Btw Butter, one of my good friends decided to have the sleeve...he was totally convinced when I showed him your before and after pics. He had his surgery last Monday and is doing really good. Just wanted to let you know that you've inspired someone you don't even know:)

Well that is awesome. Had I known I could have sent him all my transition clothes that I bought and then got too small for.

I'm still in the head that I don't quite believe transition clothes are a thing. As in, I'll never transition in or transition out. I did break down and give away a suit and two dresses this weekend to a friend. Progress...

My wife's people live up north of Alexandria where the churches and fried turkeys run rampant and sensibility has been outlawed. My tiny martial victory is that I don't have to go there for both thanksgiving and Xmas. I'd rather go turkey day and stay home Xmas but I get outvoted on that every year. But either way I get gumbo.

Gumbo will make up for a lot ;-P I have friends in Alexandria/Pineville. I'm closer to Baton Rouge

He's doing so good! I measured his neck yesterday and it was down 1 1/4 inches from the week before!! Wow!

My FIL preaches in Montgomery but they live in a tiny tiny berg called Atlanta near Winfield. Population 133 and he was the mayor for 33 years.

Lol. You must know my FIL then. Fundamentalist southern baptist preacher AND a politician. Every time I step foot in his house I feel like I just traveled back in time 75 years. My only clue that's it's all real is Fox News playing on a continuous 24 hour loop on the tv. The only other show he gets is gunsmoke.

Yep....I knew I dated one for a while. You just described her perfectly.

This is wrong on so many levels....including the fact that it made me snort while laughing....

Sounds like it must be an amazing place to visit!!! No wonder you love going there so much!

Have to throw in my childhood weird sandwich. Butter and sugar on white bread.

There's no wonder I got fat.

We used to have those as kids too! It's amazing to me how certain things kids like can cross continents.

Am I the only one that ate Peanut Butter and honey sandwiches daily?

No you're not. My dad would make us those with crunchy peanut butter but he would add a banana. That's how his grandmother made them for him.

Me too, only we toasted the bread.

Oh and my recent pre-sleeve vice? Honey butter and Nutella on toast. So totally yummy!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
