    Things I Can Do Now

    Cross my legs under lowish tables, not cringe when I see that someone tagged me in a picture on Facebook and my heart beating wildly while I brought the picture up, hoping it was shoulders up, sitting in rickety looking chairs, enjoying clothes shopping more, and many more! I'm at 60% goal and am so excited to get to goal and see what else I can do.

    Any Teachers?

    I'm a 4th grade teacher. I had my surgery a week after school ended in May. For me personally, I knew I wouldn't have to take that much time off, but was afraid of dealing with food issues with my new sleeve like upset stomach, etc while I was still in the classroom. As it turned out, I have only had one issue with eating the wrong type of food and it happened last week, when I am 4 months out. Go figure!
  6. I had two c-sections, one was 15 years ago and one was 10 years ago. In my situation I think the sleeve recovery was slightly more uncomfortable because I was a lot younger when I had the c-sections. But neither surgery was unbearable.

    4 month weight loss

    I was 4 months yesterday and I've lost 53. Not as much as some others on here, but I'm happy with it! About 50 more to go!

    Am i kidding myself?

    I'm 35, sleeved May 29th, I will say I feel a lot better now at 35 than I did at 32, 33, 34 while I was carrying the 50lbs I have lost so far! I had no co morbidities, but was sluggish and tired a lot. This is the best thing I have ever done for myself!

    Non Scale Victory

    I'm a teacher and for the past 2 years I couldn't cross my legs under the lunch table. I did it the other day without even realizing it for a minute...but when I did realize it I wanted to stand up and shout it to my class!'
  10. I was going to say the same thing...men! They lose faster and you can tell on their bodies way before you can tell on ours :/
  11. Never, always a little chunky. Hopefully that will change! Sleeved 5/29

    3mths Out

    Congrats! You look great
  15. 5 weeks out and 26lbs down. Slow and steady will be the way for me I guess!
  16. Same thing happened to me. I teach at a small school and told one other teacher (who I found out has a big mouth) and I had to tell my principal due to the time off I took and now I think everyone there knows. Oh well, I guess it saves me having to answer so many questions when I return in August and hopefully look a lot different!
