Ms skinniness

So happy to hear your about to start your journey to a new life style that will make you healthier and Hot and Sexy to boot! I know you will do well and please keep us posted about your journey....

OMG! You are on your way to a healthier life with the horrible side effects of being HOT and SEXY! Keep it up.... I know that you are going to do fine......

The amazing thing for the procedure for me is that I haven't had any migraines since........So happy.....Migraines are very debilitating and take a big portions of our lives from us. Did you DIL have wls? Hope she keeps this up and it sounds like you are a very supportive and loving MIL...... Keep it up!

Laura your face matches your jacket! So hot and sexy! I love that you had the beach to yourself......There's nothing like family time.....

I get dizzy and I have low blood pressure. So I try and drink more fluids and increased my salt intake to retain some of the water now.

I was told about 5days. And I wasn't taking any pain meds. I did and still get bored staying at home.

I am so tired of being limited to the same foods so I am looking for other proteins to eat..... Carbs also make me crash and feel really horrible...... I also will eat a quest protein bar too. For breakfast, it's typically a Premier Protein shake or an egg. So boring now.... But so worth it.

For breakfast I will eat eggs, cheese, sausage, bacon and yogurts.... I have to keep my diet low of carbs because when I eat a carb, I will gain a couple of pounds, and it could be water weight but I'm not really liking it. At 3 months out you can pretty much have any kind of meats but I highly recommend that you eat the moist meats, they are easier to digest. I still like the moist meats to this day... I love chili a lot......

Around the 6 month mark, I started slowing down in weight loss. I have only lost a few pounds since then. But I was really close to goal. This is frustrating especially if you have a lot more to lose. But it will keep coming off and you will have stalls. the weight does come off at a slower rate, but it does come off. You calories sound good, so maybe check with your NUT and see what he/she has to say....And let us know. Keep up the good work and CONGRATS! You are a success story.....

I know that the sleeve is just a tool. It does not change our thoughts about food. It will not stop you from putting that evil calorie dense food in your mouth. This takes a lot of work psychologically. Most of us on here are addicts and the most tempting foods are foods that have sugar, fats, and salt.......This is what the processed foods delivered to us by manufacturers have targeted people for.........So now our journey is to work on our emotional eating habits and recognize our triggers when they come up to prevent from acting on the triggers. We will gain weight if we eat around the sleeve. I do fall off the wagon and do notice that when I eat a piece of candy, I crave more sugars. I can not stop at one......This is a life time job for all of us.....

I so love what you wrote here! AMEN! This is life now so let's do what we can to maintain a healthy skinny life now..

I'm 18 months out and I have a fluctuation of about 4 lbs..... Couple of days ago I was at a 1 lb fluctuation and today, I'm at my 4 lb fluctuation. It does scare the cr** out of me too. This is the time that I get back to eating basics of proteins first. Over the weekend I ate junk and had some bread. So I contribute the little I ate as the culprit....I have to tell myself that I need to eat healthy foods. I have to set boundaries with family members about bringing in the cr** too. I am a food addict so I have to stay focused on healthy eating habits. I am really bad about exercise too. I will find an excuse to not and that makes me sad.. But I know that I can and will get back on track today. You are not done losing weight, so get back on track and focus on the goal..... Yep you can do this........

I had this struggle before my surgery and I came to a realization that I really did not need all the food I was eating. This changed everything. I cut my portions in half and stuck with it. This was my new beginnings. I don't miss it and I still go out to eat all the time. I love my new sleeve and I have actually saved a lot of money by eating way less and I buy organic. I love this life style.

I have not slimed or vomited since surgery and so wish I could or have.

I love hearing you TOOT your horn! CONGRATS! This is nothing to sneeze at.....

congrats! There are so much more to come your way!

My husband was really supportive of my decision. But I do know that your husband is likely to be very scared of all the things to come. He is so afraid of losing you that he doesn't know what to say.....It might open up his emotional vault and he couldn't get it back in check. This is a good time to open up the communication gate and let him know that you love for who he is and give him a big hug......After the procedure is done, he will be right there at your side and be the biggest support you could have ever imagined......

I love the Premier protein shake from Costco or Sam's club.... What I recommend at this stage is to first get your water in and then work on your protein drink then. Remember, you can't really drink that much right now so take a couple of ozs and stop drinking the minute you feel full. Your stomach is really swollen right now so be gentle on it...... Sometimes the symptoms your experiencing could be from eating too much, too much sugar, etc. Take it slowly and let us know how your doing. If you have any questions please feel free to ask......

I couldn't sleep for 3 nights after coming home from the hospital. then I took sleep aid from costco and that helped a lot. I do struggle with sleep till this day. I put myself on a schedule of sleep from 11:00pm till I wake up at 5:30 or 6:00am if I'm lucky...

I like many others are addicted to foods that contain sugars , fats and salts. I love rich foods. I can not eat just 1 cookie. I can each a lot of them. My mine will remind me about the targeted food an. I will obsess until I eat it. I can not do moderation I struggle with saying no. That is the past and today I am working on abstinence. Yes I am addicted to food. I do miss it when eating out but I am adjusting. .

I eat chobani it had way less sugar than other brands. I did have to adjust to it though.

I'm in Fullerton and had surgery with Orange Coast in Fountain Valley with dr Kelly Francis. I've lost 95% of my excess weight.

So happy that you have joined us on this posting.....can't wait to hear more about your success in getting rid of those pesky lbs.....

Congrats Jason! Glad to hear your doing really good..... Keep ROCKIN THAT SLEEVE!

I'm so loving this right now.....
