Saved By The Sleeve

Same here!!!! CAN EAT MORE DURING CYCLE???? GO FIGURE..... and I stall 3 days before and don't lose anything.....gain a couple pounds and about 4 days later I lose the 2 lbs I gained plus about 3 more. Every time I have dieted in the past this also happened so I should be used to it right? NOT....IT IS ONE OF THOSE THINGS THAT A WOMAN JUST DOESN'T GET USED TO I GUESS!!!! LOL

When I saw your post I was so happy and excited for you :-) I haven't seen a number with a 1 in front on the scales myself in 18 years, so I know how happy you are !!!

Thanks! I messed up somehow trying to post above (oops) ..... Anyway I really like the site

Well I feel you on that decision. I personally did not tell my BF whom is one of the sweetest people you could ever meet, BUT the only thing is that she is extremely close with all of her aunts and they all talk entirely too much if you know what I mean LOL. I knew that sooner or later she would tell one of them and then the whole world "that surrounds me" would know! However, I do think that she would have been really supportive and probably would have decided to have the surgery herself because she is over weight also. I had a BF in the past who was negative and non supportive about anything that went well in MY life. Go figure..........I let that friendship die off thank goodness. What is the point in having a best friend if they aren't going to act like a best friend!

WAY TO GO GIRL!!!!:Dancing_biggrin::Dancing_chief::Dancing_furious::Dancing_confused::Dancing_hmm::Dancing_jimlad::Dancing_O_o::Dancing_peevedoff::Dancing_wub:

AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:bananajump::bananalama::bananadoggywow:

I totally had the same problems with protein as you and Rev Me Up! Couldn't even choke it down, to me they are all disgustingly gross!!! Once I started my mushies phase I too ate the soft meats and cheeses, scrambled eggs and soups that had more protein than others. You will get it in before you know it!

I think that at first, IT IS the huge difference and the shock of seeing them at that size. I remember after seeing Luther V. when he had lost so much weight I had those type of thoughts about him and then after awhile he didn't look bad at all......just at a normal weight! LOL But as far as friends, so called friends, family members and all of their opinions goes.......BUMP THEM!!! LOL

LOVED THE SLIDES :-) TRULY INSPIRING!!!!

Oh my......you ought to blow this one up and frame it for sure. You and "sprout" look absolutely gorgeous!!!! Everyone is so happy for you :-)

SO HAPPY FOR YOU!!!! CAN'T WAIT TO FEEL GREAT. I HAVE JUST COMPLETED MY FIRST MONTH AND IT DOES FEEL AS IF I WILL NEVER MAKE IT TO SEE MYSELF SMALL ALSO......DUE TO SO MANY YEARS OF FAILED ATTEMPTS I SUPPOSE, BUT I JUST CAN NOT WAIT TO PROVE MY MIND WRONG!!!!

Looking REALLY GOOD girl!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well I ate a couple of the Kellogs Special K chocolate peanut butter flavored ones already! So after reading everyone's posts I guess I will wait a while longer before eating them again also, but it was rather chewy and not very hard too. I thought that it was okay also......oops!
