I never thought I'd have this problem, but I can't seem to stop losing weight. It's freaking me out. Can anyone point me to threads for advice on slowing my loss? I tried the search function, but I'm not having much luck. Thank you.

Haven't really been losing weight since I'm in maintenance, but I decided to measure myself on a whim and I've lost 1.25 inches in my waist! Hooray shrinking skin!

My Coachella pass is here! I danced around so much, my pants fell down! Healthy-chella 2012!!

The sleeve already changed my body, and I'm working toward the day when I can say that it changed my life! <3

It worked! I made yogurt! Letting it cool in the fridge overnight, then I'll strain it tomorrow to get it nice and thick and I'll make some strawberry or blueberry jam to mix in. So excited!

We eat greek yogurt by the TRUCKLOAD in my house, so I'm trying my hand at making it. It's cooling on the stove, so I can stir in the cultures and get it incubating.

I was out with my friends last night for a birthday celebration, and I was teasing one of the guys and blocking him from going out of a door. He just picked me up and moved me out of the way! I was so stunned! LOL Guess I'm still getting used to being smaller. Haha

Goodnight, sleevers and sleevers-to-be!

The husband and I decided to treat ourselves to dinner out tonight. We split a kid's meal at Fuddrucker's (chicken nuggets, BBQ beans, kid's drink, and a cookie). Between us, we ate 3 nuggets and half the beans. I had 2 sips of unsweetened tea before the food came, and we haven't touched the cookie. Sleeved couples eat cheap! LOL

It looks like my tumor is benign (hooray no esophageal cancer!), but I have to have another endoscopy to have as much of it removed as possible for another biopsy just to be sure. I also have to have a colonoscopy because there is a chance that I have colon cancer or that I have pre-cancerous polyps in my intestines. I need a stiff drink and a refill on my Xanax. Also, I really need a hug. Can't wait for my husband to get home from work.

Every stinking time I eat even a tiny bit of rice, my scale shows it the next day. Grr.

My cat loves to play fetch. He brings me the ball when he's ready for a game. It cracks me up.

Can't sit around worrying about what my doctor might tell me on Wednesday. Tonight, I am fine so tonight I'm going to live! Getting all dressed up and going to dance my butt off with my friends!

Endoscopy and upper GI have been completed. I have a small hiatal hernia and a small gastric cardia tumor. They biopsied the tumor and are testing me for H. Pylori. I'm scared to death that the tumor will be malignant. I suspect that the hernia is what has been causing my continued gurgling. My followup is on Wednesday, and at that point I'll get the test results and find out more about what can be done about the gurgling. I've been stress eating turkey and greek yogurt.

Going in for an endoscopy tomorrow morning to find out why I'm still gurgling so much. I'm tired of sounding like a weirdo every time I eat. LOL

What is it about TOM that makes you want to eat all kinds of sweets?!

We're home!! Jason's surgery went well, AND after 4.5 days of room service crap to eat I didn't gain a single pound. In fact, I lost a tiny bit of weight. It was great to be able to talk to new sleeve patients about my journey, and people seemed encouraged by my progress. I'm really happy to get back to my exercise routine too. This week has been the laziest ever.

I'm so tired of Mexico. I'm sick of eating out. I want my kitchen, my greek yogurt, and my grocery store.

My husband went in for his surgery 15 minutes ago. Even though I've been through this, I'm so so nervous for him.

It doesn't help you stick to your promise to stop eating out when your brother surprises you by bringing you lunch. :/

Today I did a yoga video and a kickboxing video. I didn't get all the way through either of them, but I still did it! 3 days of exercise in a row!

Where is my restriction today? I feel like I could eat everything in the world. And I'm doing my best to prove it.

GOAL!!! Officially 150 lbs today. Called 30 minutes ago and scheduled my husband's surgery. In 3 weeks, he'll start his sleeve journey and I'm so happy for him.

Dang this sleeve! I want a cupcake so badly, but I have no room after all of the broccoli I just ate. :/ It's a good thing, but still... cupcake!

150.2 lbs today. Did I mention my goal is 150 lbs? I FEEL LIKE SUCH A SUCCESS!!! My celebratory lunch is steamed broccoli with a little olive oil, a lot of parmesan, and a bit of crushed red pepper flakes.
