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....

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 have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
