I hate to freak anyone out, but I will stand up as a (bad) example. I had the sleeve 2/19/14 and only lost 60#, which was a huge disappointment to me, but I felt great. Then changed jobs and reverted right back to all old "stress eating" habits. Quit recording. Quit logging in here. And gained back 55 of the 60 I lost. So…

I made low fat cream of asparagus, pea and bean soups...used ff chicken broth. I pureed them for the puree stage and then strained that through a fine mesh collander for the full liquid phase...just to get a different taste/flavor. I made a pot of each, then divieded them into 2 oz portions and stuck them in the freezer.…

Could not agree with you more. Nicely stated.:)

My family was not at all receptive to my decision for surgery as well. I just stated that had I been successful at past weight loss efforts the conversation would not be taking place. And it was time to do something that had a proven track record, and almost immediate health benefits ( was off oral diabetes meds and bp…

Hi, I had my sleeve 2/19/13. I was amazed. I went into the operative suite at 9:00, or so they tell me. Versed in my IV just prior is a wonderful thing!.

I too rely on not only support but sometimes the swift kick in the pants. I know that everyone is trying to be supportive and helpful. There is a difference in being the voice of caution and being a "Debbie Downer". We all need the wisdom of those who are farther along on the journey and have insights to share. No one…

Good luck with the surgery, you will not regret this choice. Be glad to offer encouragement, advice or whatever you think you need. I am 14 months out and LOVE my sleeve! Just wish I had done it years earlier!

I'd love to be your buddy. Had my surgery in February 2013 and my only regret is I didn't do it sooner. My all time high was 268, February 2012, Was 235 day of surgery and now am 185. I am very fortunate that my weight loss program includes nutrition classes, and a support group that meets weekly. It has been wonderful.…

Just joined the group, so hello all! I am pre-op, meet with the surgeon on the 20th, where I hope he tells me I am a candidate (fingers, toes, and eyes crossed). I have been in a medically supervised weight loss program for 8 months as is required by my insurance. And I have not done great on that program, just 27 pounds…
