Not only do I throw it in the trash, I sprinkle it with Comet so I'm not tempted to go back!:rolleyes: (an old Weight Watchers tip)

I would love if we all could meet sometime. We've all "known" each other for over 6 years!!! Hope you get to enjoy your skiing holiday and that a cortisone shot will provide you some relief. I used...

Oh Annie!
You are such a rock star and one of the people among many here that I so admire! You have rocked your sleeve since the beginning. I remember when you meticulously had all your stats...

Good Luck tomorrow. You will do just fine. Yes, space the pills out!

Nelly,
Thank you for the update. Let's hope the new meds help!

Welcome to the group Sparkle41
I actually find that going on holiday I end up losing weight. You are going to be so busy walking around and enjoying all of the rides that you WILL be able to fit in...

It is definitely life changing, but its ALL good. You will have to see a nutritionist who will discuss life after the sleeve with you. As Sharon said, you physically will not be able to eat and if...

Snacking is still my problem:rolleyes: My go to snack is always greek yogurt--sometimes I add a few peanuts and raisins, popcorn is also a go to snack. For fruit I like pineapple. Sometimes a nice...

Please let us know how he is doing. Hopefully the doctor can prescribe something that will make him feel better.

Congrats!!!!
I didn't do as well as I had hoped--but today is a new day!

Broccoli and zucchini are my go to veggies. Broccoli I usually microwave with a little ICBINB, onion powder and fresh garlic. For the zucchini, I usually sauté it in a little oil with onions and...

jerzey,
I'm really trying to make a conscious effort to drink something regularly. Kind of like in the beginning when we had to remind ourselves to eat, I keep reminding myself to DRINK!

OMG! It is so scary!!! Drink, drink, drink!

kenson, you need to drink as you're farther out from surgery but we still have to hydrate. Our new tummy's are used to having hydration and we have to keep them that way. Take care![/QUOTE]

My...

Well, after passing out at a restaurant last Saturday, I have added more water to my life. The hospital said that I was dehydrated. It was such a scare that I am now drinking water practically the...

Sounds like you're doing great! You've been giving some great advice. I would say to remain mindful and vigilant about what you are eating. Stay "aware." Do not become complacent in your journey...

Ashley,
Welcome to the forum. So sorry for what you are going through. I hope that you can find some relief.

Congratulations and continued success!

Janny!
Your pictures are AHMAZING!!! OMG! What an adventure! I'm impressed with the nature of the trip and all of the pre-planning you did for it!

Now, the real work begins. Maintenance is not for the faint of heart. This is the message that us "old timers" continue to preach whenever we can. We have to hold ourselves accountable, or find...

It's so funny, but the sleeve almost makes you (me) feel complacent. You're losing weight almost effortlessly, and then WHAM, the weight loss stops and you then have to put in "the work." We forget...

Hello All,
Just returned from Portugal on Monday--the jetlag is real! Had a great time and came home down one pound! I'll take it. I've inserted a few pictures. Took a tram ride, which took us all...

I can see your weight loss! You're looking gorgeous. Those last few pounds are stubborn little suckers!

ellie and Sharon,
All I can say is WOW!

Whatever your doctor says for you to do, you should do it. You will find that every one's sleeve doctor is different and has told us all different things. Your doctor told you what he/she felt was...
