Guess what I went shopping for a pair of jeans and im a 44 waist down from a 50 waist Nov 11. Im so happy. I have like 3 pairs of sweat pants and 1 pair of jeans now. I figure I should own at least one pair of jeans just in case. Well this means that soon I will have to sell all my shirts they are 4x and 3x button short sleeve collar shirts all different patterns for men even got Hawaiian floral shirts short sleeve of course a lot of summer shirts.

Awesome! I'm with you, all my pants fit like MC Hammer pants. And my belts on the last hole before I have to start cutting new ones.

It's a good problem to have!

Yep that is a good problem to have! I have gone from a size 56 when I was at my biggest years ago to a 36. I was in a 48 at the time of my surgery. I mean that is just crazy so I know how you feel! Congrats to you..

Congrats to you all! It means so much to us pre-sleeves who need to stay focused on the results. I just finished reading how hard the preop diet is. It can trick my mind into thinking I can't do this. But so many of you have been so successful. I just hope I can do it too!

How many people attend Overeaters Anonymous. Im thinking of attending the meetings. Can i get some feedback or suggestions

I used to go to Overeaters Anonymous and found it very helpful. I haven't been to a meeting in years and certainly not since my sleeve surgery, but it has been on my mind lately. Let me know if you find a group that you like.

Jayson, I recently started going to OA. I'm not religious, so that worried me, but I am finding it extremely helpful. I'd recommend checking it out. If it isn't for you you've only lost an hour of time.

Now that I increased my food amount to 4 ounces up from 2 ounces per the nutritionist. So I guess my weight loss will be slower now. I have to exercise more now.

Wow! That's awesome! I had the lapband and it slipped up my esophagus, last month. They've removed all the liquid and I'm now waiting approval to have it removed and to get the sleeve. I hope I get it soon. I'm gaining wait already, I think the sleeve will be a better choice. I had lost well with the band... But the slippage was scary! :(

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
