Hey everyone!  I have been missing for almost a month now.  Alot has changed for me.  I have seperated from my husband, and have moved to South Carolina..after living in Michigan for my entire life. Boy are things different here..but I'm loving it!

I had my sleeve on April 16, 2010...starting weight was 354 lbs,  today I am 191.  I haven't weighed myself in almost a month and am sure i am less than that right now because of how my clothes are fitting..but my last known weight was 191. 

I can still only eat 2.5 oz of dense protein.  One boneless chicken tenderloin is a meal for me.  I still cannot drink after eating or i get physically ill.  I wait at least 20 minutes.  That is probably still the hardest part for me, choosing whether to eat or drink.

I still have no hunger, instead I get an empty type feeling so i know my stomach is needing food..but not hunger.  I have never had any issues with heartburn.  I am very happy with my choice in having the sleeve.  If any one has any questions, please feel free to ask..I love to help out others who are going down this same road.

Some pictures below to help motivate you...
