Have never had so much tech probs as I have had with this laptop and new printer. The two would not communicate for about a week and a half. Finally got printing activity back and the scanning feature, too--super neat stuff! Naturally, the HP tech tried selling me a new unit--I want a new one later, but as long as I can "make do" with this laptop it will be OK. My PC has some intermediate viruses on some files, but the security software I am using this year is making it harder to get to s...

This morning I am 42.5 pounds lighter! Friday was my 4th month postop anniversary! Feeling good! Went to my cardiologist last Wed and he was super happy with my progress! I get to see him in a year! I love that kind of medicine! This sleeve is a real tool for weight loss, and I don't miss all the terrible stuff I was consuming--caffeine, sodas, sugars, gluten,lactose. Since I eliminated those things or reduced my consumption of them, my health is much bett...

Feeling good! Gosh, I am 15 weeks postop now--40 pounds gone! I am trying to go below 180 by my birthday on Oct 16th that is 3 weeks away. Over the weekend, I got all of my smaller clothes out, tried them one, and laundered them, so now I have a wardrobe again! Yes, most of those things fit me--discovered I am between sizes 16-18 mostly. Another 10-15 pounds off, I should be wearing the 12-14s in nothing flat! It feels great!

13 weeks postop. 39.5 lost--another 40 to goal. Feeling good, but some foods I don't tolerate well. Going to start walking tomorrow.

Spent some time in ER for an infection last evening. Lucky all is great with my surgery! Dr said I picked up some bug, but was really sick! Glad to be feeling much better! Taking antibiotics now. Almost 40 pounds down and will be postop 3 mos soon.

I am BUMMED!! Surgeon is leaving the state!!

2 months postop. 35 pounds gone! Working in the 180s. Baggy clothes, Looking for work. Substitute teaching in about 3 weeks. Starting graduate school next week. Amazing sleeve! Life is great, indeed!

Two months postop--35 pounds gone and am in the 180s. Clothes are baggy. I am eating semisolids quite well, but will rely on protein shakes for my lifetime--I love them! My grad school classes start next week, and in 3 weeks I will be returning to substitute teaching if I don't get permanent work right away. I feel like my life is renewed and that I can tackle most things with the vigor and savvy necessary. I feel very well, and am so glad I had surgery. This Sleeve is awesome!!

I went to the doctor for my checkup. I have lost 30.5pounds now. He was very pleased with my progress. Found out I was not taking enough vitamins tho. Gotta repent on that ! Also looking to exercise once the heat leaves. I am excited--my wardrobe is baggy, baggy! I am very well and beginning to look well. Looking forward to returning to work the end of this month. Hoping all sleevers are doing well!!

Gee, I am 2 months postop. Going to see the doctor Wed morning. Weight loss today is 32.5 pounds! I am just shy of the 180s at 190.5!! Hooray!!!

Pruned 4 large bushes in my front yard this morning! Was delighted to see my weight at 193.5!! 29.5 loss!! Goal=be at 30 pound loss by Wed., 8/3. That is my appt with the doctor for check up.

2 goals by next Wed.: Officially hit 30 pound loss, and get to 180s. I want to at least meet the first goal when I see my dr. Been hungry.

Happy to report that I am 4 weeks postop now. Today was my check with the dr. I have lost 27.5 pounds now!! Gotta beef up exercise, but am active in and about my house. The incisions are almost gone and healing nicely. I get to see the dr again in Aug. Starting to eat solids, and dr. says no grazing or piecing meals!!! He fears that would wreck my sleeve. So, I am doing all of my supplements, liquids, and eating at appropriate times. I am really feeling swell!!!

Looking forward to losing more weight. Been a little stall, but I am working to get all the needed nutrition in each day. The incisions are almost completely healed now. Amazing!! I have lost 26 pounds.

Saturday night and terribly hot outside. Doing well with recovery from surgery--26 pounds gone, and below 200!! WoooHOO!!!
