LOVE PINK is the slogan for Victorias Secret PINK, a store that I always loved but couldn't fit into before I had the surgery... My goal was to be able to shop there after I got sleeved and now it's one of my favorites.

Where is OTR Sleever? I've been wondering about that name....

I'm pretty sure his name means over the road sleever' date=' he's a truck driver. (I only know that because my bf is one too) ;)[/quote']

Sorry ladies, I refrained from posting in this thread because it was in the "powder room". Not that that has ever stopped me before.

But yes, I am an Over The Road truck driver.

I'm even considering starting a thread updating my location so that I might be able to meet a few of you fellow sleevers. Haven't done it yet because I'm afraid it might appear a bit pretentious.

FIrebelle10

I'm a career firefighter (lieutenant) and since I'm a lady I'm a belle. 10 is my soccer number for college (1000 years ago).

Plus I did the 60 mile breast cancer walk and this was our team name. Imagine a group of 20 something year old guys walking for breast cancer wearing pink t-shirts calling themselves

FIREBELLES ( they were just thinking fire bells)

To all sleevers past..present... And future

YOU GOT THIS!

I think that is a good idea. I don't get a chance to meet other sleevers as I'm from a smallish town with no bariatric surgeon/support group etc. I think you should do it.

That'd be cool. I'm in Albuquerque. Most truck drivers roll through the "Big I" at some point...

I went to my friend's graduation dinner and saw people I hadn't seen in over a year. I heard a couple of women who I knew, but don't KNOW, whispering about who I was. One of them said "Ohhh that's Kendra!" Wow she lost a whole lot of weight."I thought it was pretty funny so I changed my screen name.

It is used to be MsKendraHL.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
