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.

      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

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
