I was sleeved 2/18/15. HW 266 LW 202 CW 216. Definitely add me. I need help as well to get this weight off.

I just found thread talking about it.

Rob, your words are really resonating with me. I am coming out of a darker place in my journey. Feeling like I'm failing and just not being where I "should" be. Thank you for sharing. Points 6 and 7 really hit home. Thank you.

My program has a monthly support group. Each month there is a different topic. Last month, it was about high protein snacks and we tasted all of them. This month, it's about getting through plateaus. I absolutely love them! I go every month when I can.

Hi Natalie! There is a lot of support and wisdom here. I do not regret my decision for a moment. When I was going through pre-op, I was never convinced that I would go through with it but I'm glad I did.

Woot woot! I'm doing the happy dance with ya!

Sleeved 2/18/15

Goals for June: 1) Drink 64 oz of water each day 2) Try a new activity each week. 3) Stay under 1,000 calories. (Nervous about this one)

That's amazing!

Congrats on your approval. I agree with eating lean protein and veggies. My diet was to eat under 100 carbs a day. I think that's more liberal than most.

I have been giving my clothes away to Goodwill and my mother's church. I am now wearing my daughter's clothes and my neighbor gave me some clothes that she couldn't fit anymore. I have only been to the thrift store once. My weight loss is slower than most though.

Welcome back!

Welcome Jen! I was sleeved 2/18/15 and it was the best decision ever. I suffered from diabetes and was on insulin and oral medication. Now I am no longer on insulin and I am technically on 1 pill a day but my sugar is great without it. You will have great support here.

Awesome! I'm so glad you are doing well!

Joysie that's wonderful!!!

Your progress is absolutely amazing! Thanks for sharing it. It's inspiring!

I was sleeved on 2/18/15. You will find a lot of support here. Just sent you a friend request.

I'm almost 3 months post op. I sent you a request as well.

Welcome Jess! This is a great community and you will find a lot of support.

That's exactly it!! Just saying that I had wls minimizes all of the hard work I am doing! I will lead with my healthy lifestyle and then say I had surgery. To leave something out really does not give the full picture. I am actually uncomfortable with people complimenting me on my weight loss. I really wasn't expecting that.

Yay!! You are almost there! So exciting!

I HATE going out to eat now. I'm finished so much sooner than everyone else and like you, I wish I could still eat. People have been inviting me out to eat and I keep saying no. It's no fun for me. I kinda hope it stays this way though.

My bariatric nurse wants me to eat every 3 hours. I am to have 3 meals and 2 snacks, 3 if necessary. I think I would binge if I didn't incorporate snacks.

That makes sense. I made chicken soup and added extra protein powder and noticed that I felt uncomfortable when I ate it. Thanks!

Amazing. Thanks for sharing

I use Optisource and they have never given me a problem. I'm 2-1/2 months post op

So awesome! Great job!

I was sleeved on 2/18 and I stalled for a month! I know it's a part of the process but it's difficult to go through.

I'm wishing you well on your surgery tomorrow. You'll do great!

Nice!! Thanks!
