I am 38 had my surgery 4 years ago. Before surgery I lost 63 lbs, after 45, and now I'm stuck. I cannot lose for the life of me I was running a 5k 4x a week last summer and lost nothing. I am now diabetic after keeping my numbers below for 9 years. I am at a loss. I am in the middle of preparing to cut all white food, sugar and possibly go vegetarian. I am kinda sad I have to go to that extreme. I am tracking my food, carbs and sugar. I don't know what else to do...

Laser did not work for me, made the hair a little bit softer for a few weeks then came right back. I may need to look into electro!

Try wheatfreemeatfree.com love the recipes. Went gluten free/meat free for the new year and we(the whole family) are loving it!

Will do shy... but I find it goes in stages, I lose and it looks saggy then it shrinks and its fine, then I lose again.

I am on metformin and it really did help with my weight loss. The only thing is you will probably get the runs till your body gets used to it. And if I take it on an empty stomach I throw up. That may just be me from what I'm learning. But most agreed about the runs.

Lmao! Great post! Started "practicing" again at 6weeks after surgery and had no issues. Maybe as others said could be air or diet. I know a few times I almost gaged because the taste, which didn't bother me before. Sometimes there seems to be more acidity then others.

PCOS here, diabetes and fibromyalgia! I'm 9months out and sad to say my symptoms haven't changed for the pcos. I am using Minerva? (sorry bad speller) but the improvement for the fibromyalgia is amazing! That alone is worth it. I'm just hoping the diabetes goes away. I am also a slooow loser. After losing 53lbs, Sleeved 12/26/12 weight 148, current 193. Just saw my surgeon and he said everything was great and he is satisfied with the loss. So am I now.

9 months out, 105 down and mine is now starting to sag on top. Not too worried, my bestie had mommy make over(breasts, tummy tuck and lipo) and instead of lipo opted for the vaginal lift. She loves it!

Just because it's no sugar added doesn't mean there's no sugar. In those high amounts it is not good. I have not been able to find one that has low sugar. So I gave them up. You also have to be care of alcohol sugar its just as bad!

I have lived a diabetic life for years now. I guess I am just use to the flavor. I told myself this is what it tastes like and after a while it kicked in. And I am not diabetic. Mind over matter sometimes. Just adapted the life after getting gestational diabetes while pregnant. It went away but I was so used to the diet I just kept on.

My fav. when I feel like something decedent... sugar free pudding (love the cheese cake) with cool whip added in. Then flavored jello with fruit in it. Used to make it with angle food cake cut up in the pudding, but its just as good without. Almost no calories or sugar!

When you can look up baked scotch egg. Great recipe. Hard boiled egg surrounded by lean ground meat. Tons of protein. I can only eat little more than a fourth. I like the regular recipe but for my daughter I add crushed pineapple and sweet soy sauce to the meat.

This is a geat convo. Since I was sleeved it has made me stop and think what I want to eat, mainly which would be more satisfying whether it is what part or type of food. I would rather have another bite of steak or bbq (meat) than rice, pasta, or even potatoes! And my cooking which was good before is amazing now due to getting creative with seasonings and sauces!
