Your unsolicited advice is great! You said that very well. I had my sleeve in 2013 and lost 103 lbs. I am currently down 79, so I've gained and am working very hard to get it off. I did the...

Best wishes. I'm sure all will go real well. Be prepared to really follow the after diet protocol that your surgeon's office outlines. You don't want to mess up this opportunity to lose and keep...
You will not fail. I lost 100 pounds the first 9 months without much exercise. Now that I've lost the initial weight from the surgery, I have started being more active. When my back was sore the...
Great job. I would love to keep hearing how you are doing!
Fantastic! You're doing great!
Hi Wayne,
I was 247 the day of surgery (278 at my highest), but only 5'2. No diets worked for me. At the most I would lose 30 lbs. and never kept it off. Have diets worked for you? Is the...
I've always been one to tell too much about myself, so as usual I told by co-workers, family, and friends. Everyone has been very supportive. I will not post it on facebook because I don't...
Congratulations! I'm looking forward to hearing about your progress. Sounds great already!
That is hilarious...but it really might help.
Too funny....I am actually only about 10 lbs over my weignt now on my license compared to 75 over! LOL!
Congratulations! I remember how getting that call felt and I am so excited for you!
To be honest, I just found a food that I can not have at work and that is Blue Diamond Honey roasted almonds. Almonds are a good nut to eat, but not when you eat the whole 6 oz can over a period of...
I have had a lot of pain in my butt too due to less padding. I bought a cushion for about $40 on-line. The RelaxoBak Back and Tailbone Orthopedic Comfort Cushion with a 3 Year "Won't Go Flat"...
My nose does start running when I'm eating. I guess I'm going to have to pay more attention to that and see if it is a good signal to stop eating.
Be the way...congratulations on your weight...
I'm wondering if that is part of my problem. I feel like I'm on a diet and I never wanted to think that way again. It is what got me in trouble in the first place. I do have occasional chips and...
Oh yeah....and I'm going to start strength training.
I'm going to get my butt off the chair and onto the stationary bike in my basement. I'm also going to attempt to walk on the treadmill at work a couple of days a week. I have to drive a ways to get...
I did the 5 day pouch test and it is worth giving it a shot. I didn't lose a great deal, but it helped me get my focus back. I hope you get the 15 pounds off. It can be frustrating. I think my...
I lost weight from May until February, so 9 months, then I stopped losing. It is very difficult for me to lose now.
I hope you are approved in no time and can get your journey started!
I am married and have not experienced this. That being said, I wonder how your attitude would change if the shoe was on the other foot and it was your husband who was having "fun" with someone else....
I was fine until a year or so after marriage. During high school I was always on the go and didn't really think about food. Once I got married and started cooking, which I enjoyed, I cooked things...
Thanks for your response. Do you generally stay away from protein bars too then?
My body has really decided it likes the 195 pound range and I don't. I would like to lose another 40 or 50 pounds, but it doesn't want to seem to budge. I will admit that I could be exercising more...
Wow...great job. I say keep doing what you're doing until you get to your goal weight. It doesn't appear that your surgeon thinks you need to stop losing at that rate. The surgeon and nutritionist...
