  1. Amazing transformation! Congrats!
  2. We started out at about the same weight. The liquid days went by pretty fast but I had head hunger. I love my sleeve and have not regretted it one iota! \
  3. You look awesome! Not sure how that figures in lbs but the picture is proof of the great job you've done! Congrats! I am about a third of the way to my goal. My next mini goal is 12 lbs away...100 lbs gone!!! Can't wait!
  4. Thanks for the info. I need to get back on track with my exercise. I would love to join a gym with a pool!
  5. I am from Alabama and we call it pepper sauce. I just by a jar of sliced jalapenos that's perserved in vinegar and eat it on greens, pinto Beans and in chicken stew and Soups. I also love Frank's Hot Sauce on everything else...LOL! Corn bread soaks it all up well!
  6. I get hungry! I usually eat something small every two or three hours. The first month or two I didn't but I get very hungry at times...I just eat something small and I am satisfied.
  7. I don't measure anything except Cereal. I usually just put a teaspoon of what I am going to eat on my plate. I had turkey, dressing, cranberry sauce, green Beans and whole wheat mac and cheese. I had about a teaspoon of each and only ate about half. I made a buffalo chicken ball and had some of it at dinner with a 3 small whole wheat crackers. I made a pumpkin cheesecake...made with stevia..it was awesome. I had about 3 teaspoons of it for desert. I also gave the leftovers to my kids to take home. I made a chocolate pie with real sugar (my kids favorite). I had a bite of it and sent it home with them. I love going out to eat and feeling full, taking the leftovers home and eating the for the next 2 meals! That my favorite thing about the sleeve is feeling satisfied after a few bites.
  8. You look awesome! Congratulations! I will be glad when I hit the 100 lb mark and get to onderland!!!
  9. My 6 month anniversary was Dec. 25 and I am down 86 lbs.. losing very slow about 4 lbs a month at this rate I won't reach my goal for another year...hopefully this weight loss will speed up soon!
  10. I also like my numbers today....I like the numbers 8 & 5!
  11. I am glad I had the sleeve...my sister had the RYX and had lots of complications...now she is gaining weight back. I love my sleeve. I am losing slow now but slow is better than not at all or gaining. I had a goal of 200 by Christmas but I won't hit it...but I am still losing during all the Holiday eating...so woot woot!!
  12. You look awesome! I have lost 85 lbs and wanted to be down 100 by Christmas but that is not happening. I am losing very slow now.
  13. Can you give me the link to your Youtube video?
  14. Wished I had done it sooner!
  15. I try to measure and count out everything to stay on goal! I could eat small bad things all day but I have to keep reminding myself what I looked like and how great I feel now. It's not easy and never will be because I love food and I love to eat but I really LOVE being thinner. I still have a ways to go and I needed this post! Thanks!

  17. All of you are looking sooo awesome!
  18. I have been on a stall for 9 days and before that it was 2 weeks. I kept going up and down with the same 2 lbs and finally today (after 2 birthday parties this weekend) I am down 2 more lbs. I am not sure how this happens but I am just glad it does! I had candy, cookies and cake this weekend (not in large quantities).
  19. I would like to see pictures too please. lynnese.schrimsher@gmail.com Thanks sooo much!
  20. I understand just how you feel. I have been on a stall for weeks and keep gaining and losing the same 2 lbs. I guess I need to increase my exercise. I am eating around 800 calories a day and I need to readjust my goals because I don't think at this pace they are attainable. I wanted to be at 200 by Christmas but I am 26 lbs away and don't believe I can lose that much. I am happy with what I have lost but have really slowed down!
  21. My surgeon told me at my 3 month check up it is now ok to take pills! But your surgeon may not agree...just give them a cal!
  22. I was sleeved 6/15 and I have lost 53 lbs since surgery and 76 total. I have been the same weight for almost 2 weeks. I hate stalling. My goal is to be down down to 200 by Christmas. I don't believe I will make it but I am going to try. If I keep stalling I will never get under 220. Thanks for all the encouragement I get reading your posts and say a pray I make my goal. I have been horrified this wouldn't work since I had the lapband first and it was a total failure!
