Guess what today is!! It's November 15th--our one-month sleeversary!

Happy Anniversary October 15th Sleevers!!

We've come a long way! There have been tough times' date=' and there are more to come, but we've had good times, too. Consider where we were two months ago. Remember the excitement you felt knowing your life was going to change soon? You made the decision to take control of your life--to live it on your own terms, and not let fear or cravings or hunger dictate your actions.

You took a huge leap of faith. And that faith WILL pay off. We believed it then & we have to believe it now. We CAN do this!! We have already come so far. Promise yourself you will not give up...you are worth the effort.

It's hard to believe that we're already a month on the other side!! No huge loses on the scale but I FEEL IT on my body, and I'm sure everyone else does too...it really is shrinking!

I'm finally on soft foods and figuring out this water/protein/food thing a bit better. And I feel like I'm "out of the woods" so to speak on the big, major complications.

All in all, I'm so happy with my decision and we are rockin' our sleeves, y'all!!!!

Well, I had my 1st "bad" sleeve experience last night. I had a small avocado for dinner; no issues. Then DH asked if I wanted a little bit of turkey sausage.

It was very lean and not spicy, and he cut me four very thin pieces. I chewed the hell out of them and ate really slowly, and they went down fine.

THEN, about 5 minutes later I got such horrible chest pain that I was in tears. It didn't matter what I did, I got no relief and it scared me. I never vomited or slimed but I was miserable for almost an hour.

Not sure if it was the spices in the sausage or I over-ate, but it really got my attention. I wish I knew what caused it so I could avoid it in the future.

I have lost almost 30 lbs so far but only 3 in the past 2 weeks. It was really discouraging and I wanted to quit but then I remembered my stomach was in a biohazard bin somewhere :-/.

I had popcorn yesterday at the twilight movie and it felt great. I have been starving myself of all the food I loved until I couldnt stand it. I think moderation is much better for me than complete avoidance.

[WifeyMaterial 139]

Yup that is so encouraging I only lost 3 pounds n two weeks

I started a 26 @ 289lbs and now my 24s are too big but 22s are uncomfortable on my hips when buttoned. How about you?

20 by Christmas would be great!
