HELLO I AM DAY 6 I WOKE UP FEELING GOOD BUT AFTER MY SHOWER AND FIX MY Breakfast I FEEL SO SICK RIGHT NOW I CANT EVEN DRINK MY BREAKFAST, I HAD TO TAKE A NAUSEA PILL. LAST NIGHT WAS RUFF I MUST SAY. I THINK I STRESSED THE MAIN INSISION AND IT BOTHERED ME ALL NIGHT THE ACHE WENT ALL THE WAY TO MY BACK. YES I WAS SCARED BUT I KNEW I WOULD BE OK. I THINK I AM HAVING A REACTION TO TRADER JOES SPICY BLACK BEAN Soup, KEY WORD SPICY LOL.

I WAS ABLE TO GET MY 60 GRAMS OF PROTIEN IN AND I THINK THAT MADE ME SICK AS WELL I WAS FORCING IT BUT I COULDNT FINISH IT NO MATTER HOW HARD I TRIED LOL.

I HOPE EVERYONE WHO HAS HAD THE SURGERY IS DOING WELL. PLEASE SHARE YOUR PROGRESS SO WE CAN LEARN FROM EACH OTHER.

I'll be going into surgery this Monday 9-23-13. I am both excited and extremely nervous. I'm worried that I'll get super ill from the anesthesia. I will have a patch on so hopefully that will help. I keep reading all this literature.

Well look forward to connecting w/ all of you.

I have my one year appt today with the surgeon...i hope he doesnt say i didnt lose enough lol i personally feel i am within twenty pounds of goal and that five of my pounds is excess skin etc. Im gonna ask him what he thinks and if its too early to look into plastics etc.

Ill let you all know how it goes!

Happy Anniversary to all my sleeve sisters. Am at doctors office now for my one year follow up... Just got weighed and down 200lbs since this journey started. Still have 35-40 to go til reach goal....gonna go buy some new walking shoes and hit some thrift stores to celebrate.

Happy anniversary to all of you! Hope everyone is doing good. Just wanted to say hi...

Soo i had my one year with the surgeon. He wants me to aim for 150 and not 170 since he says most people will regain 10percent back over time so it gives me a little wiggle room. Also asked him about my jiggly tummy and he said to work on my core and it would tighten up alot as i dont have alot of skin like i thought just alot of jiggle haha. He also said that i should wait another year and by then anything i want done would be cosmetic...i was thinking a year anyways so i guess ill need to start working on my core and see if that helps. Over all he didnt complain that i wasnt at goal but did mention that the losing period is over so going forward its all on me.

Sigh so 20 lbs turned into 30 or 40 lbs left to lose. Blah. Oh well just gotta look at the bright side that i have lost almost 90 lbs!!!

Congrats & Happy Surgiversary to all of you who have celebrated their one year post op (myself included). I lost a total of 63 pounds and have maintained that weight loss. I am happy to post a before & after pic (hope this works).

You look fabulous!!!!

So glad you posted this because it gives me things to think about. I haven't had my one year check up and probably will not go.

Today is my one year surgi-versary! Down 122 pounds and trying to maintain at 135. (Even though I would secretly like to see 129 on the scale just once!) at my 1 year post op appointment I was told I've lost 98% of my excess weight. I'll take that!

i hate me right now

i stopped losing at 6 months and have tried everything under the sun to lose. and nothing. i gave up at one tiime and we all knows what happens then old habits and old thoughts. i did the whole workout eating right to gain 8lbs and that 8lbs wont leave me. and no its not muscle, clothes are tighter. im so frustrated right now. i havent even been to my appt. for what for the dr to rag on me about how i didnt lose enough.

starting to day i am on a 6 day cleanse and see what happens. i stopped working out for months due to issues. i started back last night after work 30 min on the bike.

i am the original poster and i have not posted in a while. i feel like i am the only one that failed at this.

i apologize for being so negative buts thats how i am feeling right now
