Can You Hear Me!!!!!



Recommended Posts

Okay so I'm in the Goodwill with my mom and son, I was in search of the perfect shade of grey slacks. Well I pick up a size 8(which can I say I am thrilled to be able to fit), a size 6, and a size 4 that I knew no way in the world I would be able to fit. But hey my son said, "mom they look like they could fit you." I was thinking "Mmmhhmmm I don't think so."

Well sleeve family, I could not wait to get online to tell you guys that I not only got in the 8's, but I even got in the 6's -very comfortably might I add. But HELLO can you hear me, HELLO, I say, I even got in the size 4's.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. I love my sleeve. I love my sleeve.

I was in the dressing room jumping up and down. saying OMGosh I can actually fit a size 4 in slacks. And these were labeled from the "Express" store. I don't know how many of you have that in your area mall. But as a person who was tipping the scales at 298lbs I could only look at their clothes never try on or even wear, as it was made for skinny chicks.

Oh side note the size 6's were labeled from Talbots. Some of the women will understand why I am saying what store the clothes are coming from, as some stores clothes run smaller than others. So to wear a size out of a particular store is an incredible thing.

Sleeve-Land is an Incredible Thing.

Thanks you guys. I am constantly amazed everyday with this sleeve. It is amazing. And it is so nice to have others to share with that understand your happiness.

My sleeve birthday was Dec 14, 2010. I started at 298lbs and today I am at 175.6lbs. I want to share this gift with everyone I know that is struggling just as I did with losing/keeping off weight. I swear I thought I had missed the meeting on "how not to be fat." I spent countless dollars on products and different gimmicks. I am so greatful to have this tool. Now I feel that I can/am doing it and without fear of failure.

People dont understand unless they have been there through the hope of success with a new product/method and then ultimately, the failure.

Tearing up now I must stop. I just wanted to share. Let's all rock on with our sleeves.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
