I'm working on getting back on track today... I am happy I got to attend so many parties lately, and really got to show off my new look to people I hadn't seen in a while... that was fun, but I did a lot more snacking than usual for sure. I also could see emotional eating kicking in, from seeing my family. The parents are getting up there in years, and I can see they are needing more and more support... I have been swinging between 1-3 pounds over my low weight this last week... not really that bad, but I see how I can really just eat a bunch of sugar and refined stuff and then crave more pretty quickly. This is how it was before surgery, and it is still there, mediated by my inability to eat as much at a sitting... THANK HEAVENS! I really have to take care of myself and keep my eye on the prize... better health. My husband has gained a bunch of weight this last year... around 30 pounds... and he is planing on getting into changing his lifestyle for the better, this might make it easier for me too. Well hang in there ladies and gents! And after New Years is should be a little easier to do the right thing.

Promised land! Love it!

After a year of eating everything that I did not... my hubby had decided to take his health a little more seriously. Im sure he will lose it ALL in about 3 months. He was feeling poorly a couple of years ago... lost his appetite (only ate 6 pieces of bread a day instead of 10) and lost 35 pounds in a month. I'm so glad I have lost most of my excess weight before he started this new lease on life.

Me too! The ladies love some romance!

Good for you!

Good job!

I don't want to join the 20 somethings, so did not push the join button, what happens when you push the follow button? Perhaps send a PM to Alex?

Congratulation on your decision! Im sure you will be happy with it. As long as you did your homework on your surgeon, Im sure that will be fine too. Keep coming back here, as you can see, there is lots of support and some very good advice too.

At 11 months I still have some hairloss, but its growing in too... find lots of threads about hairloss in search... here is one... http://www.verticalsleevetalk.com/topic/27368-newbie-hairloss-question/

I say work'em, you (and they) look great!

That should shut some neigh sayers mouths right up!

That sounds horrible! I think the PPI sounds like a good place to start... I'm glad you are going to your Dr, but if he can't find anything, perhaps seek a second opinion? As you know, you have to keep getting your water in... even if it means an IV now and then... dehydration can cause nauseusness....

Let me be frank.... you still have your butt!! I lost mine and really miss it. So jealous ... you look great! 11 kids!!??? How do you do it? I have none and can barely keep my life together....

Fantastic!

I have had a lot of sugar the last week. My weight has popped up a couple of pounds. In reality I was only 1 1/2 pounds over my lowest weight this morning... not 10 pounds like most other years. I can see how easy it has been to snack on all the goodies without any problem... if I kept it up I think i could really see the scales keep moving up up up... Thanks goodness for the sleeve... I left most of my food on the plate and want to be away from the sweets and back to protein and salad soon... get all the junk out. I am going to a party given my my binge party friends tomorrow... I am bringing a bunch of protein finger food... and veggie yummies. I hope this will keep my junk food eating to a minnimum. Plan ahead....write it all down afterward!

I love my sleeve, and I bet you will too. Your date will be here before you know it! ....some studies show that lower BMI patients have better success with the sleeve then higher....

There are lots of band to sleeve folks on here. Your post name did not say you wanted this, or I think more people would have responded. Try Lil'missdiva, She is a revision, and could refer you to others also.

My Doc said yes. You can add unflavored protein powder if you have some. (just don't add it to very hot food or it will curdle)

The only ones who can truely answer your question are you and your Dr. If you are 80 pounds over with co/morbidities you might qualify... but other health issues might preclude you. Ask your Doc. Good luck with that, and check back in with us for support if you go on that journey.

Happy Holidays all. And a great slim new year!

I just read a thread on here (in the last week) that talked about several cases... I'll see if I can find it again. This is the post I based my comment on. You can contact the posters for more info. http://www.verticalsleevetalk.com/topic/21296-some-people-are-just-unbelievable/page__fromsearch__1

torani sugar free strawberry syrup.

Best of luck to you dear! All those complications are a high price for a size 2! Hope your labs turn out ok and there is a simple answer to your new problems.

I was thinking, if you can't do this for yourself at this time, I would ask a friend or relative over to clean out what you should not eat, help you set up what you can eat in measured serving sizes, and really, they should stay with you for a while until you can get some professional help. People DO die from overeating with the sleeve.
