I think the first month or two is the hardest. I am almost 6 months out and things are much better. I'm losing about 3 pounds a week and it adds up quick. Keep your head up, it will get easier.

I have 14lbs to reach 'Onderland'. There's a chance I won't be around to enjoy it, as I am sure I will pass out when that needle reads 199 or less!!!

I saw my collar bones last week too, I was so excited I was showing them to everyone....they looked at me like I was crazy.

Hello I just joined this site. I was sleeved on July 23 2012. My start weight was 382 and my weight as of this morning ( we all become obsessed with the scale!) is 262.7. I am always eager to talk to others that have had the sleeve as well. I am taking my Biotin because my hair did start to fall out. I am starting to work out more since I don't want to stall. I find meat, beef and pork heavy, does anyone else? I stay away from the meat because I feel like I swallowed a brick lol. I started eating more fish and tofu to get the Protein in. I am awful with the Protein Shakes but I try in other ways. I am so happy to see so many great results post sleeve and most important so many people happy with the life changing experience!

I'm wondering about the wrinkles I don't even know I have because they are all fluffed up and spread out with extra face fat. I'm afraid I'll look like a rumpled paper bag.

My concern is that I will inadvertently become a conceited d-bag. Ugh. It happened to someone I know that has a lap band.

Drew Carey as an example. He looked better fat.

I am four months out. I didn't start trying to eat pancakes till month three. I can barely eat half of a small one. And I put sugar free Syrup on it. I don't eat them often. I dont stay away from carbs. I go with the everything in moderation attitude and I am doing well!

I think a lot of folks use mobile apps, it's harder to look at and change profiles

First let me start off by saying that I do not condone drug use of any kind. I hear you saying that he's changed and left the drug usage alone however he still smokes weed? Isn't weed considered a drug? In all actuality that would mean he's still on drugs, right? I can only assume that this must mean he was doing some harder drugs at one time. How will you feel about him doing this around your baby once you guys do manage to conceive again, because If he's ready for a family, he has to ask himself if the marijuana usage is more important to him than you. Second, let me say that I try to never tell a married person to leave their spouse. Many people will have various opinions, but the vows you made were for "better or for worse" and I do believe that people can change if they want to. You said that he changed and left the other drugs alone, so I have to believe that he could also leave the marijuana alone. Living with others can place a strain on a marriage. Especially if your family feels compelled to comment on things going on between you guys. But just being totally honest with you, he sounds very immature and a bit controlling if he doesn't want you to spend time with your family, hell you're living with them! How could you possibly not spend time with them? And he's arguing with you cause he can't smoke weed. He shouldn't want to smoke weed in your parent's house out of respect for them and their property! I'm sure he knows that they would not approve. I'm sure he does feel trapped. Hopefully you guys can get your own place sometime soon. Sit your husband down when the two of you can talk rationally and explain to him how you feel. Listen to his concerns and let him know that you are dedicated to this marriage 100%. Explain to him that you understand that he may feel trapped, but you appreciate him making this effort to make the best out of your living situation. Most men need to feel needed. Maybe he feels as if you don't need him since you're with your family now. Mostly explain to him that you don't want to keep argueing. Sometimes in the heat of an arguement, it's best to say "Baby, I love you, but I don't want to keep argueing with you right now." and walk away and give both of you time to calm down. Once you've stepped back, you can sometimes look at things better and think rationally. I pray things get better, because right now you should be focused on recovery. Good luck and God bless.

Exactly, for me, moderation means not denying myself of the things I love. I love chips. I used to eat a whole bag. Now, I am happy with a one ounce serving of fat free Pringles sour cream and onion chips. I have them about once a week with my healthy lunch. If I go to a birthday party and everyone is eating cake, I am going to eat it too. I don't eat this stuff everyday, and when I do eat it, is a small, measured serving of it, it satisfies me, I'm happy and do not feel deprived. If I said something was off limits because it is "not healthy" and thus forbidden for the rest of my life, I would eventually end up binging on all kinds of crap. Doing it the way I do it, in moderation, works very well for me.

He subject says it all! I finally after almost 6 months broke down and shopped for new clothes! Everything I bought is a size 4!!! 97 pounds down and 21 to go to goal! I started at 228 and now weigh 131! Thank you God for VSG!

I ordered some NOW whey flavorless Protein Powder. It made everything I mixed it with smell like my old hamster cage I had when I was a kid.
