Hey, I was wondering how you're doing! Everything ok?

Hi, just stopped by to say how wonderful you look - and I adore your profile photo!

Hey there stopping by to see how your doing and how your Christmas and New Years was? I made it with gaining two pounds but losing it all plus in a day crazy I know I feel wonderful still find foods I can't digest and now have a new allergy ugh to all nuts ... Makeshift shakes difficult all else is going wonderful hope your well vicki

Hi everyone. My name is Jane and I was sleeved on Oct 15th 2012. I am new to this and to the board but what a life saver it is. I don't know anyone else who has done this and although I am losing weight and basically feel good I have had a few panic moments when I ate too much to fast and threw up. I am just 5 and a half weeks out but couldn't handle boiled cauliflower or scallops. I ate a tiny amount but ate fast. I love all your suggestions and hope to become a regular on this web site....

I'd like to be 140. I was 268 at my highest weight but for my height and bone structure I think 140 would be a good, healthy size. So far I have lost 48 lbs so I am SO close to the 50lb mark and I can't WAIT! You are SO close to your goal, that's wonderful!! I have been working out regularly and doing yoga for stretching and toning. I also dry brush my body every day- you use a stiff brush to massage the skin from neck to feet- it helps to redistribute the fat under the skin and keep things toned. I really think it works!

Dr. Tishler did it with Hartford Specialists- I try to make the monthly group meeting but I work in New Haven and getting from NH to Hartford in an hour in rush hour traffic is sometimes too much for me to handle after a hard day of work! Did you have yours done at Hartford Hospital as well?

I feel completely fantastic- I've lost 46lbs so far and its been about 75 days since I began pre-op. I'm off all medications for diabetes, high blood pressure and PCOS which is a miracle to me! I work out at Planet Fitness (boring I know haha) and play with my dog and my nephew to keep active! I bet you keep busy and active just with your family's daily activities alone!!

Hi! I live in CT too- it's really nice to see someone around my area and age!! What a spectacular family you have!

Hi Erik havent been on in awhile so busy cant believe my energy. Im down about 85 pounds 65 from surgery date. still have about 55 to go had surgery in july which set me back a bit havent been able to lift or go to the gym that was just cleared last week so am in the ymca now daily need to tone this mess up now. can i ask what excersises your doing for arms mine look horrible my stomach isnt to bad seems to be pretty firm hoping i wont need any surgery and can do it all in the gym. how are you? ive been at the same loss for about a week now any suggestion I still eat very little and have a hard time with the protein ughh no more shakes lol....vicki

Thanks. Met with the Psychologist today. She did'nt commit me so I guess that's a good thing. Everything went well, said there would be no issues on her end. Start with the dietician for a three month diet. One step at a time.

Congrats on your milestone. You guys are great incentives. Just starting this process hope I do as well as you.

Very good Erik. How are you? I'm not as down as you or many other younger more active types but it will be 6 months this weekend and I'm down 95 pounds... Feel very well and have a new job that is busting my butt and thank god for this weight loss or could never do it. Even so it is difficult to make it through some of the 14 hour days but does get easier with each passing day. Health is great, knees are easing with the arthritis pain but tylenol is my crutch there. Wishing you and your family a good summer. Take care and thanks for asking!!!

Hi, Erik.
Just wanted to see how you are doing. Hope all is well and look forward to your update!

Best,
Kelly
