days and bad days for a while. Get your water/fluids, and protein in...
  13. Yep, I went through the same emotions. It just keeps getting better from here on out... I'm 5 months out and each day is better than the recent...I feel fortunate that I was able to have this surgery... I don't regret it for one minute...Glad you're feeling the same...
  14. That's an awesome amount! I was sleeved Aug.28th and have lost 59lbs. I am 2 lbs from my goal weight. YAY for us!

    You're an inspiration to all of us. Thanks for your post...
  16. I have a problem wanting to buy anything i see that I like! I've bought myself many christmas gifts LOL! I go shopping for the family tomorrow... It does feel good to buy cute clothes. I run around the house all duded up ( no money left to go anywhere in my new clothes)LOL!
  17. I guess the doc checked your thyroid? Just a thought... I started eating more and came out of a stall at three months and have been losing pretty steadily...
  18. Wow 40 staples is a lot! Glad you're feeling better!
  19. I was sleeved in Tj. and the girl ahead of me in surgery only weighed 165lbs...But she was very short and looked to weigh more...
  20. That may be my problem. I have to push myself to get enough liquids. I'll keep that in mind...
  21. Hope all is okay and you're feeling better asap...
