SW 298 CW 246 GW 150 I have done it before and got so focused on how to cheat on my meals without really being too bad I have gained a lot of the weight I originally lost. back on the wagon for my health.

Paulbond007. I had Gastric Sleeve October of 2013. It took me a year to lose 100 lbs and I hit a plateau with the holidays and even gained 3 lbs, but I have been back on myfitness and joined the gym. I think your body gets used to anything so try something different maybe that will help. I am going to start swimming at the…

I am 45 and down 103 lbs total and loving life. Would love to join the group. I am now on a Ketogenic diet learning as I go. It ir really great so far and pretty easy to stick with but I am still trying to make sure I am balancing all of my fats, proteins and carbs at the right level and I think I actually could be eating…

Chips of any kind. I can shovel them in so I just keep them out of the house. If we do have them in the house on the weekend I make my hubby take them to work and share them with his co-workers.

Hello, I will be 45 next month not exited about it but sure prefer alive at 45 compared to the alternative. :) I have used MyFitnesspal a couple times in the past but seemed like I would lose and then sabotage myself and gain the loss/pluss back. I finally had the gastric sleeve on 10/02/2014 and it has helped me…

Hello, I am 4 months out and I can tell you stalls happen but they are generally short lived and I think maybe they are so scary because if you are anything like me, in my past attempts at weight loss I would hit a stall and give up and the weight would pile back on. If you are sticking to the plan provided by your…

I had my surgery 10/02/2013 also and I have been experiencing hair loss for about a month now and it is scary but thankfully I have thick hair and a lot of it. I also take Biotin every day and Zinc twice a week but I dont' know if it helps or not. I do have new hair growth according to my beautician so I do think it is a…

Congratulations on your journey to becoming a happy healthy you. I was sleeved on 10/02/2013 and had a lot of the same problems you mentioned. I am down 67 lbs and still have about 90ish lbs to go but I am so much happier and healthier already, no meds except thyroid now and I am excercising daily and feeling better about…

I was sleeved 10/02/2013, it was the best decision for me and I have no regrets at all. The first few weeks are kind of hard figuring out what you can have but think about it this way your stomache is like a babies stomache again you get to start over. So go through your liquid and soft stages just like a baby and then…

Love the term Hiccaburp and know exactly what you mean. I got sick twice and both times on eggs so they are not my friend now... It seems that once I experienced that uncomfortable/painful feeling a couple times, that is all it took to teach me. Now I eat a couple bites, chew them to death and then wait for a while before…

Best wishes to you this week, I was sleeved on 10/02/2013 and I can say this is the first Thanksgiving ever that I LOST weight. More importantly though I feel great, I have lost 50 lbs, I excercise during my breaks at work (I have a sit down job) and I do WII Fit with the kids and my hubby at night and other excercises off…

Congrats to you, I was sleeved on 10/02/2013 so I am almost as new as you. I have found that nothing really tastes that great after surgery for a few weeks it seems food in general just tastes different. That is what I experienced so I just drank my shakes, didn't enjoy much of the soft food faze or the liquid faze but I…

They have a couple varities of PB2 at our Walmart right next to the other Peanut butters. Good luck

I love that "Crawl til you're strong enough to walk. Walk til you're strong enough to run. Then run and don't stop." :) fall down 7 times, stand up 8.". I think I am going to put that on my wall if you don't mind.

I have been working with free weights for my arms (to fight the flab) and walking since the day I was released from the hospital. I am 7 weeks out today and have been doing leg lifts, the stairs at work, the recumbant bike and Wii fit for at least 2 weeks. I exercise everyday but I do different things every day so I don't…

I love this topic. I was sleeved on 10/02/2013 and before I was sleeved I was at my highest weight. I have asthma and hypothyroidism, and was starting to have problems with my sugar and blood pressure. After thinking about doing this for 6 years researching and hem hawing around I decided to go for it. I couldn't be…

I was sleeved on 10/02/2013 and I don't know if this will help you, but I make a mocha frappe' in the morning and I love them. I use: 1 scoop of chocolate whey protein powder (wal-mart) 8 oz of skim milk 2 tsp hersheys unsweetened chocolate powder 1 cup ice cubes 1 tsp vanilla extract 1 cup of decaf coffee Mix your…
