BKYLNgal87 lookin' good kiddo wonderful weight loss, you are on your way to goal but.............everyone needs to realize (like you do )............. that once you hit maintenance - the "fun" is just beginning good luck kathy congrats

Hunter1 Phew............. glad you made it back we missed you kathy

hey Tex good thought, thinking ahead about what you are gonna do about dating finding someone who is "fit", is ok - healthy eating is important to them - so you probably wouldn't be around that much junk food Finding another sleever is a great idea there are support groups you can find (doc/NUT) can help you you could possibly meet some nice lady there having things (like the sleeve) is great to have in common can help/support each other - talk about what to eat how much you both love the Protein shakes meeting another guy could also be beneficial - talk about certain common issues that YOU men have!!! there are many husbands/wives - or sisters/sisters et al - that get sleeved at the same time, and have that great support so, yes, IMO finding another "partner" in crime is great good thoughts on surgery next month good luck kathy

how I can be a healthy supporter through this difficult time MRodgers (its a beautiful day in the neighborhood ) you are aces for being so supportive for your honey we see/read many posts from new sleevers that have no support people - so repeating you are great, she is lucky to have you then again you are lucky too i did enjoy my DH kindof of being around me and helping me he would bring me hot broth and popsicles kindof "enforce" the fact i needed to keep drinking must not get dehydrated for me, i appreciated the "little pushes" - it works for me take her lead, and run with it since you are obviously so caring - i'm sure you'll figure it out good luck kathy

Mike as others have said............. they/me never had memory issues if that concern is the only thing holding you back from the WLS............... i wouldn't worry go ahead and "take your life to the next level" have the surgery get ready for the ride of your life you'll be on your way to a healthier, happier, longer life hope to see you on the "losers" bench (you'll be a winner though ) good luck kathy

Protein Popsicles?. kindle OMG how smart are you??? what a great idea but............what are "mio" drops this is a great idea for newbies et al even this old fart might try it keep those good suggestions coming kathy

M2G thanx for mentioning it sounds good i'm gonna try and find it seriously, whats with everything being Greek??? I love my light and fit greek yogurt i am finally enjoying "fage" greek yogurt - I put a little granola and fresh blueberries in - yum yum there is greek yogurt, greak Cereal, Protein bars, plenty more stuff i'm sure just curious its "all Greek to me" you know i had to say that - the devil made me do it kathy

hips maybe, kindof, NO!!!! I have successfully been at goal this past year but.............you/me/all must continue to watch everything you put in your mouth just like you are doing now there are many discussions on the board concerning how easy it is to gain weight!!! i "think" some people think once they reach goal, things will be fine and they can kindof "loosen" up a bit welll...........you can eat a "little" more - your tummy probably will allow you to - but you still must be careful this is a forever new lifestyle you took on don't worry about wilting away to nothing (even though i have seen a few people lose too much weight) you will just maybe eat a few more calories et al if you find you are continueing to lose weight great weight loss hips, (you too ruby ) I see goal in the very near future WooHoo both of you keep up the great job good luck kathy congrats

mistysj OH NO!!!! to me on the board, it looks fine, but when you transferred it, it does look like a mess its all Greek to me kathy

What Do You Guys Eat For Fiber Cereal Fiddle unfortunately cereal is one of my "must abstain" foods I used to lllllove having cereal, one bowl, two et al, couldn't/wouldn't stop!!!! 1/2 a bowl is too little - so i chose not to tempt myself oh well kathy

Hello everyone this is my first time on I am motivated. determaingirl84 if you haven'/t officially been welcomed, let me be the first Welcome, Welcome and Welcome wishing you luck in getting your approval - thus having WLS as soon as possible continue to enjoy the boards kathy

Jane Ahhhhh that is what i like to hear, short, sweet posts - right to the point i know you are happy, and you are right - its about time to feel that way you are beaming ear to ear, and rightfuly so the world needs more smiling faces - and yours is lovely!!!! keep smilin' good luck kathy congrats

Suzy the waiting game is a bitc h nothing you can do about it now but.............if you don't hear from them in the time allotted give them a hollar!!!! good luck kathy God Grant Me Patience, Just Hurry Up About It!!!

donamay Argh!!! back at ya "regular" version??? you mean with sugar??? if thats the case............ oh well, next time read the label better you are ok!!!! little bummed??? get over it!!!!! one week PO?? -terrific good luck kathy congrats

ddw12 reno is right Water is much more important than protein at this time you must stay hydrated!!! many people successfully drink room temperature water - goes down easier sorry you are having issues with dry heaves not that this helps much............... but you only had the sleeve 3 days ago your tummy is still adjusting - its mad at you for allowing a doc to "cut you up" give tummy more time to heal after a few days, "maybe" give doc a call if that will make you feel better but...........these issues "usually" take care of themselves and get resolved each day should get better and better God Grant Me Patience, Just Hurry Up About It!!!! kathy good luck speedy recovery

Scout1234 pinch yourself stop that, you are gonna turn black and blue!! wonderful accomplishment with your weight loss!!!! its obvious you have worked hard keeping track of your food is very important - helps alot i don't use it, but i know the fitbit is wonderful too you are lovin exercise - woohoo nice helpful "words of wisdom" for newbies et al to live by now - hard work continues with maintenance!!! i know you will do great for the rest of your healthier, happier, longer life kathy congrats

brweyedwoman please don't be swayed by the docs opinion he probably is more familiar with bypass he has the right to his opinion of course, but he did say either way is fine glad you have been stable with your kidney problems for the past 18 years you've done your homework, and you wisely decided on the sleeve don't second guess yourself now!! December 17th will be here before you know it!!! good luck speedy recovery kathy

Dec 30Th Sleeve! Mbindra first off............ Welcome, Welcome always room for another smiling face wow, you are ending and starting the new year with a bang!!!! its said on this board, "the one thing we have in common, is that we're all different " in other words, some people heal, recover very quickly - up and running (back to work) in a few days, a week others (you "maybe") might need a longer time to recover you need to have Protein shakes waiting for you at home, broth, popsicles most importantly.............. a faucet that works and will supply lots and lots of Water good luck next month speedy recovery kathy

jennig sorry i missed this yesterday how did it go??? I see you made it to goal and then some!!! you've done great!!! not sure about questions you could have asked doc I'm sure you did fine talking to the doc i would probably have talked about maintenance any fears or concerns about following program et al welcome to "maintenance land" the fun is just beginning ................ for the rest of your healthier, happier, longer life good luck kathy congrats

amytug last 10 lbs??? my strategy??? I kept pulling my hair out!!!! last 10 lbs are usually a bitc h!!! i think theres a group specific concerning the last 30 lbs........so i'm sure there is plenty of discussion on the last 10 lbs too!!! keep doing the right stuff, your body will tell you when it "ain't" gonna let you lose any more!!! btw - i thought you were a sleeve survivor, not lapband??? good luck kathy
