    Hi Janet, I feel pretty much how you sound lol. Each day gets a little easier, after care was horrible in MX for sure, I love this forum for help with any worries or questions we have. Hopefully you were able to sort out an easier arrangement with your arthritis pills? That would be painful. I was at Dr. Almanza's clinic in MX. It's so nice to be home recuperating, isn't it

I hope you are doing great and happy to share the same month in being sleeved as you. Hoping that we can inspire each other as we shape shift our lives!

birthday today ... almost 10 months since surgery

by janetm on 08-22-2014 at 10:07 PM


The best present I gave myself this year was my sleeve. I've lost 96 lbs. - still have a few more to lose but I am feeling fabulous. Here's a picture taken almost a year ago last September at my son's wedding. I knew then that it was time to do something. I had been considering the sleeve surgery and when I returned home after the wedding celebrations I booked myself for the next month and was sleeved on November 4th.

Some recent pics ...

by janetm on 07-10-2014 at 09:27 PM
- September 2003

My husband took some pics the other day. He knew I wasn't seeing the dramatic changes that have occurred over the past few months. The scale is moving down very slowly ... when it moves at all. But I can see (with my sweet man's help) that inches are disappearing. I just want to share ... what everyone says about taking measurements is a good idea. It will help you get through the slow times.

Back from 16 day vacation and 5 lbs down!!!!!

I can't believe it! 16 days away and I lost weight - the sleeve is working for me!

I was sleeved at the beginning of November and this is the first vacation since then. I am self-employed and work from home so having full control of what I eat has been easy for me. I generally have what I need in the fridge and pantry so this 16 days away from my controlled environment was a test for me. I visited friends and family so had to have meals that were, for the most part provided.

70 lbs. lost!! Yahoo!!! ... Pictures attached

by janetm on 03-08-2014 at 06:09 AM
Well ... I thought it was time to upload some pictures since today I hit the 70 lbs. lost mark!

My surgery was on Novemebr 4/14. After a rough start I finally settled into life with my new sized stomach and things have been going pretty well since the beginning of January. I've weathered a few stalls and expect there will be more to get through before I reach my goal (150 lbs.). I am so happy to have made the "sleeve" decision. Having struggled for years (I have been overweight
