Go vols! Hee hee!

Sooooo, today was my 6-month mark! HW: 313, SW: 273, CW: 195! Tops from 30/32 to 14/16, pants size 28 to. 14! Loving the sleeve life and thankful for this group.

I'm from Manteca, but had surgery there with Dr. Boghossian; who was your surgeon?

5 months out! HW: 313 SW: 273 CW: 203 Woot woot!!!!!!!!

I had to get one of those vitamin cases to keep on my desk! Makes me feel old, but it's working. Lol!

HW: 313 SW: 273 on 4/23 CW: 207 How about you? I'm still getting dizzy, but taking my Vitamins and getting around 50g Protein each day. I think I need to drink more....

Update; surgery 4/23/13: HW: 313 SW: 273 CW: 207 Down 106 pounds (including 66 since surgery)!

Best: my daughter told me she can grasp her wrists behind my back while hugging me. Apparently, she couldn't even touch her hands before! Worst: the extra skin comment...UGH. What the heck do you care what I do with my extra skin?!?!? Funniest: an elderly lady that comes into work occasionally didn't recognize me at all until I spoke and then she GUSHED for 45 minutes over how fabulous I look now and proceeded to tell me that I need to buy some nighties so my hubby will stay interested in me. Uh, what?

You're off to a good start! Welcome to Sleeverland!

Wonton soup broth was divine right after surgery! And I'm now a "smeller." If I smell something I know won't agree with me (i.e. donuts, pastries, breads), it satisfies my craving. Strange, but true!

You are doing awesome! I was also sleeved 4/23. SW: 273 CW: 213 Having trouble with vitamins and low energy, but man, do I ever feel better!!!

Surgery 4/23/13 HW: 313 SW: 273 CW: 221 92 freakin pounds gone! Yea baby!

Sleeved 4/23/13: HW 313, SW 273, CW 234! Down 79 since last year including 39 since surgery. Finding bones I didn't know I had! Lol!

I use the app: click on "home" (on the bottom) and then "daily" (near the middle of the top).

I have a few: /lanamcbroom

It's tough no matter how prepared you are, but one day at a time!

My process went faster than normal. I attended orientation March 1 and had surgery April 23. During those few weeks, I squeezed in the mental health appointments (2), NUT appointment, and pre-op diet. It helped that I was already at "goal weight" when I met with the surgeon! I used that info to get in earlier to see MH and NUT. They all worked to get me in FAST!
