I love your attitude. I knew if my insurance didn't approve me, I would have also found another way. Keep your head up, and I "hope" you have sleep apnea

Wow you look absolutely gorgeous and you are losing so fast! I almost 6 months out and I'm down 60lbs. Don't get me wrong because I'm proud of my progress but you are doing awesome. Keep up the good work!

a little bit of 50 shades of grey there! lol or speculation thereof.... lol

Looking good!

It happens, the IV fluid takes a while to get out of the system, but dont be surprised if you lose 10 pounds in a week

You are absolutely right. I believe my surgery is a God given opportunity to overcome my failed attempts - an answer to much prayer. He is giving me a chance and I must have the courage to make this choice to reign in my excesses.

I'm 4 weeks post surgery & having the same issue with how to put meals together. My Husband & I went to breakfast this morning. My first meal out! I had oatmeal & It was really good, but now I have enough left overs for all week! I worried about what to eat. I need to go thru the sample diets they gave me.

Wow 6 weeks! Sounds like things are going well for you!

I see no shame in saying I made a decision to improve my quality of life and to opt. for longevity! Our co-morbidities were killing us so why be embarrased for make a positive step towards eliminating one of the key factors? I definitely don't think its the "easy" way out, to me its a "brave" decision. I have tried almost all of my adult life , I have always been on a diet and to no avail never saw my problems cease. So for those who want to pass judgement I reply , "I hope you never have to walk a day in my shoes, because I wish this on no one!" Even with the sleeve its not "easy" we do work at learning our new patterns and learning to work with what we have! Two fingers, One Love ! CAMMYD*:-)

Good for you! My opinion is that we ought to "out" this treatment for obesity and have it accepted for what it is - treatment for an issue that interferes with our being able to live a full life. If I remember right, it used to be that being treated for cancer was kept hush-hush and was thought to be embarassing. Illness and disease are a fact of life and getting treatment should be supported as taking life-affirming action - because it is! Won't happen until we who are getting the treatment talk about it as a matter-of-fact solution to a problem that millions share. End of sermon!
