You are not alone in that feeling!! Sometimes I have to stop myself from making some asinine response... LOL One gal said, Hey you've lost some weight huh? How much? I replied, none, I have not lost any weight!! I acted kinda upset like, what you callin me fat?? LOL!! It was pretty funny though... she's a good sport. I do find myself trying to change the subject, nearly every time too. I just don't want my whole life's day in and day out being about me and losing weight I guess. It will all stop eventually I suppose, unless I see someone I haven't in a long time, then it would get brought up. At least that is what I tell myself everytime I get told I'm losing weight or whatever comment. That usually makes me feel better... Ah, now see, as I replied to the above this one's the same for me. I actually shy away from being called skinny or thin or whatever folks remark to me. Only because I know I'm none of these. They're just not used to seeing me look halfway normal. I'd say me being in a 12/14 is really considered normal in this heavier world. I still don't consider myself skinny though. I think it's just maybe a matter of ME accepting the new me, rather than the other way around! Know what I mean? It is interesting no doubt!! It was really weird being told from the woman who gave me life that she didn't even recognize me. LOL!! Just imagine, in a few months, this will be you too!!

Yes it's true, I've been Up and Down with my weight for the last almost 20 years. I've never been thin as an adult, only since being a young teenager, then shortly after I got married and stopped doing things to keep myself thin. I gained that weight pretty quickly. You do have a lot to look forward to, and that's a lot less of you. NSV's are my favorites. The scale going down is nice, but I'm telling you, it's the little things that keep reminding me that I'm doing mighty fine. Good luck!!!

That is really great 2bskinny!! Keep it up, I see you are within pounds to your goal weight. GOOD LUCK!!! Though, I do believe we should all choose what is right for US - it is still possible your friend chose what was right for her. But it seems also true that you chose what was right for YOU, and that is what matters most here. Blessings!!

So Awesome, CONGRATS!!! Your new life begins soon.

I'm so sorry no one responded, I didn't see it. I don't think I've really been around much lately - I have been extremely busy at both home and work. Had I seen it, I certainly would have responded... (((hugs))) I know how frustrating stalls can be. I'm in one right now, and just got out of one not weeks before this one. It seems like the closer I'm getting to goal the harder it is to lose this weight. Have I been perfect? NO!! So that just gets me to thinking that I have to be perfect now for any hopes of losing more.

LOL!! Now I've really heard it all!! Very interesting indeed. Well at least you know now that he's not worth your time anymore, just one more thing to add in thanks to your sleeve! Someday you will find a great guy who loves you for YOU.

That IS great news!! Let us know your date when you get it. Good job so far, its not easy during the pre op phase. Also, for me, I have lost most of my hunger. I have noticed if I eat bad carbs I will feel more hungry, so it helps with the type of food you're eating. Other than that I really never get hungry. Best Wishes!!

If you are interested let me know. I'll make a list of what I have, if I get any responses. If not, off to the Goodwill they go!!! Shipping will need to be paid by you if you want them. Not a bad trade-off!

Sorry I don't have anything left... I'm also closing this thread

Look at you!!!!! Awesome!!!!!!! Yes, GOD IS SOOO GOOD!!!

I knew it the second I saw it...

Sure do!!! Good luck lady!

Hi Shontel, I'm also starting to seriously consider getting my boobs done too. It's going to be my goal weight gift to myself. I thought about it deeply on what I really REALLY could to for ME to Celebrate losing so much weight, and I have decided this is the one. I'm not going to waste any time, and the other PS can wait - but not this!! Would you mind sharing how much this costed you, and everything you had done? You can PM me if you prefer not to share this openly... THANKS!! It's also keeping me motivated to get to goal now too... can't wait!!!

Whoohooo!! I never doubted ya. And you know, it would take an act of congress for me to change mine. I'd have to stay at the higher weight for a month at least.

Hi nAN, Welcome to VST My revision was 90 minutes, though I didn't have any band relating issues either so I was lucky and it helped. I did have nausea after for a few days but subsided quickly (TG because I hate nausea). The first month is tough, not gonna go lightly here BUT that one month of struggles is so worth it now. I love my sleeve SO MUCH and it truly has saved my life. Are there any specific questions you might have? There's a ton of information!!! Good luck on your journey! You will get to goal no doubt about that.

You lost 25 Lbs in 6 weeks.

Hey now!!!!! Rock it girlie!!!! You ARE rocking that sleeve lady, and I don't wanna hear another word about it!!! Hugs and I KNOW you're gonna have a blast in June. Cheers!!!

Hey pattimom, that is awesome!!! You have done so well, I'm sooo happy for you!! Literally you are the incredible shrinking momof3

WHOOOT CONGRATS!!!!!!!!!!! One goal down - and cheers to reaching your next one.
