I was Oct. 21st and I'm down 40. I also was hoping for much more, but I know I am fault.........I find old habits sneaking back, candy over Christmas, fast food because of traveling..........no...

I shared with people, one at a time. now that I'm losing so quickly and word does get around quickly I just am open about it. some people were judgy so I don't really listen to those people. I...
My girlfriend had similar issues with the band, she went to the sleeve and solved all the problems, go for it if you can, you should!
welcome aboard, you are almost there. how are you finding your pre surgical "diet" going? if you make it through that, after surgery is a breeze!!!
yup, I over did it for Christmas............I think you can be deprived for just so long and then, it caught up to me. I came off the hinges a bit, donuts!!! yes, I did.......my cousin opened a...
just saw this thread on us "older" sleevers. I'm 63 and so glad I did this. all my doctors I see are very happy I did this also. I'm a cancer survivor and may face more surgery so this will make me...
I made spaghetti last night, thought it would be no problem.........I was so wrong. it went down great......but oh man, so painful after. I know I ate too much because it slid down great. and I ate...
days when I don't want to eat much I like diet jello and lite cool whip. goes down easy! or sugar free and lite cool whip, do you see a pattern here?

hang in there Terri, it gets better. I didn't like the pureed stage either. I ate deviled canned ham spread, cottage cheese, applesauce and jello, just didn't like puree texture. I think I rushed...
are you getting excited for your date yet? I'm a sleever from Long Island and had Dr. Ahmad.
how you doing, I had the sleeve Oct 21 with Ahmad. have you been to support group, I've missed them due to scheduling but hope to start attending. any problems?
I needed to get more protein in, so I tried this recipe:
3/4 cup peanut butter with 3 scoops of Choc. unjury. mix one scoop at a time, roll into 11 balls and freeze. delicious and l0 grams of...
you are doing well so soon after surgery, it does get easier, hang in, life is great!
I'm going to put new batteries in my WII Fit tomorrow, fun and fitness!!!! thanks to everyone for getting this started!!!!
so sorry for your losses, sending healing hugs to you and your family.
I'm a movie goer and the temptation is in the "air" for sure. I'm been taking light cheese wedges and sweet potatoe low fat type chips. satisfies and the crunch is great!
back at the gym today..........check! thanks for starting this thread!!!! makes me accountable.
yes, for sure I need the same thing to get myself to the gym.
not too many options, but your are 7 weeks out. I had a road trip 3 weeks out and my choices were nil............so pack pack pack your own food. I love the protein pudding at GNC, tons of protein...
support and hearing from other is so critical, esp. when we ask ourselves, is this right. and it's not always during doctor's hours! ha ha

good luck, you'll do great!
