sleeve 4 me

I am sooooo sorry for your loss...praying peace and comfort for you. Hugs.

Welcome!!!!

awwww I freaked out too!!! But I will tell you it's the one of the BEST things I ever did for myself EVER! It was not an easy journey by any means, but I am soooo happy. I am 21 months post op and still love my sleevie and am so thankful. Best wishes to you!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks everyone! You are all so kind!!! Hugs to all

You are doing GREAT!!!!! Thank you for your kind words! I am wishing you all the BEST and can't wait for the rest of your story !!!!!!!!!!!

I know what you mean. I notice a lot more wrinkles around my eyes now than before, and I hear the answer for that is FAT injections LOL!!!! But I would rather be healthy and fit and strong and just get some botox later on if it continues to bother me

No offense taken what so ever! I agree I do look different LOL! Thank you! I didn't recognize myself for over a decade. I would see me in the mirror and see my eyes but not recognize me ...it's good to be back

Hmmmm let's see. Well I reached my goal at 9 months out (150) and dropped 6 more lbs after that...at 1 year post op I was at 145. At 14 months post op I dropped to 144 without trying, and it scared me a little because I had reached the goals I had set for myself (fit in my wedding dress and obtain a normal BMI) and was happy with that, and didn't really want to get any lower. So I started adding more calories/fat to my diet and was able to stay within the 5 lb fluctuation. These last few months I seem to be hanging more at 147-148. So to answer your question, I lost 1 lb after 1 year post op (without trying).

You are correct suzcomptime! Today's size 4 is actually a size 8 from 20 years ago, and a size 6 is a size 10 from 20 years ago, and so on, and so on...it's crazy, but true.

Thanks everyone!!!!!

Thanks my friend!!!!!!!!!

Awww you are too sweet! Yes I am 44 years old and will be 45 in November (gulp) lol! I am Mexican/American , I do get mistaken for Persian at times lol.
