Dont beat yourself up about not exercizing either. Its gonna drop

Long, extended periods of overeating does. I'd suggest that you do a search on here for this topic. It's often been discussed and you'll find some good info. It's really hard to stretch. But that doesn't mean as time passes that the sleeve will stop you from bad food choices. It still requires discipline. I am 3 months out and can eat much more than I ever expected. If i don't fill up on Protein first, I find myself making bad food choices.

Hey Sannah,
If you send me your email address I will email you a booklet that someone had once posted on here that has a TON of smoothie and Protein shake recipes.
I would attach it here but I dont know how. If someone wants to tell me how, I will do it. If not, just let me know and I will send it to you.

Uh oh, sorry to hear you're having some complications. I gave in to my craving for soda about six weeks after I was sleeved. It tasted totally different and I felt so bloated afterwards. I decided, never again! Keep in mind, I went from drinking 4 to 5 cans of (diet) soda a day to none at all. Now, my Crystal Lite is my drink of choice.
Hang in there, it will get easier as you adjust to the new diet. When you see the results, you'll know it was all totally worth it!

Looookkkiinnnggggg gggoooood;-) .

Teally TMI...This post sounds like your husband hijacked your vertcal sleeve talk login! lol.

Before I had this surgery I was worried about loose skin and not having any muscle tone after the surgery. Well I am proud to say that I am a year out of surgery and I don’t have any loose skin. I have always lifted weights and wanted continue after I had my surgery. I am going to be honest when I got back in the gym after surgery I was extremely weak, in college I could bench about 475 lbs., when I got back in the gym I could barely bench 145 lbs. I stuck to it and now I am up to 375 lbs., I work out 4 days a week and I swim 3 say a week. I don’t run or walk because of the stress on my knees, I think once I get to my target weight I will start to run. Just recently I have noticed that I have gained 15 lbs. but my waist and my shirt size has reduced by 3 sizes. At first I was frustrated about the weight gain but I was told that I am gaining muscle mass and it is much heavier than fat. I think I am going to add more cardio to my routine so I can get to my target weight then I will continue my weight regimen. I am so glad I decided to have this surgery..it has really changed my life!!!

Im almost 7 months out. One week out of the month I dont really like to eat, 2 of the weeks I am ok with food, and then for one week (around tom) I am hungry and have cravings. You know what I do-- nothing diffrent. I still log and track and eat the same foods that I do any other day. Who cares if you have a craving? If you dont give in it is not going to kill you, right? If I want something carby and full of sugar I make a deal with myself... If I still want it in a week ...I will have it. Sometimes I have it but most often I do not. This is just what works for me. Head hunger is aweful sometimes!

I have not been sleeved yet, but I am a sweet aholic and I am hoping I will lose my taste for them. Sweets are the reason I'm fat.

You all made me laugh, so thank you! I'm only 8 days out, so I didn't indulge. Thought about it, though!
