Off the meds already?! That is a good sign of things to come. Congrats.

That is just AMAZING! You look like a new woman and look how active you have been. Congrats and get the beautiful dog running!

Those look great on you!

Congrats bro! You deserve it.

Good for you! Speaking as a guy, a woman looks so beautiful in one of our t-shirts.

Congrats on being called gorgeous, you deserve it. Even if he was kinda rude.

Nice. Tell her the rest of you is gone forever.

First, Congrats on making it to surgery day! You have jumped through all the worthless hoops and are there. I would take a few minutes to just soak that up before anything. Second if you have people who do support your decision, give them a ring and tell them how you are feeling. There will always be people standing in the way of your goals you have to have the strength to knock them down. Get some positive energy flowing your way and CHUG that isopure!

Can someone give me some real world examples of how much food your new sleeved stomach can hold. I hear the ounces a lot but I am a visual person. Like can you eat a whole dunkin donuts donut? A whole Mcdonalds size cheeseburger? Not that you would eat these foods just examples that we all know.

You look like a new person! Congrats

Happy sleeveversary! (sp) Congrats on the weight loss I know it will continue.

This is dead on. I find myself not wanting to tell people about my surgery not because im self concious but because it seems like I needed help. I definately do but as a man it is tantamount to sin to need help.

The emotions are normal. This is a pretty safe procedure, you will be slim and happy before you notice.

To be thin Do you think she was concerned with you undergoing surgery or did she just wanna be the "skinny one" in your friendship?

Working out has gotta be the best addiction of all!

Great Job. Plenty more realizations to come

The balance issues will improve. You have different proportions now and your inner ear has to adjust. Its kinda like in puberty when you get taller and then you get clumsy.

Thats what I would have thought. It seems like everyone would just be supportive and happy for you.

This sounds perfect for me! I wanted something with the taste of red meat but the nutrional value of white meat. Can I ask what site you order from?

Found this on Lauras cooking tips. It works for me because im a recovering pancake junkie. Ingredients: 1 cup almond meal 2 eggs 1/4 cup water (for puffier pancakes, you can use sparkling water) 2 T oil 1/4 teaspoon salt 1 T sweetener Preparation: Mix ingredients together and cook as you would other pancakes. I like to use a nonstick pan with a little oil. The only real difference is that they won't "bubble" on top the same way as regular pancakes. Flip them when the underside is brown. Serve with sugar-free maple syrup, Easy Three Berry Syrup, strawberry topping, or other low carb topping. Yield: Six 4-inch pancakes Nutritional Information: Each pancake has 1 gram effective carbohydrate, plus 2 grams of fiber, 6 grams of protein, and 155 calories.

Im the same way. Im about to submit the next week and I know whoever has my file will be on a first name basis with me. I obsess over everything. Just remind yourself of the beginning of this process and how far you have come now.
