I prefer home made burgers !

O yaAaa don't forget about 3-5 fries

I'm almost one year out and I can almost eat half of a regular size burger with cheese lettuce pickles condiments all my OLD style things I ate before the sleeve. Depending on what else I have eaten that day and how recently I've drank anything. If you wanted an actual REAL PERSON answer and not someone who's thinking they are NEVER going to eat a burger again! Geez people to each his or her own!

My BMI was 40.5 I had been gaining and losing the same 30 # about 30x over the past 20 years and never got to what I WANT to weigh. I started at 205 highest weight was 215 and I'm 5'0". Now I'm 145 still would like to lose 10-15 more but if I don't O well I still feel alot better than I did 65# ago!!! If I ate just how u was supposed to and exercised regularly I'm sure I'd lose the last bit but either way even if it super slow I'm keeping it off and feeling healthier!!! I'm almost 1 yr. out and really I eat anything I'm in the mood for just much smaller portions than before. It's been great for me NOOO regrets!!'

I drank one drink slowly about 6-7 weeks out at a wedding. Did fine no problems but I did have a buzz in about 5 min flat!!' LOL

I went to Mexico in April of 2011. My tour guide was Mayan decent so he says lol. But he also said its not the end just a new era and cycle. I figure he lives in the area so he should know more about the "true" meaning and not what's on the history channel doomsday marathon

Good luck! I live about 45 min from Galveston near Beaumont. Have fun shopping!

The labs being abnormal does not necessarily meaning you have it. I have had high test results before and then had normal test later back n forth . I used to have various ongoing joint pains which have been much better the past few years. And i don't have RA. So just keep on top of it and hope for the best! I saw a rheumatologist a few times and they said no I don't have it even though these other things were going on.

I love Galveston. The water isn't the bluest but the laid back atmosphere there is great!

Yep! I'm in the same boat. Had a male friend of my husband say DAYUM girl we gonna have to take up a collection to buy u an ASS!!! Its Not a pretty sight right now About to start hitting the squats hard and I do have the brazil butt lift DVD soooo ya I need to take it out of the package LOL.

Sounds like a plan I'm just going to enjoy my day today and wait and see what tomorrow brings. I will def say my prayers and repent tonight and be with my family.

I need to use that app. I've been in a weight stall for over 2 months close to 3 ... but I think still shrinking sizes bc my clothes are def looser. I have 15-20 left to lose so I'm SURE this will be hardest. Going to start exercising and drinking more water for my New Years Resolution! LOL. 5'1 started at 205 highest 215. Now 147 right now my skin in certain areas is loose and crinkly but I hope this improves with time and exercise!

It is different, that's for sure. Kind of irritating in a weird way how strangers men and women actually TALK to you and try to engage you in a conversation. Also how men will hold the door for me now...I'm thinking you weren't HOLDING the door for me 57# ago! I'm sure I will get over this irritated phase and actually it's better the past couple of months. There is definatly a mental component but it's not anything major for me atleast. I never really SAW myself as that big or big as I was until I look back NOW at pics from last year and think DAMN I was pretty big.... so I guess that's why I wasn't scared to lose the weight.

Surg was 2-6-12. down about 57, still wanting to lose 15-20 more since I'm so dang short 5'0"! I have been very happy with the surgery. I still eat what I want just WAY smaller portions, and I have barely exercised...so I figure to get this last bit off I will have to exercise consistently. I have been stalled for alittle over 2 months this time, before the longest was about 6-7 weeks. I have went from a tight 12 pants and xl shirt to a 6 pants and med shirt. Feeling great! My personal goal is 130.

I live in the Beaumont area had mine 10 months ago and have lost 57. I have had virtually no problems and am very happy with the surgery. I still need to lose 15-20 more but I'm sure this part will take the longest.

5'0" started at 205 currently 145 surgery was 2-6-12 highest weight of 215. I now wear a 6 Pants and a medium shirt. . No problems other than i also had hair loss. Started 3 mo out and stopped 6 mo out. My hair was thin to begin with so it's still recouping! I pretty much eat whatever I'm hungry for just much smaller portions than before and I really haven't exercised at all but I plan to after the holidays. It's been a great experience !

I did a shake for breakfast for several months but i may start back for my New Years Resolution lol. Good to hear I'm pretty normal. I also can eat 1 taco, or about 1/2 to 3/4 of a small burger. I usually eat half all together then wait while and eat the other half of the meat. Or else my dog get a treat! They get lotsa treats now

I'm a low BMI-er, was 205 now 145 5'0". Still need to lose 15-20. I'm almost 10 months out. I can ... As best as I can figure bc I haven't weighed my food... Eat about 6-8 oz. at a time depending in what it is. When I go out to eat like tonight for instance I ate 3-4 bites of spinach dip with a small chip, 4 bites/pieces of salad, I sliver/half of a small lobster tail, and 3-4 bites of my steak ... All a little spaced out of course. I still eat whatever I like of of course much less and I stay full a lot longer between meals. I don't wanna feel line I'm on a never ending diet! I was just curious now much others can or do eat??? Of course if I were more diligent about what I eat and exercised.... Which I barely have I would probably be at goal now, but even though slower I think I will !!!! Just wanna hear from others and how they "live with" the sleeve.

I could always drink super easy from the get go. And eating rarely was. a problem either. It's been almost 10 months and I've lost 60 just 15-20 more to go! i am short 5'0" and started at 205. I eat pretty much what ever I want and I don't exercise. I'm sure IF I were more diligent I would be at goal now. But I also didn't want to feel like I was on a never ending diet! After the holidays I plan to start exercising more faithfully so I will be 100% at goal by spring

Same here !!!! started about 6 mo out from surg as well. Now I'm 9.5 mo out. It sucks! I just had my hormones tested last week no results yet. I'm thinking the same things I should be raring to go buy noooo. I HAVE NEVER had this low of drive. I hope whatever it is fixes itself SOON!!! It's gotta be something to do with the fast weight loss and the estrogen going down? Not sure. But i don't like it one bit!

Well. Right now I feel like I did 21 yrs ago after my first child. I'm not BIG but not small enough yet. I was 120 +\-5 before kids but the lowest I've been since kids was 130. That was before my 2nd child. The least I've weighed since her is about 145. Right now I'm 147. This is how I ended up gaining so much in the first place after kids bc I thought " I look like crap anyhow and have stretch marks from hell ... So ill just EAT!" But now I'm older and wiser I hope and realize I'm never gonna look like I did at 20 before kids. My skin just won't allow it! So I'm trying to just look at all the positives from losing 57 so far. Still want to get to 125-135. I just have to accept that no matter what I weigh I'm not gonna get that 20 yr. old hot bod back LOL. BUT I DEF look a hell of a lot better now that at 205

I'm down to 147 from 205 highest weight of 215. Feeling great! No problems pretty much eat whatever I want just WAY less. Def need more exercise but hey I'm happy with my progress so far. Original goal was 135. Now I'm thinking 125. But it is what it is... I'm still living life like always and being me

Geezxz I just wanted info on what available not start a war.just like anything else I'm sure it works for some and not for others. Information sharing never hurt anyone! !

You will do it sunny bunny I was where u. And now I'm 147. Want to get to 130ish. Only been almost 9 mo since surf. I probably would have been at goal by now if u worked a little harder and ate a little better but I eat what I want just WAY less and exercise very little. That's just me.

I'm still stuck but I haven really changed anything. One thig I really need to do is drink more. I figure I my r get 50 oz a day. Need more.
