I have been doing good. Progress has been pretty steady. Surgery was 3 months ago, I'm down 30 lbs since. 50 lbs total. I think the only struggle I have now is taking my vitamins. I keep them on my desk at work and still forget to take them! LOL! I have the memory of an old lady! How have you been doing???

Awesome progress!!!

This is my Lucy Lou!!! I ❤ her

Totally unfair that you guys get "growth" and us ladies lose our "ladies" almost completely! HA!!!!!

Ohhhhhhh Lord! HA!

(@fatrosie)You look AMAZING!!! I agree... This has not been an easy journey, by any means... But I sure does feel nice to fit back into my old clothes!

Having it around my wrist was one of the benefits for me. I like to wear bracelets and thought it would be completely comfortable. Guess Ill have to research some more before I decide. I've ears that the Polar T4 was a good option for heart rate/calorie counting, which I think I'm more specific towards rather than the pedometer end of it all.

Our local Best Buy has them in stock! I have been waiting to buy mine because I keep heading reviews of inaccuracies in the pedometer. That it counts any movement from your wrist as a "step". I type all day for work, and Im concerned that it could cause some major miscalculations in my progress.

Here is my before and "current"... I won't say "after" because I'm still in the process of transforming! I'm 3 months post op today, and down 30 since surgery, with a total of 52 lbs gone total!

Sleeved Feb 26... 11 weeks today! Down 28 lbs since surgery and a total of 50 since I started my journey in December... I have been at the same weight for over a week and a half ( I won't call it a "stall" because it hasn't been that long of a pause)... But it's been long enough to getting attention. I think there is still a part of me that is thinking this is just like all the other diets and that I have lost my weight that I was going to lose and it's done. I have gone from a size 20 womens to a size 16 misses, and yet to get rid of a single article of clothing! I'm too afraid that I will need them again!!! So mentally screwed up from the years of yo-yo dieting...

Hang in there! The first two weeks were the worse for me. After that passed, each week got easier. I'm 9 weeks out and life seems back to normal (minus the food)... I still go through bouts of missing certain things, but nothing that I would consider trading my new tummy for.

I look at it this way... This is our "new" life... It's LIFELONG... If you have a splurge now and again AND HAVE THE CONTOL to keep it at a rare occurrence, I see nothing wrong with that... Some people go hardcore and live that way forever. Some people embarrass their weight loss and learn to look at food in a different way than they did before. I am choosing to educate myself about food and be mindful of my intake. Does that mean I will never have "bad" food or indulge in a few bites of unhealthy food??? Nope, I have no intentions of depriving myself of something that I want (with in reason). I think this first year is my time to take advantage of my weight loss and really work at getting myself fit. I personally have rare cravings for food that I shouldn't have... But I have allowed myself a bite of chocolate... And a few bites of thin crust ham pizza... I'm still losing weight and feel fine. I think it's really a PERSONAL opinion as to how you want to handle your "diet" for your life. We all had this surgery for a reason, we all value the wonders of our sleeves!!!

I'm 7 weeks post op.... And I can say without a doubt, that I would do this again! While my journey has not been "easy", it has been worth it! I'm losing weight at a steady pace and I feel more alive than ever. I have so much more energy and feel that I can do anything that I set my mind to. I am PRO-SLEEVE!!!

My first "meal" was an order of refried beans added ground beef from Taco Bell! The serving lasted me for 3 meals! Loved every bite of it!!!

Anticipation is the worse!!! Prayers are with you. Keep us posted..

HA!!! They even hang flyers up in the main workout areas about the upcoming pizza/bagel days. I have asked them on Facebook why they have these events, and no one has ever responded. Idk... I know that I personally wouldn't be caught dead chowin down in pizza or bagels at the gym... (Not that I could now, even if I wanted too).
