10 POUNDS FROM MY GOAL WEIGHT!!!! It's so close...I can taste it!!!

Good afternoon, Well its been a blessed day today. We found out that we are getting a contract back that we lost last year. So I get to meet with several people I havent seen in a year almost. Boy are they going to be suprised. Hopefully I can get 10 more lbs off by the middle of August. Am I being to vain?

Week 10: Down 41lbs and 35% to goal

eek - My 30 year class reunion is this coming Saturday - what to wear? Now that I am an 8/10 I think I should buy something fun to wear!

im feeling very nervous as my date approach 7/19/11 will be here soon. im wondering will i be able to over come my fear and just keep my eyes on the prize. looking for alittle encouragement.

Haven't been this weight since I was 19.

So today I am exactly 10 days post-op. I'm am doing much better. I've notice that I'm able to tolerate water better with Crystal light Lemonade. I've also noticed that I definitely need to eat every 3 hours or I get weak. Its crazy but write now the only thing I can think about is eating a nice salad. LOL. I know silly right. When I could have all the salad I wanted I didn't want'em. Life!

Hey - I just found the best 10 minute walk through of jerusalem Hospital in TJ. Check this out.

I've been thinking of all the things I look forward too....I cant wait to be healthy, to be able to easily shave my legs, to be able to wear shorts (I dont think Ive worn shorts in about 10 years), to ride a roller coaster without worrying if I will be able to buckle the seat belt, to be able to sit in a seat at concerts football games etc. comfortably, to run a 5k marathon, to dream about how beautiful i will look in my wedding gown (like all girls do), to wear a bathing suit and feel co...

I went shopping for some new capris and dress shorts for work.....I completely passed by the size 12's. I actually bought size 10's!

Feeling good! Gosh, I am 15 weeks postop now--40 pounds gone! I am trying to go below 180 by my birthday on Oct 16th that is 3 weeks away. Over the weekend, I got all of my smaller clothes out, tried them one, and laundered them, so now I have a wardrobe again! Yes, most of those things fit me--discovered I am between sizes 16-18 mostly. Another 10-15 pounds off, I should be wearing the 12-14s in nothing flat! It feels great!

Bought a size 10 jeans a couple days ago!!! Haven't worn a 10 in about 12 years.

Halfway to my goal weight today!!! Wonder if I should drop my LTG a little? Or should I just let myslef get there first nd see what happens. It is already 10 pounds below what my surgeon suggested. This is all so surreal!! WOOHOO!

I haven't been here in awhile so here is a brief update...down 60 plus pounds but MORE IMPORTANTLY I feel so good. My knees don't hurt, my back doesn't hurt, I can move easily, I have an enormous amount of energy and I feel 10 years younger than my nearly 57 years! I am taking much better care of myself and don't feel selfish about it one bit! When a care giver cares for her or him self they are helping to care for the world! Rock on my sleeve family!

Life is so special. Well, I am bouncing around these last five lbs like a ball. UP 1 down 1, but I remember the days of up 20 down 10, so I am still grateful. 5lbs from goal is nothing to cry about. Giving thanks in all! Blessings everyone!

Laying in bed dreaming of all those clothes in my closet that I never got rid of. Size 10 jeans, I will see you by my b-day!!

6.9 pounds to goal... these last 10 are the hardest ever! I am low carbin it this week. Lots of water and protein to try to jump start this!

I'm just typing in the little box...hope you girls get this. I'm doing a low-carb thing now. My Dr. recommended it 10 days before, but I got to be on something now or I will gain.

cont... the 2 mo, I only had 2 lbs of weight loss. This month (3mo), I sought help from my surgeon and he said because my bmi was low from the beginning, it is expected. I decided to start working out which I wasn't doing before and lost 10 lbs this month. Are you going through the same problem?

Hi i'm Tiffany don't know how to utilize this forum but am interested in getting feedback on pre/post sleeve surg. My date is 10/24 and i am still not 100% sure if i'm gonna go through with it.

Hello! congrats on your sleeve date! I'm having surgery on 10/11! did you know we have an October 2011 thread on here? come find us!

dude im doing great man! 4 days post op, pain is amost gone, i can slam 96 oz of protein before 5 pm! just did it today, had to go out and drive, i know not a good idea but ****, easy as pie! made a huge 10 oz protein shake before i left with some ice, by the time i got done i had crushed it. you will do fine man, biggest things FORCE yourself to walk a ton in the hosptial, as much as you can!

Great news! My surgeon's office called today to schedule my surgery! Good thing I didn't wait on her...I had the pleasure of telling her "No thanks, I was sleeved on 10/14" pa-thet-ic! So glad I took matters into my own hands.

I weighed this morning and my weight is 186lbs. I have lost 59 pounds since surgery and since the beginning of my journey 105 pounds. It is hard for me to believe I am now firmly in the 100's. Have not weight this much since I was 19 years old and I was pregnant at the time.
