Update from revision surgery 6/23

[titan05 174]

Very encouraged as I have lost 33 pounds to date and already weigh less than I ever did with the band.

Do not like anything with sugar except G2 Gatorade. Took a drink of Coke and it was no good, my favorite ice cream and don't have any interest in.

Meanwhile I am sleeping better - not sweating as much and feel good. A new wardrobe is headed my way soon.

264.8 on June 25th and 231.6 on August 9th.

Congratulations - that's great! I can't stand the taste of ice cream any longer either and can totally ignore sweets now.

Keep up the good work!

I've had my band slip two times so I've decided for a sleeve. I had my surgery just 4 days ago. I'm curious as how it's possible that you no longer like ice cream and sweets. I really like my ice cream. I have no intention of eating lots of ice cream, but I wonder if this change is going to happen to me as well?

Also, I wouldn't like to tell all the people at the dinner table why I eat so little. What did you recommend that I should say? I'm thinking of business lunches or dinner with a big group of friends. I don't necessarily want everyone to know that I'm eating little because of a sleeve surgery.

Thanks for the feedback.

I miss that ice cream, too, but can't afford the calories. My NUT still wants me to have two servings of dairy every day, so what I do is drink a glass of milk with vanilla and sweetener in it. Bedtime is when I could eat a pint of ice cream by myself, so I drink the vanilla milk as my bedtime snack.< /p>

Also, as soon as I lost that first thirty pounds, I began to sleep much better.

Honestly? I find people don't much notice if you don't eat much. Eat what you can and push the rest around on your plate. Or, say you had a later Breakfast b

Thanks for the feedback.

I would tell people you're watching your calories and exercising more to stay/get healthy. Then change the subject to the weather!

Another idea, eat at a tapas bar.

Down from 264.8 to 223- weight loss is slowing to about 7 or 8 pounds a month. People definitely notice how much I do not eat. I usually say I just ate something before the meal. Went to a rodeo and had BBQ Saturday and could literally eat only about 4-5 bites and was full.
