Ha!

True that. I asked for her autograph, but couldn't get her attention from behind her huge-normous celebrity sunglasses. Fame is so fickle, Laura-ven... be careful!

You're so close! You can do it!

Live and learn!

Nice job! I agree about the half pound. :-D

Huh. I didn't realize the difference was SO vast.

Angel- thanks for posting those! You're doing such a great job!

Yay! You look fantastic! Thanks for posting them- second time's a charm?

I didn't realize you were a November! Well, hello there! You're doing great!

Nice! That's fantastic! I'd love to see some pictures!

I'm happier than I was pre-op, that's for sure. It comes and goes. I was probably a 6 or 7 today. I wasn't sad, or unhappy, but nothing nearing ecstatic! I'm getting above that plenty, though. I think I'm just hormonal going into that 'time of the month' and feeling bloated and ugly occasionally.

I'd guess if it's a thin apron, it's skin. If when you pinch it your fingers are more than 1/2" apart, there's fat there.

My surgeon said to wait 6 weeks for vigorous exercise. I figured sex was vigorous exercise... so I waited 6 weeks. My poor husband. I hope he doesn't read this thread and realize what he missed. Whoops!

Hi November sleevers! It's been ~6 months for us! How are all of you doing? I am 5'10", started at 330, was 310 at surgery, and am now 330.5 (SO CLOSE to 100 lbs from last year!) I was sleeved November 16,2012, so this is my 6 month anniversary. I had some serious month 3 depression, but that thankfully got better and went away. I've had some hairloss, but it could be so much worse, I'm sure. I'm exercising and feeling positive. My weight loss has definitely slowed down a LOT, and some weeks the scale doesn't move, but I'm in such a better place than last year. 1st picture- 1 year ago 2nd picture- May 4th, 2013

I might suggest an abdominal pillow to go between you and the seat belt. Besides that, you should be fine (as long as you're off pain meds like everyone else said).

I like Unjury brand for protein powder to make shakes. The other brands I tried were gross or had fillers and things other than whey protein isolate as the protein source.

I would absolutely pay to see that.

SOMEday it'll come back!

My ponytail is MUCH smaller...

Ohmygosh. I'm glad I wasn't drinking anything right then. Hilarious. Hrm... maybe run it up a flagpole and see if anyone salutes? Temporary sail for a rowboat?

:-D

I used the time pre-op to make sure my head was in the game. I DID go out for a nice dinner with my husband a few days before surgery. We saw a movie and had sushi because my doctor asked me to stay away from sticky things for a long time post-op (especially white rice). I had a full meal, certainly, but I didn't stuff myself silly like I would have a year before. You still have time. Get your head in the game! You'll need it.

You look SO great!

Wow! Incredible job! You are inspiring. How is cycling with extra skin? It's easier for me than it was 6 months ago, but my skin is giving me problems. Do you wear compression shorts?

No weight on NY drivers licenses!
