Looks great! I will have to give it a try. Thanks!

That is great! Keep going!

Ann - way to go! I love how steady you have been and I love how supportive you are to all of us. 👀❗️

Yes, get rid of the scales and go to a tape measure. Muscle weighs more than fat. Having said that, double check your diet, too. Exercising does increase hunger and it is so easy to mentally tell...

Got you in my prayers! I am very happy to learn you are doing so well! Welcome to the sleeved see!

Laila, I echo what someone above said about the scales - put them away. Weight loss is not a linear event, we drop some, we hold some, and we drop some more. Be sure you are following the post op...

Good luck! Having it done by some one whose work you respect is great. I am sending my well wishes to you.

Kris, I do not believe you have failed because you are asking for help. I don't know, but I doubt you have stretched your pouch. I am only 5 months out, but I can eat bread with no problems and...

I often eat from nerves. My chosen foods are plums any frozen pop cycles, if that isn't enough,I have another sugar pop. It keeps moe grounded and focused. How are off track and don't make...

Welcome! There is a ton of information here and many who can answer questions.

Anyone called IrishAngel but be treated well and with respect. Welcome!

Mine is what my grandchildren call me - Ema. It is Hebrew for mother.

Thanks for the article. It is interesting. The 18% of sleeve patients who showed hypoglycemia did so during a glucose tolerance test where they were given a bolus of sugar. The hypoglycemia was in...

You are not being a downer, you are being honest about your experience. At some level we all know this can happen, but we imagine it won't be us. I am really sorry you are having such a hard time...

I am sorry you are considering not being sleeved because of the slight chance of reactive hypoglycemia. They call it reactive because it happens in response to a high carb/sugar meal or snack. If...

Love it!

Hey, I am with you! Four months out and my hair is falling like a gentle snow. I am ok so far, it shows, but not so bad I feel like I have to do anything to cover it up.

Glad to see you are...

I think you made a good choice. I use the muscle milk lite.....fewer calories, etc. with 20 grams of protein.

I went to Mexico and have been very pleased. The sleeve may or may not improve your diabetes. It will depend on what you eat post surgery. I wish you well on your decision!

You can do it! I know being in KY where smoking is still common doesn't help, but you can do it. Picture yourself slimmer and smelling great. You don't have to quit forever.......you just have to...

Hello, Kelly! Welcome to the forum. There is a lot of information here and a lot of very supportive folks. Glad to have you join us!

I am back on track after the holidays and being away from home for 3 weeks. I start with my exercise partner next week. I have not exercised since my surgery except for walking. Glad you are back...

Jennah, places like that do exist. There are both inpatient and outpatient. Some are combined with substance abuse recovery because the disorders are similar. You can Google eating disorder...

I took the capsule whole right after surgery. I put it in the back,of my mouth and took a swallow of water. The shell on the capsule dissolves. Good luck!

Me, too! I had just about when an east task I'd begun!
