I reeeallllly feel for your hubby! ~ Hopefully all will work out soon! I've only "slimed" a few times: A few after I was first sleeved and TODAY for some reason. All was due to eating [chicken] too fast...it certainly is not a pleasant experience.

Hi everybody! I surely had some roadblocks due to fracturing an ankle playing hopscotch with my 10 yr old great niece = no exercise for a month. So I'm back to doing water aerobics and finally losing a few pounds again. Getting some sun is a plus too ~ I'd rather have my fat tanned!

You are doing amazing !!!

AN INSPIRATION !!!

WOW ~ CONGRATS!!! I'm hitting 6 months with a 50 lb loss...I've been on the plateau from hell.

Thanks for the positive reinforcement to all of us = you are an inspiration! xxx

My Update: Weight loss has been slow & in longgggg stalls BUT NSV inches mean fitting back into closets full of Spring clothes and feeling better!

You are sooo right: MAINTAINING IS THE PROBLEM! I lost 90 working toward WLS & was very proud that I didn't have to do any WLS. I kept it down for quite awhile with 20 sneaking back on and then after a traumatic event I put another 45 on in a very short time. I said enough was enough, went to Mexico. The Sleeve is freedom to me.

Way to go Newme !!! Feeling good, eh?!!! xxx

Please keep us updated on your HCG diet, ok!

Hi Cindy, I'm also in recovery ~ 10 years clean and sober. I have did the Overeater's Anonymous steps several years back and was very enlightened to find some of my core eating problems/solutions thru them. Even tho I was sleeved on 12-9-10, I still have those behaviours so I believe I will go over my OA 12 Steps again. It's like peeling an onion: layer after layer = never done! Lu

CONGRATS! = Radiantly happy 'n healthy!

Looking Goooood!!!!!

CONGRATS Irene !!!! xxx

My first "real" food was crab = yummy! I've overdid it with chicken several times because of not chewing good enough. Omelettes are my best friend when eating out.

Not only did I research him but 3 friends had him do their WLS and each has passed it on by taking another friend down = One was me! They got me in quick after the final decision was made: I traveled 800 miles to Phoenix where then we went the rest of the way down to Mexicalli. I never had 2nd thoughts or one bit of nervousness = I was ready! Yes I agree with all above and the price is all inclusive. I believe he did 3 the day of mine and also repaired my hiatal hernia.

WOW! ~ You're doing amazing Tiffany! I'm still on the plateau from hell = Stuck on 205 for over a month, down to 199, and only 1 lb in a 2 week period. I just added Aquatics twice a week with my walking, treadmill, & Gazelle. What kind of exercise program do you do???

It's wonderful to finally fit! = Shopping has been my new addiction!

Ooooooh you look so pregnant-cute! Congrats!

The TV show on Oprah's OWN channel, "ADDICTED TO FOOD" is the show to watch about tackling our demons with food. It looks like the rehab follows a 12 step program and there are overeaters, compulsive, & bulemics. I watched the second episode today and alot hit home with me.

WOW! ~ You're doing terrific on all areas! I was 12-9-10 @ 245 and have lost less than 50.

YOU ARE AN INSPIRATION!

SUZANNE, THANK YOU FOR SHARING YOUR STORY: YOU ARE AN INSPIRATION!!!

TIME TO GO SHOPPING for bargains!! ~ Enjoy fitting into clothes that you never have before! I have 2 large closetfulls that I'm finally getting back into.

I'm 56 and just like the rest:: I wish I'd had it done years ago! xxx
