Congrats on the approval. Hope everything goes well for you. Not for nothing- but there is no way in hell that I would have been walking around anywhere with that paper vest. The only way is if the the techs would have stripped down as well to see how they liked being paraded around. I would be lodging some sort of complaint about the level of care, lack of common sense and compassion in that office.

Do you want to be Scale Pals? We could record weight every Wednesday and report it (truthfully) to one another either here or via text messaging with a picture of the scale! it's a different form of motivation. I'm right where you are weight-wise and looking to take off 30 more pounds. If not interested, just let me know. I'm looking for whatever will work!

GIRL! My hubs loves me any which way as long as I'm his. I however don't like the skinny bony arse that I have now. I have to get in the tub to shave right? I just feel better to soak and let the hairs get as close as a shave as possible. Well as I do this, shifting from one cheek to the other, man I feel the difference! lol... More than anything my hubs wanted me healthy and happy. And that's all he cares about. But I can understand the fear. I believe your hubs will love you no matter what. Although that boob job is pretty darn appealing even more so now to me than before... hmmm.... (hey I like them full too! and they are mine!) lol

We all know you will. Good luck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It very well could be. You know those éclairs that the grocery store has - the ones at the bakery? They come in a plastic container w/ about 5 large ones? Ya - they are also tasteless. Well, when I am having a bad day or an emotional one - I find myself at the grocery store - buying them - eating them in the car on the way home - then throwing the box away before going inside – then becoming upset that I ate them all. I have done this about 20+ times in the last 19 years. It wasn't until I was in therapy that I realized it was a connection to my mom. When I was younger, we used to go to a real bakery, and she would share an éclair with me. I guess it was my way of re-connecting with her subconsciously.

Gas, yes all the time, this is very normal. My husband says I am defiantly not lady like in that respect.

Hello, i think you're doing great. I have gas really bad after I eat. My husband thinks it has to do with the new stomach being smaller and how the food passes through. I never asked anyone about this but at least there is no smell.

Girl, I was sleeved back in June, and after about 5-7 days I was hungry....I swore I could just run a tube down my throat and pump those liquids in cause my arm was so sore from lifting the cup ALL THE TIME! I'd take 2-3 sips, be full as a tick on a fat dog........and then 5 minutes later starving to death!!! My surgeon laughed at me (for some reason, I get that response a lot) but encouraged me to keep drinking and sipping, things would even out........and they did. And maybe all that lifting toned up my biceps a little too.

Thanks for being honest and sharing in order to help others : ) I applaud you !

I've been following you for sometime now and I am so happy to see your changes! You look great! Keep it up.
