1 years has passed since you registered at VerticalSleeveTalk! Happy 1st Anniversary wannabethin!

Hi Renee. Nice to get a message from you. Thanks for the encouraging words. I am here if you have any questions.

Hey Renee. Baby girl it's been awhile. I'm happy things are progressing for you. Good luck on your new job. I have a office job, but because Dr. H's office saw I worked for the post office they assumed it was heavy work, so they wrote the paperwork for 4 weeks. I took 2 weeks off. That was enough for me.

You are right I should post some pic up. Maybe I'll do that this weekend.

Good luck and keep me updated. Have a good weekend!!!

I saw a post you wrote about life style cookies and horton's coffee. I am just getting ready to have surgery and am not looking forward to giving up my coffee. What are life style cookies and Horton's coffee and where do you find them??

Just wanted to say you are going great! I joined the board about the time you were having surgery and read your posts often. I am finally getting my surgery date (probably Nov 10) and am trying to gear up for this life style change! My starting weight is about where you were on your surgery date so have followed your progress. You are doing great!! Hope we can stay in touch, I could sure use some advice from someone who has been there!! Take care and keep up the good work!!!

Renee

Deb,

How long were you off work with your surgery? I know everyone is different, but I wondered if a week was enough.

Renee

Thanks for the words of wisdom. I'm glad to hear you are doing well. It's good to hear the lifestyle change has been a liberating experience for you. Keep working that sleeve, you are doing great and you look amazing!!!! You should be very proud of your accomplishment!

Renee

I saw your ticker. You are doing great. I just got a call from Dr. Hoehn's office. They finally have all my paperwork and I can schedule. However, I am starting a new job on Monday and need to check with them about best time to be gone. Sooooooooo - I guess I am finally almost there! I can't believe you have already lost 70 pounds!!!! If you have time, post a couple of progress pictures, I would love to see them. Keep up the good work. You should be very proud of yourself. How about those Chiefs!!! (I love football too!)

Take care, Renee

Hey Renee. Wassup? I am doing good. What's going on with you?

Hi Renee - I couldn't imagine not wanting to eat, not being hungry, and only eating tiny portions, now I feel daunted when we go out and I get a huge portion in front of me and its only a starter! But I just eat my usual small amount then stop.

I feel so much better for it, they keep on about the fact the Dr changes your stomach but not your head, well my head changed....I'm finally cured of my food problems which I've had for half my life..... its like being set free!

Let me know when you get your date, and good luck with your new job!

Deb,

Just checking on you....how are you doing? I've been thinking about you!!

Thanks for checking in on me. I actually had a phone call from the doctor's office today about scheduling, but when I called back I could not reach her. I am starting a new job on Monday so am not sure when to schedule surgery and how to tell new boss about surgery and the fact that I will be off for a week or so. I guess I should be excited about getting date, but I guess I can't quite wrap my head around it. I can't imagine changing my way of eating so drastically, but know I need to to get healthy. How are you doing? I saw your new pictures and you look great! Stay in touch.

Renee

Renee - any news on your date yet?? Good luck - I hope it comes thru soon for you.
