I am so sorry that that happened to you. That was one of my triggers to have the surgery done to I was walking my dogs and two little boys were bouncing on the trampoline in the backyard and they were chanting there is a fatty there is a fatty I think it's true I think kids learn cruelty from their parents I hope my son never learns to be cruel from me. I will live as an example to see the love, good, fact that we are all Gods children.

I hope these come in. I was sleeved on May 7 so far 53 pounds gone. I was actually called a skinny mini today I know it was meant in jest but I didn't really think I saw that much of a difference told we took this last picture

2 things that happened this morning:
1. I can't wait to put on a tee shirt and not intentionally stretch the heck out of it before I put it on- just wear it "as is."
2. I have a sports car, and can't wait to sit down gently in the seat - not go with the 1-2-3-DROP method of getting in the driver's seat! Getting out is another issue.....

Thank you!!

Had my surgery march 14
Starting weight 242
Middle weight about 187
Current weight 161!!!!!!
I looooooove my sleeve!

Good luck to you all. A lttile over 2 months out I can tell you I would do it again. God bless you all

Just listened to it, such a wonderful song

Just checkin in...almost 10 wks out and down 54lbs. Still not tolerating a lot of foods especially meat, but otherwse doing well. :-)

iI went out to Chiles the other day for lunch and my boobs did not sit on the table. It was great.

food food everywhere. My first month I hated watching TV because all thatbwas on was food or people eating.

It is a personal call. But I personally think it's worth it. I'm only a little over two months out but all I know is that I weigh 50 pounds less than I weighed in April because I lost in the presurgery diet iambs so much healthier. Good luck to you

I know that this site has been my saving grace. No one else in my life understands like those of you going through it too. Bless you all.

Interesting thread. Mine is Shine by Karen Drucker. I want to shine!!!

Ah that my dear is the million dollar question. If you don't retrain your ( brain) thinking to view food as nutrition and nothing more. Not using it to reward yourself or Celebrate or even for comfort. When you are retraining your brain and making headway in understanding why you used food the way you did. How you will substitute other things for the emotions that it handled. How celebrating with food is a mirage. Then you will begin to see a light.
You will be able to feel the pride at the many times you no longer see food the way you saw it before. You will also look to balance and moderation as a guide. No longer eating like there is no tomorrow. Weight coming off and the wonderful journey that is unfolding before you...Awesome!
Little by little you will be edging ever closer to a successful future of good health and well being.
It is not a sure thing as we will always struggle and this is because we are food addicts but we can win battles forever and worry about the war another day..As it will always be part of us...Hardwired sorta, you know!
You got this! Others who have gone before you can attest to that!

Thank you very much!!! & I will have to check out that song

The only song lyric that keeps going thru my head right now (9 days pre surgery). Is Merle Haggards " Are the Good Times Really Over" especially the line;
Are we rolling down hill
Like a snowball headed for Hell?

199!!!! Made it to ONEderland!! Wooohoooo

I was sleeved on May 7th; my weight on day of surgery was 265 - I'm currently at 230 and I'm very happy with my success so far. I'm feeling so much better and my 'bad' knee no longer hurts! All the weight loss has been without me excersizing at all.
I have osteoarthritis and have severe issues with my hip. I've just been given a total hip replacement surgery date of 8.18.14.
I'm looking forward to having the surgery, and healing from it so I can begin doing some excersizing to increase my health, stamina and weight loss.
Having this surgery has been the best decision I've ever made. Congratulations to all.

I went to the company true results and because I had a hiatal hernia my insurance paid for the hernia operation part and I'm paying about $6800 for the rest of it. I make my monthly payments of $150 a month and I'll be doing that until the 6000 whatever is paid off. I see it as an investment in my future I'm already saving about $75 a month in medicine that I no longer have to take not to mention the wear and tear on my body being 50 pounds lighter.

It is a personal call. But I personally think it's worth it. I'm only a little over two months out but all I know is that I weigh 50 pounds less than I weighed in April because I lost in the presurgery diet iambs so much healthier. Good luck to you

For W W I made a chain of colorful paperclips one for each lb, it gets really long!
