I must say, you are beautiful. That is all.

My face looks different already.....1 month post op today....I'm soooo happy I did thiss...love my sleeve.

New dress!
Before 375
After 251

I have 3 sons and my youngest is 5 almost 6. I started this journey at 240lbs and now after being sleeved 8/24 I now weigh 194...and my 5 yr old son is now able to wrap his arms all the way around my waist when we hug.... Brought such a smile to my face and I held him longer and tighter

I agree with everyone else... Both juices are very acidic and packed full of sugar. I would avoid them at all cost.. even in the long run. At 3 months out I drink the Light 50 Cran Grape juice on occassion but still have to be careful because those calories add up quick. Remember the sleeve is a tool... if used properly it will serve you well but it will let you drink all of the calories that you want... and then it does you no good at all.

To all the people hating on having a little fun, a wise man (Van Wilder) once said....
You shouldn't take life to seriously... You'll never get out alive!
I live by this every day! Lighten up a bit and have some fun!

Hear! Hear!

Some people live life wayyyyyyyyy tooooo seriously. You only get one life, some of us now are getting a second chance to live the life that we always wanted, why not throw a little humor in it? I think it's awesome that people are naming thier sleeves. I get mine Friday morning and I'm still trying to come up with a good name, but this sleeve has changed and saved my life already! When I went for my endoscopy they were able to find a polyp that came back as a mass of neuroendocrine cancer! I feel like the luckiest girl in the world. I just wish I could come up with name for my sleeve to thank it.. Whether its a him or her.... I guess you don't really know until post op! Thanks for the giggles this morning! And to all you grumps.... Lighten up!!!!!!!

Too funny! When I read the topic, my first thought was "Hope."

If you like it, just don't put a band on it

I named my sleeve Stella.
The few coworkers that know I had surgery know that I refer to my new stomach as Stella and it's basically a code work when I talk about my new stomach not liking something, making noise, or not feeling a certain food.

I will call mine: Sleevie Oneder, and it won't be long before I can say I'm in One(derland). Yep I like that

I named mine Sleeveina!

My husband has named mine "Tim the Tapeworm". He says he is going to tell people I got a tapeworm when he is asked about my weightloss. My husband has a unique sense of humor... . I don't even get sleeved until October 9.

Someone in the August sleevers group named mine "Isaac" because my surgery was on Aug 27 in New Orleans during the hurricane.

I like the idea of naming it. For me humor helps me tremendously when it comes to something I struggle with. So I am gonna name it, I just need to come up with something funny.
