I feel great! I was wider than I was tall. I am so happy I have done this. I am blessed beyond everything and I have my life back..food no longer controls me. I have more energy and my quality of life has improved greatly. I no longer take any meds.

I feel fantastic. I have found a new love! Running. I have not been able to jog or run for years. It feels so good to run and lift weights. I have plans to hike the superior hiking trail this summer. My surgery was a tool for me but by no means is it an easy way out. You HAVE to be dedicated to exercise or you get flabby. I'm getting women hitting on me again and it makes me blush since I am so shy.❤️

My doctor told me weight loss would be slower than patients that had the sleeve only. Any other conversions out there finding your weight loss slower than you hoped for?

Yes. I thought I was doing something wrong. I lost 81 pounds in 16 weeks with the lap band. And only 41 pounds in 16 weeks with the sleeve. So much happier with the sleeve. Super happy about the 41 lbs.

I am so much happier too! Haven't thrown up once since my sleeve! And I can eat things that I couldn't with the band like raw vegetables.

I am with you on that. I love it so much more. I was even able to eat an orange. Best decision I ever made.

I learned how to make perfectly boiled shrimp today.

Fill a pot of Water and add your favorite aromatic seasonings (I like old Bay, peppercorns, and lemon). Bring the water to a boil and place shrimp in. Cover the pot with lid and move to cool burner. Set a timer for five minutes, at the end of the five minutes immediately remove from water and place into a ice bath.

I think our entire group is doing great! Of course I read about those folks who lose so much weight at first but over all it is nice to be going down--even if it is slower than we would like. We are all inching our way to goal which is so exciting! I can hardly wait until our first person on here makes it! What a celebration it will be. I don't care if I am the last one- Just as long as I make it--- and I am feeling so much better right now---

Love you guys!

Marcia, I agree. As long as we make it. Everyone is different. We will lose differently. As long as my scale is going down, I am so excited. I have been on this journey for 4 years now. But I am loving it this time around. If I only went with the sleeve the first time and knew how important the support from a group like this is. Don't get me wrong, my husband and family are supporting, but it is different because they are not doing it. They only understand to a point. Love all of you.

I agree- amboyd! It doesn't matter where we are from, how old we are, or how much weight we started at-- we all have a connection because we are on this unique journey together that no one who hasn't done this will understand. I especially love our little group because we can actually keep track of each other and cheer each other on.

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
