BeatrizS1974<3 sleeve got a reaction from Dawnislas in Veterans
Hi! I will be 4 years post op in January. First thing I will tell you is that this has been the best decision I have made in my life. Has it been easy? No, not one bit! At almost 4 years post op I am struggling to lose 10 lbs I have regained. Obviously the surgery was on our stomach and not on our brain. Unfortunately for me I am an emotional eater and the past year has been filled with many ups and downs that have pushed me to make horrible food choices and to drown my sorrows in cheetos and ice cream! I have not posted in years but decided I needed to log back on to get back on track. Hope my answer helps you

Yes, I will run it the same way Bea did. You'll know I have added it in when I like your post.
I'm definitely not as good with excel as she was, so the spreadsheet it bare for now. I will work more with it to spruce the future ones up.
Also, just to be clear, we will only enter the whole number...not the decimal.
Great goals everyone!!
Kelly...aka..gomekast

BeatrizS1974<3 sleeve got a reaction from BeagleLover in Are your family & friends telling you to stop losing weight?
Yes. I hear it every day. I am 7 lbs away from my surgeons goal and 13 lbs away from my personal goal and my friends think i am crazy. I don't care what they say. If I lose the 13 lbs and think I am too skinny then I will gain a couple of cpounds until I am comfortable with myself.

BeatrizS1974<3 sleeve got a reaction from matt1912 in I think I maybe having regrets
The only times I threw up was because I ate/ drank something too fast or had too much of it. Once you get a handle on it it'll be smooth sailing!

BeatrizS1974<3 sleeve got a reaction from braninem19 in Sleeve vs band restriction?
It is pretty painful when you are full. I had my sleeve surgery 1/9/13 and even now sometimes i get that full feeling. I quickly learned how to avoid it because it isn't like it comes on after eating one spoonfull too many. It is gradual and I learned pretty early on when to stop eating/ drinking. does that make sense?

BeatrizS1974<3 sleeve got a reaction from BigGirlPanties in 1 Year Surgeversary
On January 9th of this year marked my 1 year anniversary of having the Sleeve surgery! I am so happy with my results and truly love my sleeve.
I started this journey at 228lbs. I had to do the 6 month supervised diet so 10 months later, the day of surgery i was 203lbs. On January 9, 2014 i weighed in at 135lbs.
I have learned to use my tool and know what my limits are and what my slider foods are. I am very aware of what goes in my mouth as opposed to before i had surgery where i ate or drank whatever i wanted. It has to be worth something good for me to eat it.
Things i would have done differently: Definitely Exercise more! I didn't start going to the gym until 5 months post op. Pure laziness in my part. So if i can give a newbie any advice at all is to definitely exercise and take advantage of the first 6 months post op because that is when you will see the weight fly off your body. After 6 months i noticed that my weight loss slowed down alot. I still lost weight but it was minimal.
Here is a before picture and a picture that was taken at 10 months post op.
