@tina which revision surgery did you have? I have BCBSIL too and hoping they will approve :)

I fall off easily too! I'm heading to the store this weekend to get back to the basics ... Lots of meal prep, protein shakes for every day ... I wanna get back to where I was and then some. I'm two years out and want to be back on track ????????

I'm envious and happy for you! How did you get your insurance to cover it?

I needed to read this - thank you!

Started yesterday ... Lost 2.6 lbs already!! Yay!!

I too am in reset mode. I am 18months out and never hit goal. About 40 lbs away. I want so badly to remove some of this extra skin but I know that the docs won't consider me until I'm closer to my goal weight. I too am a grazer (and I enjoy some wine too much on occasion). I will share that I restarted based on some of the things I have read on the threads - currently doing the 5 Day Pouch Test to reset my tool. I'm in day two - and even lost 2.6 lbs on my first day!!! We can do this ... We have each other!! PS - Paris is awesome so that June trip is going to be great!! I adore France!

I am excited to start this! I can even begin tomorrow as I have all of the items for days 1 and 2 - thank you!

I'm in a very similar position. Started at 259.9 and am now 221.4. I'm about 9 weeks out since surgery and am 5'3" - been stuck here for abt 2 weeks. Just started hard at the gym so hope that makes a difference.

Congrats!!!

Prayers for all being sleeved today - you will all do great! I look forward to hearing your stories - I promise it's scary but afterwards isn't as bad

I liked and still use the premier Protein Shakes - not too shabby and a quick bf in the morning on my way to work. I'm 7 weeks post op.

I know salmon can be a real fishy flavor - which isn't my favorite - what abt mahi mahi? Is the fishy flavor more subtle?

I'm in the same boat - and was feeling like a slower loser but I just keep in mind that at least it's still going down and not stopping or going up. I'm 5 weeks out - started preop diet at 259.9 - surgery at 249.9 - currently 227. I will say that I can probably do more gym time - that would help

Mine too!

I'm 5 weeks out from surgery and am freezing too - my husband hates it as I use him as my heater - he he he LOL

Welcome to the site! You are in the right place for getting information, looking for support - all from people who can relate to you

That's awesome progress! Great job! As of this morning I am down 30.5 lbs. surgery date 10/29. Fingers crossed I do as well as u.

I have heard and read many positives of using both Prilosec and Miralax - not necessarily together but I suppose you could if needed. I'm curious - I don't feel like I have acid indigestion but I do think I feel hungry when I may not be - so I have heard Prilosec is what to take. I've also heard to keep things regular w ease to use Miralax. Please share your thoughts on the use of these two products and if they have helped you. Or on the flip side - you used them and saw no difference. My inquiring mind wants to know

So I'm curious - I'm just shy of three weeks post op and am doing great. I'm looking forward to a mini Thanksgiving meal but have one question .... How far out from surgery were u able to have meat? I'm not sure I will have a traditional meal w a small slice of turkey n certainly don't want to try n later experience pain - so any insight would b greatly appreciated

Welcome to the bench - hope u recover well - I definitely gets to b easier day by day

What are sunkist protein shots?

Lol I "liked" Your post... But not because I like that you were a sneak eater It's just nice to meet you Thanks! Nice to meet you as well - I have been inspired by you and sincerely appreciate and value what you have to say. I know you are a year out now right!?! With me not even a month out - your words are wisdom - not to mention a communication style I admire! Thanks for being you Laura!

Me too!

I have an IUD as well and I keep forgetting to tell my surgeon that I have one. I wonder if that is even something I should bring up...what do you think?I told my doc but she didnt seem to think it was a big deal - so if you feel like you should share then definitely do it - but don't stress if you haven't
