Hi all, I'm looking for people that want to share and compare their ups and downs with the sleeve. People that I can talk to or meet, maybe even go to the gym with. I'm in Anne Arundel county.

i was sleeved aug 14th wish i lived closer i could really use a buddy too. I have found a good amount of ppl on here are great but lack a true buddy status. Hope we can be friends i am close to hagerstown Md.

Yay, I have a new buddy!! I'm in Annapolis. Well, we probably won't be going to the gym together but we can definetly compare and share and just talk if need be. You can reach me on here, by email or you can call me. I'll inbox you my info. So how much weight have you lost, are you going to the gym?

Hi!!! I am in Baltimore, but at least the same state. I was just sleeved on Nov 20 and would love to buddy up, if you wouldn't mind a third.

Hi, ya, that would be great. I haven't been on here much lately. I've been using my fitnesspal.com to track my calories, exercise and weight. So how are you? Are you feeling okay?

I am on mfp too... lesslexi

I'm doing well. Down a little over 28lbs in 28 days. I am still amazed when I take a few bites of something and I'm full.

How are you?

Thats great! I can eat a lot more then a few bites though. I get full at 1 cup of food. I feel like my weight loss is slow but I 'm not exercing like I should be. I can tell in my clothes that I've lost weight. I've had to start wearing old clothes that I saved. I was about a 22 -24 and I can get into a 14 now but I don't like the way it makes my stomach look so I wear 16's and they are starting to look a little loose, I have to wear a belt.

Do you take pictures of yourself? I usually take a picture in the same outfit on the 9th of each month. I haven't posted them but I think I'll do that tonight.

We should talk more often, I could use someone to keep me in line lol.

I'm tatu31 on MFP

I'm in Baltimore too. Sleeved on Nov. 5th.

That is awesome!!! I could use the encouragement, too. My husband is amazing and supportive, but he doesn't quite get it... blessed with awesome metabolism and a baseball player. He's lucky I love him.

I will friend you on mfp and pm you my mobile. I text

I'm in Baltimore too. Sleeved on Nov. 5th.

great are how are you doing?

Doing well. Still only eating meats bc I don't have much room for much else, but I feel like each day I'm taking in a little more. That's good bc it means the swelling is going down . Down 28 lbs at 6 weeks post op. I'm tired of the shakes, but I make sure to have at least one per day to hit my Protein targets.

How are you & the other MD folks doing?

I am in baltimore, was sleeved at Sinai. My surgery was aug 28 and I am down 58 lbs today. I have been battling a bad stall, only 2 lbs in the past month

That's an awesome loss, though!! Where are you in Baltimore?
