I have no idea. May be start with 20 and raise it if I can do more. I think maybe I can do it like 3 times a day?

How many should you start off doing?

DivaNurse you truly are a miracle. I am so sorry what you have gone through the positive from this is that God stepped in and let you continue your life journey. God has a plan for you and you have answered his calling. God Bless you, please keep us updated.

Whoooooo Hooooo you rock that sleeve.

I have so many! The one that hit me the hardest was getting out of the shower and seeing myself naked in the full lenghth mirror:’( . I had not seen my full body in years ofcourse I cried and decided it was time.

Yes it does. Maybe we can inspire some of our fellow neighbors to do something along the lines that we are going to do or have done. Im 3 months out so far and I can honestly say this really is one of the BEST decisions I have ever made in my life and I would do it again if I had to :-)

You can get any soup and puree that to. Maybe some taco meat. Tuna is great with a little may and pickle juice. Www.eggface.com has some great recipes for the puree stage and softfoods to. Goodluck you will do great :-D

I dont blame you a bit :-). I have a pretty good idea where Rhome is, I think lol. I think it is so great that Texans are stepping up to the plate to get this obeisity under control. They say everything in Texas is bigger, but darn it the people dont have to be lol.

I am so happy seeing that everyone is doing great! Sleeved on12/4/12 Starting weight 256lbs as of today 214lbs. 42 lbs down. I think we are all doing great.

You are doing great! Congratulations :-D

My thoughts and prayers are with you. You have got this girl, the best thing you could ever do for yourself and family. I felt just like you about leaving the house to go anywhere. I still dont go anywhere now, I guess not ready yet. I wish you the best and also a speedy recovery.

I think I might lol. Thats what I was craving lol. Except I dont tolerate any dairy at all. I try it and I get really sick. So I stick with what I can. Yesterday had 2 protein shakes made with water just couldnt do it today lol.

Welcome aboard lessofmeismore. Happy you chimed in. We can do this, not alone but together!!!

Where is everyone at today? Breakfast 2 oz wendys chili Lunch 2oz wendys chili Dinner grilled chicken and Broccolini 64 oz of water so far

I know what you mean! I was born with boobs I believe. In the 5th grade I wore a 34D and hated it :-) I have lost 43lbs so far and still where the same 40G. All the females and some of the males are all big breasted lol. After all my weightloss I hope to get a reduction as well because of the back pain. My DH says Im gonna be a stick with boobs.

Maybe you can start over to phase 1 again? Try to start protein first veggies second and good carbs if you have room for them. As for everything you have going on let it go if theres nothing you can do about it. Stress does cause weigh t gain no doubt about it. We are here for you. You will get through this and the weight will start coming off again. Keep positive and strong, honestly only things you really need to worry about is you getting healthier for that new precious gift that God has given you. Good luck we are here for you.

She was also on Wendy Williams talking about it. She said it was the best thing she ever did. She also said that the people who think that it was the easy way out better think again because it is just a tool that you still have to diet and excercise to lose the weight. We need more celebrities that have had this to tell the public how it really is.

You will do great! The first step is always the hardest and you have already acomplished it. Congratulations you are on the road to a new healthy you. Feel free to ask any questions we are all here for you :-)

You are doing great! Those pictures are amazing at how much weight you have lost. Keep stong and keep rockin that sleeve!

Welcome, there are alot of people from Texas that come here and post. I am from Texas also. If you dont mind me asking what surgeon are you using and what part of Texas are you from? I live in Burleson just south of ft worth and I used Dr. Kim for my surgery. Good luck and keep us up to date after surgery.

I had my EGD at Baylor TC and my surgery at FP. Dr. Kim is also my surgeon he is great! Both hospitals are great, very informative on everthing that will happen with both procedures. If you get it at FP one of the surgeon asst is great very funny her name is little debbie she and everyone else are soooo nice.

Oh babygirl I am soooo sorry for this pain you are enduring. My heart really goes out to you for having this loss. I want to say congratulations on surgery being a go, but to lose your child even if you didnt know is horrible. We are here for you when you need us. My prayers and thoughts are with you.

It will get better. Depression will stay with you no matter what until you get the right medicine and right counseling. The stage you are at right now is the hardest of all. Time will heal you and make you feel a lot better. Are you seeing counseling or have you been prescribed medicine? We are here for you. When you feel down you can pm me and I will listen, anytime you need a shoulder or a friend.

Hope your feeling alot better and rocking your new sleeve! Congratulations on coming over to the sleeve side :-)
