Well congrats to you and hopefully the sleeve will help you stay at your goal weight! I wish I could have done it without the sleeve, but I always gained it back... Darn southern food! Hopefully now I will be able to get to a healthy weight that I have never seen.

I am not judging anyone because in the end I truly don't care if a person tells the truth or if they do not because it is their preference. And I am thinking with the overweight person in mind. Am I judging anyone, no, but I am giving my opinion on how that could be misleading. So please miss me with your last statement.

Regardless of how an individual chooses to cope with what they are saying, it is still a lie... Lying by omission. Had you not had your tool, do any of us think we would have dropped that amount of weight in such a short time... NO! I wouldn't have been to survive on 400, 600, 800 calorie diet. It is your choice whether you choose to share because it is your biz, but I guarantee you that if most of those individuals who choose to omit their "tool" lost weight the conventional way, you wouldn't be able to shut them up! So why play down the sleeve, as if you are doing it by yourself. If you don't want to disclose the full truth, don't say anything. At least you would not be setting someone up whose trying to lose a significant amount of weight up for failure. Just my thoughts.

There is a thread on here about stalls... Something like going back to basics that lilmissdiva started... Search for that, it seems to help out a lot of people. Congrats on your weightloss so far and you look great! Best wishes!

Just do a little research on these boards and the Internet, you will see that those areas are safe. No difference to the crime and such in the US.

I know that you aren't interested in going out of the country and neither was I until I started doing my research about going to MX. I would say don't limit yourself because you would be surprised at how skilled those surgeons are, especially since they perform the more frequently.

That is amazing, you are doing great! What was your starting weight?

And your workout routine? Promise this is my last question.
