Welcome to the club! You have done it and look fantastic! Soooo young . It is okay nothing for a few months, you are rockin that sleeve and living life...honestly does not look like you need to lose anymore. Good news is you are happy and look great.

All good, thanks for sharing. I think I will try them this week. Currently only using premiere and would like a change

Thanks ladies, appreciate the kind words. The capri's...well they really "fit" if you know what I mean. EEK, but it was soooo fun to pull on a pair of size 12

Jaymzee, thanks what do you think calories are for each bar? Carbs? Appreciate your recipe

OH..... MAMA! Wow you look fantastic! WOW! Congratulations on the great Jo.

Me too...too fast or too much, flash but, I AM in menopause . Each night I "poof" when I lay down in bed.

Hi Dave, I am 8 months out and 100 lbs down, during my rapid weight loss period, I discovered my stomach did care for bread, skim milk or Greek yogurt. I never got sick, it just felt odd. Today, all is well but I just make wise choices. I use soy in my coffee and not milk, if I have bread whole grain and I Always eat Protein first. It is now my lifestyle. I had a piece of chocolate cake on my sons birthday this month, and it was great. I just did not eat half the cake . The VSG has been one of the best decisions I have ever made for myself and family. Good luck to you, I hope you have a fantastic journey as well!

Merges, I slept in a recliner for a day then moved to the bed with lots of pillows, behind me for support and in front where I put the drain bulb. Don't forget it is okay to use your pain meds and sip, sip, sip your fluids. Then walk it will help move the gas from your body.

Cheri, you are so beautiful. I posted once you woul be a great parent, subsequently learned you already ARE great parents. So congrats on the pregnancy and all of you successes with your sleeve!

Hey Ashley, I do know I can definitely eat more now, I sometimes long for that "I can only eat 2tbs" feeling. But overall realize I am within 30 lbs of goal. Weight watchers would have me weighing 145 but I am not sure that is realistic for me. How tall are you? How have you slowed? I am thinking I may need to go and do Diva's bootcamp. Juli, can't wait to hear how it goes, keep us posted!

Nice to hear Juli. You will have to let us know what happens. I am still very large busted, but seriously there is no fullness and the girls, well to say they have gone south would be close. They are more like flippers I would love you get reduction/lift but not sure of qualification now. A few years ago I was too fat according to insurance company. Good luck!

Hi Susan, the iPad app, as you know Is different than going Through safari. The iPad VST has frozen up on me twice, it just spins and does not launch. I just reloaded the application and it worked. Whilele you are here, can you tell me how to post my before and after pics in my profile using my iPad? I have spent hours trying to figure it out, and honestly it is like the system will not let me chose the file to upload. I have tried to create an album and that does not work either? Thanks for any help here appreciate it.

This was supposed to read oh my, so beautiful! What an inspiration, good job! Sometimes...I am just no good on this iPad application....

Oh my! What an inspiration... great job!

100 percent how are you doing? All Banana Babes, where is everyone and how are you? I am happy and living! I am losing VERY slowly now but, that is okay by me! Gino and everyone hope you are all well!

I have had issues as well. I removed it the other day and reinstalled, this was the second time?

Jas, so wonderful to feel your smile and see your success. I know you still have the residual pain of your leak be UAE you went through so much and were so upset, but I am confident with your weighloss success, have just extended your life. Doesn't it feel so incredible to truly live? I remember when Favordone sent you flowers, that is support and we are all still here to support, before, during and after! By the way, how did you lead the before and after pictures? I just can't seem to find what I have to do? Take care....

Hi there, I am 5' 10", started process at 303 and today weigh 198. Goal is 170 and am 8 1/2 months post surgery. The bulk of the weight came off the first 5-6 months. It has taken me 3 months to lose 18 lbs, but I keep moving forward and exercise for 40 minutes 3-4 times a week, always get all of my Water in. I definitely feel more hungry now, I still track carbs, calories daily through MFP. I think part of the reason for the slow down is I am getting closer and honestly, I am eating more (4 oz of Protein first ALWAYS). I go to see my surgeon next week for check-up, so we will see what they think. My calories stay under 1200, with a rare occasion they have gone up over the line but, by no more than 100. My son turned 17 last week and I had a small piece of his b-day cake but do not eat Cookies, pie etc. Not many sweets, or fruit either because I reserve for protein and do not want to go over my counts. Sorry more than maybe you wanted...have a great week.

Philly, how are you feeling? When you are up to it, let us know. And welcome to the losers bench Take care!

Why aren't you the little gourmet chef! Thanks for the ideas, pics and posting
