Sleeved 8/18/14. Stepped on scales Friday and was thrilled. I weighed in at 299. Its been 30 years since I have been under 300. Highest weight was 420 + so 299 looks amazing! Journey is not easy but is well worth it. Today was a true test as I attended my sons 30th birthday party which had lots of food, cake and a candy "bar" I had no desire to eat anything I shouldn't have. I take my lunch bag with me whenever I am away frim home more than 3 hours with the foods and drinks I can have. Things are going well. Thank you Jesus for the opportunity you have given me.

You go girl!!

Hey all! Congrats to all for being brave and committed to start your WLS journey! I was sleeved 8/18 after saving for years as my Ins wouldn't cover the surgery. Worth every penny! Down 22 pounds since surgery day. Still no energy but feeling a little better every day. Strained muscles in my foot yesterday and off meds for auto immune disease until 6 wks post op, therefor a lot of arthritic stiffness and pain. These keep me from getting the amount of exercise I want and need. It will get better! Im so thankful I was able to have the surgery and so looking forward to being able to do things I haven't in 30 plus years. Thank you Jesus! God bless you all:)

Great job! Keep up the good work!

Only 2.5 weeks out and thrilled I feel better than I have in years. 1. Able to go shopping in stores without motorized carts:) 2. From 14 prescription meds to 4 daily. Woohoo! 3. Shopping in a fashionable store and buying cothes off the racks rather than ordering on line! Life is good and getting better every day. Thank you Jesus!!!

Try adding low fat mayo and mustard to hard boiled egg to make an egg salad. Not so dry. I tollerate it at 2 1/2 wks post op.
