I did! Woke up with it and thought "ahh crap!" But honestly it was nice not having to get up and go to the bathroom all the time those first 2 days, with all the fluid they pumped in me if be getting up every 5 minutes! It wasn't at all uncomfortable, even when the nurse took it out, I didn't feel anything!

Crossing my legs! Love that!! Also I decided to run for the first time since before surgery 6 months ago just to see how far I could get before I had to stop and boom! Went way further than I had anticipated! Loving my sleeve!

*Knock on wood* hope they don't go!

I'm down 84 pounds so far and still in the same cup size! Started at a 44DDD currently a 36/38DDD but I have noticed that they are a lot less full

Thank you! That was probably the first time I really said "OK see? You are shrinking, these used to be tight!"

I've been afraid to try for fear of them just fitting loose but was pleasantly surprised! 5 months, 82 lbs total!

I see such mixed opinions on this! I have always been under the impression that we could not have carbonation because the gas bubbles will expand and possibly stretch your stomach... But I have seen some people say they drink things like carbonated water daily with no problems with stretching. So is it just that we should stay away from sugary carbonated sodas because of the empty calories or because it will truly stretch out our stomachs?

You look great!! And younger!!

Hips and shoulders leaned out first! Then I've been losing just about everywhere pretty evenly except I haven't really lost in my boobs yet

Beautiful before, beautiful after! You look great!! You can tell in the smile how happy you are!

Thanks you all! A lot of pictures on here are what helped me make the decision to do this and it's the best thing I've ever done! Good luck to everyone on their journeys
