I'm so glad I made the decision to have the gastric sleeve surgery. What a life changing experience. I'm still single but that's the least of my worries. I fit in any booth, any chair, from 26 jeans to a 14/16. Shoe size from a 10 to a 9 my foot looks cute and skinny. Size 11 ring to a 9. I finally rode on an airplane and didnt need any extension. I'm sooooo happy people. I'm living life now

You look great! Thanks for sharing.

Great job guys!

Amy, you look fabulous! I think we were sleeved either on the same day or close to it. I love my sleeve! I have lost 70 pounds, one day I will get around to posting my story. Glad to see you are doing well, keep it up girlfriend you look awesome!

Thats amazing! You look terrific! I'm about 2 weeks presurgwry and so many questions and worries run through my mind. Scared, anxious, worried but excited. Wondering what life afterwards will be like for me. Any thoughts, insights, helpful words?

Congrats, that is a wonderful accomplishment!

Don't be scared of whats to come. It is a total life change and if you were any close to my 393 from the start you will understand after that we were trapped in your own body. I weighed 393 at the beginning and now sit at a 284 i still need to kick off another 100 but so far so good. Even at 284 i feel light and I know i'm not lol. At first you are ready to get it done. Then I went through a stage at a month that I couldn't eat and i was kickibg myself for letting me get that big and now I was forced to have that surgery and couldn't eat. Then when I dropped the first 50 i was like fk that food. IM FEELING SEXY!! You will be okay. Trust me best choice I've ever made oh and getting a divorce when I was 22 lol You will be okay buddy.

girl you rock, what is you secret to success

The Sleeve =) Let it do it's thing and you will be a happy camper. I don't step on the scale every week or two or three.. I step on it when I make a video on youtube =)

Thank you so much. You are an inspiration.

That's awesome. Can you please help? Share your tips I'm 2.5 months and have lost 37lbs but since surgery 21 I'm so depress.

Amytequilahouse- CONGRATS!!! You look A-MAZ-ING!!! Keep up the great work & wishing you much success to a happier, healthier future!

All I can say to you is be patient. If you spend too much time thinking about you will waste all that time when you can be enjoying your life. I bought a scale and honestly I get on it when I have a chance. Just relax and take it a day at a time. I wouldn't drink anytime 30 mins prior to eating then i'd wait another 30 mins to drink after and frink plenty of water. Don't stress about counting calories or being picky about the foods you eat. I eat just abouit anything but very limited. I have my three meals a day. 8am 12pm and 6pm. Make sure you get your exercise in and again... don't stress about the scale.. put it away if you have to. Trust me this is the easiest thing. Since we are so anxious to drop these unwanted pounds we break our heads and waste time with these scales. I hope my words can make it a little easier for you.

What did you do to loose so much in so little time?

Can you give a sample of ypur meals ..like what you ate etc...Key is three meals a day ...in between i still drink my protein shakes even though the doc said i could stop...what is an example of your meals...please

Amy, you're fabulous! Inspiration for all of us. FYI, to the poster who said "Fred Flintstone feet", I have to tell you when I was 26 and working in an all female office, we all took off our shoes to check out our feet for whatever reason and my friend said to me, "Oh my god, Christine, you have Fred Flintstone feet!" and she was right! So I have to LOL at your comment, that was great! Here's to success and continued success...

I don't take Protein Shakes anymore. They were delicious but I'd rather have my protein in meals. I am not a make a portion type of person. I'd serve myself some Beans and an egg with ham for Breakfast and have four five lbs. lunch would be a pork chop boneless cut up in pieces and have three small pieces. chicken is my favorite. I also cut it up in squares and have 4 or 5 pieces. The key I think is to get up from the table as soon as you feel full and don't try to fit it all in. When I'm done. I'm done. I don't sit around waiting for space to be available. I weighed almost 400 lbs remember that if you are a heavier person you will lose faster than someone who weighs less. & everybody's different dont be upset with your sleeve let it work in its own.
