Yesterday, I wore a bathing suit and shorts in public for the first time in many many yrs! For the first time in a long time, I didn't feel everyone was staring at me in disgust. Thank you Sleeve and Dr Kelly!! <3

I love my sleeve!! I had BK for breakfast since it had been sooo long. Well I was only able to eat the half of one bread slice, meat and eggs out of the croissanwich and 3 potato rounds. Before I could eat the entire double, and King size potato rounds... WOW!!!!

My surgery got pushed back 3 weeks... disappointing, but if i waited this long, 3 more weeks shouldn't make a difference. Now scheduled for 7/27... can't wait!

follow up nutritionist appointment this week, shopping for new gym sneakers and getting to wear a dress that never fit me before? sounds like a great week ahead!

I guess it's normal to be hungry during the two week post op liquid diet?

welp, another week of doing everything right and losing nothing! UGGH.

I worked out yesterday and I gained a pound.... I haven't been able to see the inside of a gym in over 3 weeks.

Next week, I will start working out at Mercy Healthplex Fairfield. I toured the facility today and it's a nice one. Looking forward to this.

I am at my six week post op. I am down 55 pounds. I know it sounds good but I feel like I'm really loosing slower than I should be. I am happy to be under 300 pound mark though. I am at 290 now. Started out at 343 pounds. I also have the hiccups alot. Does that happen to a lot of people. Its usually when I get full, but sometimes it's when I am drinking too. I think it is weird. I can also hear my stomach growling alot. Sounds upset but isn't. Sometimes I think it is telling me I...

Night #3 without the nightlight...will Jackson last the night without calling out for fear of a weird shadow in his room?

I have a preop visit scheduled for 9/16/11.....they said for me to be prepared to stay 3-4 hours. Why so long?

I am so frustrated. My scale has bounced around between 192 and 190 for weeks!!!! I am only 4 months post-op, I can't be done already at 190!!!

So today I am exactly 10 days post-op. I'm am doing much better. I've notice that I'm able to tolerate water better with Crystal light Lemonade. I've also noticed that I definitely need to eat every 3 hours or I get weak. Its crazy but write now the only thing I can think about is eating a nice salad. LOL. I know silly right. When I could have all the salad I wanted I didn't want'em. Life!
