Small Portions At Restaurants
When I had my first meal out at a restaurant, I went to Salt Grass Steak House with my nieces. I order the child's size portion of baby back ribs & french fries. I could only eat 3 french fries & 1 baby rib. I was very upset. But as times goes on I got used/familiar with my sleeve now, i have no problem ordering off the kid's menu. more money in my pocket & i have left overs.

The Scale: A Love/hate Relationship
I too felt the same way about the scale. This is my second stall. I have a new pair of jeans that I just got last week and they were a little snug. now since my stall is over i've dropped inches & 2 lbs and now they are a little baggy. That's why I'm not in a hurry to go shopping because wearing a pair of jeans for 1 month is not gonna work for me. I am still wearing my old (fat girl) clothes and i look uber ridiculous so i have to do something.

Mentor Needed
I had a stall last week. I stayed at the same weight for 2 weeks and i thought my sleeve stopped working. Just try to be persistant in excersize or walking and you will see a change. I lost inches also. I just had to tell myself to enjoy the journey because this time next year you will not look or feel the same. I was sleeved April 17th. if you have anymore questions dont hesitate to contact me.

3 Weeks Post-Op And Having Doubts
Hey MK, Ofcourse some of us had those issues. I almost cried because I couldn't eat what I wanted & much as I wanted. It gets better as time goes on but this is the new life WE chose. Just remember the reason you did it to began with like health/medical issues for instance. Your mind has to catch up with your body. I am 1 month post op and I still fight with skinny girl/fat girl. Keep your head up! Also, there will be a time when you hit a stall, that is when you will go weeks without loosing a single pound, but may loose inches. After I started walking, I lost 6lbs in 3 days. You are alright I went through the same thing. I'm ok now. still mentally dealing with it but it's ok...really

Today Was Rough!
Hey don't beat up on yourself. I love sweets also, I had 1 cupcake & a scoop of ice cream last week. I dont have cravings like i use to. but i dont deprive myself. after the cookie just say ok, no more. i think the reason for the vomiting is because you ate too much or too fast (you were sneaking). last night i went to an event they had mini cupcakes, brownies & fruit. i chose fruit because i knew it was better for me and forwhat i am doing, if i would have deprived myself last week, trust me i would have grabbed a mini red velvet cupcake w/buttercreme icing. your mind has to catch up with your body. your mind has not gotten the memo that youre doing a new thing. i still fight with skinny girl/fat girl. i am also 1 mo post opand has lost 29 1/2 lbs. keep going, enjoy your journey its all trial and error, keep ur head up!
