wow cool there alot more ppl around my age im 24 i started my program at 443 back in august of 2012 been dieitng for about 7 months and exercising under thier program lost about 110lbs lost another 20 pre op liquid and now im 2 weeks post op at the 300 pounds mark plan to make it to 200 even by the end of the year feeling great yea definitely down to hit some ppl up on fb

every since i hit the 300 mark my face got skinner , back is more straight ^^ alot smaller now

b4 i had my surgery the way i motivate myself to make body fit for surgery was a giant posted note in my room saying i can overcome anything anywayz doesn't waste ur time worrying thats wasted energy and solves nothing u doing great keep up the good work

So about 2 weeks now post op and just had a session of cardio and a zumba at the gym felt good but man am i beat lol but the the best comment i got today what happen to u just melted away haha silly chocolate melts in ur mouth anywayz gonna have to adjust with my liquids cause i dehydrate alot quicker now

oh i feel u i was at the water fountain i was like umm how am i gonna make this work lol

cool glad u made it thru surgery but dnt let that gas bring u down ull make it u sound like a fighter ^^ and i believe in u as do many others

hey u can do it ^^ just remember to breathe and smile , god is good and it will go over smoothly =)

So i been about a week and some change since my op im about 30 lbs down, im just waiting for the greenlight so i can go back to my zumba class, yup my only regret is i wish did this sooner, i like to view my experience as putting my stomach on vacation lol i went to chipotle and the smell of fried chicken was refreshing but can't phase this. than i can celebrate lol when i finally get my spaghetti back every once in a while Xp. But the thing im loving now is that wow what happen to u face u look different nothing change im just living life =)

ya i got taken off my bp meds completely

So im kinda curious how drinking alcohol is after post op is quicker or longer i mean what are your experiences with it ????

hey i know that feeling i got taking off my blood pressure altogether keep up the good work ()b

i love online shopping now it worst T_T so many more choices

Yup trust me no regrets it be the start to becomin that person you wanted to be.

you this actually occur in my mind before i got surgery than someone pointed out you can be pretty ugly rich poor etc. ppl will always talk about you no matter what, let them be jelly of what you can become by the end of the day you look urself in the mirror and say ya i did it for me. Dnt feel ashame cause you got the sleeve remember it just a tool use to your advantage for a better life.

hey i know how you feel, i kept asking myself if i was gonna make it, i can i really do liquids for 2 weeks will i really be happier if i make this change for myself i had my surgery about a week ago man i feel great no high blood pressure my edema and swollen has decrease the quality of life is just getting better and better everyday. A shirt i couldn't fit b4 i can fit now im only a week in i can't wait for the end

hey gratz on ur surgery im about a week in other than my belly button still healing i think everything is going fine protein shakes and g2 is getting easier to down just dnt over do it just cause it feels ok doesn't mean its completly heal but gl and welcome

So i been instructed to sip about 4 ounces an hr i just kinda wondering when do u eventually get to drink more at one time sipping all the time is gonna drive me crazy but i manage to get all my protein in. I think im try ice cubes protien shakes any 1 got any recommendations and i almost chug gatorade silly me lol

So my journey began about a year and some change back in may 2012 i try to regularly exercise and do the gym thing i was about 410 lbs overweight had very high blood pressure that was the life i was accustom to than i tore my acl had to get it reconstructed so i had to get physical therapy during this time i gain about another 35 pounds.At this point both my doctors recommended me for an bariatic program and recommend i try dr .greene and thier weight loss program. I was a bit skeptical of surgery since i just came out of knee surgery so when i start their diet program began losing weight i knew i was in good hands when i 1st went dr. greene i was about 450 i began the process of changing my life i had this expectation of getting a lap band but with the knowledge ive gain and thier reccomendation i began leaning towards a sleeve so about 7- 8 months went by i lost about 110 pounds on my own than i was approved for surgery last month may so i schedule my surgery for june. as time got closer i began having my doubts and didn't know how i was gonna survive my 2week pre op liquid diet, especially after buffalo wild wings just open near my job so i was about 3 days b4 surgery was i was gonna call and cancel i wasn't sure i ready for this life change than i saw a video of a guy who was asked any regrets on getting the sleeve and he answer "i just wish i got it sooner" after that i got the courage to have the surgery to on 6/5/13. Ever since the surgery im loving the change i have no regrets im already down 36 pounds current 311 not even a week im use this tool to bring that person i been hiding all this time and acquire the life i always wanted im 24 and can't wait for this restart for me ^^ i hope this any1 i just thought would share.
