Good luck! Please keep us posted.
I hear you Sharon & Lisa -- we've been in touch out in the "real" world.
Not sure what changed her, but it surely has.
You can do this! I am up 8 pounds -- and I know I can get it back off. Keep posting!
Welcome! This is the best way to learn how to use the tool of VGS! It works, when gou work it!
So glad you're on the journey!
Sharon! Congratulations on your 7 years of living life fully!
You are a wonderful source of inspiration, compassion and truth speaking!
Hurray for your seven years!
Oh my goodness! Hoping it passes quickly. We did the Shingrix (lifetime 2 shots) this year. Hoping it truly works. Lots of prayers & hugs!
SO good to hear from each of you, even if it's not all good!
Kenson, my middle daughter is a teacher - they have the stupidest school board in America (that's saying something); on the up side,...
Just checking in; we've been busy trying to figure out the best plan for mum; she turned 99 in May, and is in good health but had to stop driving (boy is she mad) and her mobility is not good. All 3...

Love hookydad comments! I'm 3 years out, and I once in a while find myself making choices that I know are not in keeping with the sleeve as tool.
I do weigh daily, and track my food so...
I still don't quite recognize me in the mirror - not so much the weight as suddenly a little old lady is looking back at me. A healthy, trim little old lady. No longer feel (nor I hope look)...
Welcome; I did have some hair loss (but more due to a second surgery) than the sleeve, and no constipation....everyone's different :)
Bold and brave, Kristi!
regarding vitamins, the same as KiwiGal....except my solution (even at 3 years out) are the chewable gummy vitamins. My stomach was very finicky way before sleeve, so too many pills in a day and I'm...
