Let's Check In November 2012 Sleevers!

[Ainsleet 67]

I am 11 pounds away from goal of 140. Starting weight 240. 5 more pounds will put me into a size 8 pant. I am very happy right here at a 10 but Dr. wants me to go all the way so I have some wiggle room when I get on a maintenance plan. Which is hard for me to imagine eating any more than I do now. I get full fast, or don't feel well. I too will need a Tummy Tuck and MY ARMS. I have about 3" of ugly skin hanging. I am saving my $ for that, next year.

Everyone is looking great!! If you feel half as good as I do about the weight loss, we are one happy group of people. Happiness brings peace, right?

Hello everyone!!! It's been awhile since I posted anything on here. Things didn't go like I imagined they would.... had a lot of problems , but now finally on the mend. To date I have lost a total of 77 lbs , went from a size 22 to a comfortable 14.... Not at the size I was hoping for being 7 months out , but I'll take it!!! Just now able to tolerate food. I'm taking in 600 calories a day , which got me is good . Glad everyone is doing so well.

Thanks!!!!! Feels good to be somewhat back to myself. I got really depressed for awhile .... I gave a new meaning to " buyers remorse" . I still have some trouble eating , take it day by day , but am glad of the decision I made!!!

do you mind telling us what happened?

[buckeye_girl40 203]

Not at all.... My new tummy wouldn't tolerate any food or liquid for that matter. My Gerd became extremely worse, no meds would help. I stayed dehydrated.... In and out of the hospital getting I.V's . My surgeon said that I was in a cycle that he referred to as 'Marianne" syndrome.... It starts with not being able to hydrate yourself and continually vomiting . I'm doing some better, can take in 600 calories on a good day. Finally have the right acid meds... thank God for Protonix!!!!
