Met with my nut today for the first time in 2 mo. and she did not recognise me. whoopy. PS that's a good thing. lol She is also learning a lot about the sleeve from my experience. Maybe some day she will pass that info on to someone who needs it.

WOW, for me, this is like another planet. It has been so long since I weighed below 190. I am quietly trying to absorb how this feels. What a trip this sleeve is. I am one of the lucky ones, recovered well, never threw up, tolerate everything but bread, no hunger/ rare cravings usually french fries, goes away quickly because I have tried a few and didn't go well. May this last forever!!!! I just remembered, the last time I weighed 175 I was in my mid thirties 35 yrs. ago. Hot damn. Thanks
