:cool:Hello my sleeve family. It has been a little while since I have posted. I just wanted to give everyone an update. My weight is coming off slowly but dr. says to keep doing what I'm doing...

Thank you for sharing your story. This was a touchy subject for me as well. My husband and I would go for months without being intimite. The longest was 9 months. He would say his mind wasn't in it...

First, congratulations! Looks like you are doing well. Second, if he stood you up then its his loss. Consider it making room for something better.

Wow! congratulations!!. My weight loss has been slow since surgery but I am not complaining. As long as the numbers keep going down. Man I can't wait to be a size 10, but being a size 8 or 6 would...

I love Just Dance 3. It is all Cardio but good. I also just got Zumba Fitness 2 for the Wii. A lot of fun and a good workout.

It happened to me too a couple of times when I drank Atkins shakes. This was closer to my surgery. I'm almost 2 months out and now I drink the shakes without a problem.

Hello everyone. I just wanted to wish everyone a great holiday. Also, I wanted to thank my GS family for giving me a great gift, which is your support. It goes to show that a gift doesn't have to be...

That's wonderful! Congratulations! Treat yourself to something nice. You deserve it. I look forward to joining the onederland club. Merry Christmas!

@ tcady. Thank you. I realize I do beat myself up a lot and that stresses me out and then it makes the eating choices worse.

Since surgery I have actually lost 22 lbs. If I include weight loss from pre op diet then the total is 33 lbs. Now, with that being said, I believe I am ruining everything. I find that although I...

Hi
I took six weeks and I'm glad I did. It took me over 4 weeks to be able to do things without getting exhausted, which my Dr. did tell me about and actually advised me to take the 6 weeks if I...

Hello Sleevers
Today I went for my 6 week post op check up. Dr. says I am doing well. I have not experienced any issues regarding my sleeve, which I'm so happy about. I can eat almost anything in...

That is so great! Congratulations!

Hi Gwen
My pre op diet was all liquid. Protein shakes, broth ( chicken, beef, vegetable), sugar free jello, sugar free popcicle. One thing that my Dr. allowed me to have was to add veggies to the...

My surgeon told me the surgery was 3-4 hours just for the sleeve. I can't remember exactly how long it actually was. Initially I thought I would be out of the hospital the next day but ended up...

You look great! Congratulations!

That was beautiful. Thank you so much for sharing. I am a romantic.

Thanks for the post. I have a confession. Yesterday my daughter asked me if I wanted some of her pringles. At first I declined. She left the pringles on the table and I mentally faught with myself...

Wow! Congratulations. Your post is an inspiration. This week I needed something to keep me encouraged. Thanks.
