Hi All!

I wanted to start a thread for African-American sleevers (no worries I HEART all sleevers from the rainbow). I just thought, no scientific proof, that African-American sleevers may respond to the surgery different than our lovely non-African American sleeved sisters and brothers. I wanted to know if we had the same skin issue, hair problems, and other surgery related issues. Also, how to deal with the culture shock. African-American "soul food" may be something of the past... or not. So I was just looking for a space to voice culture related issues and concens.

PS- I TRULY :heart: ALL SLEEVERS.

@@back2barb78, I just read your signature line and OMG! You are doing fabulous!

Thank you Ria. It's been an amazing journey and I'm beyond thankful. My surgeons and entire care team were amazing. Hopefully I'll get to goal by my surgiversary. Truly blessed

This week I am pretty happy with my results. I think I need to focus on getting all of my workouts in and stop eating the sugar free treats. I have been dealing with some emotional baggage this week and I noticed or am noticing I am resulting back to my old habits but now in the form of sugar free treats.

So, it is Wednesday and my body is playing again. it knows how badly I want to see under 200lbs but yet its chilling again. it was moving along all weekend and now it has decided to relax and go on vacation. I hope this weekend is like last weekend and I see something big on the scale - like a 4lb drop!

Following through and trying to reach the end of this challenge with hopes of obtaining one of my goals - either the 100 miles or being at 200lbs! I much prefer to be at 200lbs. I don't know if I am going to make it to 200lbs by 10/1/14.

For me when I am typing a message I touch the + sign which opens the full screen message box and then the 3 squares at the top right of the screen which opens a menu and attach picture is an option there. For my profile pic there is a camera icon to change that.

Hi friends...I got sleeved on 6/30 and for the last couple of weeks I have not had an appetite. I have to force myself to take 1-2 bites and I am done...and that is once a day. Is anyone else having these type of issues? Also, I having been losing weight like crazy as a result.
