mikavick 13 Posted April 24, 2012 My name is Mike I am 35 years on. I had Gastric Sleeve Surgery April 2011. At the time of the surgery I weighed 529 pounds I am a year in and I currently weigh 355 pounds! Feeling great! Still have alot of work but its a whole lot easier now! Do get me wrong I still have my bone head moments like eating to much or to fast! It takes alot of work! But if I can do it everybody can! Good Luck to anyone who is in the first stages and keep up the good work! 9 3lilrams, ChristineS NY, I WONT MISS ME and 6 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gettinthinner 4 Posted April 25, 2012 Wow, what success you have had, I appreciate that you say you have had some challenges with eating too fast or too much. I am less than three months but do wonder why I seem to be such a slow learner. I continue to eat too quickly or without paying attention to eating and then feel uncomfortable. I don't seem to recognize that I have eaten too much until I have eaten that one spoonful too many, But hearing your success story is just what I needed to hear today. Way to go! Thanks for the inspiration. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cherrybomb 54 Posted April 25, 2012 I am less than three months but do wonder why I seem to be such a slow learner. I continue to eat too quickly or without paying attention to eating and then feel uncomfortable. Sign me up as another slow learner. I usually catch on to things quickly but for the life of me, I can't remember to eat slow! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
