Ok for those of you that don't like shakes as I can't stand them Unjury is awesome! They have one with no flavor and I mean no flavor you can put in anything, cheese sauce, chicken broth. All have 21g Protein. Unjury.com and they have sample packs for $1.99 there stuff isn't cheap but if your like me and have wasted a ton of $ looking for that right one this stuff is worth it. Check out the site and test it for yourself

I am from terrell tx and i just sent all my information to my insurance... . Now i am just waiting for a.surgery date

Hello all!
I will be sleeved November 29th at Wise Regional by Dr. D. Kim,
3rd day in preop, have lost 7 lbs... got another 97lbs to go
Good luck to all, I love reading success stories!

I always thought I was "big-boned" too. That is what everyone told me and that is what I thought too! I am only 5'3" and always wore a size 8.5-9 shoe size. Now that I have lost the weight, have gotten down to a weight I never even thought possible, everyone tells me how tiny I am!! I now wear a size 4/6, small or x-small tops and had to have my ring sized down to a size 6.5! You will be surprised what kind of thin person is in there!!

Start....
Weight 228
Height 5'0"
Clothing size 18/20
Shoe size 8
Current
Weight 121
Height 5'0"
Clothing size 4
Shoe size 7
Goal
Weight 110
Height 5'0"
Clothing size 0 or 2

Height 5'3"
Highest Weight 260ibs, size 20/22 pants and 1x-2x tops
Surgery Weight 221.5lbs, size 18/20 and 1x tops
Current weight, 138lbs, size 4/6 pant, xs/s tops
I was a slower loser, it took me 18 months to reach my goal of 140lbs, and now I have dropped a little below! And it is true about sizes varying wildly depending on bones, muscles, etc. I wear the same size as someone I know that is almost 10lbs lighter than me!

I just put my $500 deposit down for a January 24th sleeve! I am so happy and excited!!! I hope the Mayans are wrong and the world doesn't end before I get skinny.

I used to wonder why folks get into fights and this is exactly why, she needed a swift punch in her size 4 throat :ph34r: ...smh No no, no throat punches, but I would have made her aware that her face looked like the bottom of a shoe ...no then you would be as bad as she was, so I probably would have just ignored her.

I just had my 2 month follow up and the numbers shocked me! I am down 56 pounds from day of surgery. I guess my scale at home says I weigh more than the Dr's office. That is a good thing I am feeling amazing!! I have a long way to go still.. I did a side by side comparison from the morning of surgery and from this morning and it is the first time I really am seeing a huge difference in myself!
Pic is attached
Grey hoodie is morning of and dress is this morning, of course you will know which one is which LoL Just had to share, when you are finally feeling this good its fun to share with others that understand!!!

Thank you Grammy! I soooo love all of your posts. (Ps....You're my Grammy in my head. LOL)

1. To say that I hit onderland this week!
2. That my hubby can wrap his arms around me and actually overlap his hands!
3. That for the first time in my adult life I could walk into Victoria secret and buy a bra!!! ( it's awesome btw!)
4. I can cross my legs while sitting like a lady.
5. I can actually wrap the towel around me when I get out of the shower lol
There are sooo many more but I thought this would be an amazing thread for the pre sleevers to read to help motivate them!! Help me out and add some more:)

So glad it went well sending hugs and prayers for fast recovery

I hope my fellow November sleevers are doing well!!!
I'm doing much better today (day 6 post op). Still have a little incision pain, but not horrible.
Life is looking up!
I've decided to start a blog to chronicle my adventures with my VSG, so I thought I'd share it with you all...in case anyone is interested.

Hey yall I'm Deana 27 (28 Nov 13th) from East Texas and I got approved on Halloween!! Surgery date is November 26 2012 and I can't wait! Here's a little about me. I was lucky enough to marry my first crush we didn't see each other for 10 years but found our way back to each other and have been together for almost 8 years now. It's weird because he is a very good looking man and fit so it will be nice to match him (if that makes sense lol) We have two kids together Kenneth Jr and Sofia Marie and I also have two amazing step kids Jordyn and Sammy who we are in the process of trying to get custody of. Can't wait to start this new chapter of my life to be able to run after my kids and play with them I just can't wait. I'll keep this post kinda short and sweet for now and will be back when I start my pre op diet and post pics when I'm post op

Hey guys,
Just wanted to share some pics, cuz we all love it when others share pics! . This is my first time sharing photos, aside from my avatar. I'm 9 months out of surgery as of yesterday, and initially, I was having my hubby take pictures every month. I kinda fell off over the summer, but finally remembered to have him snap a few this morning. I cried a little when I put the 'before' and 'after' side by side. I was self pay, and I would do it again in a heartbeat. Rejoicing over here!! Woot!
p.s. not sure if I'm doing this right, so hopefully there are pictures here!
