    Hey guys... I am going to try to answer all the questions but if I leave anything out let me know... First off food intake - I average between 400 and 600 calories a day. Yes that number is low but

Congrats to you! I hope my success story goes as well as yours

My breasts however are a different story. I weighed 120 when I got prego with my first child and I went from a B cup to an F... After three kids I was a droopy triple D. Now I am a 32 D but they look like tube socks with a tennis ball when I lean over (sorry for the visual!).

what a description! Love it! Guess every silver lining has its cloud!

You look absolutely ace from you're little profile pic- please post before and afters.... My date is Oct 4th to get my sleeve- you have inspired me and boosted my hope for a better future x

Your success is really awesome to hear!!! I had my surgery August first and weighed in at 206 I'm currently at 185 I'm 5'2 you give me hope that someday I will reach my goal weight!! :)

Hip hip hooray!! Sounds amazing. I can't wait for surgery!!! Size 4 wow!! Go you!!!

I eat fruit on occasion but not daily. The first several weeks out from surgery (after the liquids stage) I ate fruit bc it was easy to get down. It typically has a lot of sugar in it which makes me crave more sweets. I eat homemade quacamole several times a week. We make it with 1 avacodo, 1 large tomato, 1 yellow onion, lemon juice, salt and pepper and it is so yummy.

Also to answer the question about hunger... No I don't ever feel hungry. Everyone gets head hunger but after the sleeve there is no physical hunger pains.

I love your story, it is so inspirational! A size 4 is amazing & your profile pic is lovely. I also would like to see your b4 & after pics. Great job!

Wow! I started at 225lbs and goal is 135 for me. Thanks for the inspiration!

That is Awesome Crystal!!! How tall are you? I am 5'2 and was thinking setting a 135ish goal weight but I am seriously considering trying for 120 just to see if I can.. I am currently 222

That is SO awesome! I so hope that will be me in 6 months! Have you exercised a lot?

You look great! I am glad to hear you haven't had too much saggy skin. I am extremely worried about that. I have about the same amount to loose, but I am a little taller. So worried about the girls... I was a 32-A or B pre-pregnancy. I have come to accept that if I do need a little nip-tuck, so be it. I can't wait to get on the other side of the fence!
