Half-Tum

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!

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

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.

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.

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.

Write EVERYTHING down. Track EVERYTHING. You'll know where you're going wrong and writing everything down will make you feel accountable to yourself.

Or make a wine holder/bladder out of it you could take to outdoor festivals.

You look like you were hiding in the person before. I mean that in a metaphysical way. You look happy now.

Wow, thank you for that detailed look at what you're going through. I really appreciate the insight. It's all motivation fuel for me at this point. I do see it as a tool. I have mentioned before it's a 2nd and last chance. I don't plan to waste it when someone is going to take a part of my anatomy out of my body to "fix" what I mismanaged (in nice terms) or "fucked up" (in not so nice terms) before.
