Hey guys! I haven't posted anything in awhile, but I am doing great.  I am stabilizing at a 8-10 bottom and medium top!! I love being able to go into almost any store and pick up clothes knowing they are going to fit for the most part!! I have adjusted pretty well to my sleeve and know how to eat.  I know what's a waste of time and what I may spend 30min trying to eat because it is so good!! I have given up a lot of my old comfort foods because there is really no point trying to eat some of them especially the meats.  I still get the old feelings of wishing I can eat everything on my plate, but at times I trick myself and just fix a very small plate then I get the justification of finishing it all when it is clear.  It is still hard for me to eat around people that don't know I have had the surgery.  They always ask questions when we go out to eat and I box more than half of my food to go...I just remind them that I lost this weight from eating small portions and that is what I am going to continue to do...eat small portions.  They are OK with that response most of the time!  If I had the chance I would probably do the surgery all over again because I love the results!  The only thing is that sometimes, I still see the "old" me and wonder was it really worth it, but it is!!  Co-workers and others around still ask am I still loosing weight...I AM NOT!! in fact I gained 6lbs...that's small, but still a little scary!! Sometimes I think I can actually see and feel that six pounds; I don't know if that's crazy or if I really can.  I hope you all are enjoying your sleeve and those that are just beginning...IT IS WORTH IT!!!

Talk you guys soon!

Well I am 2months and a couple weeks out and I have lost 50lbs.  I am so excited!!  Everyone is noticing.  I took a picture the other day and almost scared myself...I HAVE A NECK!!! I'm looking small, but I am excited!  Thank you SLEEVE!!

Hey guys...today is my birthday and I want to go out to eat, but can't.  I guess I'll be finding something else to do in order to celebrate my day.

 

Hey guys...Im ready to eat. Ok, I dont have to eat anything big, I just want something my teeth can grind...lol.  I am 7 days out and have lost 8-10lbs already!!! Im feeling good, just when I drink I get a lot of gurggling in my chest.  I had a rough experience the day of and around my surgery because I had a bad cold, but am feeling better.  My cousin and mom who have had this surgery and are really encouraging me and letting me know FOOD IS COMING!! I appreciate them so much!  Thanks to all of you that are encouraging as well!  Keep me in your prayers as I will do the same for you!

Ok...I'm only hours away!!  The plane leaves at 6:15am.  I dont think Im going to take my lap top with me, so I wont post again until I get back.  I tried to chew and swallow as much as I could today...LOL.  I'll be talking to you soon!

Hey guys.  OMG I can't believe I am only a few days away from the biggest decision I've ever made in my life.  This is so scary.  My surgery is Tuesday December 21st.  I will be flying out to Mexico Monday.  I've said this b4, but what I am most nervous about is trying to learn how to eat again.  Going from eating whatever I want to sips of liquids in the first month...wow!!!  I find myself gulping whatever I am drinking and eating my last GOOD meals b4 I go because I know its going to be a while b4 I will be able to do those things. One thing that makes it better for me is I have a GREAT support team at home, my mom and cousin, both have had the same surgery.  I'm also happy that this website is available so I can read the information from others to know I am not the only one going through this at this time.  O'well I can't turn back now.  I thank GOD for giving me this opportunity and I know he wont let me down!!  I am so ready for the results...my mom and cousin look wonderful and I want to be right there with them.  Keep me in your prayers and Ill do the same for you!! 

Hello all.  My surgery is set for December 21, 2010. I am so nervous.  I just keep thinking, what if it doesnt work for me...
Even after looking at various profiles of people who have had the VSG I still cant believe it will happen for me.  I want this so bad!  I have never been small in my life, so the unknown is scary!  Pray for me please.
