Hey everyone! I just wanted to keep in touch with everyone on the postop boards now that most of us are done and in a few more days the remainder of us October sleevers will be done as well.

How is everyone doing? Feel free to share any problems, suggestions, recipes that helped you get your Protein in, and any other advice you'd like to share. Ask questions, if you have them. Use this thread as you see fit, but mostly to keep in touch with everyone.

I know quite a few people went to the Facebook page. I know it's private, but I've seen cases where private information was temporarily made public on Facebook by Facebook glitches/viruses/hacks. I know there is no intention of it going public but I rather not take the risk.

So I hope to hear from you all soon!!

Best wishes and good luck!

I had the BEST NSV today, I went wedding dress shopping and I did not need to buy a plus size gown and the dress designer was in the store and said I had a fabulous skinny waist. I have never felt more beautiful or confident. I am even more excited to get married now!

Jstrong, that had to feel amazing. How much have you lost? Did you day yes to s dress:)

Today I went into a clothes store and it felt o weird not to e in the plus size area. I kept thinking the sales folks were wondering why I was in the normal area. I almost felt bad that I wasn't in he plus area, is that nuts or what, lol.

Jstrong, that had to feel amazing. How much have you lost? Did you day yes to s dress:)

Hey Ladies!!

Long time no hear lol well I see you've all been doing great! For me I have been hanging in there. Excited for the New Year! This time next year we will all be different physically and I can't wait to see the end results!

Had a lovely NSV today! Went shopping & got several sweaters & 3 pairs of size 18 pants AT THE ACTUAL Old Navy store (you can't get plus size at the stores- it's online only!) I actually tried on pair of size 20s & they were TOO BIG!!!

10/31 Sleeve patient here..

I am down 41 pounds since my surgery, and 72 pounds overall.

I lost 60 pounds between March and September of 2013, totally unrelated to my surgery, but because I found the motivation to do it. Then of course I regained nearly half of it, so my surgery has helped me to RE-LOSE it, plus more!
