I hit my goal weight last fall and I meet with a plastic surgeon the end of this month. I'm planning on having the surgery the beginning of December, I've got to save up 2 weeks of vacation time. ...

I'm at my goal weight but this is my first Christmas with my sleeve and I have to admit I've started obsessing about food. Not eating it but it's almost like I'm afraid of it, the thought of cookies...

I reached my goal weight :) It has been a long journey but so worth it.

I weigh my food on a scale stopping at 4 ounces. I drink a lot of water every day and that really helps with the head hunger. I was a grazer before my surgery and have found that drinking water...

I had my surgery in January this year and just told someone I work with today. When I had my surgery I told everyone at work I was going on vacation for 2 weeks. I wasn't up for the judgement or...

Welcome. I love this website everyone is so willing to help. Protein is key to keeping your hair. After surgery I could have cream soup with no chunks and cream of wheat made with extra liquid. I...

I've been asked by those that know I've had the surgery how I will be able to stop losing weight so I don't lose too much weight. Although I still have 30 to 40 pounds to go it has planted the...

I LOVE my sleeve and I thank God that I was able to make this life saving choice for me and my kids. I ran into someone I haven't seen in a couple of months, she works in the same building as me but...

I was a huge chocolate fan before my surgery. I do love the 100 calorie snacks when I crave something sweet. I had a piece of brownie about 1/2 inch by 2 inches the other day and it wasn't as good...

When I hit 200 I wanted to scream it from the roof tops. You worked hard to get there and you should be proud. Congratulations

I'm 6 months out and 76 pounds lighter. I still only eat about 3 to 4 ounces of food per meal making sure to weigh my food. At first I felt like I was deprived especially when making meals for my...

I got my sleeve January 12th and I'm down 66 pounds, only 49 more and I'll be at my goal.

Like you I was nervous and excited at the same time. On the way to the hospital I was so nervous I almost got sick. Looking back this was one of the best decisions I have made. I feel better about...

Congrats, I remember the first day my weight started with a 1 I moved the scale all around the floor to double and triple check it was really starting with a 1. I was so excited, my weight hasn't...

Mine is a 36, I had watched a bunch of procedures online and asked my surgeon what size she used before I had the surgery. I'm now about 4 months out and have no real desire to eat. I'd much rather...

I've been looking for a good lotion. What is the brand?
Thanks

I can't wait until I am at my goal weight to get some work done. I also plan to get the tattoo I've wanted for years when I hit my goal.

When I was on my liquid diet I drank lots and lots of water along with eating ice. Eating the ice helped me with wanting to eat all the time. My advice is to take it one day or even one hour at a...

I only told my kids and my sister. I didn't tell the people I work with because I didn't want to be the topic of conversation at break. Everyone at work knows I'm on a diet and have reduced my...

My insurance company also required the 6 month supervised diet. I lucked out as I had already been seeing my regular doctor for 9 months while I was on phentermine. Once the surgeon's office...

I came home with prescription pain meds and did take a 1/2 a pill every 6 hours which was much lower than the dosage on the bottle. One thing you might want to consider picking up is a pill cutter...

Will you sis be mad at you if you have someone go instead of her? I was so ready for my surgery I would have taken a taxi if I needed to. I had my ex take me and he brought me home from the...

I don't think I'm crabby but if you ask my son he will tell you I've been extra crabby. People seem to be getting on my last nerve faster than before. I think part of it is due to no caffeine.

When I first went to the seminar I was sure I wanted the band until I got more information the surgeon shared that the weight loss with the band was much slower with band and that not everyone will...

I haven't laughed so hard in really long time.
