Not everyone in the world can understand, relate, or basically cares about what you do to your stomach to lose weight. But a huge majority of people here GET IT.
I think this site saved me from completely boring the rest of my family and friends with talking about the sleeve. LOL!

I thought I was the only one doing this . I may not post comments , but I'm always in here reading everything , funny post, bickering, pictures , good advice . This is the only place where ppl relate to you . I can't talk to anyone about WLS or the sleeve they don't understand . I'm tired of hearing why do u lose it on your own . Blah blah blah I feel like saying cause I don't give a **** to have to explain to you stfu lol .. That's in my head!
Thank god for apps an technology ha !!

I just can't wait to get losing . I swear all this reading is going to speed up the process somehow . :-)

My name is Emily and I'm an addict .. Dude I got kicked out of an OA meeting for showing up with a box of doughnuts who knew.. i was just trying to be social

Yay for fart freedom. I think mine are methane strong and would cause the CDC to put a quarantine around my house. I cannot believe how much gas there is even 9 months out. Good thing I live in Snohomish so I can blame it on the cows. Try not to blast your SO in bed though or that could lead to dog house treatment. Until the dog kicks you out.

This is one of my biggest fear farting around my husband . I have never ever let gas out around him and I can't neither . He doesn't even like fart jokes ! The only one forgiven by him is our 4 year old daughter , Sorta he still gets upset about her farting . When I get surgery I'm going to have to stay with my mom for that part and let it rip with freedom .
Fart freedom.

Still have another 35 lbs to go to goal but so far so good

Omg I made it to onederland!!! 9 weeks after surgery, and I'm here. I can't believe it. I haven't seen a one as the first number in my weight, since I was in high school. I almost cried (but didn't) although I did do a happy dance all around the bedroom. My first goal accomplished. Rewarded myself with a pair of jeans that are OMG a size 14. Next, goal is to do a 5k run/walk with my daughter in June.
Here are some pics of me before and after.

i would get a little frustrated if i went up a bit since i reached the dr goal and then mine, but i started using the body composition scale at the NUT office and it tells you what u wt with out fat, how much Water wt u have and your total wt, also it give you your body fat %, even though my total wt went up i noticed that my fat % went down, and sometimes it was due to extra water wt. also i changed my exercise to cycling and have gained lot of muscle, so even though the scale went up 5 lbs, my body fat has went down, and another good thing about the body comp scale is, it give you a better PERSONAL idea of what is a good wt for you.. for me being 5 ft in ideal wt is from 120-136 lbs, but my body wt with out fat is 119 no way in hell i can weigh 120 and be healthy. I now have 22% body fat, and wear a size 2 jeans. shopping has never been so much fun!

Just want it to share with all of you some new pics. I couldn't be happier with my results, no regrets.

Look at that face...beaming with pride...posin' n' stylin'...diggin' that camera!
My friends this is such a difference for her. No more feeling bad about herself. She's got energy coming out her ears.
This is the gal I married in 1973. Her old sassy snap is back and I'm loving it!
