I was sleeved in June and promised myself popcorn during first Nfl game. So yummy and didn't bother me or slowdown weight loss. So, I had it again during Monday Night Football with some Indian corn and pumpkins in it...cramps and the trots ALL night. Never again!

I am putting my trust in what you're saying! I fear I'll be the only person in history that the sleeve won't work for!! I'll add some more Water today and hopefully the scale will move soon! Thanks!

Reading these posts make me laugh now! I'm 14 days out and I felt exactly like you guys! I didn't know what to do with my tongue! I would take a mouthful if food, chew, and spit it out. I just needed to chew and get a decent taste inu mouth. It sucked! In 2 weeks you'll feel like new. I love it now! Keep fighting, it's worth it!

I hope to be one of those skinny beotches that gets cold when its 80 degrees instead of sweating like a roasting pig!

Relieved to hear that. I don't know if I are too mych, not enough, if I need to walk, or stop walking. I just know my stomach hurts and don't know why! Frustrating...

I started walking about 20 miles a week and now I'm running 20 miles a week.Lots of gym time but now i just enjoy running.

I love your honesty!! My sleeve is June 28 and that will be me!

I'm officially sleeved!

These are the exact words that came pouring out of my niece's mouth when she saw me last weekend!!! Mind you, I am not SMALL by any stretch of the imagination, but since she has only known me fat, I guess I do look quite different! I haven't posted on here in a while since I'm back in the real world again. I was such a hermit when I weighed 300+ pounds. I quit working from home and now have an amazing job! I'm enjoying my life again and I didn't think that was possible. I have officially lost...drum roll please...113 pounds!!!!!! People look me in the eyes now! I didn't realize how invisible I had become. I notice that now I look people in the eyes. I was hidden underneath an enormous layer of fat and shame. The world is different now. The world is beautiful. I am beautiful. I like to take pics with my husband. I like compliments. The nickname at work is "Smiley"! At first they thought I was "another fake department head just sitting on their ass". I was recently told this by a co-worker. I held my head up and explained that nobody up there understood why I was so happy and if they would ask me, I would tell them that I have lost 100+ pounds and I have nothing to be sad about anymore! I bust my butt at work and it shows! They see me walking and moving around all day and not just sitting there. They like me now (which on a human level does make me feel better), but they like me because I can help put a smile on their face with my stories. They like me because I live my life. They like me because I like me! This has been the most physically demanding job I have ever had, but because of my weight loss, I can do my job and do it well! I started this job a month ago this week and I have lost an additional 20 pounds since I started! I've been working my butt off, quite literally! So, to all the "rookies", keep your head up! I'm 8 months out today and this has been the best 8 months I can remember and also the most difficult and worth every bit of it!!!!
Here is the most recent pic of my sweet little family!

Yippee! For the first time in 13 years I am under 200lbs! I did a happy dance after I got off the scale this morning!

Well when is your date? I would have to say I was completely back to normal in 2 weeks. however if you dont have a bunch of roudy kids I would say a week would be sufficient...if you can do some of teaching while sitting....it is just soreness not real pain.

Look at those boobs!

Mine will be 7 days of liquids...not sure if they have to be clear. The nutritionist will give me a weeks worth of food to get me through it. I am so nervous about doing this and failing....I mean I'm fat for a reason. It's not like I have amazing self control.

2 weeks all liquid pre op? If I could do that , I wouldn't be needing a sleeve! I'm such a loser! And hungry!
