Wow you all look GREAT !! Everyone keep up the good work , I know how hard it is. Plus people don't know they think we took the easy way out ! They don't know how we all struggle , cause we're all "heavy minded" and that internal fight it a rough one !!

I work out more now that I'm thinner then I've ever did when I was heavy

So I still got a little more to go but all and all I'm down 125 LBS since 2/12/14

. My before and after I still got a little more to lose but all and all down 125 since 2/12/14

After a while it's hard to hide , and everyone wants to know how you did it and you have to come clean. I didn't want anyone to know cause I was (A) a little ashamed and ( if I failed ( down the road ) no one would know that I had surgery but after a year and 125LBS people stRt asking questions. !! I've learned be proud cause it's still a lot of work and mental stress

good luck to you !!

i had a friend draw up a totem pole with the members of my family native signs

so i started my sleeve and cover up of an old one

10 months ago i had the sleeve done I'm down 120lbs and feeling and doing great

Hi has anyone found a Protein Shake that don't tats like Vitamins ??

A lot of hard work and exercise !! I was sleeved on 02/12/14 and I'm down 105 LBS that in just 7 months

That's me last summer !!

And this is me now !

LOL. VPENN very good ,

So it's been 6 months and I'm down 95 LBS and I'm no longer a type 2 diabetic and I don't take any meds any more !! I went down from a size 42 pants to a size 32 , and I now wear a small / med , shirt now. ,, I work out almost everyday , I run a 3 mile fitness trail in homdel park in New Jersey , and do weight lifting / and also swim laps , it's very hard work but I do not have any of that saggy skin I feel great !! And I'm starting to look great I think I'm starting to see some ab muscles ,WOW, but I said it before and I'll say it again none of that tops the fact that my ""penis"" has tripled in size !!!! Well just. Giving an up date !! I hope you'll and doing as well as I 'em I still haven't told everyone that I hade the sleeve done I guess it's cause I'm still worried that I will fail and it would look like I had this done for nothing

Yeah I'm down 95 lbs since 2/12/14and pants size from size 42 to size 32 and I've been working out with weights and running 3 miles and swimming laps almost every day I don't have any lose skin so from that that aspect I'm doing great , and I know that I'm doing great I look great and feel great I do not have to take any meds any more and that's the best part !! But my mind won't stop racing and I can't stop scaring my self with "what ifs ". Ugh !! Why !!

I had my surgery done on February 12, 2014 and lately I've been just laying in bed at night freaking myself out about all the scenarios of only having half a stomach""" there is no logic to this I know but the mind is a very powerful thing I worry when I step on the scale and it don't go down ""I think oh no it's not working for me anymore "" and I worry if it goes down thinking ""oh know I won't be able to stop this weight loss and I'm going to look like an stick figure this is a no win for me !!!

I wonder if I'm the only one that's going thru this ??
