Even when we may feel there is no progress when we stall, the good news is we ARE still changing and progressing. It wasn't until I ran across a pic of me from January 2nd that I had a "WHOAAAAA!" moment.
Be encouraged, folks! 5 weeks, 28 lbs, and a 10 day stall behind me...I see the change!image.jpgimage.jpg

Re: Plateau and all!! (before & after pics)
Thank you, ScouterJim!
I really do feel great! My new stomach is doing what it is supposed to do, and I'm not having any complications. I'm excited!
P.S. I am a Canuck, as well....born in Edmonton, transplanted to Oklahoma.

Looking at your pictures makes me feel confident that the sleeve works! You look wonderful!
