    Re: What a difference a year makes

    I don't mind sharing my key lessons learned.

    1. It's a lifestyle change, not a diet. I haven't felt like I was "dieting" post op. I eat what I eat, and thats it. My diet is not any different than...
  2. Re: Two questions for ALL sleevers (Is that a word? :) Need as much info as possible.

    If you are looking for the surgery with the fewest long-term complications, I would recommend the sleeve. Don't take anyone's opinion though. Fully research your choices and make an informed decision.
  3. Re: Two questions for ALL sleevers (Is that a word? :) Need as much info as possible.

    1)How many of you still have considerable amount of hunger..and the hunger never changed post op.

    What a difference a year makes

    I had surgery 1 year ago today. The biggest difference for me is in how I feel. I could speak of losing 18 inches from my waist, or the 170 lbs I've lost, or the fact that I'm on no more medications....

    Re: Measure by weight or volume?

    Measuring food is not the reason why I had the surgery. My reason was to get healthy. I don't want to constantly think about nutrition facts and whatnot. I eat what I feel like, but I eat only when...

    Re: What are your monthly weight loss goals?

    Monthly weight loss goals are simply trying to set yourself up for failure... I look more at how I feel, how much total I've lost, how much more I want to lose and then also at the inches that I've...

    Re: Be Careful with Those Carbs!

    I sometimes wonder why all the different recommendations that people receive from their doctors/nuts.

    When I last spoke with my surgeon we discussed this issue. From what he said, you would have to be full to the point of pain every time that you ate if you were able to stretch your stomach. The part...
