You look incredible!!! How do you feel?

Congrats. Being pregnant after surgery is supposed to be better with the sleeve than without. I envy you. I want a huge family. At least 10 kids.

aww. That's so sweet. When I was in Mexico, a man told me a story about him and his wife. they had been married for 22 years. He said he was around my size when they met. She was a hottie and in shape. He was pretty big. He said his biggest worry all these years was that his wife would leave him because of his weight... then he said he realized that their love was stronger than he imagined because she was right there with him while he was getting surgery and told him it was his choice and she loves him regardless of weather he does the surgery or not. He told me that they both even dieted together, she lost weight and he gained. She still stood by him. He said that he hopes everyone can find their true love like he did and he was pretty dang lucky.

The Surgery will work. You have to do your part too. Don't worry, your stomach will keep you in line. In six months, no one will recognize the new you and I mean in a good way. A lot of people I have known for years now see me and don't recognize me, then the next thing I hear is OMG you've lost so much weight. It's a good feeling. I wish I would have done this ten years ago.

I too am at six months out and I don't notice it there unless I'm trying to eat too much.

I've owned my company for a long time now. I've been in the same industry for 16 years. I go to peoples homes everyday and usually I visit with them around 4 to 6 times a year. I own a service company. In the last month I've been going to see customers that I have not seen since my surgery and some of them have been my customers for more than 10 years... they keep walking up to me to shake my hand and then say they were expecting me but they see that I sent someone different etc. Then I speak and they have a double take. These people I have worked for for years do not recognize me because I've lost so much weight.
It's a great feeling and it tells me that it was all worth it. At least 10 customers I've seen since my surgery have had the sleeve done or are scheduled to have it done. One lady told me the same thing that I had said as my reason for doing it... health. She wanted to feel good again. She told me I was living proof it could be done.
My see my doctor once a week and he can't believe how well I've done. Every week I go down 1 to 5 lbs. Sometimes its just 1 or 2, other times its up to 5 lbs and once it was 9 lbs in a week.
Anyone else experience this?

So every goal I set, I meat and beat it.
We are doing the fertilization where one baby is mine and one baby is his. It's a lot of money to spend and we've been advised that we could end up with up to 8 to 10 going this route, but realistically 2 to 4.
I'm excited.
The Surgery is nothing compared to what you go through trying to have babies,
The weight loss was the first step. I wish I had done it ten years ago.
When they get here, I'm retiring for 20 years. LOL. (I doubt this but wishful thinking).
At least with having the surgery, I know I'm going to be around for quite a while.

Let's face it, the sex is the best part.

Are you taking Biotin? It helps so much. My biggest complaint is my nails have to be trimmed 3 times a week.
Your making great progress. Reward yourself. Put some color in. Go all out. I went bleach blonde and pulled it off.

I'm 31 and getting carded again. The only down side with my youthful looks is my new customers don't believe me when I tell them I've been doing this for 16 years. They don't think I'm old enough. I've had people tell me I'm completely different and the only thing different about me is yes the weight is gone, I have more energy, I exercise daily now, I don't eat a lot and I haven't had soda since the surgery.

Remember the rule of thumb is... never trust a fart.

I've had a fun incredible journey since October when I was sleeved. Today has been a nice, boring lazy Sunday. I cleaned out my closet and got rid of all my clothes that are too big. I found brand new shirts, pants, shorts etc that I had never worn. They were 1 and 2 x and up to a size 38 waist.
I ended up having three huge garbage bags full of clothes I can't wear any longer due to size.
I never thought the day would come when I couldn't fit into my XLT shirts. Now they look like a blanket on me.
So that being said, if your starting the journey, put this on your list. It'll make you realize how much progress you have made. As of this morning I'm down a grand total of 69 lbs from October.

You will learn to be patient and eat slow. In 3 to 4 months you'll be able to eat 6 to 8 ounces at most in one sitting.

I'm throwing this in there for comical purposes... we didn't say anything about the size of the 1 cookie did we? I mean, what if it was a gigantic large cookie and it did fill her up?
