You are doing great! I remember hitting that dreadful 1st stall. I couldn't believe I could eat so little and stall for two weeks. Then one morning I got on the scale and I had lost 4 pounds over night! Your weight-loss journey is a process that is difficult to understand, but keep up the good work. It will be off before you know it. Best wishes on your journey.

Congratulations! Well done!

I had surgery June 14, 2011. I've lost 73 pounds. I love this sleeve!

I'm most thankful for what I don't have this year that I had last year--I'm down 74 pounds since June 15th and I don't have as much physical pain as I had last year.

Congratulations! I didn't have my sleeve in Mexico but I do visit there often. Everyone I meet is helpful and kind--I've never had a problem.

Excellent! Thanks

Thank you for your kind words. I've decided to lose another 20 pounds (I think). I'll still be just above the BMI charts, but I believe those are flawed anyway. Yes, It had only been 4 months when I posted those pics. I love the sleeve. It has changed my life forever. I

You look great! Congratulations. Your arms look good too. That is where I am having the most saggy skin.

I wasn't going to tell but sometimes I was so excited I couldn't hold it in! Other times people figured it out on their own and asked. It's difficult to hide what is going on when you are only eating 2 or less ounces at dinner.

Congratulations on the success you've already had and on your engagement. You can do this. You did it before and you can again. I didn't lose anything last week because I ate carbs all week, but today I had to get back on the train and focus on eating Protein. There's not a person I know who hasn't fallen off for a period of time whether it was one week or one year. The important thing is to get back on and with the sleeve I believe it is easier. Good luck. Keep us posted.

Yes I would have it again and I would encourage others to do so too. I feel healthier than I have in years. I was on a plane yesterday and didn't feel that I was crowding those around me. This morning a waitress asked my husband if he wanted to change places with me because I had more room in a booth and he had the tighter side. The list goes on, but the most important reason is because I feel healthier. I enjoy life more when I feel well.

Thank you.

Well said! Thanks for the advice. I'm short of the BMI charts too and that is where the confusion comes in. I may just ignore the charts.

Tomorrow is my four-month anniversary and while I plan on losing more weight, I'm perfectly happy where I am. I can't believe the change in only 4 months! Here's the thing: My husband and friends are telling me to slow down on the weight loss. I still have 25 pounds to goal, but they are telling me I'm fine where I am. I'm large boned (really) so I don't really know where to be. I do know that my face looks better when I have a little extra weight. I feel great and my BP is now low/normal. Goodness! How do I know where to stop?
