Buying smaller sizes is such an amazing feeling. I wore a lot of dresses with no waist band for several weeks while my incision healed. The cut where they took my stomach portion out was right where a waistband rubbed.

Come back often. I'm 10 months post surgery VSG and have had a hard time finding sleeve support for the same reason you stated. I'm down 111 pounds, 4 pounds from goal and want to make sure I maintain this for a lifetime!

Congratulations for having a date! That's exciting! I woukd just concentrate on the pre diet your Dr has you do and stock with those portions. Believe me, after surgery you will complete understand the 2 Tbsp. It may seem far fetched now, but the surgery changes that in tge beginning. Concentrate on right now. We were all…

I sent you a friend request.😉

Welcome to the group Tami_in_idaho. I'm Shauna in Utah! Be sure to check back often and add to our discussions!

That's a great price. When I saw all it does I was thinking that will cost 100 dollars. What is your brand?

Oh yes, please keep adding, as I believe we all have such similar fears and need to overcome them. This journey is so much more than just losing weight, eating less, eating better etc. I would be so interested to continue these discussions.

This may be a scale victory, sort of. Today marked the day I am no longer in the overweight BMI category. I am now in healthy weight category! So amazing!

I haven't had a good experience with the app. It never stops counting the time of my challe ge thing. I'm pretty savvy on apps, but this one isn't very intuitive. What features are you using and how?

So happy to have you along!

Wow! Welcome from literally halfway across the globe! Shauna

You're very lucky. It's not fun to to experience it! Believe me!

I'm quite happy with my sleeve results as well. Still some foods I can't tolerate, however.

Oooh, yes that does sound terrible! I certainly never want to feel like I did again! When was your sleeve?

Best of luck! I'd love to know what your therapist says! What about a low fat no sugar alternative?

Way to go! 👏👏👏🤛🙌🙌 It really isn't all about what the scale says (although that's great too) these NSVs are so wonderful! Just wait until that top is too big!

Welcome to the group @jessi91473. We'd love you to join on on our discussions! Come back often! Hope healing is gojng well. Purees will be over soon!

I think I just experienced last night for the first time. Horrible pain in stomach, nauseous, very dizzy, hot and then cold, wanted to throw up. What symptoms do you all experience? I never want to experience that again!

Is ice cream your nemesis? As is peanut butter for me.

You're working the program! When we get moving, it's builds muscle which weighs more. Have you recorded your inches, I'll bet you're losing inches and not weight. When I stall, it's usually because I'm eating improper balance of foods, too much fat for example. I go back to basics to get me kick started. I still have a…

I get you on those food issues! I struggle to not constantly nibble while I'm cooking, or grab several snacks on my way to bed. And heavens! Eating way too much peanut butter! Lord, help me!

I had such a hard time changing behaviors prior to surgery. It's hard after, but different. I would concentrate on following your Dr's and nutritionist's suggestions and work really hard on being strict on your liver reduction ores surgery diet. You'll still be hungry, but remind yourself, it's worth it, and it won't last!…

I adore northern California. The redwoods are my re-centering place!

We lived in New Jersey for a couple of years! I love the city!

I've done this method with chicken. Im going to try it with pork chops! Thank you!

Ooooh, how to you cook your mushroom pork chops?

I haven't tried blending a banana. I am going to try that! Do you put protein powder in as well?

I'm in Utah USA.
