I have a charm bracelet When I reach a goal, I get a new charm. They're all weight loss related.... and they were cheap but it's extra incentive.

Awesome job!

I thought it looked different on FB. But, then I thought maybe it was up. LOL I absolutely love it. It fits you!

I get mine from WAlmart.

Congratulations

Congratulations

I'm up for it I just had surgery on 12/20 So I dont know if you want someone with a little more experience. If you want you can email me JKOubik@live.com Have a great day!

Hi! I was sleeved on December 20th. If you wanna chat, email me at JKoubik@live.com

That's awesome. I was open about my surgery. It helped being so open with everyone. I also work at a school. Luckily I was approved for a December surgery so I only had to take off 2 and a half days before winter break started. The hardest part is dealing with the kids... I work with emotionally disturbed kids so it's not something I care to share with them. I just tell them I'm trying to be healthier. GOOD LUCK!

Good luck

I'm sorry to hear that good luck on your journey. i ran into a girl i know the other day and she was shocked when i said i had the sleeve. she just had the bypass and she said her hospital was more strict with the sleeve than the bypass. odd i thought

I used to be hot all the time..... now, I'm always cold. I kind of like it

Today was my first Post Op appointment! And, I am soooo happy!!! I learned that I have ALREADY lost 20 percent of my excess weight!! That's flipping AMAZING!! That equals to be 41 pounds. I have 9 pounds until my PERSONAL second mini goal.... But, I have 21 pounds to lose until I reach Dr. You's mini goal he set for my next visit! This is incredible. I'm so happy I made the decision to get sleeved! The ladies in the office kept joking with me. They told me to stop showing off YAY! Oh, and I'm released to go to Water aerobics again!

That's my next thing to do.. plan out meal times so I know when I can drink and when I can not. Thanks for the help!

I'm glad I'm not alone. I was worried. But, I remembered before reading SOMETHING about it. Thanks for replies.

I go back to work tomorrow. I need some ideas on what to bring for lunch! PLEASE HELP?! I'm looking for low carb, mushies.

I hate it. I have tried it in so many things. NO way I'm touching the stuff. IT REEKS!

They may want you to just take it easy at first. But, if you know you can tolerate it with no issues, than so be it!

I go back to work tomorrow after two weeks off. I've been lucky though because I actually only had to take off three days before Christmas break started. But I haven't been in a lot of pain. That is until yesterday. My left side hurts. I think its from moving too much and laughing to hard. But boooo! On the other hand I'm excited to see my kids at work. And to have my first post op appointment Wednesday!

I learned I had a small incision in my belly button after it itched. So are you sure you don't have a small one? Sounds funny but I had no idea that I had one

I always get it at food Lion. They only carry the chocolate. I also seen 711 carries individual bottles. However my store didn't have any sugar free

YAY! Congrats to you! Such a nice way to start 2011.

That's awesome. I'm so happy for you! =) Such a great way to start 2011

Yes, I did. You could do a program such as Jenny Craig, or Weight Watchers and then go to your doctor once a month to review them with him/her and have him sign off. Mainly because you need more than just your weight for it to work. You also need documentation of exercise AND food intake.
