My Natalie & I was sleeved on July 22, 2014. My highest weight was 323 & I have lost about 40lbs so far & feeling much better already. I have been stuggling to lose weight for all of my adult life. After I had my second child I just could not loose the weight & been trying every since. It is so surreal for me to finally have success at a healthy lifestyle. I don't want to mess it up.

Welcome to the forums! Sounds like you are off to a great start! You'll find lots of good info and good people here...

Thanks I need the encouragement.

can never have too many newbies with lovely smiles

is Natalie your daughter????

happy to hear your weight loss has already effected you in a positive way!!!

you said ....."Don't want to mess it up"!!!

continue to follow all the rules that you have been learning to a "T"

easier said than done???

well, i know you want to be successful - and following all the rules is the only way to go

i've always thought the many different Water rules are the most important

ie drinking at least 64 oz a day

stop drinking about 25 minutes before you eat

never never never ever drink with your meals (people have been shot for less )

don't ever, ever drink for 45-60 minutes after you eat

your NUT will give you instructions on times, and other questions about food you have

come back to this board, read other peoples questions and answers

any of their" burning" questions could apply to you also

keep up the good work

continue following all the rules
