marmello got a reaction from fit4life123 in Looking for support
I think winter months are the hardest to lose weight with or without the sleeve. It's cold dark and depressing. Have u tried joining a gym? I find if I make myself go a few days a week I feel a little better. I've been at a stall for awhile and trying to get back to basics, adding Protein Shakes and lowering my food intake. Good luck, they weren't kidding when they said it's not the easy way out

marmello got a reaction from crazystacy81 in second thoughts about the surgery :(
I think everyone freaks out before surgery. You think of all the bad things that can happen. Try and concentrate on all the good thats coming out of it. I dont regret my sleeve for 1 second. At first it was hard and i had some doubts about did i do the right thing but yes i did. Youll b ok try and think positive

marmello got a reaction from Carlagrant in Fear
Fear is normal. I was sleeved in april and was petrified. I was so nervous and on bridge of a panic attack. But it was ok. After surgery your going to have good and bad days but when they say it gets easier, trust me it does. Just relax and have faith everything will be ok. In a few months your gonna be thrilled u went thru with it. Good luck everyone

marmello reacted to Stephannie in Size 2 wedding dress
I am the Maid of Honor in my best friends wedding. While shopping for her wedding dress the boutique only had a size 2 in the one she wanted to try. So....she asked me to try it on. I've been married forever but dug out my actual wedding pic for a side by side. What a shock. I sure wish I would have had my sleeve years ago!! Love my sleeve.
Surgery Date: 12/2012

I'm 3 weeks into piyo and one shakeology in am. I've only lost 3 lbs but I totally see my shape changing. I hate jumping (curse of big boobs). But thought I would share my results in case anyone has thought of getting it.

marmello reacted to kyleebean in 90 pounds in 7 months
Today's my 7 month anniversary for my conversion from lapband to sleeve. 90 pounds down and 60 to go. Feeling pretty proud of myself even though my weight loss has slowed and I'm still struggling with "just wanting to eat things". For the most part, I'm eating around 1200 calories, 85 gm of Protein and getting 100 oz or more of Fluid in. I've been walking about 3 miles a day four or five times per week. Know what? My dog has also lost some weight!!

marmello reacted to TBodmer71 in 9 months post op w/ pics
Woohoo! I was sleeved on August 26, 2013. As of this morning I am down to 182 from 289. I only have 22 more lbs to lose until I hit my personal goal of 160 which will put me in a "HEALTHY" bmi.
I am 5'8". I was in a tight womens size 24 or 3X. I am now a size 8 or 10 and a size large or XL top.
I am so glad I've documented everything along this journey. Here are a few pics that I'd like to share.
