Topic: RE: Spring cleaning!
Isnt it great?!?! I came to work today with NO desier to be here, but decided i would make the best of it, I cleaned my office---even dusted! tossed out some old files, moved some IT equipment to storage, then went on down and started cleaning our common area. One of they guys said hey, you can clean mine next LOL. I said ok, but he said nah its cool. Then one of the ladies said "I want some of what youve got" It just feels good to feel good!!!! So I know exactly what you mean. I even cleaned and organized our supply room.
shoot at this rate I may not need to work out tonigh!!
Keep up the great work!

Topic: Off to care for gramdma!
OK I am going to keep posting and hope it catches on.
This weekend I have to go care for my grandma with Altzhimers. problem is before surgery I would spend this weekend eating chocolate and cook a desert. It is so much of a temptation (especially since when cleaning yesterday i found a recipie for Chocolate, Carmel and Pecan Tort!!!! Yummy) I have to bring some fruit or somehthing because that house if full of junk food. with so many family members coming in to care for her it seems that is everyones idea, SNACK TIME Maybe I will make some of Eggface's mini bites when I am there. it will give me something to cook and she might even eat those......
OK someone else post please. this is not my blogg and I dont want people to get tired of my pic all over the message board. I mean I know I am beautiful and all but..... ROFLOL

Topic: Spring cleaning!
Ok it is the local group loudmouth again today bragging about my achievement! I am spring cleaning my house. I work M_W_F so the days inbetween I am working like crazy. I am apx 1/2 of the way through and I have thrown out 6 bags of trash. I have 10 boxes for garage sale. I am loving how this feels. I cant believe how much energy I have to get this done. This weight loss has changed my whole life!!!
I do have to say I dont quite have as much energy as those little buggers, But I like them LOL

Topic: RE: Lets Get this Party Started!
I am a pretty hyper person LOL so maybe I will rub off on the others. If a couple of us post once a day it wont take long to rub off!
As for my 2 lbs a week I am estatic about it. At first when I was losing 2 lbs in month 2 it scared me because I figured it would slow down before now. But now I have basically come to realize that this is my weight loss rate. I am sure it will slow down eventually (it really will have to at some point) but untill then I am enjoing it!

Topic: RE: Lets Get this Party Started!
Pick away! I am no expert but my sleeve is great. I feel normal. I just ate about 2/3 of a sandwich and am very full. Now this was a small sandwich, I took the top of a burger bun and split it in half so I could have 2 pieces of bread LOL. I was tired of teh open face type.
As for goals I set monthly ones because they are easier to keep in sight and it gives me multiple victories. My main goal is months away and even 10 pounds can take more than a month. I am the type of Gal that likes to celebrate every chance I get so the monthly give me more excuses!

Topic: RE: Lets Get this Party Started!
Hi everyone! I'm new to the group, and new to the sleeve as well. I had a gastric band implanted in June '08, which slipped and resulted in emergency surgery in Sept '08. I elected to revise the band on my surgeon's advice that he had never seen one slip twice, and then mine did! After spending the last most of February and all of March approximately 80% obstructed, I had the band removed last week & converted to a sleeve.
I've lost 13 pounds in the last 10 days with the sleeve, compared to ZERO pounds lost in the last 6 months that I had the band. Also, no more puking, refluxing in my sleep, and no more pain/bleeding in my esophagus. I know it hasn't been very long, but I am SO happy I switched to the sleeve!
Emily, I can only hope to share a fraction of your success! 2 pounds a week is great, and they say you really shouldn't lose any faster than that anyway. I absolutely LOVE your idea of setting monthly goals. I think I will steal that idea, if you don't mind!
Anyway, I'm glad to be here and I will likely be picking your brains from time to time.
Looking forward to a bright future,
Natalie

Topic: Lets Get this Party Started!
I am new here but dont see too many post. So lets get it going :-)
I am a VSG patient and have been losing 2 lbs a week steady from the beginning, no big weeks (other than week one) and only one week with no loss, but then I lost 4 lbs the next week. MY question is, I hear that weight loss slows down at 6 months. Is this an all of a sudden thing or a slow change? Just curious since 6 months comes on the 22nd for me. i would love to keep losing at this rate untill I get to goal but know that is not a reasonable thing to expect.
