It has been just over 18 months since my sleeve. I felt like a super star! I did everything right and never cheated for quite a while. I went from 238 to 150 and then it happened. I have been "white...

Just checking in. It's been a long time since I visited. I was 238 when I started this journey. I got down to 150 and I am back up to 165 now. These 15 pounds snuck up on me, but life has been beyond...

Had surgery 12/11/12...went from 238 to 150 and have started going back the other direction. I weighed 165.6 this morning after eating way too much valentine's candy and grazing for 2 and a half...

One thing that I liked A LOT was the Idaho instant flavored potatoes (about $1 a bag and it made 4 servings for me) made really thin and I added in Gerber meat baby food (there is ham, turkey, and...

I fell off it a while back...well, really it was more of a gradual slip than a fall. I was sleeved on December 11, 2012. My highest weight was 238 and my lowest weight was 150. I am guessing I'm...

Hello fellow sleevers. I haven't been on the website or posted in a while. I'm 8 months out and I have totally screwed myself with my poor eating habits. I was doing great! I have lost 83 pounds in...

Mine doesn't recommend it - only because if you swallow it, it can plug the opening of your pouch. I suppose it could happen. I've never heard not to chew gum because of air though. I chew gum daily...

I like being in school because my eating schedule is more consistent. I always have a protein shake or protein bar during break and I pack a healthy lunchbox every day. I fill my lunchbox with lean...

I've heard of the pouch test, but not the book. What is it? and where do you buy it?

My original goal was to lose 100 pounds and I'm 18 pounds away...I want to lose 5 more after that...my weight will be 133 pounds. I am so close I can taste it! It's coming off slowly now, but I am...

Same here - finally slowing down at 7 months post-op. I started Biotin 5000 about a month ago and already see some improvement. Hoping the worst is over. I do great with my protein and always have. I...

I lost really fast too for about 4-5 months...then it slowed way down to only 5 pounds or so a month. I am doing almost everything right. Eating well, and exercising, and still the scale won't budge.

Same here. I could not be happier with my weight loss but it has stalled, despite the fact that I walk or jog between 2 and 5 miles 6 days a week. My clothes are still getting smaller but the scale...

Funny! I loved hot & sour soup for a while...so flavorful!!!

Betsyryn- we have the same start weight and goal! I'm about 6.5 months out and down 80 pounds...my weight loss has slowed way down the last couple of months. Nice to "meet" you!

My doc does it a little different. For women, they take 100 pounds for 5 feet and 5 pounds for every inch above that. That would make your "ideal" weight 145 pounds. Now subtract that from 274 and...

I cheated a little too...I was sleeved on 12/11 and I ate Christmas dinner on 12/25. Now I only ate a few bites but I had ham, mac-n-cheese, pineapple, mashed potatoes and bread. I chewed the heck...

Pure Protein comes in a can - I like the flavors mint chocolate, cookies and cream, and banana cream. I buy them online. I love Premier Protien chocolate the best. I buy them at Sams Club. I also...

I've lost 75pounds so far - which is great but I was hoping to lose 100 pounds by my 6 month anniversary, June 11th. That's not gonna happen! I would like to lose 25-30 more. I am 38 years old and...

I also gave up soda early on, way before I started my Pre-Op diet - I was a diet coke addict. Try different shakes...I like Premier Protein from Sam's Club, EAS Carb Control from Walmart and a brand...

After many weeks of stalls, even a 6pound gain, I have finally lost 75 pounds. It took five months and one week. I have 30 more to go to reach my final goal. So happy today!

:D

I got one - but I never use it. Not because I'm embarrassed, but most restaurants will let you order from the kids menu no questions asked. The other reason is what was said above - I'd rather buy a...

I had toast at 3 weeks post op. I use Sara lee 45 calorie whole wheat and spray butter. Just start slow and chew well :0)

I lost 26 pounds in two weeks I think? The weight fell off so fast for me but everyone is different. I recently stalled so I am on day 4 of the pre-op diet again. I have lost 5 pounds in 3 days. I'm...

You will love it! What is your pre-op diet? Everyone seems to be different. I was never hungry on mine, but I did get sick of everything be cold and mushy. The only warm thing I could have was soup...
