    you will lose the weight if you work the tool! I will tell you that carbs are the enemy... some are ok... sprouted breads or whole grain (not wheat). Pizza, sweets and all that other junk, needs to really be a thing of the past. Now I do take a bite or two of someones dessert, and then call it a day! I have had my binges along the way, though much more low key, because I can't physically gorge... thank God! But what I have found is that, the sleeve keeps me from gaining weight. When I have had "bad times" of eating, i just stay the same, but as soon as I get back on fruits, veges, nuts, seeds, eggs and meats and cheeses and yogurts, i lose. I also find that eating every 3 hours a small amount, keeps me going and very healthy. It is a time for you to really pay attention to your body and listen to what it says. I have found the Paleo way of eating is the best for me. i loved the early times of the sleeve, as it made me get to know myself. I didn't start exercising until i started to slow the weight down... then i found that i would lose quick again. So i saw this in phases and set small goals as I went. I had the Long term goal of course, but that was too overwhelming to think about. I set small 10-15 lb goals and small physical activity goals. It really is a time to be all about you! i found you can "trick the sleeve" and gain weight, so you have to be very aware of what you are doing. I have used tools like WebMD tracker. I love that program. It is free

    Thanks so much Dani, I really appreciate it. The first 100 was a piece of caked. The second hundred is hard work! I am in training to get it all off now, so i can go for my skin removal surgeries. I just peeked at your progress... amazing!! big loss in short time. I started 375 pre surgery diet, lost 25, then surgery weight 350. Today, 215. I can't wait for 16 more pounds. I never thought i would see onederland again! I wish you all the very best, and please reach out to me if you ever need any support from someone who was way beyond big. The real big can turn their lives around and transform their entire bodies. I wouldn't have believed it unless it happened to me!

    Conrats on making the choice to change your life. I was sleeved Jan 12,2013 and it was the best thing I could have done. I am part of a great suppory goup on Facebook. It's for people who are thinking about weight loss surgery, pre-op and post-op. The group it set to secret. No one on your facebook page will know your a member of the group or see any post you make. If you feel that this will help you along your journey, message me and I will add you to the group. Good luck on your journey.

    Hi Dani, I love Dr. Lautz. He is a great surgeon. When I had my surgery, he practiced at BWH. I have gone to his new place for followup. I like it. He has a good team. At BWH, he booked surgery for me in my initial consult which was three months after the consult. I don't know how the new hospital work. It really depends on your insurance and his schedule. Good luck. You are in good hands.
