Kim,

I was so scared to tell my family. My dad is an army man. He did thirty years between the Army, Army Reserves and National Guard. He still loves to run at 66. He's also into all natural eating (though he has a sweet tooth and pastries are his downfall). But he hardly reacted at all. He told me to do what I thought I needed to do. He told me he was worried about scar tissue (I had three c-sections). And he didn't protest when I had to "borrow" my mom from him for three weeks to help with my recovery. You'd be surprised. I got positive reactions from almost everyone I told. Besides, if you've prayed and feel at peace with it, no one can deter you. Good luck. Keep us posted.

The baby in the pic is my youngest. The pic was taken at their birthday party when he turned one. All of my babies were born in November, so we do one party for all three. I wonder how long that will last? lol.

I'm feeling really well now that I'm on full liquids. How are you feeling Christina? You're already in onderland! Woo hoo!

Sleeve 4 me, you are in my prayers. I can't wait to hear from you after surgery.

Can't wait to hear how everything went. Praying all is well.

Glad you're feeling better.

Go on with your bad self! Lol. I really like the outfit. I'm hoping to get into those pants soon. A girlfried of mind had lap-band back in december and we're going to Kohl's on Friday to try some stuff on. I looked on the Target website to try and find the dress, but it's not there. Maybe because I bought it in July on clearance.

Hello there. How are you? Come back to us. We want to see how you're doing.

Hey there! How are you doing?

Hey there! How are you feeling? Just wanted to let you know that you're in my prayers. I know you're feeling nervous, but I'm sure it's going to all go well. Just took a look at your pics. You're such a beauty!

Hey there! How are you? You are looking fab-u-lous! I'm doing well. The scale is finally on the way down again. I'm down to 179. As of yesterday, I'm overweight! LOL! I've been obese or morbidly obese for the last 13 years. I'm wearing an XL top and a L bottom. I can't believe it. I am over the moon. Just read your post about your size 6 jeans. That is awesome. Sleeves rock!

Hey there! How's it going? Did you get your surgery yet?

Hey there! I hope you're feeling good. Welcome to Vertical Sleeve Talk!

Hey y'all! I've been lurking lately, but haven't commented much. It's been hard since my dad passed, but I'm starting to feel better. My eating got a little outta control, but it's under control again. Down to 191. For the first time ever, I weigh less than my hubby! Hope everyone is well.

Hey, are you back from Peru yet? How did it go?

How are you feeling? How did your surgery go? I hope it went well. Please update soon.

How are you Flaca? Haven't heard from you. I'd love to hear an update.

I sure am feeling better. The BP meds were making me feel sick so I went to my PCP and reduced the doses. That made the difference. I even drove myself to the lab (for blood work) and the store today. Yay me!

I'm doing well. I hit goal #2 this week: to weigh what I weighed on my wedding day! Yay! So that gets me to 31 pounds (23 since surgery) lost. I'm very happy about the change. I'm trying to post pics, but they're all too big. I gotta figure out how to shrink them.

I'm praying for a great surgery day tomorrow! Please keep me posted as soon as you feel well enough to get back on the computer.

I'm so sorry you're still on the feeding tube. Praying that that changes very soon. You look great, though!

If it still fits by then!

OK, I need to go shopping. My pants are definitely sagging. LOL. Still having a hard time wrapping my head around the smaller size. Oh and my stall broke today. Yay! Lost 2 pounds overnight. Down to 210 now.

OK, just checked on your page and according to the comments, something's going on. What's up?

OK. You have to post pictures of your new outfit!

Oooooo...those shoes are sexy! I don't know if I could wear something like that. My mom and I call them "Loca shoes." (crazy girl shoes). I didn't go to Khol's. I wound up at my local Goodwill. I heard the one by me has a lot of good stuff and they do! I got three pair of jeans for $11. The funny thing is I got maternity pants. I read somewhere they're good for people with an apple shape (likw me) and I have to say I love how they look.

Silly me. I should've read more before the last comment. LOL.
