  1. Hang in there!! I had a rough start out of my group but it WILL get better. More than likely it's the swelling. Try not to worry. And welcome to the club!
  2. I chose the sleeve. This was a hard decision for me as well. My surgeon felt that it was the best option for me being the fact that I was so young and I did not want a maintenance issue. I was on the fence about the band and the sleeve up till the week I had surgery. After several hours of research I decided I would go with my Dr advice. I'm so thankful I did!! I am 4m out (65lbs less) and I can eat anything I want!! Steak, chicken, pork, bread, take pills, anything! Nothing is limited to me, I just chose not to eat the way I did before. This is going to be a very personal decision. I recommend doing your research but either way no matter what you chose you are making a decision to start a healthy life!! Congrats
  3. Thanks! I new I had read about this before on here. But since the new site I can't find anything! I was just curious as to when I may slack up. I don't want to be all fabulously skinny and bald! Lol
  4. How long did your hair loss last? I'm at 4m now and my hair has started to shed. Granted I have thick hair but I want to maintain thick hair. I talked to my Dr about it and he said there is nothing I could do......really
  5. Ok, I know I checked in early last night at 191.2 BUT I just weighed and I'm down to 190.8!! Every ounce counts toward that 186 goal!!!
  6. I say JUST DO IT!!! I'm 4m out and 65lbs lighter! I'm 40lbs from my personal goal!!
  7. It's your choice but I'd chose the 27th after Christmas! I was required to stay in the hospital for a week and you wouldn't want your family celebrating Christmas in the hospital if for some reason you had to stay.
  8. Today is my 4 month postoperative anniversary and I have lost 65lbs! I totally love my sleeve and so thankful that I went through with the surgery!!!
  9. Hi guys I'm 4m out today and 65lbs lighter!!! Yay!!
  10. I love sushi!! But after my surgery (4m postoperative) I guess my taste buds changed I did not like it anymore!
  11. I am unable to read and post. So I don't know if my earlier post has showed up. Ugh :-/
  12. What is up with the site now?? Every page I open will say ERROR! I understand new sites have bugs, but really? I think I may just have to bow out of this website. Thanks guys for all your last help.

  20. Ugh I'm 2lbs away fro my goal & I've stalled! I want to make this goal sooo bad!
  21. I usually order steamed shrimp, or the peel and eat version. Other than that I stick to protein, protein, protein! I did visit red robin where I ordered an amazing hamburger, the royal red robin. Instead of a bun I have it served on lettuce wedges. Also at the Mexican restaurant ask your taco to be replace with lettuce!
