    @travelher did you request a revision? How long after your initial procedure?

    Calling all vets- where are you

    I’m 4 years As of September 26. I literally starting feeling so depressed about my weight gain. I’ve gained 36 pounds and never made my goal weight. I’m wondering if I can have a revision
  3. l I love this!! I needed to read this today! I haven't been on here in a while!
  4. Great job!! [emoji106]
  5. My start weight was 228 my goal was 140. When I reached 158 my cousin said that I looked sick and my face was sunken in! I am 4'11! My doctor think that my weight should be 120/130![emoji15] needless to say, I'm 2 years out and 167[emoji30][emoji30][emoji30]how I wished that I was 158 again... or smaller!

    Good morning! It's been a long time since I've posted! Just to give an update, I am a 4"11 female, I was sleeved 9/26/14 my highest weight was 228. On the day of surgery I was 217 as of today 8/10/15, I am 166.3! I'd do it again in a heartbeat and I've influenced 5 people of whom I've shared my journey with, to have or at least inquire about this procedure....
  13. You go to the plus size because you still don't know your new size and the store clerk ask if you're looking to buy a gift for someone☺️ (I'm a size 6-8 dress/12 pants from a 16-18 dress/20-22 pants!)

My surgery date is September 26,2014 I have lost 60lbs exactly since then! I am healthy more energetic.... Let's just say "I'm feelin myself" lol!! And with God, ALL things are possible!

    Surgiversary

    Congratulations! My surgerversary is the same day!! I went from 217 surgery day to 177 on my surgerversary!! I feel absolutely great and YOU look absolutely great!! Keep it up!
  18. My favorite dresses are called "bodycon" and my husband can't keep his eyes or hands off of me!
  19. Surgery date was September 26, 2014! I made 6 months post op on 3/26/15 that same day I had a PCP doc visit...... I am now 177lbs from my highest weight of 228 the day of 10 day pre op weight the day of surgery I weighed 217! I'm officially off blood pressure meds, first time in 13 years! I feel great, look great, I exercise with a personal trainer 3 days a week, but my PCP said that I should work out at least 5! Hopefully, I'll find that kind of strength! It's still hard to get in 90grams of protein AND 64 oz of water but I'm trying????

    Protein powder help

    Premier CHOCOLATE is my favorite thus far! I'll be 2 months post op on 11/26/14
  21. I feel like I have no self control! I can't do this pre-op by the paper to save my life! The real sad part is, it doesn't require ALL liquid . I'm able to eat 2 "smart" meals (smart ones, healthy choice ect) a day, 1 Greek yogurt, unlimited unsweetened liquids including popsicles, a piece of fruit and 2 protein shakes! Instead I've eaten what I've cooked for the last 2 days baked turkey wings w/gravy and pinto beans (it is protein) I also had 2 jerk chicken tacos!! My surgery is Friday! I only have today to get it right because Thursday is the ALL CLEAR liquids day!

    Protein...You're making me sick.

    Puréed is theeee absolute worse! I can't hardly stand the only protein shake that I can tolerate (premier) anymore! I'm 3 weeks post op and now on any soft foods that I can tolerate. However, that's a chore as well????

    6 weeks post op with pics

    Great job! @@sweetmomma05

    I wasn't completely prepared....

    @@VSG_lauren this is EXACTLY how I feel! I thought that I was ready but boy was I in for a surprise!! I'm tired all the time, can't eat but two teaspoons of puréed anything, fatigued and a little miserable. It's unbelievable that you REALLY can't consume not even what nutritionist would say is a normal plate of something! 6 month old babies can eat more than me:(. I pray that 6 months from now that I can say it was worth it and I don't regret it either..... I'm two weeks two days post-op 9/26/14
  25. Everyone's pictures are sooooo inspiring! I'm two weeks and two days post op..... I can't wait to see results even close!????
