I have recently been told I am anorexic by my doctor. Wow how things can change, but all in all, I see how an eating disorder can be related to other eating disorders. I still see myself as the fat...
Congratulations to you! I'm coming up on my 2nd Surgiversary (January 24th). I am like you in that I have absolutely no regrets, my stomach holds more than it did 6 months ago, and I am eating...
Thank you for your reply.
Anyone heard of someone developing anorexia after WLS?
I am in a similar boat...Have surpassed my goal by 11.2 pounds. Not complaining, but my husband says if I get into the 120's, he's calling my surgeon and asking him if he left a hole in my stomach. ...
My doctor used a 32 Fr bougie. All I know is I've been hugely successful. Not sure if it's due to the smaller instrument or what, but I'm thankful for the procedure!
I am 18 months out from Gastric Sleeve surgery, and have surpassed my goal of weighing 150 pounds by 10 pounds. This morning I weighed 138.8. I have recently started losing again after a several...
And don't ever lose hope; I stalled from January to June. I hovered at about 147-149 that whole time. I thought that's where I'd stop losing, but I've gone down to 138.8 as of this morning. The...
No, I never dreamt I would have to think about losing too much weight! I know not everyone has the results I have had, but I am so very thankful that this worked for me. I've decided that if I get...
I am actually 41 years old, and THANK YOU for the compliment!!!!!
My injury was due to a bicycle ride I did that was 30 miles and very windy...I was pushing too hard and strained the back side of my knee. That was last fall. I have since recovered from that, and...
Howdy all,
I just wanted to give an update to everyone who is looking for information on sleevers who are farther out. I was sleeved on January 24th, 2011, so if I'm doing the math right, I'm about...
I drink wine on a weekly basis. My only word of cautn would be that as you lose weight, just remember to take into consideration your actual weight in relation to the amount of alcohol you consume. ...
Oh my! Amy! I am so sorry anyone told you that! The way I understand it, our stomach is fully functioning in the same way it was before surgery...since we have had no re-routing of our intestines,...
When someone reaches out for help, the last thing they need is a slap in the face. Hollie, I feel your pain. Some snack (a.k.a. "slider") foods do go down far too easily once you've hit the...
I am currently experiencing a hunger drive lately...I honestly think it has a lot to do with being cooped up inside during winter weather. I agree with what one earlier poster says about pumping up...
I must admit, I have yet to develop a consistent exercise routine. In the summer I was very active on my bike and would regularly ride 10-30 miles. I injured my knee and that put me out at the end of...
I regularly go 5-10 days with nothing. Your body simply doesn't have enough bulk to expel. It was very hard for me to get used to as well, as I used to have 2-3 per day. Probably the sheer...
Well, the one thing I do to keep myself in check is I periodically measure my food just to make sure I'm still eating 1/2 cup of food at meals. Surprisingly, my stomach still stops me at about that...

I have officially met my goal of losing 130 pounds. I was sleeved with Dr. Alvarez...
Your body truly does not know what to do with so few calories. Try upping it a bit (then it at least thinks "hey I'm not starving anymore") and see what happens. Just remember that when you get...
Thank you so much for your story. In the beginning, you sound so much like me. Once I had made the decision, it was all over. Nobody was changing my mind. And I, too, am so thankful to have taken...

I didn't hit any stalls until I started cycling more...burning tons of calories. I think my body freaked out because I wasn't eating enough. For the longest time, the scale wouldn't budge unless I...
Almost 11 months, and 126 pounds down. Very quick in the beginning, and slows down considerably as time goes on. But the surgery is hugely successful for me, I'm 5' 6" and only 3.8 pounds from...
