Thanks. ???? I remember just starting out being terrified it would be so easy to put it back on and all the posts I read were "don't eat sugar " don't eat bread" or you will gain your weight back. Well I just wanted to let people know I can eat like a normal person and am just fine. Of coarse I don't over do it but I'm defently not living on a diet now.

And doing awsome. My starting weight was 305 and my year anniversary I was 165. My goal was 155- 159. Here I am 8 months later and still 165-168 pounds. I feel like I eat like a normal person. If I want a cookie I eat a cookie. I still can't eat very much but I haven't had a hard time with any foods. It hasn't been hard for me to stay at this weight. I'm So happy I did this and sometimes I even forget I had it done. Totally worth it!!! Gonna try alittle harder to get the last off cause me and my husband are trying to get pregant so I wanna hit goal before that. ????

That happened to me last night after I ate ice cream. Makes me never want ice cream again though!!!

It's called bowtrol and its a pill! I really like it, it hasn't caused any annoying side effects. I'm hoping this will help me get all the way to goal but I was estatic when the scale finally moved I was stalled for like 3 months. And I'm over a year so I just thought I was done!

Oh it doesn't make you stay in the bathroom all day or give you cramps!

I've lost 140 pounds pretty much thought I was done losing. I had 20 more pounds till I was at goal. I started a colon cleanse because I heard it helped your body be more regular not necessarily thinking about weight loss and since I've started using it it I've lost 6 pounds in 2 weeks!!! I'm hoping this will help me get the last 14 off. I'm using the brand bowtrol if anybody else feels stuck like me give it a try!

Can't believe it's been a year already! Starting weight was 305 wearing a size 20 and I'm now 167 wearing a size 10. Total loss of 137 pounds!!!!! I'm 5'9 so I reached a normal bmi at 168. So happy I did this. How's everybody else doing?

I was the same way starting at 305 and didn't notice a difference till about 220 ish. Now I'm 167 and I can notice every 5 pounds I lose. The smaller you get you will notice more its just getting all the bulk off first.

Thanks for the advice I do lose (slowly) at 1200 calories but I do burn 400 calories on the elliptical almost every day. I am gonna slow down on working out so I will probably have to lower my calories to 1000 or under.

How many calories do you eat a day for maintence?? I see a lot of people saying 1200 but thats what I eat now and I'm still trying to lose 10 pounds. I'm on my fitness pal and 1200 calories is what that tells me to eat to lose and it says like 2000 to maintain. That seems like a lot for us sleevers.

Thanks every body if I can do any body can!!

Yay jan 30 is my one year sugervisary and I've lost 137 pounds so far. After months of being stalled at 170 I weighed in at 168 today which is in the normal category for my 5'9 height!! Can't remember the last time I was a normal bmi today is a victory!!! 8 more pounds till goal gonna work hard to try and get that off before my 1 year!!

Yeah I'm actually really bad at drinking water????

Any old timers with advice to get the last 20 pounds off. the scale keeps fluctuating from 170 to 172 but never below 170!! So frustrating!!

That's so exciting once theres a date it really sets in!

Haha I'm the queen of inappropriate so I dont mind answering at all! My girly parts tightened up just fine I can even feel my pelvic bone now.

I sneeze and get a runny nose now when I'm full it's the craziest thing!

I love the nsvs! This truly is the best thing I've done for myself! I remember this time last year just feeling so defeated by my weight and so so very scared to do this sugery! I'm so glad god gave me the strength to finally go through with it! It's crazy what a huge difference just a year makes!

Lost 130 pounds Height- 5'9 Pre op- 305 Right now- 170 Goal- 160 Age- 27 Wearing a size 10 pants and medium shirt Weigh less then my husband Wore high heels all night I can wear sexy lingerie with out feeling like a pooped open biscuit can! O yes all the cute cloths! I can move around so much easier No more pcos so when I'm ready to have a baby I won't worry about not getting pregant! Getting my social life back Feeling pretty again Sex is so much more fun now that I can get in different positions ???? I'm sure there are tons more just can't think of them right now! I'm so glad I did this for myself best thing I have ever done! Feel free to share your wonderful nsvs!!!

I had a huge nsv this week i hit the 170s!! havnt seen that for 10 years or so, so i decided to go shopping for new cloths. I exchanged one problem or another! Before I hated shopping because nothing fit and i felt fat to I liked everything and can't afforded all of it. . I'm wearing a size 10/12 and a medium shirt now. I did a little happy dance in the dressing room.

Lol I had to train my husband to stop jack rabbiting. Just make him slow down if it's hurting you!

That's insane I paid 8,000 with dr aceves in Mexico and couldn't be happier with that decision.

I've been bouncing from 180 to 182 for a month now it's so frustrating because 160 is my goal and I havnt seen a 179 since high school. Ive lost 125 pounds so far i just don't know how to tell if it's just a long stall or is my body done losing?

Oh don't back out!! For me it wasn't that bad I was surprised at how fast and easy my healing process was, I was back at work in 7 days! I'm 9 months now and hardly even remember getting the sugery! Its the best thing I have ever done for myself.

You'll be fine it probably won't be as bad as you think. I was pleasantly surprised during the healing process. I was even back at work(im a hairstyliest) in 7 days after sugery!! I'm 9 months now and hardly remember even having it done. Best thing I have ever done for my self!!
