I went shopping for some new capris and dress shorts for work.....I completely passed by the size 12's. I actually bought size 10's!

Feeling good! Gosh, I am 15 weeks postop now--40 pounds gone! I am trying to go below 180 by my birthday on Oct 16th that is 3 weeks away. Over the weekend, I got all of my smaller clothes out, tried them one, and laundered them, so now I have a wardrobe again! Yes, most of those things fit me--discovered I am between sizes 16-18 mostly. Another 10-15 pounds off, I should be wearing the 12-14s in nothing flat! It feels great!

Bought a size 10 jeans a couple days ago!!! Haven't worn a 10 in about 12 years.

Halfway to my goal weight today!!! Wonder if I should drop my LTG a little? Or should I just let myslef get there first nd see what happens. It is already 10 pounds below what my surgeon suggested. This is all so surreal!! WOOHOO!

I haven't been here in awhile so here is a brief update...down 60 plus pounds but MORE IMPORTANTLY I feel so good. My knees don't hurt, my back doesn't hurt, I can move easily, I have an enormous amount of energy and I feel 10 years younger than my nearly 57 years! I am taking much better care of myself and don't feel selfish about it one bit! When a care giver cares for her or him self they are helping to care for the world! Rock on my sleeve family!

Life is so special. Well, I am bouncing around these last five lbs like a ball. UP 1 down 1, but I remember the days of up 20 down 10, so I am still grateful. 5lbs from goal is nothing to cry about. Giving thanks in all! Blessings everyone!

Laying in bed dreaming of all those clothes in my closet that I never got rid of. Size 10 jeans, I will see you by my b-day!!

6.9 pounds to goal... these last 10 are the hardest ever! I am low carbin it this week. Lots of water and protein to try to jump start this!

I'm just typing in the little box...hope you girls get this. I'm doing a low-carb thing now. My Dr. recommended it 10 days before, but I got to be on something now or I will gain.

cont... the 2 mo, I only had 2 lbs of weight loss. This month (3mo), I sought help from my surgeon and he said because my bmi was low from the beginning, it is expected. I decided to start working out which I wasn't doing before and lost 10 lbs this month. Are you going through the same problem?

Hi i'm Tiffany don't know how to utilize this forum but am interested in getting feedback on pre/post sleeve surg. My date is 10/24 and i am still not 100% sure if i'm gonna go through with it.

Hello! congrats on your sleeve date! I'm having surgery on 10/11! did you know we have an October 2011 thread on here? come find us!

dude im doing great man! 4 days post op, pain is amost gone, i can slam 96 oz of protein before 5 pm! just did it today, had to go out and drive, i know not a good idea but ****, easy as pie! made a huge 10 oz protein shake before i left with some ice, by the time i got done i had crushed it. you will do fine man, biggest things FORCE yourself to walk a ton in the hosptial, as much as you can!

Great news! My surgeon's office called today to schedule my surgery! Good thing I didn't wait on her...I had the pleasure of telling her "No thanks, I was sleeved on 10/14" pa-thet-ic! So glad I took matters into my own hands.

I weighed this morning and my weight is 186lbs. I have lost 59 pounds since surgery and since the beginning of my journey 105 pounds. It is hard for me to believe I am now firmly in the 100's. Have not weight this much since I was 19 years old and I was pregnant at the time.

Baby girl, I was thinking about coming at 10:00 Thursday morn. If that is OK. Holla!!! BIG BIG HUGS.

Cool Kalfin. Where'd you move? I've only lived in Bossier for a little under 2 years and my husband has been promoted to Pittsburgh, so here we go again. In the last 10 years we've lived in New Orleans, Houston, Shreveport, and now Pittsburgh. I hear you on the heat, humidity and mosquitos...it was 90 today. Low humidity and not too bad right now, but in a couple weeks it'll be miserable.

I drank this Diet Mountain Dew and I feel like I want go outside to mow the grass at 10 o'clock at night!

*I think I may be full-swing into a caffeine-induced mania*

No, I don't following my guidelines 100% of the time. I have eaten my fair share of donuts and tabo foods. But I don't beat myself up about it and I go on. I do try to eat my protein and drink my water and I think that helps alot. I have slowed down alot in my weight loss tho. I am losing about 10 pounds a month now. That's why I am hoping to be at goal by Aug.

Confession: I reached my 15th anniversary on 10/10/12 & since that day, I've fallen off. I'm back on track now & am completely focused. I'm in a gym, have a personal trainer, & well on my way to healthy!!!

Down 20#. No more. No less. Finally going for 1st post op f/u tomorrow. Banded 10-17. And I'm HUNGRY!

Great news today from my hair stylist of 20+ years...2 months ago she estimated that I had lost about 10% of my hair. Today she showed me all of the new growth...it's coming back!! Yay...

Wearing size 10 pants today for the first time in over 20 years!

Happy 48th Birthday Linda W 10!
