great job! How tall are you by the way?

I was a food addict and still am but the sleeve prevents me from overeating too much. I slipped around the holidays and gained 30 lbs back because I kept eating slider foods. I didn't think I could gain weight back after being sleeved but I sure learned my lesson. Now I track everything I put in my mouth and eat under 1200 calories a day. I make sure that I exercise at least 30 minutes daily as well. I have anxiety too and take meds for it, which increases my appetite.

awesome good for you!!

I felt like that too at first but it goes away after a couple months. Don't eat to fill full, eat until you are no longer feeling hungry or empty inside.I hate the too full feeling.

great job!! I'm now a medium and going towards a small when before, only 4x would fit. YAY!!!

I made this last night but put in almond flour (ground up almonds) so it was thicker and tasted more like bread. It was very filling. I could only eat 2 small slices.

What does this end up tasting like? Bread at all??

Last night I made tuna salad with greek yogurt and put in some horseradish mustard for a kick. It turned out really good and tasted better than putting greasy mayo in there.

The first 6 months I lost 100 lbs then when I lost my job I gained 30 lbs because I kept eating so many slider foods due to depression. Now I've lost 10 lbs of that and trying to go back down with a new lifestyle change of eating low carb and high protein.

Do you have any co-morbidities like sleep apnea, diabetes, etc? They will cover it at 35 if so. I was perfectly healthy with a BMI of 42 so was covered with no problem.

Thanks all for the encouragement and support. :wub:

This is awesome! Keep up the good work. :wub:

I can't believe it that I'm overweight and no longer obese!! This is great! I don't know why I'm so happy about being overweight but I am. BMI is less than 30!!!! I used to be 42 before surgery.

It is cheaper to eat only an appetizzer or off the children's menu. You could even share a meal with someone.

I think I would of had the bypass if I did it all over again. The reason is that I crave carbs and fatty foods so can eat a ton of them with the sleeve. I only feel full if I eat meat.
