    How about treating myself while on Keto diet with diet pepsi or diet rootbeer. Have always drank it before with sleeve. I see mixed reviews, all say "legally" it passes because it has no sugar, 50% say they do it, 50% say they feel the sugar substitute will confuse system MAYBE taking you out of keto temporarily...

    Any knowledge on this?

    Ooh sorry I don't know how much it costs here I've seen in other conversation that in Mexico it's from $4,000 - $7,000

    Thanks!

    Yeah seen those post and been looking into that and thought that be an option, up until someone told me horror stories about the surgeons out there :/

    Will keep researching for sure!

    I know a few people, from groups like this, that have had it done in Mexico and they had great experiences maybe look into a particular Dr and ask about him/her

    I am still a work in progress, but pretty damn proud of what I have accomplished so far. 97 pounds that are forever gone. The first picture was taken July 2015. The other two were taken over the last two weekends. I am so grateful that I chose this decision for me, myself, and I. It's not just about the weight that has been lost, I have gained so much from this experience. For the first time in a really long time, I feel like the old me- but improved.

    I am still debating on a goal. I would love to lose at least 40-50 more pounds. I'm just trying to live in the moment and enjoy where I am at now!

    This is the first time I have uploaded a picture to the thread, if it's too big--like I am afraid it will be...I'm so sorry!

    ETA: Holy ****, I was right. Hopefully I corrected it lol

    @@BigViffer .....Show off! You can show off at anytime you would like though, you earned it!

    Yes that kind of beast! A muscled up arm is a weakness of mine :P

    Have you posted your before and after pic?

    @@erics300 I am still a work in progress, no after but I do have a during. It needs to be updated though, these are a few months old. I can take a selfie all day long, but not so much full body shots lol.

    Where are yours?

    You look great awesome job keep taking pictures it's great to see the progress for yourself and don't worry about the scale as long as the clothes looks good and the sizes get smaller your doing a good job. That scale can be a real bitch sometimes. I'm three years out myself the first picture is at my biggest about 335 with my lowest at about 210 the other one is about a week ago at about 220 post-174087-14740501342485_thumb.jpg post-174087-14740502276961_thumb.jpg

    Everyone looks amazing!!! I remember when I first signed up for this website to see what I was getting myself into. On September 11, 2014 I decided to have the sleeve done. My highest weight was 290 pounds. My surgery weight was 275 and my current weight today is 123. This was the best decision I have ever made! Wish I would've done it sooner!
