I would be interested in the size 16 that you have. Let me know....thanks a bunch!

I am going thru sizes so fast...I can't keep up. Does anyone have size 16 clothes they want to pass on? Please let me know what you have. Many thanks!

I definately hoped to lose a little faster than I have, but I'm not dissapointed. I am glad I had the sleeve done and it has made it much easier to get a perspective on how much food I was eating. I've only lost 35 lbs in 9 weeks. It seems I have a stall every other week, then only lose 1 lb. I do everything by the book and it is still very slow. I have bad days occasionally and need to vent, but most days I'm positive that I will get to my goal no matter how long it takes. I also try not to compare my results with everyone else's....I'm in my 50's and won't lose the way a 20 yr. old does.

I am in need of size 18 career tops and pants. I am 5' 8" tall and 45" bust. I live in SC but would happily pay for shipping. I have size 22W tops and pants. Thank you!

This looks like a great site...thank you!

I really appreciate your post! I am also over 50 and knew having the sleeve was not going to be a "miracle cure". I've battled my weight for 30 years and have gotten so discouraged at losing at a snail's pace, just to put it right back on the minute I had a "normal" meal. I've gained weight on 1200 calorie Dr. prescribed diet!! I've learned so much about my body in the past few months, and I will have to work this sleeve like crazy to get rid of the pounds...then I will have to deal with the maintenance issue. I am eating a clean diet of mainly protein and fresh veggies with extremely low carbs and no sugar. I feel so much better knowing that I am not alone in this!

can you say jealous? :ciappa:

megannadine, I had my hubby take my first picture today! I have always had trouble "seeing" any weight loss that I've had, so this should help my mental picture of myself as I start shrinking.

Thank you for sharing your story! All of the things that have changed for the better is inspirational. I will have my sleeve done next month and can hardly wait to be where you are! Congratulations!

I am scheduled for Dec. 8 with Dr. Ramos-Kelly. My kids are grown and live out of state, so they won't be home for the holidays this year, so I will start my pre-op diet the day after Thanksgiving...I think this will be the most wonderful Christmas present I have ever received

Good Luck and a speedy recovery to you! My surgery is next month and I sure know all the emotions you are experiencing! Keep me posted

Hi Dec sleevers! My date is Dec 8 with Dr. Ramos-Kelly in Tijuana. Babigirl, I start my diet Nov 25 too! I've actually started to incorporate more Protein and less carbs into my diet and transition into the liquid diet. So excited to start my "new life" as a thin, healthy person!

Hey all...my name is SClady on there. Please add me too. I get sleeved Dec 8 and need all the help and advice after my surgery. Thanks, Dee

Wow is all I can say! You should be very proud of your hard work! :biggrin5:

Thank you for sharing your story! Go Gamecocks!!
