  1. I put the 'maybe' because it's hard to believe this will work. I've done so many things to get skinny, but this is the most drastic and permanent. I'm a middle-aged teacher and coach, and I finally got tired of being unable to do anything at 100%. I tried the lapband (2006), and had little success (some physical problems, some personal inability to follow the plan). After it had to be removed, I almost gave up. A year later, a new and determined me decided it was time to do the sleeve surgery. It wasn't reversible, and it has some rather punitive results if I don't follow the plan. This is for me. And so, the journey begins. Surgery was on 22 August, 2013. Off we go.

    So-we're on this journey together! Let's do this? If you feel like cheating, think-NOOOOO SKINNYMINNY will give me detention! (and I will!). Cheating is easy-I know, it's what happened to me with the band. Instead of dealing with the problems I was having (ie, go to the doctor) I started drinking my meals (ie, shakes). No way that was going to work. We've just had our body stapled. We will lose weight. Believe it. Or I'll make you write 1000 times "I will not cheat" on the board!

    I am afraid to even cheat, which is good! I've been reading everything here-and have so many questions. I don't actually miss food yet, instead I'm having to force even sufficient liquid down. I'll trade you a little of my forcing for your great healing?!
