I'm using Dr. Caroll too. I'm also state employer. I work for Ms State Hospital. My surgery date is Nov 11th. I'm so excitedl

My husband can't stop shopping online for me. I have no idea why but clothes keep appearing at the house. So he bought me two tiny looking size 14 dresses. I wanted to let him see how they were still waaaay too small for me. I love dresses but they didn't look good with the excess weight so I was very nervous.

But they fit!

And even though I say it myself, dang I look good in them! I have to admit, I didn't recognize myself in them. I didn't realize I am "small" enough to fit into them.

I used to read about others who said they didn't realize they were in a smaller size and it made no sense to me. Today I understood that.

I'm exactly three months out today (sx aug 2nd), 39 lbs down and in another pound I'll be half-way to goal. I've gone from an 18w or 20 to a misses 14.

For those of you who stress about stalls(I.e., me too)? Just know that in 3 months I've had 3 stalls that lasted 12 days, 12 days, and 15 days respectively. So out of 90 days, I spent 39 days stalled. And still got these results overall.

So grateful for the sleeve today. I have a thankful heart. Thanks for listening to me dance about with happiness

I think I have to quit setting time relational goals, every time I do my body is like "psych!!!"
So, do I have a goal (or ten)? Yep.
Are they to be met in a certain time frame....I'd really like to, but I don't truly believe it's possible.
BUT, I do know that I am working this program, and that I AM going to lose this weight, maybe not in MY time frame (possibly due to PCOS) but I WILL lose it.

Posted to wrong August sleevers thread earlier. So apologies for the repeat. Sleeved 8/19 down 31 from surgery (41 from preop). Seems impossible but I SWEAR most of it has been in my waist and upper body. Anyone else have that problem? Glad to be losing period, but beginning weight training to "encourage" lower body loss. Hope it works

Good lord man! You are DOING IT! Your fitbit stats are proof :-)

I had a boyfriend who remained friends with one of his ex's. we were at the "meet the friends" stage and she made it obvious that she had no desire to meet me. Barely said 3 words. Later found out that the "pet" name she and her fiends had for me was-- you guessed it--Godzilla. Presumably, because I was large and ugly (merely a guess since they have said anything to me).
So my name is a reminder that people may judge us, but their opinions never define who we are as people. At the end of the day, I can lose weight. however, there is no surgery to cure geriatric mean girls of their narrow minded bishy ways. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Hope this picture shows up. Sleeved on 8/19 and down 31 since surgery (42 since preop). It seems like I've lost nearly all my weight in my waist and upper body. Began intensive lower body strength training to firm and "encourage" some loss there! Glad to see everyone doing well!

I am most definitely an addict. I didn't ever eat in private, but every waking hour revolved (and still resolves) around food. My mom is an addict also and raised me that way from a young age. "We had a bad day, let's treat ourselves." "We had a good day, let's treat ourselves." "I'm bored. Let's have a snack." I honestly do not know how to associate with people without food. Every friendship I've ever had, we would get together for a meal. My new plan is to meet people for activities instead of meals. I also ditched a few "friends" that really were not healthy friendships for me and am only keeping positive people in my life that support my goals.
I'm 2 weeks out of surgery, and tonight my Aunt is coming in to town and I have to go to my parent's house, so I'm scared. I told my dad that they should have dinner and when they are done they can call me and I'll come over. That way I won't have to endure as much food pressure.
I can't wait for the day that it will become easier... it probably will never go away entirely, but I will accept any improvement. It took 30 years for me to get where I am now, so it'll take a while to undo all those bad habits!

I am a food addict and I only ate in private!
I would eat very little around people.
I would wait until I was alone.... Then I would relax and sooth myself by stuffing food.

That's OK. We don't like you either. Your nose is all squashed up in your face and you're funny looking.

Yes we are all just bullies....or "likers" of bullies.
This thread was such a testament to WLS genius before all the nose candy talk.

THOSE TERRIBLE ROTTEN BULLIES!! TRYING TO LIGHTEN THE MOOD ON AN OTHERWISE UNHAPPY AND DISAGREEABLE THREAD. THEY SHOULD BE HUNG BY THEIR PANTALOONS AND BEATEN ABOUT THE FACE AND NECK WITH STICKY TWIZZLERS.

I can't get the mederma to stay on. I tried the other gel thing too that everyone uses and it just peels right off.

I lost my husband two years ago. Didn't think I could live without him. I heard this song one day "Blue Skies". It always lifts my mood makes me feel hopeful.Once I decided to become healthy and start my life again the name felt appropriate.

Good one.

I was 52 years old when i decided to and was sleeved. I'm new at 52.
I'm 53 now and better than new!

I'm fat and my name is pat (Patricia)

Mine has to do with when I used to fiddle around with my musical friends in college. We would busk on the streets of Seattle and even played in a few venues like The Show box. However, we mostly did Irish bars and book stores. I played for part of my college tuition by performing Irish tunes for others. Jammed quite a bit also in late night sessions with pints of Guinness. Yes, those were certainly the days. That was many years ago and music has taken a bit of a back stage place for one reason or another (family, career and more recently, wls / fitness). I hope to open that chapter again in the near future when the interest and time comes back again.
