Wow, I wouldn't even know it's the same person! Great job!

Woah, I think that's the fastest weight loss I've seen. WTG!

Hey you! Good to hear from you again. I have to say the one post I remember from you had to be where you were very negative towards women when you were talking about dating. I can totally understand as I've been on the flip side of that, dating as a fat girl back in the day. I have to say though that your outlook seems to have improved so much, which is what your post is about more than anything. Have you dated post op? Any reflections on that? WTG on all that working out btw, I NEEED someone to be a b***h to me at the gym!

<<<HUG>>> You will be so happy and I've heard great things about Dr Kelly

LOW Carb! Keep your carbs below 30 a day and you will drop that weight. The SLEEVE IS THE BEST! I've never regretted it 1 second since I got it!

Congrats to you and friendships post-op have been difficult for me. You are just boarding onto the best ride of your life. Some dips but mostly you will be touching the clouds.

Wow, you are lucky to be alive! We were in a similar but not as bad accident the day before I left to get my sleeve. If I could give you any advice it would be to contact a lawyer now. I thought I was just shaken, nothing broken, and was prepared to just dealing with the other person's insurance but since I have had major back pain which I didn't know would be life long till later. Your lawyer will take care of insuring that you get the care (chiropractic/physical therapy) even long after the wreck while their insurance company will only want to pay for a small portion and then nothing after a year. In a wreck like that you surely had neck/back injuries even if their aren't any broken bones.

Which doctor are you seeing in Mexico?

LAPBAND? Not yelling at you but those are FAILBANDS! They destroy people's stomachs and have all kinds of problems and are even riskier than the VSG. If you decide to get a lapband send me the money and i'll punch ya in the gut a few times, might save ya some heartache.

I would totally do it and I'd go back to Dr Aceves too. Go for it girl!

Ewww don't wear that! Your wounds need fresh air and to heal. No reason for it!

Mmmm beer is good, just makes you burp way much more after being sleeved. I suppose that's okay for a guy but ya know ... I try to stick to vodka/cranberry

Congrats on being single! Single + skinny = FUN! Sorry you are dealing with a break up and a STALL! Ugh! The stall will go away, I stall and have since 3 months post op, for every 3 weeks out of a month. Keep your head up!

Loved your video!

Email Nina and she will give you some great ideas. I can't remember what I ate during that stage but I know I would strain a bunch of soups.

The action is what i miss. I truly adore smoking...yes it's odd but it is what it is.

Same thing happened to me. Dr campos said that it even happened to him too. He said SLOW DOWN eating!

Can't really do low carb and low cal without it having 0 nutrition. Stick to low carb and you should be good!

It will be the BEST thing you ever did. EVER! Welcome!

Let me know how it goes. I started smoking about 8 months post op...again.... going to kick it on Nov 1st...again You CAN do this!

October 8th was my 1 year sleeve anniversary so I just wanted to respond and give you all a little update. Next year at this time you will be so skinny! Keep on keeping on your plans! Almonds are great to have as are cheese. I keep a little package of almonds in my purse along with beef jerky. Stalls will happen to the previous poster. Dont' up your calories just keep on keeping on! I stall 3 weeks a month then lose about 5lbs in one week. You will get there. THIS WILL WORK!

I had some wine about 2 months out. No big deal. Don't over do it and be aware that you will get drunk fast with your sleeve. I've blacked out once and passed out another time. You have to be very careful. Both those episodes were way over 6 months out and had to do with drinking too much too fast.

Get the copper IUD. I can't have the horomones since I had a bloodclot in 03, and I think that's why they want you off the one you have now. The copper one I still have periods and sometimes they can be heavy but it's no big deal and I LURVE my IUD! BTW From what I've heard the hormones work locally not systemically meaning it doesn't get into your blood stream to affect bloodclots. My Dr didn't seem to agree but ask yours why you can't have it and mention what I just said.

Me tOO! I was cold even when I was fat but now I just freeeeze! Oh well the price of being skinny! Now I can pile on clothes and not look like the Staypuff marshmallow woman!

The kernels can get stuck in your suture or staple line which is why it's a no no until 3 months. I'd wait on popcorn and pomgrantes.
