    Hey buddy! How are you doing? I've been thinking about you. I hope you're doing well. I've been struggling lately, but still losing weight. I've lost another 10 lbs since my birthday last month, thank goodness. So I shouldn't be complaining. But it's just been hard. I finally have a FB page! I'll email that to you. Talk to ya soon!

One Year Ago...

by Java Girl on 07-16-2014 at 04:07 PM
How time flies when you are finally living life rather than simply existing! This time last year I had just entered the sleeved side and never could I imagine how amazing the year would be!

Don't get me wrong, I have had plenty of struggles...from being hospitalized due to dehydration, inability to eat or keep anything in for the first 3 months, gallbladder surgery due to rapid weight loss and the dreadful remaining skin....I would do it all again in a heartbeat!

5 pounds to goal!

by Java Girl on 04-13-2014 at 03:59 PM
9 months ago I never would have imagined being 5 pounds away from having lost 100 pounds, yet here I am...so close...yet so far! I am certain this is going to be the toughest 5 pounds to lose! I have been stalled since gallbladder surgery in January and the scale has finally started to move again! The good news is that although the scale hasn't moved, I have gone from a size 12 to a 6! Any sleevers at goal with words of wisdom to get those last 5 pounds off? Will it ever be enough once I get

Sleeve still working :)

by Java Girl on 03-19-2014 at 04:27 PM
I have been indulging in a lot of slider foods lately...seems since my gallbladder surgery I have turned into a carb craving monster! I decided to do the 5 day pouch test, and even though I am only on day 3 of 5 (soft protein), my sleeve DEFINITELY still works! Yay! I was able to eat about 1/4 c of tuna before that forgotten tight feeling set in. I am so happy to know I didn't break or stretch my sleeve! It has given me a resolved determination to stick to proper eating and get these last 12

Dehydration

by Java Girl on 09-22-2013 at 10:21 PM
Hello all sleeve or soon to be sleeved friends!

I am just over 2 months out and have lost 50 pounds. This message is just a friendly reminder of the importance of staying hydrated. I was visiting a girlfriend in our local hospital yesterday, and while taking the elevator down, fainted and was found unconscious on the floor. I was taken to the ER where they did an ECG, lots of bloodwork, and an ultrasound to determine if I had a blood clot, which thankfully I did not. What it came
