I'm SO happy for you Kelly! I've seen you on this forum a lot and you are always so positive and encouraging to others. With the attitude you have I think you will rock your sleeve. I really believe...

I agree with you ladies. tinman is the bomb!! I started following his advice early on and I'm so glad I did. I lost 120 pounds in eight months and I am proud to say I haven't gone up or down more...

I'm with Kathy. Chubbynomore cracked me up! With a moniker like that you are sure to be VERY successful!

I'm re posting this post from a thread titled "Help need your help plateaus been lasting way too long" This is the post tinman wrote in response to this thread.

Drink enough fluid (and it doesn't...

Hey Annette, We should hook up again after the new year! Have you pm'd tinman and had him review what you are currently eating and get some advice about your stalls? Congrats on getting to...

I haven't been here for a while. I need to update photos etc. I got married in October and everything has been crazy with preparations for the wedding, the holidays and life in general.

I can tell...

Katrina,
I'm so so sorry to hear about what is going on in your life right now. I will keep you in my prayers. Please let us know how you are doing.

Hi Cindy- I have taken a little hiatus myself from the board. I am "lurking" out there sometimes and I still see a lot of my favorite sleevers posting. I don't know much about the five day pouch...

I really like Ann's straight forward insight and I think tinman is a guru when it comes to advice on wls, keeping yourself accountable and enjoying your life at the same time.

I lost 100 pounds in...

Andy,

Thanks for starting this thread.



I have had the same kind of comments many times. I am a size four and I have been the same weight (up or down a pound or two once in a while) for...

Great job Duane!! Thanks for keeping us updated

That's right about a pound a day. What a great job you are doing! Congrats!

Annette, I'm so sorry to hear about your setback. I was wondering why I hadn't seen you on here for awhile. You have such a can do attitude and the perfect mindset to get to your goal weight. This...

I got my blood work test results back 4/19/15. tinman and I eat pretty similarly, however, I do not drink and I eat about 60 grams of protein/day. I was told by my Dr that this is plenty of protein...

Thanks for a great post to get so many people thinking!

Tinman is my hero too! I'm so glad I listened to him almost from the start. About three months out I created my own plan. I never did stall...

Wonderful!! So happy for you.

Congrats Ann!! I hope we get to see before and after pics

Congrats Annette. Your wonderful sleeved journey has begun!!

I was very open and continue to be open about my wls. Since everyone was "in the know" I thought I knew how everyone felt about MY surgery. I didn't let the naysayers get to me. What did get to me...

Even after a year I still get that gnawing "hunger" pain now and then. What I found out soon after my surgery is sometimes gas can mimic the feeling of hunger. During this year I have discovered when...

Wonderful job!! I love it when I see great posts like yours. It just increases my belief we can all do this and do it forever!

To everyone out there getting ready for surgery,

From my own experience, (disclaimer-this is MY journey-everyone is different) I haven't met a single person yet who wasn't nervous before their...
