I'm a couple of hours away from Nashville, in Cookeville. Dr. Houston did my surgery on Oct. 29, 2012. Everything has been great. 63lbs gone so far!!!

I have cheek bones!!!!! Instead of big round "apples" I now have clearly defined cheek bones!!! Never knew it

I'm almost 3 months out & I'm sad to say that there's no change with my PCOS at all. I've lost 60lbs as of today. I hope your journey with PCOS goes better

That's wonderful!!!!! Congrats on your victory!!

I'm 3 months post op & I don't let the scales rule me!!!!! I don't even own scales. I weigh once a week at work. I tried weighing everyday but I would be up a lb then down a lb & I would start to get discouraged. I've found that if I wait & weigh once a week & I'm usually down more weight, and I'm much happier. Some people do great weighing everyday but I've found what works for me. Best of luck on finding out what works for you!!! Good luck on your journey!!

Surgery Oct 29, 2012. Forgot to put that info in

Way to go fellow October sleeves. Highest weight 352lbs. Date of surgery 342lbs. Current 286lbs!!! Roughly 56lbs gone so far

I've flown many times, long & short trips. Some info to help give you an idea, I was 5ft 6 in. & 360ish lbs last year when we took the trip from home (tn) to Hawaii. The long trips are rough because it gets kinda boring. When boarding the plane I would just ask the flight attendant for a seat belt extender. They were very nice & had no difficulty at all. Best of luck on your surgery & the flight!!!

Wow!!!! What a wonderful accomplishment!! Wishing you continued success on your journey!!!

I have a jobs strict surgeon & nutritionist...so here goes what rules apply with them...I can only eat 3 times a day. No snacking!!! At each meal eat at least 20 grams of protein. Only after protein can I have certain approved veggies. Carbs are to come from veggies or small amounts of condiments only. No more than 5 grams of carbs per meal. 400-600 calories a day. I'm only 2 months out, 50lbs gone. One thing I've learned is that every surgeon has a different eating plan. Hope this gives you an idea or a place to start. Best of luck on your journey!!!

Wow!!! Definitely worth printing out & trying it. Thanks!!

Congrats Douglas!!!
