Sabrina- let's do this reset together!

I was very glad to see this topic. I am about 2 1/2 years out, never made goal (by about 15 lbs) and this fall gained about 10 lbs back. I know the grazing has killed me. Also, being able to better tolerate carbs too.
I have been trying to figure out what to do to get back on track. This week I statted with shakes as meal substitiutes with a nice high Protein low carb dinner. Hopefully I can get back on the right side of the scale movement.

Brazcan- Let's do it! I'm all for having a "take back the sleeve" suport group.

I need a reset too!!!
I was sleeved 04/03/2012...not one complication and loved it! It's the best thing I've ever did for myself. I do tell my friends that it's the easiest but also the hardest thing...Easy because the weight just fell off but hard because it's always a mental game. Ahhh but I digress...
My lowest recorded weight was 159lbs...although I think my lowest was at 148lbs (after gall bladder surgery). I am now at 182lbs. GRR...I'm so disappointed in myself BUT I know that I can do it. I want this 20lbs off and I will get it off. I've been planning my meals and starting trying to get in my Water (emphasis on trying) and I start bikram yoga this weekend.
160..you're calling my name!
Wish Me Luck !
PS. If anyone needs an accountability partner...let me know

In Hudson County JC born and raised. On the playground is where I spent most of my days...

Included in my surgeon's list were: Extensive bloodwork, Glucose Challenge, EKG, Abdominal Ultrasound, sleep Study, and Endoscopy.
Coupled with the insurance companies requirements, it's like a full time job trying to keep track of what I have to do next.

The chub-rub gel is actually Anti-Chafing cream by Monistat. It is a god-send. As for the blocked sweat glands, they look like raised white bumps, almost like pimples. The stuff in them though, is not clear or liquid-y. It comes out like dry, almost like cheese. They itch a little, but once it gets too irritated, they hurt like a sonofagun too.

Thanks again for all tips. I raided the Feminine Hygiene section of WalMart yesterday and picked up the Summers Eve wash, wipes, and powder and some washcloths. Hopefully this will do the trick.

Like PP said- step away from the scale! Like any time we tried to diet in the past, the more you obsess about what he scale says, the worse it will seem.

Congrats on your loss so far. You were one of the first people that got sleeved since I started reading the forum. Its so great to see your progress.

Congrats- and thanks for the Muppet imagery! I could totally see the Kermit flail in my head.

Thanks for the suggestions! I am off to the nearest Walgreens to buy me some relief. I was able to get a doctor's appointment- but not for two weeks.
I think the worst part of this ordeal is not be able to see what the issue is. I have to rely on my husband's help. Another thing I can look forward to when I lose the weight- being able to tend & care for the kitty on my own.

I had mine yesterday. They also game me Propofol. Don't remember anything after cursing out the stupid anesthesiologist who did not warn me that he was injecting the drug into the IV and that I should expect my hand to feel like a burning inferno.

According to my brother- Kidney Stones are the closest men come to experiencing child birth.

It is one of the things I am hoping for. Not that it is bad now, just harder.
