I’d love to know the answer to this too! I know our sleep duration needs vary but I feel like crap unless I’m regularly getting 7-7 1/2, and like you I’m usually getting an hour less and I’m exhausted.

Hi everyone, I had my sleeve June 2010 and everything you're all going through sounds exactly like me four years ago. :) I think the thing I most hated in recovery from the surgery was swallowing crushed up pills! So, so gross. I was also amazed(still am) at how little food would keep me full. I currently aim for around…

Looks like you're getting loads of new friends! :) Add me to the bunch if you like: apparently I'm 40, but I'm pretty sure that's some kind of mistake and I'm really 32...

A tight sleeve is good! It will loosen a bit over time. I think my sleeve kept me under (or near) 6-700 calories most of my first year, -even a bit beyond that.

Hi - I'm 2 1/2 years out and am starting to regain a little, which is why I am here. :) The things I have found worked the best so far are: 1) Go back to basics. 3 meals, no snacks, protein first, don't drink 30 mins pre and post meals. Even go back to your pre-surgery liquid diet for a couple of weeks (if you did one). If…

Hi, I am 2 1/2 years out of surgery and I, too, still mostly eat protein and aim for 70+ grams a day. Today I have eaten: - a protein shake for breakfast (with instant coffee powder in it - I can't usually fit in the shake as well as a cup of coffee, so I combine them to get the caffeine!) - a small can of tuna with diced…

I had my sleeve 2 1/2 years ago - awesome, best decision ever. Obviously, since I'm on a fitness/calorie counting website, my diet still needs to be monitored, but it's much, much easier to keep under control. I have lost all my excess weight and have a normal BMI, but it's at the high end and I just want to lose another…

Hi - I realise this is quite an old post and you might be fine now, but I thought I'd share my experience, in case it's helpful to you. I had my surgery June 2010. I stopped losing around a year-ish afterwards (75 pounds lost and got to BMI of 24) and I have now started to regain, which is horrifying to me! It's only about…

[/quote] Here's the litmus test for me: Does raw vegetables sound good? If so, then yeah, you are probably really hungry and should get some of said vegetables. However, if they don't sound like they will "hit the spot" then you aren't really (physically) hungry, but instead are experiencing some other emotion. [/quote]…

I love, love, love Phentermine. I took it for about a year and lost over 50 pounds. The sleeplessness is managable as long as you just take them in the morning. Before Phentermine, I wanted to eat ALL the time - the pills just removed my obsession with eating. I would eat when I was hungry and only eat enough so I was…
