    LauraM5 got a reaction from icon23 in January sleevers are youd ready?   
    Hi January Sleevers! I am one year today and I want to tell you, YOU CAN DO IT!! I wouldn't change a thing. The first few weeks are the hardest. Once you are on regular food, it gets easier. Keep walking and sipping Water right after surgery. It will help with the gas. Once home, walk, walk, walk!!
    Remember!! YOU CAN DO IT!! Have faith in yourself!!
    Inbox me if you all have any questions! I will be happy to support all of you in any way!!

    May you could add an option for none as most people do not gain weight. I have gained none. It does fluctuate 2 pounds close to the mentrual period as normal but it goes away in a couple of days.

    LauraM5 reacted to carolina girl in 18 months later...no regrets!   
    I know there are many of you who wonder "is this the right thing for me?" Some of you are a little scared (as I was), some of you wonder "will this work for me?" or "can I do this?". I'm here to tell you, don't be scared...it will work (if you follow the rules!!!) and YES, you can do this!!! The sleeve has been a wonderful tool. Without it I know I would have never lost the weight and I would probably be heavier than I was back then. I know I would be in worse health, more depressed and still hiding at home instead of enjoying my life. I may be one of the "lucky ones" who really hasn't had any problems, I don't get hungry, and I have only continued to improve my quality of life. I still sometimes wonder..."When will this be over... like so many times before when I have lost weight and gained it back", when I find myself thinking this I immediately remind myself that NEVER again, thanks to my sleeve, will I go back to that dark place!!! I have attached my before and after pictures, looking at before and afters always helped me when I was trying to decide "to sleeve or not to sleeve".

    So the holidays are officially over an I'm going to give little miss diva's boot camp a try. This will be my first time trying it. All are welcome to join. I will try and post my updates here.
    So for Breakfast I'm having 2 boiled egg whites with a small turkey sausage.
    lunch I'm having turkey breast with green giant broccoli and cheese 40 calorie tray.
    dinner will be the same as lunch.
    I'm sure the true challenge will be trying to get in a gallon of Water.< /p>
