I call my sinle hiccup my warning signal...I stop eating immediately!!

Hi everyone! I am down 46 pounds, feeling great and getting over my foot injury. Ready for doc to give the ok on my foot so I can exercise. Having trouble getting all of my protien in bc the smell/taste make me want to hurl. I saw my reflection the other day and didn't recognize myself. And I've been called skinny! Yay March sleevers!!

Deputy sheriff..promoted last year to lieutenant, before that I was a child abuse/sexual assault/homicide investigator.

Im not quite to skinny yet, but I can see a change when I look in the mirror. Mainly when I put on clothes that fit like sausage casings before :thumbup:. It is so satisfying to see changes however small they may be. Some days I feel like myself from long ago. Today I feel a little "fluffier" than usual! But it's okay, tomorrow is a new day!

Congrats Wannalise!! I'm so happy for you!

Pnw, I will not offer you advice because each situation like yours is unique and private. My husband is the child of an alcoholic father and at 40 years old he prays each day for his dad to get treatment, but the likelihood of that happening is very small.Your whole family took a huge step towards healing today and from the bottom of my heart I wish you all the best. I hope for his sake and y'alls kids sake that he will recover. God bless.

Yay March 2010 sleevers!!! Everyone seems to be doing great! I'm not sure how everyone else feels...but I know that I could not have ever lost this much weight without the sleeve. I see only a bright, healthy future...for us all!

Very brave post. That took guts to share your expierence. Kudos to you.

Good job! Very happy for you!

My weight loss has increased in the past couple of weeks, however I was in a stall about a month ago. I was sleeved on 3/23, beginning weight 258, currently 218. Yay! I just tore a ligament in my foot (the day after I was released to exercise:( ) and have been on crutches for about 1 1/2 weeks. Kinda worried how this might affect my weight loss while it heals. But honestly these damn crutches are the biggest work out I've had in a while.

I confess that I bought some delicious cupcakes for my daughters college signing ceremony. Then ate one ( it took a couple of days). Then I went back to order her graduation cake and my hubbys 40th birthday cake...and bought another cupcake. Most of it is still in my fridge. But it is sooo good! Funny, bc I've never been a sweets person!

Im at 8 weeks. I chew everything to mush, which isn't hard bc they are all air..

After having the sleeve, I have promised myself there will be no more fad diet pills, diets, etc. My sleeve is my tool and I will use it well.

Ok. I am addicted to pork rinds. I crave them over anything...funny thing is I never liked them before my surgery..in fact the smell made me want to barf ! I have always been a carb queen. Now i want pork rinds, chicken, lunch meat and cheese! I still like bread, etc just don't crave it anymore. But the pork rinds are my current fave!

I started my pre-op diet and never turned back. However, the weeks before that I ate whatever, whenever. Food was my everything. I used to live to eat, now I eat to live. I do not deprive myself of anything. If I want something sweet, I have a bite or two same with all my other faves! I have never taken the position that I'll never get to have those things again, because if I did I would be setting myself up for failure. I know what my limits are, I listen to my very tiny tummy and stop. In the past my head would interfere, telling me to get more! But my stomach is in charge now! You will do fine. As you heal, find what works for you. I am 7 weeks post op and down 34 pounds. Best of luck!
