    I know... It will be sweet vengeance since 6.5 years ago I went to Fiesta Texas and was too big for the Poltergeist and had to get off.... That was probably the lowest point for me.... I have done nothing but gain and lose and gain weight again over the years so I'm SO happy to get it off for good!

    Thank you! I can't wait..i keep thinking about the things i'm not going to be able to have (Mt Dew, Dr Pepper, etc) which is ridiculous! I know what I will gain will be SO much more than what I can't have!
  14. Yeah it's a great thing, I can't wait to see how our journey is different or similar after the SLEEVE! I stumbled upon this website and im glad i did! Life is gonna change but im ready to face it head on!!!

    Your doctor rocks!!! One of my friends did gastric bypass in January and she said Easter was so weird...it wasn't like she was hungry to want to eat it was just bizarre to be participating at a family celebration without participating in the food consumption. We will experience that with Thanksgiving and Christmas, but it will just make us learn to shift focus. I hope you are wrong about these 2 weeks dragging, lol!! It's so cool to connect with people having the same surgery date, especially a fellow Texan! =)

Finally, the 1yr mark!!!

by RichardY09 on 09-21-2014 at 11:41 AM
Its been 1 year since my surgery, life has changed so much since i decided to take control of my weight. As of now, I am 110lbs down starting at 315lbs day of my surgey, went from wearing a size XXXL shirt and 46/48 pant to a XL/L shirt depending on brand and 36 pant! Life has been a challenge since my weight loss, but a well worth it experience. I’ve been able to ride rollercoaster for the 1st time in 5yrs, shop at "Normal" store and not feel ashamed about trying on clothes and being

I feel like I hit a wall!!!

by RichardY09 on 11-29-2013 at 09:27 PM
I am a little over 10wks out, and i am loving my sleeve, but i think i didnt prepare enough for my sleeve, becuase i find myself throwing up alot lately, especially when i have been experimenting with foods! It bothers me to know i put in all this work and my worst enemy is myself!I dont eat junk or bad food, but i sometimes dont make the best choices. I dont want to be a failure, i just dont know how to kick my self to restart and go back to basics!

Some people surprise me!

by RichardY09 on 10-26-2013 at 07:16 PM
Today was my first day back at my job and everything was going great until a customer asked me if I was sick and that I need to stop loosing weight because it isnt appealing for me to look "FUNNY" working in retail.

Several things ran though my mind that I wanted to say but I stayed quiet and took her critisism and shrugged it off. Doing so, it gave me time to reflect and remind myself that having the sleeve wasnt about changing my looks but saving my life. Yes, I can admit
