hi all,

I know that I have whined about the scale not moving and getting frustrated with those stalls.  Well, I just came back from my dr. for my 4 month post surgical follow-up (actually, its been 3 1/2 months).  I am way ahead of where he wou

just wanted to say hello as I had not noticed this category before.  I'm just a Het Ally and wanted to give you all a shout out.

Just got back from 25 miles in 2 hours.  This would not have been even a drug induced hallucination just 6 months ago.  Feeling stonger and healthier that I've felt in years.

I'm sorry for going around with this AGAIN, but I am in a stall of stalls and just don't get it.

I am about 3 months out from my sleeve and have been cranking along.  Now I have not lost an ounce in over 3 weeks.  I have been logging every bit

literally.

Please forgive the somewhat graphic nature of this post.  That's why I chose the Men's forum, figuring no one is going to think me a brute.

ok, so I'm about 3 months into my sleeve and things are going great, other

Just came from PCP.  6 weeks ago my lipid panel was so good she cut my statin in half to 10mg.  This time my total cholesterol was 111 with my ldl at 51.  My triglycerides were 96.  So she took took me off statin all together!!!

So the other day I was discussing our dinner options with my wife.  She has never had a weight problem but has been very supportive of my journey.  I also do all the cooking in the house because...well...she sucks at it (she freely admits this). 

I am at exactly 8 weeks out and have hit my second stall and it seems relentless.  I hit a 3 week stall fittingly at exactly 3 weeks and it lasted about a week.  I then started dropping again for a couple of weeks, but stalled again.  I have not droppe

hi.

I'm about 7 weeks out and doing fine.  I recently noticed I have a weird pain in my middle upper back.  Kind of right in the lower middle of my shoulder blades, right behind where my stomach/sleeve is.  I don't have any pain eatin

So out of necessity I went to buy some new clothes today. I bought a pair of Levi jeans in size 38!!! Granted they are a little snug, but completely wearable and not at all uncomfortable. But the 40's were too big, and I'm sure within just a couple of

It's official.  I now have pretty much nothing that fits!!! 

I've already gone through the clothing that I had "fatted" out of in recent years.  And now I am swimming in even those.  I am completely out of belt holes as well.  All of

I know its not the fabled 'onederland', but this morning I dipped below 250 weighing in at a joyful 249!!!

My original goal when I started on this board just a few months ago was to reach 240 by the end of the year.  Hmmm...time to rethink that

Seriously...I really think I hit the VSG lottery.  I was on my feet an hour after surgery while still in the recovery room.  I had no trouble at all taking in water and fluids from the moment they allowed it.  I have not had one single instance of naus

Hi all, I was wondering how, or if any of you came out publicly about your surgery.  I for one kept it to a very few close friends and family members leading up to surgery.  This was not out of shame or embarrassment, but simply so I wouldn't have to e

I heard this was possible but thought it was more common with bypass.  I am shocked because I was never very fond of them before, but now I absolutely love veggies...especially zucchini and yellow squash.  I actually have to remind myself not to eat it

hi all,
