Hello fellow sleevers!! It has been forever since I have updated! I've been so busy with my move to Houston, midterms and finals are coming soon!!!

I am now 15 weeks post op and it has been a struggle! Especially with avoiding the so-called "freshman 15"!!! I have made progress but I'm still learning my limitations as far as eating.

--I also have some personal problems with my weight loss...for every 2 people that compliment me there's 3 people saying things like "omg your neck is long" "wow eat a burger and stop losing" "are you on drugs" and to be honest it hurts because I have always suffered from low self-esteem and now I'm getting those kind of remarks:( I just feel so bad some days and great other days. Did someone else have these problems with their peer's comments??

As far as my weight I'm going to the on campus gym 4 times a week and i am 36 POUNDS AWAY FROM MY GOAL OMG!!!!!

Here are some pictures!!

Before: weighing 241

During the liquid diet before: 237

15 Weeks Post Op 190lbs!!!

I LOVE MY SLEEVE!!! :-)

It's sad but I think ppl do say those things to destory your motivation. Thin=pretty in our society and people either want you to stay bigger than them or be fat and miserable with them. When they say something like, "You look like you are on drugs." realize what they are really saying is "OMG you are getting so skinny! Everyone is going to look at you and not me!" You look fantastic and what a huge difference you can see in your pics. Grats on all your hard work!

Please don't let the comments get you down! People DO get jealous, and people DO get uncomfortable with change.... even GOOD change!!! They will get used to it, and in the meantime, you are looking so fabulous! Major congratulations to you, you are looking so healthy and gorgeous!!!

All I can say is WOW!!

Congrats on the weight loss. You are looking really good. Keep up the good work and get to your goal of a healthy BMI.

Most of the people who give you comments like that are A) jealous or feeling uncomfortable because they are not to used to the "new" you

You look amazing, many congrats on your success ! ! ! As for the crappy comments, look at them, give a little smile and say " Jealousy is like a bad cold; I hope you get well soon." Turn and walk away.

You look amazing! The people who are telling you to eat etc. are just jealous! I would to have people tell me to eat! ; ) bottom line....you have arrived!

Just a bunch of haters! You look great! You're not too thin. You have a nice shape going on!!!!! When you want the truth post on here, I will tell you when you need a burger =).
