I will post a new pic of me, as soon as I step in front of the camera! I started this journey being a 3x and now I am a size 16 and am totally out of Lane Bryant and the Womens department. I just...

Hey GS folks. I just wanted to drop a quick line to say how happy I am with my new sleeve. I am 6 months out and am flirting with onederland. 200.1 lbs..It mocks me, laughs at me, but I don't care...

it took me a while before i could enjoy the taste of coffee again. even now i drink hot tea with splenda during the week and drink espresso with lots of 1% milk. I am 6 months out.... Do you...

I have lost 15 lbs. in 5 weeks. I have been happy with the feeling of fullness after eating 4-5 bites too. It is a bit of a psych game. You will never pig out again, or eat one more bite, let alone...

oops, I meant--THEY are NOT towing the line....There is a 85% success rate for the sleeve--somewhere out there are 15% pissed off people who can't binge eat anymore...or are eating ice cream and cake...

Bueller.....Bueller.....anyone? anyone?

I have no regrets, I was on a death march, and now all my health problems are gone--5 days after my surgery. The thing is, I am sure there are people who have regrets--they are probably the ones NOT...

she had the R&Y about 2.5 years ago. We can do this. We all can!

breath. tomorrow your new life begins. you will be out of sorts for about a week and then you will feel yourself again. In a very short time, you will be able to eat regular food in much smaller...

anyone interested in joining a virtual walking group? Its simple. buy a pedometer, strap it on and walk. I think 10,000 is the golden rule for daily steps towards health. So, at the end of the day,...

I will have more info on this mystery lady when I call my friend this afternoon. Clearly she works out--check out the gun show on this lady!

My friend sent me this pic of the woman she knows that was 300+ lbs before she had bariatric surgery. I don't know how long ago she had it--I would guess at least 3 years ago. I am sure she had ups...

yes, yes, yes!

Congratulations on your new life! I was never swollen from the surgery, I would post this question to get answers from other sleevers. If you read even just this months posts- under new posts, all...

pedometer is a great idea!

i was on a full liquid diet--posted on the recipe page. your stomach is healing so take it slowly. I couldn't drink more than a small cup of water the first day. good for you. jello, sugar free...

I hate exercising. I hate gyms and treadmills. I had most success in the past when I actually didn't exercise but walked or biked wherever i could. I also kepts busy and off the couch. If I could...

woohoo! you can only go down from here
:-)

I agree with Dana, you lost 15 lbs in one month--you should be really satisfied. As far as exercising or walking--30 minutes is not a lot of time. Walk during your lunch break, after work, before...

Come on! It's TGIF!!:cool:

the only other thing i would add is to watch out--these people will unconsciously try to foil you. Offering you more food, eating unhealthy things, etc. You may have to limit time with family and...
