Hahah. Well Im not even a year out, so you are actually the example I look towards. How did you loose the weight the first time? Do whatever works best for you 8) You can do it.

It sounds like two things. Less activity due to your new job, and empty calories from wine. I too love to have a glass of wine after work. However, even if I track it and make sure to stay under my...

Can totally relate. Happens to me every time I eat too fast or too much. Even if I don't feel the restriction yet, its my queue to stop eating. Usually my brain just needs to catch up to my stomach.

Not going to lie, it took us a bit to find our groove here, But as non-Mormons as well we still love it. My kids are still young, but we have tended to gravitate towards other couples with similar...

I made sure to wear tank top underneath all of my clothes, which seemed to help the scabs from catching on things. It was sore but is healing nicely. Hang in there.

I like using an insta-pot. It does hard boiled egg so quickly! I use the skinny taste website / facebook page for a lot of recipes. Skinnytaste.com

We moved from Seattle to Utah in 2007 and have loved living here!! You can ski, boat, hike, mtn bike, see a Broadway show. It seriously has it all. It has a lower cost of living than a lot of the...

Welcome Feisty! I am about a month and a half post op. I have found this forum to be a HUGE help. There is so much great info, and the success stories show that hard work pays off. Its inspiring.

I was under the impression that drinking while eating stretches your sleeve.

Hey all, just thought that I would post a quick update. I am almost 2 weeks post op (Monday), and feeling pretty good. Still on liquids, but not disliking it too bad. I just find it is hard to get...

5 months will fly by, especially with the holidays and everything coming up. Like the others have mentioned, there are things you can focus on now that should help. I spent quite a bit of time on...

You look amazing!!! You were beautiful then, but even more beautiful now! Keep up the hard work.

I'll let you know if I like the taste, and what I think once I give it a shot. I know All Roker was all about it after he had gastric bypass, and when looking at the nutrition facts I was impressed....

@christie13 Is the flavorless protein you are referring to a powder? This sounds interesting.

Sugar free popsicles, nice suggestion! Ya, protein shakes can be tricky. I recently switched to a vegan shake, and it's not nearly as good as the whey shake I had been eating previously. I'm kind of...

Thank you so much for your advice! That is good to hear, because I was pretty worried about getting bored with broth and straight liquids.

How did surgery go? I am also in UT, and will be getting sleeved this month, and traveling alone. Good luck to you!

I think it is normal to have a roller coaster of emotions. I know I sure have! This place is great, and I have met some incredible people! There is a lot of information on this, so read read read!...

Hello All! I will be getting sleeved on August 21st, and just tying to plan as much as possible now to be prepared. For the first few weeks on liquid I have been trying to find "healthy" broth with...

Pam,

Are you still a vegetarian post sleeve? I eat very little meat, because when I do I have severe bloating and feel like crap for the next day or two. I have been following the proteinoholic...

@alazyrider I am about your same weight when you started. Thanks for the words of encouragement. You look great! Looking forward to my journey.

I love egg drop soup! Thanks for the suggestion.

People can be so rude on here. Some start at 400 lbs, some start at 200 lbs, some start at 180.. EVERYONE is someones goal weight. Lets keep the conversation supportive, and civil.

How did your surgery go? I see you switched and went with Dr. Illian instead of Dr. Corvala. How has your post op care been handled? Have you joined a support group? I am scheduled for surgery...

Good luck with your surgery! I will be having my surgery a few weeks after you.
