1.) getting on wii fit and not hearing "your obese" 2.) going on a date and no having to worry if I am eating too much 3.) I want to learn how to rock wall climb 4.) not being to big friend 5.) buying clothes any where And my final hope is to just love myself and be happy in my own skin! I want to hear "I never would have guessed you use to be big" I want to be called small when someone is explaining what I look like.

I'm not sure what is wrong with my emails but I'm not getting emails anymore when ppl post on my threads. I'm not sure what the deal is. So I hit goal finally and now I'm even a little under! I have gone from my highest of a size 20 to now I'm a size 4/6. I have the super sleeve and I love it! I'm also the person on beliteweights webpage taking about the super sleeve. I have heard of people having issue and I even had my stalls but I'm pretty happy with hitting goal after only 5 months! If you have any questions and I'm taking too long to reply back my email is Mellifrits@yahoo.com

I still have that a times and I'm 5 months out.

I'm so proud of you! You look amazing!

Thank you so much! I'm glad I did It too. I know I'm young but my sister waited til her 40s to have her's and she told me if she had known she wouldn't have waited. I honestly thought the smallest I could get was an 8 so the fact that I'm wearing a 4 seems like a dream!

I loved Dr. Rod!! I would tell anyone and everyone to go to him! I have a blog post that had info I can send you. The hospital is like a resort and the staff is amazing! I know a very limited amount of Spanish but I just used the list they gave me. I would point to what I wanted in English and they would look on the other side to read it in Spanish. My main issue was gas pain so Gas-X and a heating pad were my bestfriends. When I was in pain the gas-x was amazing at getting that gas pain to go away. If there is anything else you want to know feel free to email me!

Hey! I'm 23 Years old and I got my super sleeve July 2010. I have gone from my highest of size 20 to now size 6! Okay I know this is silly but I was hanging out with some friends the other night. One of my old guy friends was teasing me and picked me up like a bag of potatos! I have never had someone do that to me. I always wished I was small enough of a guy to do that without thinking. I know it is silly but it just made me feel good about myself. I am not sure about everyone else but I have to remind myself that I'm small. It almost seems like a dream.

That is amazing! I am so proud of you!

Are you using Gas-X strips?

Check it out! I am now one of the poster patients for BeLiteWeight. I have gone from my high of size 20 to now size 4/6 http://www.belitemexico.com/Testimonials_What_Patients_Have_to_Say.htm

I had a month where I only lost 4 or 5 lbs and it really got me down. Don't worry about it. The next month I started losing the weight again. I had my super sleeve in July and it is five months later. I am now 132 lbs and a size 6. I can get into a size 4 but it is still a little tight. The scale was driving me crazy so I started weighing once a week instead of every day. It made me loss more since I was less stressed.

I'm sorry but I don't really have a blog but I did post at times. I main thing that I do different from others is my first four or five months I didn't eat bread or Pasta. I get full so fast as it is and pasta/bread was not what I wanted to get full off of. I would rather eat meat and vegs. Since I hit goal I have added bread and pasta back to my diet but it is limited. I think that is a big factor of why I lost the weight so fast but I never could have done it without my sleeve.

I don't know why people would have issues. I some times have to make myself eat even when I am not hungry and when I do eat I can't eat very much. It is the best thing I ever did for myself. I was asked to be put on BeLiteWeight web page though so I guess I am doing pretty well.

I had a month stall and I started working out about 20 minutes three times a week and the weight started coming off again. I have gone from my high of 210 lbs size 20 and now I'm 132 lbs size 4/6.. I promise my super sleeve was worth it!!! So hang in there.. PS Drink as much Water as you can

I agree that it is a coping mechanism since I felt hopeless. I didn't think there was anything I could do to change my life. Now I know I can and I guess I want to see how far I can change it. I have never had someone tell me I'm getting too thin better and to be honest something in my head likes it. I don't want all my bones to show but I never thought it possible to be an avg weight let alone a low avg. It is still healthy for me to be 120 and think all alone that was my dream so 120 is going to be my last goal and the goal I want to keep.

I would love to post there an tell them it is normal! Thank you for letting me know and keeping up with my story! I love this thread! I don't know what I would do without you guys!!

socialliving.com has coupons in your area. It changes everyday and sones they have food coupons. Also I carry a hard that says I've had WLS so I get kids meals and that saves money.

Mine was 6200 and I can send you info about my dr if you would like.

When you lose the weight fast like we do you will get the "don't lose anymore weight" alot. Sometimes they can't imagine you being smaller or sometimes they are jealous or sometimes they are just trying to say you look great and that is how they express it. Either way keep going girl!! You are going to love it!

Becareful about drinking too much when you eat. It takes you longer to get the full feeling. I'm learning if I limit how much I drink when I eat I eat less and feel better.

I do the same as you with keeping my WLS a secret. When I got my sleeve I was a live in Nanny for my bestfriend and I made the choice to also keep her in the dark. She is like your Dad in the aspect of trying to keep control in putting you down. She said some of the same things to me BUT I knew if I told her the truth nothing would change. She would still put me down just for a different reason. Plus she would tell EVERYONE about my WLS and I do not want that at all! I am 23 years old and I don't want people I don't trust knowing my secrets. What do you really think will change if you tell him? I'm sure it will be the same as he treated your mother.

When your prego you have weight in different areas of your body that might effect your pant size. I was wearing a size 10 when I was 145ish. I think 125 for me sounds like a good goal so I'm sure you'll be fine but I would set three different goals cuz it is so empowering when you hit those goals!!

Thank you!! I didn't even know it was possible!
