Hi! I had the sleeve done last February. You are definitely not too old! As for multiple heart conditions, I'm sure the doctor will be sure to take special note while you are under anesthesia, however, I can only imagine your heart health will improve 10x with the mass weight loss. Weight takes a huge toll on our organs.…

As someone who got the gastric sleeve a little over a year ago, I can say it was the best decision I ever made. Wish I didn't wait until I was 23- wish I had it done at like 14! And it was not easy. I've been dieting since I was around 8 years old. Been through multiple eating disorders. The surgery truly saved me.

I definitely agree and understand the overweight and misconception of physical hunger pain and cues. I've never been one of those overweight people who eat every few hours- the majority of my life (I was an obese child, too) I've fasted through meals (or days on end), been too broke to afford food, or just eaten one meal…

Just this week I switched it up. I generally start the day with that attitude, I think- where I'm like, "It's enough food", but once I get to dinner I'm like "oh *kitten* this is not enough" lmao. Unfortunately, and this is just my dumb stubbornness, I can't up my calories anymore. I already feel horrible upping them from…

You are most certainly correct in saying there's an element of anxiety involved. In terms of fasting, I'm a very experienced (imho) faster. Back in the day I could water/diet soda fast for up to a week. Doing 16:8 just never made any sense to me because it still allowed 8 hours of calorie intake and that's basically the…

Thank you honey. I've gone through the whole thread multiple times. It's pretty easy for me to eat full bags of veggies and fruit and what not, and I get the "stuffed" feeling from the veggies but it still feels somewhat empty and leaves me wanting more food soon after?

I would say that a large portion of my diet is fats. I've definitely experimented like you've mentioned. When I eat the full-fat, calorie-dense foods then I can wait. For example, every Monday night me and my bf get fast food around 6pm. It leaves me full and satisfied the remainder of the night. I've made low-calorie…

Hey! I don’t have 200 exactly to lose, but at least 160 to lose. Would love to be friends!

Thank you all for the help 🙂 I didn’t realize that it was only 1000 over my TDEE. It was nice to get the support. Thank you!!

Hey! On the same boat. Initially lost over 100 lbs but gained it all back plus more. Just hit 300 last week and decided it was finally time to get back in shape. Would love to have a group/more friends!

Regular faster here. Longest fast was 10 days, lost 14lbs. After the 3rd day, there is generally a bliss and uproar of energy. It’s great, and by this time, the cravings and hunger pains are gone. Keep in mind, it’s complete fasting- none of that 16:8 stuff, nothing but liquids/water each day.
