No because they only come on when I overeat. What I want is to get back the control I had after surgery

NG I think we r the same. Same day same loss.

TMI? As of late I have been BAD!!! I continue to test my sleeve and tonight was the first time I wish I was bulimic. I just have these god awful hiccup - burps which doesn't bring it all up. Better wish: I wish I would get a hold of My damn self and get it together already! Out . Of. Control .

I'm always cheating and hate myself every single time. I'm telling you- don't do it. The minute I did it was all downhill from there. I feel like I didn't deserve this surgery right now and struggle like I did before. Stay strong everyone

You guys make me feel normal. I wish I could get control of it all. I really don't get sick. Wish I did. I dot usually over eat but I tend to take more food on my plate. I also am not afraid (wish I was) to grab Halloween candy if I feel like some. P's me off. I kinda wish it was Sept 13 Again and start Over.

28.2 - Wish it was more but my fault in sure. Congrats everyone!

Normal. Keep with it. It will kick in again.

I don't know what I weigh at 8 weeks out. 2 scales and both are not accurate. I'm wondering if anyone fills their plate more than they should? Meaning: No matter what I make or order my brain STILL always takes wayyyyy more than my belly would accommodate. I actually took a picture of my food when I made tacos (no shell) and literally sat back when I sat down before I ate and thought "who am I trying to kid and WHY do I continue to do that?". Why waste food and money. Brain and belly are not on speaking terms right now

Falling off the face of the earth for a bit it seems. You all are doing awesome! I've been ridiculous when it comes to cheating. Halloween was not a good thing. I still seem to lose though? Of course I'm probably exaggerating a bit with saying how much I'm cheating- I feel like anytime I have something out of the "norm" is cheating when in reality it's not. Ah well- here's to another good week for everyone!! Ready- keep posted on your testing- thinking of you!

Well- did good all day until tonight. Hands in tr candy - Gah!

Also guilty! 3 reces peanut butter cups (throughout night) - rationalized the protein. Had a smartie. Hot dog for supper and bit on more later. Hmmmm and whatever else. Bad bad bad. And I'm not even a bit sick. Tomorrow is a new day

Me toooooo!

Wow Everyone is doing fabulous! Congrats I saw my dr this past week (6 week check up). She walked in and said I'm the ideal patient!!! NEVER have I been told that. I'm such a spaz with medical stuff so that literally made me laugh outloud. So I'm down 25 since surgery and 36 since highest weight since August 13. I was thinking that was slow and she said its exactly where she wants me to be. I always talk about this forum and others experiences and what i feel better about is that she said losing faster is greate risk for gaining back later and metabolism gets out of whack. So- I'm ok with this now. I felt bad for awhile. I also think part of feelin bad is just not believing I will lose weight. Historically I have been able to drop 30 ish pounds and Thats it. So really- I just can't wrap my head around that I will lose it. Time will tell. So nice job to all weight losses- Big and smaller. Just remember we are all on the right track and it doesn't matter when we get to finish line- because it's the journey that really counts. And to the poster who talked about the 60-70% loss of excess weight- that is accurate on an average loss. This is a tool and you have to work it. So if you're following what your doc an Nut tell you - you should be fine. I believe that percentage goes up by 10-15% when you are exercising and again- that's average . You can do this I've been advanced to general diet and to "use my head". She doesn't usually advance yet but I'm tolerating well. I asked about popcorn and she said NO POPCORN . Not yet. . Gooey and sticky inside your belly...... Have a fabulous day!

I will

You can offer your sympathy Um I will confess - I hate journaling but I really have tried many times. If I would guess I would say 800 tops. I do meet with doc this week and the NUT has been calling to do a follow up so I suppose I should return that call. It's not that I don't want to. My life - after four weeks off- has been soooo busy. But I have a couple dr apts to return to so I will get on that tomorrow. Hold me accountable . Thank you

First- thanks for the giggle I'm I'd like to say I do but I hated it before and I still do. I tried MFP an that's not working out for me. Perhaps a good old' fashion cute notebooks- yeah maybe I'll try that tomorrow.

Fellow sleeve sista- back at you. Hang in there now. I see doc on Thursday- and the NUT keeps calling to make follow up appt and I avoid it. Hmmmmm perhaps I should NOT AVOID?!? . I will call tomorrow - When do u see doc
