    Hey,

    I would love to talk to you more. I am new to this site and currently a failed lap band patient thinking about getting the sleeve. I'm 23 and kind of nervous and concerned but think it will be totally work tit. I would love to hear your thoughts and a little more about what happened first after surgery, how you get, recovery time, etc...

    Hope to hear from you soon.

    Thanks, You look GREAT!!
  3. Between 7 and 8 months and just about there. I admit I haven't been eating the best or exercising like I am suppost to but that hasn't seemed to damper me on the scale. I am waiting for New Years to really hit the weights hard. I weigh 165 right now and 160 was my goal, I am about a size 9,10 or 11 so in my eyes I am happy. I look healthy and feel wonderful and I still wouldnt be surprized if after New Year's I didnt go below my goal although I dont want to lose too much I like my body the way that it is. I am learning to except that it will never be model perfect but Nikki (that's me) is good enough. I am just really enjoying life right now and want to wish you all the best and Merry Christmas too!!!! Dont ever give up on yourself

Sleeved or not sleeved:
I have had a gastric sleeve.
Biography:
I am married with one child. I was sleeved on April 27th 2012 and am learning something new about this journey and myself everyday. I was 250lbs on the day of surgey and just couldnt fight it anymore. I have struggle since childhood, just like alot of others here and I pretty much gave up on myself and my weigh so instead of living in a closet (Like I wanted to) I turned to the Sleeve. They choice was hard, I had lots on conflict on making my decision but finally, with my amazing husbands support, I decided I was worth more!!

Just over 1 year!

by Blondethinker on 05-16-2013 at 04:19 PM
It has been just over 1 year for me! I started out at 250 and now stay just under 160-155 and I LOVE IT! This surgery has been life changing for me. I go places and do things I never would have. I love to go dancing! I always thought I would, just wouldnt do it, was to ashamed. I have a 2 piece bathing suit this summer too! Ahhhhh I am so excited!
I do have some worries, I think I eat to much but I keep a close eye on my scale and I make up for it in the treadmill. Its amazing what you can

I have questions for those who have been sleeved for awhile already about the next level??

by Blondethinker on 02-18-2013 at 02:37 PM
I am almost 10 months out and have been at my goal of 160 for about 3 months now. That means I have lost 90lbs and thats about where I stay, I would love to lose maybe 10 more but really after 90 I wont complain.
Now my question is has anyone taking there weight loss to the next level and started to get really fit?? I started P90X last week and I am very excited and I was wondering if anyone else had success with programs or trainers.
Everyone reminds me how far I have come but

Goal!!!!!

by Blondethinker on 01-09-2013 at 12:02 PM
I made it I lost 90lbs and went from 250 lbs to 160lbs in just over 8 monthes!!! I am very proud of myself but I still have a ways to go. I was a TIGHT 18, just would not wear a 20 and now I am a 10, a 10!!! that is amazing in my eyes and I look healthy.
I set my goal for 160 cause that seemed impossible at the time but now I think I am gonna go for 145-150 just for some safe room. I still have to watch myself on my eating I think I eat to much to fast and I need to go back to basics,

You will get there

So I just can't help it. On the days I feel the best I have to share it with yall!! I am over 6 months out and still working towards goal but I feel so successful My little sister cleaned out her closet and I can wear her clothes This is such an awesome accomplishment especially since I have been looking to her as a statement of beauty for years, she was homecoming queen and a cheerleader and I always felt like we were from two different planets.
I am so happy with my sleeve, I love

5 months out!!

by Blondethinker on 09-27-2012 at 12:35 PM
Today I am 5 months post opts and 70 lbs down, I am very excited about that!!! I though I might be able to give some of you in your first months some pointers.

First...it will come off, don't freak out when you stall. You will need to challenge yourself into figuring out what will get you losing again. Mostly I say this because I just don't want you to feel like you’re the only person who this wont work for because I think we all feel like that at some point.

Second...This
