Oh Tiffy you are so freakin' cute you even looked good in your before pics! Those little brown wedges are to die for too. What a great post I loved reading it, congratulations!

This is such a fun thread! I have lost almost 50lbs and today we went to the zoo, it was HOT and I did not sweat at all! I have the sweetest husband he constantly says "Wow, it is amazing how much weight you have lost" and I noticed that he kept taking pictures of me, and I realized I was allowing him to! Those are some of the fun things that I didn't even know to look forward to. I look forward to: Waking every day without wondering/worrying how I will get my weight off. Moving more freely Feeling better physically and mentally Fitting into seats Not having to pay as much for clothing and Just feeling lighter! I am so happy for all of us!

I just ordered Zumba, wanted to try it at home before I take the "show on the road" so to speak! It looks fun, I am really excited to try, it does look like it would be fun in a group!

Great, I am so glad that I got sleeved. I still struggle with eating too fast but I just love that I can have anything, just not much of it. It is so perfect for someone like me. I just ordered Zumba because I quit getting on my treadmill so I am hoping that this will be fun and I will do it! I am so glad you are doing so well, I LOVE losing weight!

54 Wannalise?? You are whippin' my a$$!

Congratulations Dee, so glad things are going so well for you!

Congratulations on your surgery! I am so glad everything went so well, the first few weeks may be a little rough but you will feel so much better soon. Enjoy your sleeve!

So, so true!! I lose like this; down 3lbs, back up 3lbs, down 2lbs, back up 2lbs, down 3lbs (this process may go back and forth for a week or so) and then it stays off and that is my new "set weight". I think I'm in love with my sleeve! :biggrin0:

Wow! Congratulations Gary that is an amazing amount of weight to lose in such a short time and as a fellow "self pay" I agree that it is money well spent! Congrats to you too AJW and Keys Pirate, how exciting!

Thankfully everything has gone very smoothly for me, I only used my pain pump twice in the hospital and took nothing for pain after that and I had no gas pains. In the beginning when I had more swelling and thus more restriction I had a hard time learning to eat slowly but that finally passed. I am SO very happy with my decision to get sleeved, I am sure you will be too!

June 5th will be here before you know it! Congratulations on your date!

So excited for you Christie, it feels so wonderful to be losing...forever!

Welcome Will! I remember well the feeling that you are describing, it is so exciting and yet scary. I wish you all the best.

Super exciting! I am so happy for you, congratulations. We are all so blessed to be sleeved.

I agree, I can't believe how fast you can lose with the sleeve.

Yay! Congratulations, I am so happy for you I know you were really wanting to hit 50. I stalled for what seemed like forever and then finally hit 45 yesterday, 50 here I come!

Wow talk about a rough start! I am so glad that things are going smoothly for you now, amazing weight loss, congratulations!

Hi Iowagirl, how are you doing? Good to hear from you have you had your surgery yet?

I have a $4.00 coupon for Prevacid that expires 6/26/2010. If someone wants it just respond on here so everyone knows it is gone and send me your address in a private message and I will put it in the mail the next day.

Congrats on kicking the PPI and on the 70 lb weight loss in 4 months, Keys!!! That is SO exciting.

Good for you for deciding you need to do this while you are young! Hope you hear good news soon!

Wow, your weight loss in phenominal so congratulations on that! I can't even imagine how horrified you and your mom must have been when your incision popped open, it would be bad enough to see a gaping hole in yourself but worse if it were in your daughter so kudos to both of you for not passing out! Totally understand you on the "what do I do now that I can't eat myself into oblivion" thing. I am 8 1/2 weeks out and now that I have gotten used to my sleeve I am experiencing more of the same feelings that you are, therapy definitely should help with that. Maybe soon when you are feeling stronger you will feel like dealing with your boyfriend, I doubt you will want to deal with a bad relationship in such an exciting time of your life. Things are looking up for you and you may not want to take him on this ride!

Sorry to hear that you had some problems during your testing but at least with this guy it sounds like you will at least get a fair assessment! I wish you all the best.

So glad that you are doing so well. I remember feeling so much better at only one week out.
