When you finally get pregnant after 15 years disappointments and are looking forward to holding your first child around New Years!

Your husband says to you with a devilish look "Your breasts and you have been very distracting lately"

My doctor suggested not going back to caffeinated again. At first I was sad but I have really not missed it. I drink decaf coffee and tea. I am six months post op. I did accidentally have ice tea about a month ago, and a few sips did not upset my stomach but i got a horrible headache. I think I am going to stay away from the caffeine. Good luck to you.

When for the first time in your life you weight less than your husband. I am 7 lbs away from being smaller than him for the first time ever since we started dating. OMG!!!!!!!!!

Hello everyone, I have passed one of my major goal: Weight less than 300! I promised myself after hitting this goal i would fix my bike and start going on fun bike rides. I am now having a hard time making smaller goals. My next would be to be under 200 but it seems a bit large, like it might take a long time and i might get discouraged. What were some of your minor goals, perhaps I can get inspiration from them. Also what were some of your rewards when you hit your goals? Thanks everyone. -Izzybelle

Thank you everyone, @@Madam Reverie I was in Tulum around Cancun Mexico. Two years ago. My husband and I are going back this August and this time, I am going to go down those giants stairs and go into the Water. Why because I will be able to go down and back up again!. I am so exicted!!!!

I believe at my highest weight I was 405. I was really sick and my CEO was very concerned and he paid for me to see a nutritionist in San Francisco.. I was so humbled that a non family member cared so much about my health. Before I saw the nutritionist I got really sick with pneumonia and it had been my experience that i tended to lose 10lbs when I get that sick. So after the sickness I went to see the nutritionist and my weight was 395lbs. I was in shock when i realized that I was probably 405lbs. Now I am 100lbs lighter thanks to the nutritionist i lost 50 but put gained weight back to 383lbs before i started to seriously work on my sleeve surgery. I am so happy for both the nutritionist which helped me learn a lot about food and helped me start to deal with all those mind issues regarding food. I am so happy with my sleeve, and this new journey I know I can get to may goal of 170! I have a long road but an optimistic road. So please Celebrate my unofficial 100lb loss. I am sharing a picture around 380lbs, and a more recent one around 315.

You are giving me hope. I have PCOS, have never been able to get pregnant. I did the sleeve because my back was wearing out due to my weight. I am so grateful and happy to have lost weight thus far and want to keep loosing weight. My doctors are hopeful i can get pregnant after a year of weight loss. I honestly had lost hope, I don't want to get my hopes up and I am 36 will be 37 when we start trying. Not sure what is in store for me but God i have always wanted to have kids, I am jut so afraid of getting hurt.

Thank you for sharing with us. You are doing awesome.

I have just started this journey and I am really happy. I can start to think and plan and do things that I would not before, because I was in pain, tired, or just because i knew i could not with my weight. It is not an easy path but i am so happy i did it. I can't wait to see what else it will bring. I also agree that as i shed the weight i am also shedding other parts of my life i see need changing. It is great. Good luck, stay strong, you will doubt and worry but if you feel this is what you need trust yourself.

I didn't even realize I did not walk sideways either. And I was thinking can't wait until I can use the tray table. Thank you everyone for your support.

I flew today and did not need a seat belt extender. I sat next to two men and I was not super cramped. It was glorious!

Ah yes this sounds familiar. I was a wreck anything would make me cry or make me furious. My first period was bad but it has gotten better. I was told by my doctor that fat cells store estrogen and as your fat melts the estrogen comes out and causes mood changes. Well it did to me. But it goes down and gets easier to manage, I am 3 1/2 months post op and feeling fairly normal. Don't worry you will be ok. Let your self feel what you are feeling. This will pass Good luck on your journey its going to be amazing!

Thank you for sharing this, you will be in my prayers and I so happy for your sleeve. You are a strong woman!
