  1. I know Im late. I feel your struggle. I got sleeved in 2012 also. June 14th was my surgerversary. I put on 50 pounds in last couple years so I know your frustration. I manned up and went to see my doctor this past monday 6/20/16. I was sure he was going to go in on me for the late visit and for the gain but it was totally different. He said that I carried the weight gain well but said my blood pressure was high. Im 36 and too young to have high blood pressure. High blood pressure does not go with my outfit. LOL I even had to go back to sleeping with my CPAP machine. I was very discouraged but he told me to come back to see the Nut'ist and he wanted to see me in six months instead waiting a year. So Im paying attention to my diet and I walk an hour everyday. It feels like an up hill battle but Im determined to get back to were I was. You can do this. just take it one day at a time and know that you are not the only one who has fallen. If you need someone to hold accountable from now on the let me know. Sometimes I need that myself. I was a sexy fother mucker at my goal weight. LOL! Now I just feel like blah! Thats real talk. My wife likes the smaller me and I did too. She doesn't complain but I want to be healthier to be around for my family so thats my motivation.

    Just saying hello :-)

    The shakes are good but if you can ready your protein that will help keep you full longer and shower digesting. Your body can only absorb so much protein at a time. Which may be why you aren't losing right now. It is frustrating but listen to your NUT, you'll get there.
  8. i went shopping this weekend....i was like a kid in a candy store. never in my adult life have walked into a store and not have toask for something in a larger size. everything i saw i could wear. it was just a matter of what i didnt want verses what i had to settle for. yeah, thats cool. lol

  9. nice sentiment - congrats on your weight loss today, tomorrow and in the future
