SF fudgesicles! I have a SF popsicle (cherry) for dessert every night. Of course my grandson has to eat the orange and green ones from the box!
Good luck!

This is tricky, could it be lactose?? I know some people have problems with that. I would def see your doctor, this maybe something u related to the sleeve. Good luck and please keep us posted.

My surgery was 9/6/12. Down 77 so far and loving my sleeve. No real issues but still on some meds for diabetes (even tho doc says I can stop my a1c was 5.0!) More energy and today I got up off the floor without touching anything! NSV!
I hope we both continue to do well. I plan to be at goal by one year surgiversary!
God bless,

Beautiful before AND after! So inspiring!

Well here it is. I'm so embarrassed by my before photo smh, but that was me. All 330 lbs of me. Yikes!! My highest was 346 lbs at the start of this journey, but I lost 16 lbs pre op and 134 lbs post op and still going.
330 lbs day of surgery 196 lbs

Mexican shrimp cocktail. That is all.

Fiddle i will 2nd the emotion on eating beef jerkey, or baby bel cheese - love both
i have boiled an egg too - that takes the "edge" off
only thing is after i make the egg, i have to put in fridge for 30 minutes, i only like them cold
my favorite "emergency" stand by is "old faithful" my greek yogurt
you'll be fine - all that exercising and stuff - burning off all those calories
btw - why don't you proudly post a ticker showing that you lost 180 lbs??!!!! is it a secret???
oooooops - i won't tell anyone
congrats on all your successes in your new happier, heathier, longer life - you are aces!!!! take a bow!!!!

So, my dear husband - ALWAYS gave me chocolates for Valentines Day - even when I pleaded with him prior to the day not too - chocolate is my weakness. This year (I was sleeved Dec 3, 2012) I didn't think I had to ask him not to give me candy and I was right!! He gave me a Nike+fuel Bracelet. I can set fitness goals and track my progress on my phone and computer. He's a dear, dear man.
LOL, it took surgery for him to finally 'hear' me tho!!

So you KNOW the guys are reading and just not commenting! lol. I would say
"Less cushion for the pushin' " I don't think you have a medical issue.

I was a 46/44 C. After the first 50 pounds I was down to a B. now I'm in a 36 C (with airbags!) but my understanding is that if you go down in band sometimes you have to go up in the cup. Cause I tell you my girls are like a B flat. O_o

I'm new to the forum here and just wanted to introduce myself. I'm 10 months after surgery and truly loving life. I began my journey needing to drop 98 lbs. I am down 88 lbs post surgery, not having to do any kind of pre surgery diet, so all has been lost since May 1st 2012.
I can't tell you how wonderful the experience has been. I've been very blessed in not having any complications and no problems with any foods or hunger. This has given me a real sense of FREEDOM from all things food, for the first time in my 54 years of life.
As I am reaching my personal goal weight, I thank God each day and can't wait for all the future holds.

I think I finally figured it out. These pics are down about 65 but now hitting 70! Its been 5 months and I FEEL GREAT!
Wish I would have done this years ago.
