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.
