Be4, I am 3 months out and 40 pounds down and I am having the same feelings. Whew! I thought I was crazy. People have been complimenting me and noticing my weight loss and I do not know how to reply. I stutter, look down or change the subject. I sometimes look in the mirror and still see "a big fat girl" when others see less of me. The mind thing is really difficult to understand. I think people sometimes think I am fishing for compliments but I'm not. I just totally don't believe them when they say "wow. you look great."

Defintely will check out the Dr. Oz site. I just keep forgetting that I can pretty much eat what I want at this point but just smarter. thanks!

I was sleeved on 1/21 and down 35 pounds. Feeling pretty good but still searching for good recipes to change up my food options. Also every once in a while I go back and forth between diarhea and contipation. Still do not regret it all!

Hi fellow January Sleevers, I had my surgery on January 21st and I am down 30 pounds. Everything has been going great so far. I did have a problem last week with upset stomach and continual burping but I took a probiotic and everything is back to normal. My only issue is finding things to eat. I'm tired of chicken and fish already. If anyone has any great recipes please send some to me. My doctor was Matt Kirkland, University of Pennsylvania Hospital. He is excellent! Hope you all continue to do well and those who are struggling please hang in there.

I am a 42 year old married woman and mom of a 7year old precious boy. I work for as a administrative assistant/contracts coordinator for a small nursing school. I am very devoted to my church and extended family. I thought about weight loss surger for the last 3 years but did not DO anything about it until this year. I am not too concerned about being "skinny" but being healthier especially with my husband who is "buffed" and works out all the time and my active son. It's about time I did something for myself.
