My doctor warned about the "honeymoon phase" too, but in relation to the weight not coming off as quick and have to work harder to see results. He told me it was 12-18 months out from surgery. I...

Maybe you just need to tell them that you will just pay for your own food/drink. I don't think they would be upset or offended if you just explain that you can't eat or drink much. It really is not...

ha ha....I love this thread. After losing around 70 pounds, I have been able to actually buy boots that fit around my calves which I couldn't do before! I also can shop in regular sizes (still XL),...

Thank you all for the kind words. I am back on track today with trying to get all my protein in. I am struggling a little with the water intake, but overall doing really well. I am telling myself...

Very true. I put others before myself all the time. I guess we all need to take care of ourselves first, but it will be hard to do. Good luck with your upcoming surgery and keep us posted on how...

Thank you all so much for your encouraging words. I appreciate it so much :)

Thank you, Kenson. You are right, this is the first step. I am going to get back on track and get to my goal weight. Thank you for your encouraging words and congratulations to you for being newly...

Okay guys, I am coming to realize some things about myself and about the surgery. I have not been on here in a while because well I guess I got busy with life. I have realized that I need this...

My doctor told me that I might feel hungry again (which I do sometimes), but it won't be like before when you could sit down and eat a whole pizza kind of hungry. I believe it is different for...

Thanks for the tips/comments. I am going to give some of your ideas a try :cool:

Thank you.

Hey guys, I haven't been on in a while. I am still having some problems with finding something that I like to drink. I am really sensitive to the artificial sweeteners (the taste of them) and so I...

I agree with everyone else, find a new doctor! I have (had) insulin resistance and it is extremely hard almost impossible to lose enough weight to make a positive impact on your health if you have a...

Don't be too hard on yourself. I have plateaus pretty regularly. It is like my body tries to hold on to every pound. Some people lose easier than others. Just keep following the plan. Also,...

Congrats on your surgery day! I remember those same feelings before and up to the moment they were wheeling me back to the OR area. I even woke up feeling regretful which I hear is a pretty common...

I have had a burger when in a pinch and need some protein, but I do not eat the bun and can only usually eat about 1/2 of it, sometimes a little more. I used to love French fries before surgery and...

That is great! I can't wait to hit one-derland! I had my surgery on 01/31 and have had so many stalls and they seem to last forever. It is hard not to get discouraged. So far, I have lost 39...

I was off the metformin immediately after surgery because where you are not able to eat anything. My PCP never started it back. I came off the blood pressure medication probably 2 months after...

It has been a while since I have updated. I have been busy with a new job and just life in general it is hard sometimes to remember to take the time and update and read posts.

I am 13 weeks out...

Yes, I agree with you all. It is definitely not on our "to do" list. If I could have lost the weight myself, I would not have put myself through the surgery and all the negativity that some people...

I was sleeved on 01/31 and have no regrets except I wish I would have had the surgery years ago. There is always a risk as with ANY surgery you have, so you have to weigh the risks versus the...

Congrats and good luck! Wishing you a fast and easy recovery.

I had my sleeve on 01/31 and have had several stalls. My doctor said it was totally normal and expected and that I was on track with my loss. I have lost 31 pounds. I am eager to break the 200s...

Everyone's taste is different. My nutritionist gave me a sample of Premier Protein and I loved it and that is what I have used since surgery. I have hated every other one I have tried! The...

Don't feel bad. I was sleeved on 01/31 and have stalled for the past few weeks. It is frustrating! Everyone says it is completely normal, but I still wish the scale would move. I had the same...
