Every fat girl knows the right angle to hold the camera for a good selfy.

Um, all fat girls have pretty faces.

Awesome!!

I was sleeved 7/30 and have lost 35 lbs since surgery (44 including liquid pre-diet). I don't really see a difference yet (sorry no pics for me yet- ugh). Ive only just come out of a 2 week stall tho- so? Maybe soon.
However.... I have great reports from my 2 month dr appt. I am no longer diabetic (not even close!) no longer need blood pressure medication, my knees stopped hurting and I dropped 71 points on my cholesterol!
So... Would I sleeve again? Absolutely!

35 lbs., way to go! You won't be able to see it as quickly as others, especially those you do not see often.
Congrats on the diabetes, blood pressure and cholesterol...or lack thereof!
Keep it up...aspire to inspire, before you expire!

I lost my ass! Oh? Wrong thread??? Ummmm..let me go look...
Ok I'm back! I lost a gold brick and a pineapple...
But really, what happened to my ass??? My daughter loves to point out how flat it is now..
It must of been all those years of sitting on it

I've lost a red-necked wallaby, (23 pounds), and Lady Gaga, (107 pounds).
I really miss the wallaby.

I love that show! I can't wait for the next episode.

I just recently broke out of a stall that lasted almost 2 weeks. I found myself wondering if when people spoke of the 3 week stall if they meant that I was going to be stalled for 3 weeks. Ugh! Being stalled is so frustrating. But hang in there, the scale will move again! Just keep rockin that sleeve!

If you are good with looking older than you are, you must be in your early 20s. HA!
24?

Today at work someone brought in a beautiful carrot cake (my drug of choice pre-surgery) for someone's birthday and it was the first time since my surgery 6 weeks ago that I was seriously tempted. I could not believe all of the garbage, manipulative, justification and flat out self sabotaging thoughts I was having. Like the addict i am, I was sitting there at my desk literally obsessing and fighting with myself about how I needed to have it.
My first thoughts - go for it, you have been super good- why not? Which progressed to thoughts about ways to sneak a taste, move the cake out of the way and accidentally touch the frosting with my thumb. Slice it for others so I could steal some off of the knife after. Then i started thinking - oh what you think that you're just never gonna eat sweets again? Your'e such a baby- get over you.
Finally I had to get up and leave the room- phew! I fought it and I won today! Ugh.

yaaay! Good job girl! Welcome to this side of things! You're gonna rock that sleeve! drink Water and walk walk walk it helps the discomfort. Promise!

Today was the day. Surgery at 10:00 am. and apparently all went well. Now I'm sipping a Protein drink and liquid Tylenol alternately.
I hope all my 9/16 sleeve buddies are doing great!

Thanks all! Looking at side by sides is surreal. I still have a ways to go and I gained three back over a girls' weekend (complete with the start of my girly cycle - of course), but I'm tickled.
That dress is a HUGE NSV, too. I bought it Thursday, off the rack, without trying it or anything else on for a night out! First stress free GNO purchase in a decade and best of all....NO Spanx underneath!
Can I hear a WHAT! WHAT! ?

This!

I know EXACTLY what you mean!!! Good for you! Keep that up and you'll get all those food demons out of your system before you know it!
