Hey to all April 2010 Sleevers!!!!! Its been a year and my has the time passed....I am in onederland, yaaay!!! and couldn't be happier.....my life has brand new meaning and I've never felt better.....I have a daughter leaving for college in a month and two toddlers to keep up with so the weight loss was something that was so necessary for me at this point in my life.....A year later and 100+ pounds lost I am happy to report to you all that all is certainly well with me.....When I've stalled, I go back to the basics which for me is no carbs for a few days and back to my normal eating habits and it has always worked.....I am so happy I could burst!!!! All the best to you guys and I wish you continued success and for those who are having a hard time hang in there because it shall pass. blessings to you all,

I am 11 months out and was doing really well with everything until recently....for the past couple of weeks I have been disguisted by eating. I fainted @ work yesterday which was utterly embarrassing....when I go into my kitchen and there is food on the counter or stove I wanna throw up....has anyone experienced this? I don't want to be anorexic so I want to nip this thing in the bud ASAP.....advice please cause I don't know what to do.

Hi guys!!!! I was sleeved on April 19th and I feel fantastic!!! I've lost 63 pounds thus far....my hair is thinning but I try to see the big picture.

Thanks guys....I started the 5 day pouch test yesterday and I really feel better already...not craving carbs or anything so I am hanging in there, not giving in because I went through too much to have this surgery and I am determined to make it work for me. Tiffy, you should really consider writing a book or something....you always have the answers....seriously!!!!

Hello everyone.....I need some help to get me back on track....I'm half way to my goal and I'm at a stand still with my weight loss....I'll admit that I have had a potato chip here and there and a few pieces of candy....how do I get back after falling off the wagon....I want to continue with my progress but I feel so lost and defeated and I know that this is something that I'm doing to myself....give me some advice and encouragement pleeeese!!!

Doing great y'all...started working out a couple of weeks ago and it makes all the difference...wishing everyone the best!!!!!!!!!!

Welcome, your story is such an inspiration this will be so easy for you....I'm praying for the best possible outcome for you.

Hey y'all!!! I was sleeved on the 19th and I feel great!!! On mushies right now but Monday I start on fish and I can even have cheese...I like many others are still basically doing liquids cuase mushy food is not appealing to me at all, in fact it grosses me out....anyhoo, I loving my sleeve. I weighed myself at my last appointment on 04/30/2010 and I lost 25 pounds.......yay!!! I'm just praying that the fat continue to melt off of me, losing weight has never been a problem for me, I just could never keep it off so we'll see...I am praying the best possible outcome for everyone and Happy Mother's Day to all you mothers out there. blessings, Val

One week y'all.....I am sooooo excited....liquid diet for me all this week until surgery. I am not gonna trip cuase I am one week from doing this and the wait has been much too long....I have a lot of nervous/excited energy which makes it hard for me to eat even if I could or wanted to...I just keep thinking about getting in those single digits...lol!!! How's everyone doing thus far?????

Catyroses: I'm sooooo excited for you....praying that everything goes well for you....my appointment was pretty basic, just about what to expect post-op etc, etc nothing you don't already know.....I have an appointment with my surgeon on Monday afternoon, getting my orders for labs and gotta go pay my 20% the hospital and the doctor and then the waiting begins.....hope the week passes fast!!!! Ready to do it and get it over with.
