So update: I’m about a week from the trip and I’m 243 as of this morning. WooHoo. I’m going to book the horseback riding excursion today. I’m so excited. I feel great. About to go workout now. Thanks for all of the encouragement!

??? I’m cracking up! That was hilarious!!! I accept my trophy with honor!

LOL. I actually weighed myself before and after a poop session and I lost 1.4 lbs. it was the craziest thing. I told my hubby and he just stared at me in disbelief. #truestory

I’m so glad someone posted this. I LOVE sushi and wondering if anyone still ate it after being sleeved. I’m going to wait a couple more months to try it out though.

I was sleeved on 10/2/2018 and am down 47lbs. I feel like my progress is slow but steady. I’m actually in the 250’s for the first time in YEARS! My hubby and I have a Vegas trip planned in January and my gift to myself if I’m under 250 is to go horseback riding for the first time ever. I’ve never been under the maximum weight in my adult life so I’ve always avoided doing it. I know it will be cold but I don’t care. My butt will be freezing doing something I’ve always wanted to do. I’m so excited. Now to continue this hard work. I’m about 60ish lbs from where I think I want to be, which is under 200, and it finally feels like a realistic goal! Here’s to being sexy in Vegas. To all my fellow sleevers “We’ve got this”!
HW - 306
SW - 298

Exactly!! Thanks for the education!

Good to know! I just didn’t want to be one of the people they asked to weigh or gave the stink eye too because of my former weight. I would be too through!!!

Thank you! I hope so. I stalled for about 2 weeks and started getting discouraged and then this week lost 3 lbs. I think I wasn’t drinking enough water. I can’t wait for that trip. To finally be comfortable in my own skin and save money because I won’t be eating much! That’s money to shop and do other fun stuff!
And you look beautiful by the way. Love your profile pic!

Fishing for compliments.
In normal life it's frowned upon as if proof of a character defect,
however
I think our population could use the confidence boost in a safe environment. Some days I need it more than protein...
If you need it too, feel free to share your selfies or stories and feel the love pour in...

You look fantastic! Congratulations!???

THis feeling goes away. I felt it for the first week or two. Even tortured myself looking at recipes of stuff I couldn’t eat. I’m 4 weeks out and I don’t feel like I’m missing out so much anymore. I guess it goes away the more your diet changes. Now that I can eat a little more I’m fine. No more torture. LOL. Hang in there.

I love chili. There’s an awesome turkey chili recipe on the Bariatric pal site that I can’t wait to try. Hopefully, in a couple of weeks I’ll be in that phase. But I love that I’m losing. I miss real food though a little.

I just realized that I’ve been tracking my weight in MyFitnessPal since 2012 and I’ve never been below 274.4...until now. I’m now 270.2 which is probably the lowest weight I’ve seen in 8 or 9 years. I’m only 3 1/2 weeks or so post op but the difference is already amazing. My feet have shrunk my thighs have shrunk...pretty much everything except my butt (which hubby is fine with). I’m so happy I did this! Already planning how to eat on business travel/meetings when I go back to work next week. I feel like a new woman. If anyone reading this is considering this surgery and having doubts...just do it. It was the most difficult (2 years of doubting) yet rewarding decision ever.

Congrats on your success but most of all Congrats on the positive outlook it has given you. Keep up the great success!!!
