Hi- don't sound so negative. Not everyone loses their weight over night. You are doing great. I have been a slower weight lost person I have lost about 70lbs since 12-17-12 but I don't put myself down. I finished my master program and now I'm starting to work out but I still struggle with the lack that everyone seems to have lost more weight than me but I constantly tell myself I'm 70 lbs lighter than a year ago and I have about 30 more lbs to go so 2014 that will be my focus. Love yourself for all your accomplishments, track your food intake and get walking regardless of where you work. Hand in there and you will get to your goal in a year or two. Best of luck and determination is my inspiration.

Today is my 1 year sleeversary! Time has past so quickly, this time last year I was a nervous wreck. I am so thankful for the 75lbs gone forever now just another 50 more for me to hit my personal weight loss goal by summer 2014

Hey,
Sleeved Nov 2012.
SW 303
CW 202
About 22 pounds away from goal.

Feeling great today
New pic 3 months out

I just RAN for a 45 minutes without dying. PROGRESS!...lol.

I am going to be brutally honest here, I have been sabotaging myself lately. I have been eating carbs and not loosing any weight...
My old habits are back, and I can kick myself in the booty. I need to get back on track, and maybe start with liquids again, to jump start my wt. loss and to get me off this carb kick.
I need to get at the root of this issue.
Thanks for letting me vent.

So today I decided to go back to my 2-3 month basics since the changes I have made over the last few weeks have been working against me I have been up and down for the last 2 weeks and its my own fault I have been grazing and increasing my calories and including carbs and since I see thats not working it time to go back to what was working. this would be okay if I was at goal but since I am not and I want to continue to loose weight i need to stick to the plan that worked. I now know how to maintain the weight once I get to goal but this lesson is not meant for now so i need to get back on track so as of today I am making changes to get these last few pounds off before I mess my own progress up. *Taking my own advice* Wish me luck sleevers! I WILL REACH GOAL EVEN IF IT KILLS ME!

OP, what on earth are you talking about? You are already beautiful!! And, now thanks to your decision to have this surgery, you will be healthier and live a longer, better life. Congratulations!

Today is my one year surgiversary!

3 months post op in a few days. Down 45 lbs and feeling great!

I took a new pic today after I came in from the gym, the first pic is the night before surgery, I'm down 120 lbs in 10 months, I feel great, like a new person! Only 37 lbs to goal!

Just wanted to share this. Today i was at the store and they had catfish nuggets on sale so i bought a package of them. We can't eat fried so i went online and found this recipe i just tried and it was excellent. It's baked not fried and there is no breading. i doubled the amount of catfish as i was making it for my wife too (she was sleeved the week after me) but i kept the rest the same. I also used can't believe it's not butter and i realize you can probably get away with 2 or 3oz as with the lemon juice and dry white wine there is plenty of sauce for 4 nuggets. i didn't use salt or cilantro. it was really good and flavorful and depending on oven 12 minutes was perfect for mine it came out tender falling off the fork good. play with it make your own but where i got it from it got real good reviews so i tried it and i wasn't disappointed.
Enjoy
Ingredients
2 (7 to 8-ounce) catfish fillets
4 ounces butter
4 ounces dry white wine
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon finely chopped garlic
1 teaspoon chopped cilantro
Salt to taste
Pepper to taste
Paprika
Directions
Season fish with salt and pepper. Place fish in oval casserole dish. Melt 4 ounces butter in small sauce pan. Add wine and remaining ingredients, except the paprika. Simmer about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and spoon over fish. Now sprinkle paprika over fish. Bake fish in 375 degree oven for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the fish is done.

Here is mine--- day 1 and then 1 year

5 months out and I still struggle!
But at this point it doesn't hurt, it just goes by to quickly. If I eat to fast I don't even get the satisfaction of enjoying the meal before I'm done then I'm left with a "what the heck" feeling
Best advice slow down and do better than I.
