I'm a Texan too.Had my surgery in Houston. Welcome to the forum. Good luck on your journey!
It's head hunger...not real...follow your diet plan to the T.....rest as much as you can so you can heal. You are going to love the pounds dropping off! Best of luck to both of you!
Welcome Janay78, you are in good company here. Don't be rough on your family and friends. Most folks are scared that you are doing something harmful to your body. You are not! You are altering your...
You are truly an inspiration to all of us Ann. Enjoy reading your posts very much. Hugs to you hon.
Dasdat, you reached that moment like so many of us have but we kept quiet. You at least had the courage to yell HELP! I applaud you for that. I was sleeved in 2011 and I've put about half of the...
I'm in the same boat with you sister. I gained too and now I'm having to go back to basics. We can do it together. I stopped putting time limits on myself, only goals. This is a lifetime journey. But...
P.bovis....I'm in the same boat as you are. Had my surgery in 2011 and I have gained 37 of the 80 pounds that I had lost, right back. I got sloppy with my food. Did not measure it and ate too fast. I...
Being able to gulp anything when I'm thirsty :-( was always in a hurry to drink and to eat too. Had to learn to slow life down a bit.
Yes, what Virginia said. I have the same regrets after four years. :-(
So very sorry for your loss. Prayers lifted for you and your sons.
I'm going on four years since my surgery...haven't had an Asthma problem since. However if I don't get off these pounds I've put on I fear my problem will return.
I see that you have recently been sleeved, I hope that it's nothing any of us has done. I don't look every day and I early comment anymore. Just would hate to lose you.
The fact that you are listening and trusting God is going to bring you great success with your surgery. This is a wonderful forum to answer all your questions and to find some great support. Most...
May I ask if you sweeten anything you eat with Splenda? I was told it was not a natural sweetener and full of Chemicals. I started using real sugar again for my coffee, cottage cheese, and such but I...
We can do this together, it helps to have people who understand and do not condemn....food addictions are real and it's not like you can just walk away from food. I was angry at myself and cleaned...
Please be very careful with your new tummy. Maybe you could eat scrambled eggs to get your protein in. I know I felt like I was eating a meal getting to eat the eggs. I can tell you this...I didn't...
I have a friend that lives up there...beautiful...but too cold for me :-)....even if you don't find anyone on here from Alberta, you can still talk to us :-) welcome!
Aw, thank you Melissa...it's been one huge struggle. I've gained back half of what I lost...I can see it....I can feel it! But I noticed this morning my husband was weighing himself...hmmm....if he...
I love talking to you too Mary! It's getting cold down here along the Gulf coast..that article blast Joe is talking about made it's way down south! Yikes!!!
I'm curious too. I don't know if my insurance would pay for it, but I'm thinking I should have had the by pass instead of the sleeve. My sister n law had the by pass and she lost down to goal AND has...
I regained and I have no excuses. I was lazy and did not exercise. I should have kept up with the weighing and measuring my food...I didn't...I've regained several pounds. I never reached my goal of...
Welcome jaejo...I'm a Southeast Texas gal myself. Best if luck on your journey. You found a great board to share it with.
Hi Stephanie! I live in Nederland! So far you are the closest neighbor. I've heard a lot of good about Dr. Schrapps. I went to Houston because I didn't know who to use down here. I would like to go...
I'm confused...you said Barb that you are only four years out on your surgery....your surgery date is. August of 2008.....now I'm not good in math per say, but that is six years not four....are you...
