  1. How much closer can I get??haha I weigh 152.2 this morning which means I've lost 99.8 pounds....and on top of that I'm only 2.2 pounds away from meeting my goal. I never thought I'd get here this quickly!.....just a little over 6.5 months!!!

      Congratulations! That is an incredible accomplishment. Your toes are right up against the finish line!

  2. Headed to the hospital to see if my SIL will get a new liver. Fingers and toes crossed that she is doing better and gets her transplant.

  3. Fun fact. I've just been informed that 75% of people on this site don't like me. Here's to my 25% peeps!

  4. I think I should not take painkillers and be allowed near a computer at the same time. I have a feeling I will be embarrassed tomorrow.

      Nah, it's fun seeing what kooky stuff your mind comes up with when you're floating away on a soft, fluffy cloud of opiates.

  5. My best advice? Ask you surgeon for the kind of sleeve that doesn't stretch when you used a straw or swallow air. It's worth the extra $10.

      The one that will still allow someone to drink, smoke, and eat lasagna during the full liquid stage. Y'know, the super special sleeve people keep referring to: "Ugh, I have TONS of friends who got WLS and still do bodyshots, pass a bong around, eat fried oreos and lose weight!"

  6. I love it when people speak of their opinion as if it was absolute fact.

      Not only is everything I say absolute fact, but anyone who disagrees with me I simply accuse of being a negative nancy and condescendingly offer to pray for them.

  7. Good lord, the loose skin! Every time someone says I look great now, I just wanna respond "buddy, my body is an apocalyptic wasteland under this body shaper."

      It adds a whole 'nother level of deception to dating profiles. Guys get upset enough when carefully-angled face photos don't reflect reality. What about this? How do I advertise myself? Sleeve exterior, but beware under the hood? XD

  8. Lost another 4 pounds this week. Down 36 pounds in 11 weeks.

  9. Down 101 lbs for my upcoming 6 month sleeve anniversary!

      Lol, honestly though, I think being young helps, as well as having complications for quite some time that made eating incredible miserable. Truth be told, I don't really enjoy ANY food (except chips/snacks/candy, which I avoid except for popcorn), so it's easy for me to be incredibly selective with what I do pick. I don't exercise, but I plan to start when I finally stall.

      MissRobin, I avoid all food and food-type products that local restaurants and grocers try to sell me

  11. I have a stricture, and it sucks :( I would rather lose weight slowly and be able to get something down than be trapped in this 300/day calorie hell

      Thanks proudgrammy. Yes, I will be able to get it done Jan/Feb. Just gotta learn to deal with the limitations for the next few months. I'm just young and have always been very healthy, so I never thought I'd be one of the few with complications.

      No insurance until January, and I'm a student living on very little, so I don't have the option to get it fixed right now.
