I'm open to help, assist, butt kick, pat you on the back... all that.

I absolutely believe in this tool with all my heart! It has done for me what I couldn't do for myself nor even the lap band was able to do for me either. It was the best find and I can't say enough how it's given me my life back!!!

I won't say I know everything, because I DON'T! But in my career I always say, if I don't know the answer - someone else does. I'd like to open the discussion for anyone who needs someone to listen or to answer those millions of questions that come with this life altering surgery.

Blessings to all!!! Your dreams are at your doorstep now with the VSG.

If you are pondering wether or not to workout today, consider this: How many MORE calories will you get out of your body by doing it! Think of them in Oz... It takes 3,500 calories burnt to equal 1 Lb. ;o) Yeah, sounds good now doesn't it? If I burn an additional 500 calories today by workouts alone, then I've burned off an additional 1/7 of a Lb of fat that I wouldn't have otherwise.

Same here

Strong, healthy, fit, and happy!! Nope, not a DOGGONE thing wrong with that!! Whatever it takes for someone to get there, they should definitely work toward it. Have a blessed day weight loss world. GO GET YOURS!!

I will be soo glad when my PT releases me to exercise! I'm soo ready! I'm ready to see my goal!

I love this thread! I hope my experiences are welcome here too! Your Do's and Don'ts are invaluable LilMissDiva, I hope you don't mind that I reposted that post on my own blog (I gave you credit for it). If you do, please PM me and I'll amend or delete as required I want all sleevers to have as much information as they possibly can and I love to offer as much insight as I can into those early days when we all had a million questions!

Of course I don't mind! Thanks for the credit and kudos, I do appreciate it very much. By looking at your signature it appears you're quite the success story!! Wonderful job!!

The number one ingredient to losing weight with the sleeve: Diligence. The second: Forgiveness (of the self). Every day you wake up is a new opportunity to get it right. Never give up! Perfection isn't going to happen unless you're Super Human. That... I never was.

I choose action... not reaction.

I missed you!!!!

Hi Ela!!! It sounds like you're doing really great, congrats!! ((( ))) Hey, just kick butt girly, and you'll get your rewards in one way or another.

Keep in mind that weight loss takes a lot of time to accomplish! Stay strong and work hard, you will get there.

I am so excited to see the 70's again )))) Fitting in size 10 now and it feels so good. I became involved in our support group and this month represented the sleevers and promoted our type of WLS to potential patients...I am so happy with my choice, that I love talking about my journey. Next meeting I will be a speaker is in July ))

By then I should be at my goal...so excied and grateful!!!!
