Nice to see the men rocking the sleeve!!!!!!!!!!!!!!;)
Isn't wonderful being a year out? Never did we expect to see such amazing results and have the confidence that THIS TIME it will stay off! You look marvelous! Cute outfit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ditto on all the above advice. Take your pain meds too. But call your doc and double check with him/her.
It will take time for your mind to adjust to the new normal. It is a far better "normal" than what we did before. Go easy on yourself. It is a journey that you will be glad you took. But I would...
The first month can be pretty tough as you adjust to your new tummy and recover from major surgery. You need to heal and not worry about the weight loss...it WILL HAPPEN!. I know it is hard not to...
All your hard work has paid off Jewel! Thanks for sharing and being such an inspiration to all of us!
Love this post! I am still smiling as I type this! :D Plus I am sitting in my recliner with my little dog beside me because we can both fit now!!!!! ;)

Thanks everyone! I am back up to 123lbs! Feels super weird to want to gain weight. Gotta love the sleeve life!!!!
Have been maintaining between 123- 125lbs since July but ended up sick the last 3 weeks and went down to 119lbs! So I have been trying to eat more to gain a few pounds back. Never in my life have I...
I have added bread,nuts and even ice cream but I cannot eat very much of it. I am trying to eat more often but it just feels really weird to be trying to eat...never thought I would have THAT ...
That is one of my favorite nsv's is the "you look younger" comment. I had no idea that was going to happen...nice huh?
You might wish to read the band to sleeve revision forum to get a banded person perpective. I orginally was headed for the band (did not know about VSG) but the more I learned about it the less I...

Sit. Stay. There will always be a few rude comments made. Some are made and the person may not even realize they were being offensive. I believe there are far more wonderful people here. Don't let a...
Well I am glad you posted this cuz I was wondering how I was going to bring this subject up myself. What a weird predicament to be in huh? I am not trying to lose anymore but I too keep dropping...
I am ready for people to stop making comments. I have stayed the same weight now for 3 months. I am doing fine...get on with your own lives people and worry about your own weight( that is addressed...
Yep! When I was one month out I had difficulty too. Ask your doc for Zofran to stop the nausea. Good luck on your journey! You will love the sleeve life!
When my dachshund Angel and I can both sit in the recliner together instead of her on the armrest like she used too!
You will enjoy the sleeve side of life very soon!
I do not get why people think they have the right to say anything about how much you should weigh. I have never thought of telling someone they should lose or gain. If they told me what they were...
I use massage therapy for my rewards now instead of food!
