I did my research and lots of prayer. My prayers lead me to the Sleeve and I love my decision. Good luck to you!

Topic: Workout

I joined a gym on Saturday. And I had my first workout with the personal trainer. Do I hurt. My trainer had me doing squats, weights and the bicycle. That was it. My arms and shoulders hurt. thighs hurt and my legs are wobbly. Oh yes, he had me so warmup and stretching. Still hurts.

I am not complaining. Just venting. I did ask for this. It is all part of the weight loss process. Going back tonight for another workout. May just do the bicycle and give my arms a break. I used muscles yesterday I haven't used in years.

Taking it one day at a time.

Topic: RE: !

It must be one of those kinda days because I was thinking about BAF too and decided to update as well. I just updated my pictures but I pretty much look the same as a year out, which definitely NOT a bad thing

I wish you the best and wanted to say hello to you and the BAF famliy as well...Not sure how many of you remember me but I really couldn't have made it through the first 2 years without the support. God Bless and take care.

My goal 135; current 132; pre-op highest 285; I have lost more than I weigh... I

my RNY!

I chose sleeve because everyone I know that got gastric bypass is either nearly bald or in the midst of an eating disorder.

I'm only a week out but I haven't experienced anything that really gives me pause. Basically, it was sleeve or nothing.

Topic: An email from the medical group

While I was at work I received an email from North Shore University. Since I work for the corporation, I didn't pay it any attention. Then I realized that the email had something to do with WLS. They sent me a link to a website, www.startemmi.com where you are required to watch informational videos about various WL surgical options. It's was pretty detailed. Even though I have my mind made up about which surgery I want to undergo, I am curious as to how others feel about their choice, particularly the sleeve vs. Laproscopic gastric bypass.

Thank you ladies for your warm welcome. This forum reminds me a lot like Chocolate Brides, but for weight loss! And trust me, I will definitely be throwing my questions out there.
