  1. The injections were on my forehead, scalp, neck and back of my head.
  2. It was done by my Neurologist. My head feels like a million pound bowling ball. My neck and shoulder hurt pretty bad and it's been 10 day.
  3. I just had my first round of Botox a week ago and am very sore on the left side of my shoulder and upper back. Is this normal? How long does it last?
  4. It was pretty exciting. It was a lady I didn't even know. She wished me a Happy Mother's Day IF I had kids. I told her I had 5 and she said. "How do you stay so skinny". Aaaah!! If she only knew!! Lol
  5. This lady called me SKINNY!! I hugged her. She thought I was NUTS!!
  6. I'm 4 months out and vomited A LOT the first month up to 6 weeks. A lot of it was learning how much I could eat and what things I couldn't tolerate. It DOES get better.
  7. Thanks! I have 5 children So the pic is hiding the stretch marks and the pants are covering my lower ab pouch. As far as a diet, I'm not trying to recruit any lectures but I pretty much eat what I want in small portions. Tonight for dinner, for example, I had 1 small thin crust piece of pizza. My sleeve does a really great job. I do drink LOTS of water. I just concentrate on portions and have gotten pretty good at determining how much I can eat.
  8. Thank you!! I'm so blessed!! I've had no complications and to be honest I've only worked out once. I know it's not ideal but I guess we're all different. It's been a long time since I've liked what I see in the mirror. If I can do this ANYONE can.
  9. my starting weight was 246 and I'm 4' 11" tall.
  10. Don't mind the messy teenagers room!! UGH
  11. Can I just share how happy I am!!?? I'm 4 months out, 71 lbs down and 29 to goal. My husband and I could barely keep our hands off eachother before and now....OH MY GOODNESS! (Even after all these years and 5 kids) I've always been a positive happy person but now I'm that way on the inside AND outside. I feel so incredibly blessed. Thank you, Dr Michelson and NWWL for giving me back my youth and energy and body. Like I've heard hundreds of times......I only wish I would have done it sooner.
  12. I'm 4 months out and don't get hungry either. I also rarely have cravings. I do miss indulging a big but hate the way it makes me feel so it stops me from even considering it. I love my sleeve.
  13. I took some laxatives at 8 weeks because I was pretty "stopped up" and it was AWFUL!!!!!!!! Horribly painful and I even ended up vomiting. NEVER again
  14. Buying some super cute Victoria Secret yoga pants and feeling pretty stink'n cute In them
  15. I am 4 months out and ice cream/frozen yogurt is one of the few things I can not tolerate. It makes me feel awful!!!!
  16. I have Horrible migraines including vision lose and vomiting. I am 4 months out and they seem to have gotten worse. Neurologist thinks its because of the low calories but I still wouldn't change a thing. I have to go to my PCP and get shot when I can't control the migraines but on 5/2 I'm having my first Botox injections and PRAYING it makes a difference. The way I see it, I had the migraines before and at least I'm happy and healthier.....I would do it again an again and again even with the increased migraines.
  17. I guess I'm the "bad girl" of the bunch. I do drink coffee every day. I used to drink a venti everyday and now I drink a tall. It's all I have room for but I do enjoy every sip. I love my coffee and I've done very well. Sleeved on 12/13 at 246 and I'm at 185.1 this morning.
  18. Anytime I eat bread I feel like I swallowed a brick so I pretty much stay away from it. It's weird how our tastes change because that was one thing I thought I could never live without and really I could care less about it. Did I mention how much I adore my sleeve!!!!!
  19. Congrats!! You look GOEGEOUS
  20. I'm squishy too but I admit I've not worked out a bit. My starting weight was 246 and this morning I was 183. (Yes, I'm a spaz and weigh daily) I really should work out but I really don't want to. Just being honest. I work 10 hours a day and I'm a Mommy of 5 and wife and I also have a few other excuses I can pull out of the air. Lol. I'm sure it would make a difference.
