I feel your pain. I'm in the same boat. I have been bouncing the same 2 to 3 pounds up and down for the last 3 months.

I AM HAPPY where I'm at. I just get a little disappointed at myself that I'm not at 140 yet. I will get there someday but for right now my Husband and daughter is so proud of me. I'm truly grateful that I had it done. Thank you

I have no regrets on having the sleeve, BEST decision I ever made. I'm happy where I'm at. But then get upset with myself because I'm not loosing anymore, and think I should loose more. I have been bouncing the 3 pounds up and down for the past going on 3 months now. It get's me depressed about it. I have to get a grip on where I want to be. Hope everyone is doing ok also and enjoying life to the fullest.

So Proud of you!!! You are going Great! Stay strong and just keep thinking of where you want to be in one year. All this will be a memory and you can not image life any other way but JOYFUL. Keep up the great work.

You are truly blessed to have a friend that is your boss and would change the medical policy for you. I was blessed with and a friend that told me about it also. Proud of you on your commitment for 6 months. First phase is to follow to the tee but this will be easy for you. Walking the day after surgery is the key to get the gas air pockets out. Wishing you the best! You Got This!!!!!! Keep us updated!

You have a motor if you compared yourself to me!!!!! LOL

An Uncomfortable Question
Liz The New Me replied to a topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
In the romance department I would never start it because of my weight. Now I have not lost as much as others but for me and my body the lost made a big difference in our bedroom. Hot and Steamy and at min. 2 times a week. Confidence you will have so much, that even the batwings, tummy bubble that if the person you are with can not handle that, he is not worth it. Tell him to go see if some super model will take him and move on. -
I hear you 20 to go and I'm getting comfortable where I'm at. Also not loosing, only around 2 pounds in a month.
-
I'm here because I need to learn the right eating habit. I feel and look great where I am but getting comfortable with 20 to go is still a goal.

I've been desperately hunting down shirts with sleeves just long enough to cover them!!! LOL
-
LOL All the bathing suits I have are 18/22 so I went on smile.amazon and found this one. Because of my extra skin bat arms.. Now I'm not that tall so there is no big gap between the top and bottom, so it is almost looking like a one piece. I LOVE IT I does run small I'm a size 10 now I ordered a XL. I can't wait to wear it next week.

I was six month out when I had my Birthday Mimosa. I was only able to have half during the party and felt a little buzzed. Just listen to your body carefully.

I can not even handle Medium Salsa. Everyone is different. You just have to listen to your body.

Totally overwhelmed
Liz The New Me replied to losingthepast's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I feel that way also. I wanted a step by step all the way. But I understand now it can not happen. We are all different in what our body will tolerant. Big learning lesson. But you will learn to listen to your body more clearly and it will be easier. Be patient and look at where you want to be in one year.
