Attention parents! Don't let your kid under the age of 10 microwave their own food and try to get it out of microwave themselves! Or if they do use the microwave teach HOW and WHAT to set the timer on! I see too many kids with bad burns... Soup and noodles need 2 min or less it doesn't need to be boiling hot!

Had surgery on 10/25. Experience was better than I expected and recovvery going very well. Since my journey and surgery I am down 41 lbs and am so glad that i did this.

Should find out by the end of the week if my 12/19/12 surgery date is official. I really hope it is! I can't wait!!

I'm BACK from DC. What an awesome (and very HOT) experience. Walked, on average 10 miles per day (according to pedometer)! Whew!!

finally lost a couple of pounds over the weekend! I am a normal BMI!!!! Woohooo! I could call this goal but I really want to be 135. I think I have 10 more pounds in me!

I'm 10 lbs away from my doctors goal! 67 lbs lost in just a little over 5 months I heart my sleeve not only for restriction, but for giving me motivation!

My surgery is on July 10 I'm so excited

almost 10 months post op and currently 3lbs below goal!!

I have my surgery date. It's July 10. Yay

in 2 lbs I will be at my 1/2 way point! 53lbs gone forever in only 10 weeks!!! Amazing!!!!

Hi everyone! I haven't been here in a very long time. June 1st was my one year anniversary since I was sleeved. Hard to believe my life could change so much in one year! I have lost 125 pounds and feel 20 years younger. I want to lose 10 more pounds so that my BM1 is 29.9 making me Overweight and no longer Obese!

Second workout of the day finished! I didn't make 30 minutes, only did 10, but that's pretty good for someone who has a major cold right now! Weights tomorrow morning, more cardio tomorrow night.

SURGERY IS THURSDAY THE 10TH @ 10:30am (lol duh me) =]

Hit the gym pretty hard today! 10 minutes on the bike to warm up, at a much higher speed than I use for cardio, then worked my muscles to failure on the weight machines. Feeling pretty good right now!

3wks, 2 days post op. It's gone really fast. Was on a stall for about 10 days, but I lost another pound yesterday. Why didn't anyone warn me about this week 3 stall business? LOL...Well in the big picture 20lbs in 3 week is awesome. Hope you all are doing well.

Looking for advise....So, if you lose just 5-10 lbs a month by eating so little and exercising...is the surgery worth it? If you did all that without surgery, would you get the same results? I am thinking of getting the surgery in November... so I am asking, would you do it again knowing what you know now? Did you lose hair? Are you always in pain or does it go away? Do you ever live a normal life again?

sleeved july 12th......i have hit a stall for about 3 weeks : ( but even though the scale isn't budging.. i finally fit into my old jeans that i have held on to size 10!! so apparently my body is loosing mass even though the darn scale isn't moving.. I'm very happy .. : )
