GW. 145
Thank you for all your hard work

I was a self-pay patient so I didn't get to have any follow-up labs done after my sleeve procedure. I had a nutrition panel and a CBC done about a year ago where everything was fine, but last week I had my primary care doctor run a full panel of lab tests- CBC, thyroid, Vitamins, glucose, everything we could think of. I've never had issues with any results before the sleeve, but I eat a lot differently now than I did then and I was a little concerned that something may be off either nutritionally or with my thyroid. I received my full results today and everything is perfect. Almost all of my values are right in the middle of where they should be and they are all within normal limits. I feel relieved and validated given how so many people told me that getting bariatric surgery would lead to so many health problems and nutritional deficits. Looks like I'm not only now thin, but also healthy! I thought this may be helpful to anyone who may be considering the sleeve but wasn't sure about how easy it was to remain healthy in the distant future.

Liars unite!

Starting weight. 147
Goal weight. 145

That's a tough one. You should not have to tamper your joy and your success because someone else has not reached their goal. They should look at you as a role model and a source of inspiration. If they choose not to, seems to me that it's their problem, not yours.
Find new groups. We should Celebrate each other.

Not me. One of the reasons why I had surgery was so I didn't have to even think about any of those scammy garbage lose-weight-quick! products. No more raspberry extract, green tea, AM300, Plexus, BodyByVi, etc., etc., etc...
Never again.

Cw. 148

Thank you for doing this!

Hi guys;
Was out last night shopping and found a pair of pink jeans.... I went back and forth about buying them.....Am I too old? Do I look dumb? you know the usual!
What do you think!

Go girl

I'm in thank you for taking the torch!!!

Thank you to Susan for doing all this hard work much appreciated
Weighing in today made goal 147- first time - on yo the next one!

Ok- I have mentioned in some posts about bad behaviors that crept back in which prevented me from reaching goal, and added a little more to my struggles. A few people indicated they were in a similar spot, and would love to have an accountability partner. So here goes:
After the surgery, it was too easy to lose weight. i was never hungry, and so I ate what I could whenever. I started eating later. I began to tolerate carbs, and they slowly drifted back into my diet. I started sipping at meals, with a straw. I renewed my love affair with Dr. Pepper. The weight fell off easily. Until it stopped. Now it's time for a serious changes as I noticed, I put on a few pounds this past winter.
I officially state that I AM TAKING BACK MY SLEEVE!
I am starting fresh as it were. I am doing Protein Shakes. I am taking Vitamins. I am counting calories. I am eating as "clean" as possible. I am drinking Water. I am getting in more physical activity. Basically, I am now doing everything I should have been doing all along, but sadly admit I never did.
Three weeks into it and I am down 9 pounds and lost over 15 inches. I feel great and hope to keep doing better as I embrace the lifestyle changes I should have made two years ago.
Who's with me???
