I miss mashed potatoes. I was missing pizza but my husband got a pizza one night and I told the cheese off the pizza and my husband bottom of the pizza. It was the best pizza minus the bottom I ever had and I was satisfied .

I totally agree the sleeve is the way to go. I was sleeved on Dec 9th and I'm down over 60 pds. My mother had the gastric bypass and a few years out she had a bowel obstruction . It was terrible and that's why I choose the sleeve. Also remember the sleeve is not NEW. It's been around for years. They do the sleeve for cancer patients and then someone got the idea it would be great for overweight people. See there are the facts!!!

Wow! You look great and much younger looking.

Lol! I was too! I rocked the hair in the 80's!!!

You look amazing and yes younger ! Keep up the good work.

Thanks I will have to call tomorrow !

Ok it's takes a few months. I would just stick with salad and chicken. Just tell people your watching your carbs. I would always just say I'm full or my stomach hurts and no one asks after that. Good luck to you . I know you will do great.

You look amazing! Keep up the good work.

Thank you so much! I didn't either I just found that picture from a year ago and used that one.

Good luck to you happygorlforlife! Monday is the first day of the rest of your life!!!!

Thank you!

Thank you and good luck! It's the best thing you will ever do! Keep us posted!

Congratulations on your best decision ever!!! Well the first 5 days are the hardest! The next 3 weeks weren't so bad and then it gets easier. Hair Loss no one told me about and didn't know it was going to happen! At 3 months out I started loading a lot hair but I have a lot of hair so not a big deal but start taking Biotin now it helps. The biggest thing I can say is just do everything they tell you to do. Eat slow and look for signs your getting full because if you over eat your stomach feels like a rock and other time you just throw up. I finally figure it out if I sneeze or my nose starts running I have to stop eating because that's my sign I'm full. Also make sure you weigh everything it helps. Clothes at first it's small but then it's starts the clothes just start falling off. I went from size 22 to an 18 and then 18 to 16. And now I'm going in to some 14. Don't bit a lot of clothes look for a sale and buy a few things just to get your thru. I hit a one day Macys sale and got 5 pants for 60 dollars and that's great. It's all just goes fast. Also get yourself a fitbit - this thing is great you can keep track of your meals and your water. It give you a break down of fat vs carbs and protein. I try to keep my carbs under 40 and make sure I get in at least 60 protein. Also it's keeps track of your steps and your activity . It helps me get my steps in. I hope this helps and if you have any other questions just ask. Good luck to you!

Thank you so much Ladies! Still a long road ahead of me!

Thank you so much for the kind words. Still have a ways to go but I will get to wonderland ! ????

Thanks everyone!

Oh yes I was sleeved 3 months ago and when I'm getting full my nose starts running and then I start sneezing . That's my sign I'm getting to full.

Thank you!
