Where are the 50's??? -- all I see is a topic about wrinkles! How has the surgery changed your life?

Keep up the good work. Is there somewhere we can get advise as we loose on how to get our brain to change as our body does?

Don't I wish!!! My eyes are still way too big for my sleeve, and I still try on new clothes, thinking "There's no way this will fit" and then find out that it's too big. I know it took my brain 50 years to get to this point, and it's only been 2.5 months since the surgery, but gee whiz -- enough already!!

Chachaburch I love your thinking lol. Good going keep it up.

I went to Cato's today to look at some tops, and just automatically went to the "big girls" side, then realized everything there was too big!! Is it me, or are the dressing rooms nicer on the "other side"????

I tried some clothes on that I haven't worn in at least 2 yrs, thinking there was no way they would fit yet. It's a good thing I did because they are almost too big!! If I waited much longer to try them on, I would have missed the window to wear them!! That was pretty cool!

Good going Joni!

Okay, I have to give a shout out for my newest NSV!!!!! I have never been in favor of exercise (my favorite Bible verse is "Bodily exercise profiteth little..." lol - not really!) But, at 2 years out things have to step up to keep my new body/health in check. So I bought a bike and started riding several days a week 2-3 miles and today, I DID A WHOLE 30 MINUTES ON THE ELLIPTICAL! Now, that is BIG for me! ha! Anyway, I have seen a real change just by increasing exercise and lowering carbs. Fight the good fight, 50's!!!! Peace.

Well I'm Home. Got home last night. THought I had posted here but must have forgotten to hit the post button. How can you come home from all of that nothing at all and only liquids' date=' and gain 11 lbs? Talk about discouraged. :-([/quote']

Don't get discouraged. I gained 15 pounds in the hospital from swelling and fluids, but lost all of it and more after the first week. I was sleeved on May 3 and am now down 35 pounds including a stall.

Everyone says it, but it really does get better every single day. I'm now on solid foods and eating very tasty food. Love my sleeve!

Way to go girl! You rock!!!!

Weighed today, have lost all of the hospital gain plus 2 lbs. That put a smile on my face, lol. Having trouble getting the clear protein down for some reason. Things that tasted good before don't taste good at all right now. I have some low carb strawberry protein drink and I'm trying it today, even if it isn't clear. close to getting all of my water in, but a little short. going to really push that hard today.

New_Hope.....fantastic !!! it is hard to get all liquids in at first....but it does get easier.... Good job!

WTG. I am so proud of you. Hope to be right behind you. I know it had to be in the early 90's or late 80's since I last saw onederland. Enjoy.

I am really struggling to lose the extra I have put back on. It's not nearly as easy at 3 years than even a year ago. I am exercising and eating right and it's not coming off. It's discouraging. I am going to keep at it though. I don't want to buy new pants!

Gosh I'm so excited to get this show on the road......New Hope, it's nice to hear that you can get bigger sips now!
