Had my surgery in Oxford, Ms, on June 18, 2012, I weighed 334 lbs, I am amazed at how great this has worked, I thought for sure I would be the one person that this surgery did not work on! I stepped on the scale this morning and BAM 264 lbs! I am loving my sleeve, the only thing I love more is the look in my husbands eyes when he looks at me now, I catch him looking at me all the time!

Ya, Gaye! You are doing it, girl! Thanks for posting B/A pix- weight loss numbers are good to know for facts - but photos show the transformation! I can't get over how people's faces change- more youthful and the inner happiness shines through. God bless you snd your family!

Thanks everyone for all the great words of encouragement, the only advice I can give you is to do exactly what your Dr says, I have not put one thing in my mouth that I was not told to eat, I went thru 2 months of crap to get where I am now and I'm sure not going to screw things up by eating junk cause that's the reason i had to have wls to start with.

Wow awesome, sleeved same day started at 345 and been stuck at 301 for last 1-1/2 weeks. How did u lose so fast, do you have myfitnesspal? Add me taniamb would love to view your food diary.

Hey TaniaB, sorry don't have a my fitness pal. I eat a ton of chicken, I love cottage cheese, cheese sticks, deli shaved turkey. Before surgery I was a total dessert freak, I would rather have eaten sweets than food, but as fate would have it since surgery if I put anything with even a small amount of sugar in my mouth I get SICK, so there goes my sweet tooth! I have become a gym rat, I go every day but Sunday, I do 30 to 45 min on the elliptical machine, weights for toning and I swim laps to try to get rid of my bat wings. You can do it to, just stick with it, it will come off, I promise!

thats what i cant wait for! the way my husband looks at me, def miss that!

Congrats! You've already come so far. Very encouraging. Wishing you continued success.

Thank you for sharing.
