From Central Michigan Sleeved 9/15 HW 313 SW 272 CW 211 GW 180

Congratulations ! Take care of yourself.

I am 6 months out from sleeve. I still have difficulty stopping when I should. I know I've had enough, but with only 2 bites left I hate throwing out food I have paid for . Saving for later is an option too , just a bother. Buying small bowls and plates helps me control portion sizes. I use my food scale occasionally .

It took me several months to get use to my bipap machine, and another several months to feel better. A lot of mind over matter to make myself wear it. Now 6 months after starting I can honestly say I am feeling more rested when I wake up.

Wow you guys are doing great. I'll be 4 months out from sleeve surgery in a couple of days. I'm down 30 lbs since surgery.

Happy Sunday everyone I sure could use some prayers for my sister-in-law. Breast Cancer can hit any one of us. Surgery tomorrow and beginning the road to recovery. JFT Be greatful for my health and family.
