Vday 2013 and Vday 2014...sleeved Aug 2013...I went from a size 20 to a size 12. Rocking this sleeve!!!

Good luck!!

What part of California are you in? Who's your surgeon?

This is me right after I got out of the hospital...2nd is 4 months out. Down 46 lbs. 20 lbs to goal weight!!!

I had Dr Bohyrul out at Scripps La Jolla. Absolutely loved him!!

I was sleeved in San Diego, who's your surgeon?

*THANKSGIVING GOAL* CW 204 Goal 190 Current size: 16 Goal: 14

Thank you!!

I always came on here looking at the pictures, thinking why am I not seeing a difference. Well I guess it's because I see myself everyday and had never compared two pictures...well I am finally able to see the difference and I am liking what I see. Excuse the pic on the right, I know I look a bit crazy LOL.

Does this pertain to us, seeing as how we aren't bypass patients???

Will I have to wait 30 minutes before and after meals to drink for the rest of my life??? *sigh* I can't take it!!!

I can only tolerate children's Flinstone vitamins and I do a B-12.

I can't answer your question but just wanted to comment that my doc told me losing more than 20 lbs a month is unhealthy. I don't know if that has anything to do with my personal treatment but 40lbs seems like a lot to me for one month.

I personally prefer Bariatric Advantage Orange Cream. Great taste, no after taste. I use skim milk instead of water.

I don't think we should be here to judge...we all were/are fatties and eating our favorite foods is a hard habit to break. We are here for moral support. I am sure we have all eaten something we shouldn't have at one point or another!!!

Thanks!!!

I was sleeved on 8/28 but I am not brave enough to try Popeyes chicken lol although its one of my faves. I would like to try true naked strips but I think I will wait a few more weeks.

What do you use to flavor/sweeten your coffee? I can have decaf but I'm so used to having it with flavored creamer. What are some alternatives you use?

I had Dr Bhoyrul as well...great surgeon!!! I was sleeved on 8/28.

I have seen a few posts about the bunch of lunch card...is this something that you got from your surgeon? I will have to ask mine on my next appt.

Question for those women that have been sleeved for awhile...have you guys kept your shape/curves after losing the weight. I pride myself in being curvy and don't want to lose it just because I will be losing weight. I never had this problem before but I have never lost a significant amount (20-30lbs).
