So happy for you! It is amazing what the sleeve has given to me!! I have more energy, more balance, and the confidence to wear shorts again! I love hiking and biking and I too wouldn't have done much...

Although you can lose a lot of weight without exercising, but I started exercising about 2-3 months before. Walking on the treadmill basically. But this helped me stay in the routine. That is half of...

Hang in there! It is sad that people have to get snarky! But they are definitely out there. I would let her know that her comment hurt.

You look great, it looks like the front of a magazine!

If it was negative towards your surgery,, do not let it cloud your mind. You will do fine~ actually great! You need to focus on you! Focus on the things you want to achieve! Be it your weight loss,...

I think your body does have a comfort zone/weight... I have been holding steady for about 2 mths at my goal weight... now that everything has settled, I would like to lose at first 5 pounds then...

Congrats! I too love the feeling! I love when people aren't sure it is me!

Congrats on the weight loss! Sorry to hear of the illnesses. I have had a bad head cold, and haven't gone to the gym this week. Never thought I would say this, but I miss the gym ! :( Crazy! Don't...

I do think we are all different. I drove because El Paso was closer to Denver and much more affordable to drive instead of flying. But that be said, I drove in 2 hour intervals then hubby drove the...

Great Job! Just keep up the great work! You look great!

I use the Nature's Made Dissolving D3 & Multivitamins, the B12 Sublingual. Now I take a calcium supplement. I was told that since we don't get enough vitamins in our food, we have to supplement.. I...

Hello fellow Sleevers. I can’t believe that it has been a whole year since I was sleeved. I have lost 84 pounds! I seem to sit steady at this weight, but would like to lose a few more, just because…...

I am sorry you feel that no one is helping you! I don't know much about Medicare and having a secondary insurance. My insurance wouldn't pay for it, therefore I paid out of pocket. I ended up going...

Granted I am not even at one year, so I don't have a lot of advice that I can offer... But I am happy that you were able to recognize some bad habits, and turn things around! Great job!

Sherrie just don't get discouraged if the insurance doesn't approve it. I didn't have the comorbidities so I paid out of pocket. Basically I wasn't fat enough or unhealthy enough... which I beg to...

Hi Sherrie, I started this at the same weight almost... 214 :( and only 5'5" so almost like I said... I now weigh 130 and not only do I feel great, I am so much more healthy! I didn't have a lot of...

I don't miss anything!! It sucked censoring every photo! it sucked going shopping... and blaming it on the brand that it didn't fit... I love not feeling pain in my body, with no real reason to be in...

I haven't been on this site for a little while, other than reading a few posts here and there. Do all your measurements. and add a few carbs. I don't do the whole calorie intake, carb intake, or any...

This was also my first Thanksgiving since getting sleeved in February. All went pretty well. I make a Salvadorean recipe, that is a pork loin, with carrots, capers, garbanzos, green olives, potatoes,...

Depends on the person and if I want to share. I am not too secretive.

Yeah it helps with shrinking the liver, and makes it easier on the doctor. Also making it easier on you. Good luck!!

You look great Terrie!
