Half-Tum

Yes ma'am. I am scheduled for July 24th. Dr. Olsen.

I HOPE that people ask me "How are you losing all this weight?" I'm a very creative person and I like to mess with people so I can think of some really good responses to elicit surprise from these people.... "I have a GIANT tapeworm. It's the new craze from Europe. Yep, it's a tapeworm and his name is Justin. As in, he's Justin my Large intestines." "I've been donating all my fat on a monthly basis to fill the Kardashians parts. Lips, ass, boobs, they all not only have a little Ray Jay in them, they also have a fair amount of me." "Oh Am I? It must be all the stupid questions I answer all day long. Burns A LOT of calories. You should try it." Stuff like that. Or this.....

Got ya on speed dial.

I am July 24th

I love this post!

Thanks for coming back and sharing. I got to hand it to the ladies, but since I am a guy, I really get inspired seeing the progress that other guys who had before bodies that look like I do now make in their weight loss.

This is definitely how I am going about it. I'm psyched!

I am new and a few weeks away from my surgery. I've been looking at before and after pictures and of course I am wowed and motivated and excited. What I'd also like to know is if you could share stories about how the weight loss has effected your life; From the most mundane thing to the most amazing. Feelings that are different, little things that you realize have changed, big things you realized have changed, things that are easier, things that are harder, how people treat you differently or not...anything like this is what i'm interested in if you're interested in sharing.......

Dang. Another inspiring pic!

Height, Pres-Surgery weight and body type seem to be real close to me. I would kill to do as good as you in that amount of time. You are very inspiring.

Personally I don't feel awkward or embarrassed about the surgery at all, just the opposite. I am excited and I am ready to change. I feel awkward and embarrassed about my weight now.

I don't know yet, my consult is the 14th. I guess I'll find out then.

So your surgery date is July 24th? Me too.

I have my consult on the 14th and afaik now, I'm to be sleeved on the 24th. This forum and site have kept me pretty calm. I work for my father so luckily I can take all the time I need. I don't plan for anything more than a week though. Also, my wife is a RN and will be helping me immensely. I am lucky.

Jeez, what other clothes do I have at this point...lol

Can some of the experienced members tell me what it's good to have foodwise/medwise at home following my sleeve? Should I have a good blender? etc etc..... Any insight would be appreciated.

Ok. Yeah, that sounds like me, big belly. I'm a bit of a light weight when it comes to pain so I'll be getting one or two of these I suspect. I mean, the same thing helped when I used it on my knee recently so I get the concept.

How do you know - it was only in May, right?

Ahhh okay, I kinda figured that's what it was but wanted to be sure. So this helps with the healing in your experience?

would you mind linking like, to Amazon or something so I can see what exactly you're talking about? Thanks...

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU i can't begin to explain my gratitude for these posts. That's why I love coming to this site.

oh my god i laughed so hard at that. Sorry but that's hilarious.

Whoah! Amazing!

NOW you tell me. Well there's no reason to get this surgery then.

I wonder why you don't get to keep it if you ask. It's a piece of YOUR body.
