It's been awhile since I have had my gastric sleeve, and I feel like I have found a whole other world.

No, I am not at my goal weight. And yes, I have had the surgery almost a year and a half...

I'm over a year out from the sleeve. My journey continues. I blogged about getting really serious about...

Ive about 100 pounds down now, have been doing CrossFit for five months, and completed my fist race....which happened to be over 8 miles, and and 29 obstacles. Im started a blog documenting my...

I just got through one. Lasted almost one month. Keep doing the things you were instructed to do, and it will come off!

I usually do a bowl of soup, a small dinner salad, or an appetizer. However, even apps can be huge!

We hired movers. Thank Goodness!

Same Dr....Same nurses took care of him. And sleeved EXACTLY six months to the day I was. It's not the best time either, we are moving in three weeks, but he went ahead with it.

Isn't life...

And absolutely LOVED it. And Im joining. I was the largest person there and Im so unbelievably sore today. But Im going back for more, I didn't feel the least bit uncomfortable being there and the...

I can handle the thinning. It's just having it everywhere that makes me crazy!!! On the floor, on my shirt...ugh!

I just complained about this. It's the hormonal shift and the trauma from surgery. I have hair everywhere, it makes me crazy. I can handle my hair thinning but its just having it shed everywhere I...

So this journey so far...

I am not so afraid of being photographed.
I wear make-up now!
I feel pretty a LOT more

I can fit on rides at Disneyland MUCH better!
I can fit...

After all the bitching, fears, crap and roller coaster with ME having the sleeve done, NOW my husband just started the process to get the sleeve. Insurance will approve him given he takes the same...

His ONE regret? That he didn't weight train. Was really, really glad he did the surgery however. Stressed the importance of maintaining protein in your diet every day and exercising. It was a great...

Im now well past my 90 day mark from surgery. Something I have discovered is I can't tolerate a lot of processed food now. If it's "clean" Im fine with it, but a lot of processed food makes me really...

Yes! You will be able to eat like a normal person, it just takes time. Hang in there!

Im finally starting to feel, somewhat normal. I don't think of eating is a trial and error thing. I def eat A LOT less than before it, but Im now getting more and more comfortable with the sleeve and...

Thank you so much for all of your responses.

Im pretty sure this is insecurity. I have been married to him over 16 years, but we have been very overweight/obese the entire union. I knew going into the situation this would "shake things up"....I...

Mainly, how your partner is after you have been sleeved?

I had my surgery in Dec. My husband was "angry with me about the timing", because I had it near Christmas, so he wouldn't really help me...

Doesn't sound right

Im OH SO HAPPY about my 45 pound weight loss...but literally last week my hairdresser told me I didn't seem to have any hair loss like she has seen with other WLS people. A few days later, I started...

Sometimes, your hungry because you need nutrition.

Im about 5'7 and my goal weight is between 10-20 pounds below your current weight? I don't mean to be judgmental either but are you even considered obese? This is a very serious procedure that can...

My husband and I really had a tough time, and he was upset about the timing of the surgery (mid Dec), and how I just went through it anyway despite his concerns. However, he is more understanding now...

The sleeve for me was a cake walk compared to my two c sections, but everyone is different. My husband was irritated with me getting the surgery when I did (on 12/17) and didn't help much, and didn't...
