    Re: Anorexia

    I have recently been told I am anorexic by my doctor. Wow how things can change, but all in all, I see how an eating disorder can be related to other eating disorders. I still see myself as the fat...

    Re: 1 Year Surgiversary TOMORROW!

    Congratulations to you! I'm coming up on my 2nd Surgiversary (January 24th). I am like you in that I have absolutely no regrets, my stomach holds more than it did 6 months ago, and I am eating...

    Re: Maintaining? I want to quit losing lol

    I am in a similar boat...Have surpassed my goal by 11.2 pounds. Not complaining, but my husband says if I get into the 120's, he's calling my surgeon and asking him if he left a hole in my stomach. ...

    Re: Bougie size Comparison

    My doctor used a 32 Fr bougie. All I know is I've been hugely successful. Not sure if it's due to the smaller instrument or what, but I'm thankful for the procedure!

    Re: Bye Bye Mr. Stall!

    And don't ever lose hope; I stalled from January to June. I hovered at about 147-149 that whole time. I thought that's where I'd stop losing, but I've gone down to 138.8 as of this morning. The...

    Re: 11 months and AT GOAL!

    My injury was due to a bicycle ride I did that was 30 miles and very windy...I was pushing too hard and strained the back side of my knee. That was last fall. I have since recovered from that, and...
  12. 15 months out and holding steady for 2 months

    Howdy all,
    I just wanted to give an update to everyone who is looking for information on sleevers who are farther out. I was sleeved on January 24th, 2011, so if I'm doing the math right, I'm about...

    Re: What about alcohol?

    I drink wine on a weekly basis. My only word of cautn would be that as you lose weight, just remember to take into consideration your actual weight in relation to the amount of alcohol you consume. ...

    Oh my! Amy! I am so sorry anyone told you that! The way I understand it, our stomach is fully functioning in the same way it was before surgery...since we have had no re-routing of our intestines,...

    When someone reaches out for help, the last thing they need is a slap in the face. Hollie, I feel your pain. Some snack (a.k.a. "slider") foods do go down far too easily once you've hit the...

    I am currently experiencing a hunger drive lately...I honestly think it has a lot to do with being cooped up inside during winter weather. I agree with what one earlier poster says about pumping up...
  17. Re: Exercise... when do you do it and how do you get motivated?

    I must admit, I have yet to develop a consistent exercise routine. In the summer I was very active on my bike and would regularly ride 10-30 miles. I injured my knee and that put me out at the end of...

    Re: Bm anyone?

    I regularly go 5-10 days with nothing. Your body simply doesn't have enough bulk to expel. It was very hard for me to get used to as well, as I used to have 2-3 per day. Probably the sheer...

    Re: 11 months and AT GOAL!

    Well, the one thing I do to keep myself in check is I periodically measure my food just to make sure I'm still eating 1/2 cup of food at meals. Surprisingly, my stomach still stops me at about that...

    Re: 8 months out and at stall.

    Your body truly does not know what to do with so few calories. Try upping it a bit (then it at least thinks "hey I'm not starving anymore") and see what happens. Just remember that when you get...

    I didn't hit any stalls until I started cycling more...burning tons of calories. I think my body freaked out because I wasn't eating enough. For the longest time, the scale wouldn't budge unless I...

    Almost 11 months, and 126 pounds down. Very quick in the beginning, and slows down considerably as time goes on. But the surgery is hugely successful for me, I'm 5' 6" and only 3.8 pounds from...
