I can't begin to tell you guys how happy I am with the sleeve and what a difference it has made in my life. It's just beginning to dawn on me that this is really happening and that I don't have to worry that I'll gain it all back or do something that will make the scale gods unhappy with me.

I really really am so excited for my future -- I just can't believe it -- I feel like I have to pinch myself!!

Thank you all for your support -- even though I haven't said it enough, you guys are the best!

WOW! That's impressive. My surgery date was 08/23/10 and my weight was 229.1. I currently weigh 194.2 so since I had my surgery I've lost 35lbs. What are you doing to be so successful? I plateaued at 207 for 4 weeks.

Thanks for sharing...

I really am doing just the basics -- I eat until my stomach says stop (it's usually a slight nauseous feeling) -- I drink 64 oz. of Water a day -- and I walk my doggies a lot.

I do eat a lot of Protein first -- I'm trying to combine more veggies in my eating but sometimes I get full before I eat many veggies.

I did a video for YouTube where you can see my before and "during" pics -- I really am just very overwhelmed with how the sleeve is working. crazy. Here's the link to the video:

Thanks guys for all your support, you really don't know how much it means to me

I am so happy for you. I am having my surgery on November 10th and I am going crazy with anticipation. I adore hearing how the surgery has been a success for everyone both physically and mentally.

Ok I have a question...how in God's name are you drinking 64 oz. of water a day???? I used to be able to do that and more in a day, now I'm lucky if I get 16 oz. of water in a day, seriously. The 30 min. wait after eating totally messes that up for me

You are doing so great. I'm impressed and so very happy for you.

Way to go Julie!!!!! Don't pinch yourself... cuz it will hurt... cuz it's all real :-D
