Well she IS alive! Great to hear from you! Congrats on doing so well... I know you were a little frustrated early, but it looks like you came on great!

[panda 14]

lol Gee, HI TER!!!!! missed you too!!!!

Yeah at 4 months out, I'm down 65 pounds, been slacking on the exercise the past couple of weeks but that is sooooo about to change since my hours have changed so I will have more time for me! I've gone from a 24/26 to a 16. Congrats to you both on your successes!!!

[Geeewhy 30]

That's great Panda! Sounds like you're shrinking right on down! Great feeling, isn't it?

[panda 14]

For sure! Feels super good!

GeeeWhy! Hi...... I just saw your tickers and I'm so happy for you. what a success! You must be so proud of yourself. Congrats on the good work! Terri

[Ter72 3]

Panda! I see you are still doing great! Congrats! I just signed my offer letter at m new job. I will actually have consistent stable hours so I'm looking forward to exercising at least three times a week or so. My hair still falling out. I have difficulty eating steak and chicken. Still drinking a Protein Shake a day. I'm down another five lbs since I last posted. The loss is very slow now....... But there is only ten mor pounds to go! Have a great day! Terri

[Geeewhy 30]

Hey Ter! Glad to hear you're doing well. I'm still doing at least 1 Protein Shake a day as well, and still can't eat much volume as far as chicken. I do ok with Steak. Sorry to hear about your hair... thankfully I haven't had to deal with that. Of course, I wasn't blessed with flowing locks in the first place, hahaha. Keep at it!

[panda 14]

Omg Gee you've only got 69 pounds to go!!! Awesome job! I'm past the halfway mark finally =D And at 6 months so right on track! I'm so happy for all of us great job guys!

[Geeewhy 30]

Hey Panda!

I'm shocked at how well it's gone, and I can't believe I only have 69 lbs to go. You're right with me though, only 81 for you! Amazing how quickly this 6 months has gone by. Hope you all are doing well... keep at it and we'll all be there in no time... like Ter pretty much already is, haha.

[Geeewhy 30]

Happy belated 7 months, 9/20'ers!

[panda 14]

Same to you Geee!!! 60 to go yay you!!! I've got 70 something! =DD It's sped up since the last time I posted, I make sure I work out every single day, it really kicked things into gear again. Hope all is well everyone!

Hello Gee and Panda'! Was thinking about you guys! Happy belated 8 month surgeryversary. So happy that you are both getting so close to goal. My doc says I've reached my goal (when i was at 160lbs). I'm at 150lbs now and I feel like a brand new person. My biggest non scale victory was picking out bikinis for the summer. The last time I wore a bikini I was seven years old. So, my hair is still falling out. I've read that this can be normal, but still, it frustrates me. I still drink a Protein Shake a day. I exercise by playing on two tennis teams a month. I always take the stairs when I am running around all day at the hospital! I love that I can walk into a social event and complete strangers stop me and tell me that I look beautiful. I love the person that I have transformed into and it shows - I am glowing - and people notice! Little do they know my lifetime struggle of what it took for me to finally be the person I am today. I am so grateful for the sleeve. I am so grateful for our unconditional support

Have a great day,

Ter

Happy 8 to you as well! You look fantastic, and more importantly you look happy! I'm glad to see you're doing so well. I'm still drinking 1, at least 1, Protein shake per day as well, and I think I will for the foreseeable future. It's a great way to get Protein and it's a good quick Breakfast for me. For exercise I would love to play tennis, but my knees, well one of them for sure, are still pretty mad at me for the abuse of the last 15 years. That's all rounding into shape though. I hope to hit 200 lbs off within the next few weeks. With the exception of the knee, I couldn't be more happy with where I am now. I've been to concerts, sporting events, the beach, played rounds of golf... all stuff I couldn't do, or at least could barely manage before. It's a great new world out here .

So what beach were you at in February?

Hi guys!!!! Omg Ter you look great!!!!! So happy for all of us. For me I've had a complication but I've trucking through it. I became Lactose intolerant with sucks like everything has milk in it! I'm even reacting to things with a ton of Soy in it at times =( Oh well I'd rather be like this then 100 pounds heavier! I'm 1 pound away from ONDERLAND =)) I've still got 50+ pounds to lose to get to my first real end-goal of 145. I'm happy this summer won't be horrible I'm not all hot like last summer and I'm loving being outside. I've never seen 1-- anything on the scale in my life Not that I can remember the lowest I'd ever seen was 205 and that was back in middle school. It's amazing what the sleeve has done for us guys. Everyone keep up the good work! Yay us!!!
