So Brave Lady Grace!
good question.... Do u mean nutritionally or psychologically?
I completely relate to you. Lately I've been sliding back to old ways. I want to be normal and eat like others-- but I have to accept that I cannot do that. My body handles carbs differently. I must...
Oh, so glad I stumbled onto this thread. I am in the same boat Batman-- sleeved in June 2013 and recently the pounds are creeping back on. I'm up 12 lbs. It's scaring me like crazy. I can't get out...
You can always read about Atkins and Paleo diets for an understanding of how carbs affect the body and what choices to make for low carb. For me, I am extremely carb sensitive and can only eat 20 or...
If you have metabolic syndrome then you are insulin resistant and probably should not be taking in too many carbs in a day, even if you are keeping your calorie count low. If so, perhaps the peaches...
Its so uplifting to see someone who started at close to my weight and has nearly reached goal in 6 months!! Good for you!! I can't imagine being so close to my goal in 6 months!

Thanks for the inspiration, because we started at about the same weight, and have about the same...

**Syntax Nectar- Cappuccino & Lemon Tea (bought at Vitamin...
Uped my fluid intake and lost 2 pounds! :cool: I am so glad I have this helpful group of people who can support and guide me on this life-changing journey! Thanks to all!

*Painting my toenails comfortably.
*Flying coach & buckling the seat belt.
*Walking without my shorts riding up.
*Crossing my legs in skirts & dresses.
Queenmaud, we had our surgeries about the same time-- mine was on June 10th. My weight loss has stalled too. Actually it has slowed to a grind. I know I don't need to weigh daily because I'm driving...
Hi Lucy. I, too, am in Virginia. I had the VGS on 6/10/13 and am doing very well. I really don't know much about the reflux issue, but I think the advantages of preserving your normal stomach are...
Lucy, I'd love to have a buddy on this journey! I had surgery on 6/10/13, so we are very close in the process.
We had surgery on the same day. I feel the same as you. Weird sensations as liquids go down, gas moving around inside, hunger pains... I'm trying to stay focused and trust what others say about the...
I was just worrying about the same thing. This is day 2 for me and everything feels weird and sounds weird.
Thanks for the wisdom & experience.
It is inspiring to hear about your success. You both got into gear right away and the pounds are falling off! Good luck!
