No game

Congrats on the year! You look perfect!

Wow that sucks.... Bummer.

I wasn't sure if you really wanted me to look it up or not, but I couldn't find it sorry, but it sounds promising.

That would drive me crazy too! I never thought about that? That's why you were trying to weigh it! Sometimes I can be dumb as a stick

I'm glad you are still going to go through with it. I would hate for you to do the mother guilt thing that so many of us have done! You can't truly know how the sleeve works until you've lived with it for awhile. But it might be good for her to see what it's like for mom. And lol, yes kids move on at lighting speed! "You gotta love em" the center sounds like a good start. I'm glad you are seeking other options and answers. Do they have therapists there I know I keep mentioning cognitive therapy but its really important I think and will go hand in hand with surgery or not.

Of course.... Of course....common sense, yes, I wasn't insinuating that you thought the sleeve came with a brain But the surgery does not automatically make your brain change, and we are talking about a child here that has not gone to a nutritionist yet or a therapist that deals in disordered eating.,, It's kinda putting the cart before the horse so to speak. And statistics for the sleeve success rate for losing and keeping it off? Not as rosy as I'd like them to be... To the OP, you said something a few posts back about putting it off once before and you would do it again?? Does that mean that you would not do it if she doesn't?? I hope not because it would be so hard to have two of you recouping at once #1 and you can really pave the way for her and get an idea for what she will be in for afterwards? Is it guilt that you won't do it alone without her?

OMG!! I didn't even see this one!!! Helps us make better decisions?? Unless you got a sleeve that jumps out of your stomach and slaps that crap out of your hands, no it doesn't. Yes when your in the first couple of months it's hard to eat anything. But get 6 months out? All bets are off! And quite frankly it's easier to eat junk (slider) foods because they go down so easy and you don't get discomfort from them. So you can easily eat around the sleeve. Yes do check out the vets posts sometime..

That's ok, no need to apologize! But patience and trust the process. you have lost 70 or 80 pounds in 6 months??

They sell liquid stevia here! I just ordered 3 bottles

Oh and good luck to girls fasting today!

I think your right about that thread getting to me Leeann... I just ate Breakfast so I'm feeling better! Butter is always talking about Fiber one so I had my first bowl of Cereal since surgery! It was heaven!

Last week alone you lost 10 pounds?! And now you've only lost 2 this week?? I..... Ummm... You.... What the..... Oh never mind I can't even form a productive thought on this one.

I'm not much help because I've never heard of Krogers But I buy plain Greek yogurt and put my own sweetener in it and frozen blueberries. Perhaps you can find a plain regular yogurt and do the same until you get your flavors back?

I know it sounds weird because I was morbidly obese, but I did not keep that stuff in the house. I think that's part of the reason my children are fit. I am a special kind of fat person. You would never catch me buying anything thing like little Debbie's or ice cream because I was to "embarrassed" of what others might think! Not to say that it never happened once in a while chips or cookies might make their way in by my husband, should he want a rare "treat" for him or the kids. I was a diet coke fiend but never allowed them to drink it.. My daughter would say she couldn't wait till she was 18 so she could buy one! I cooked healthy foods but I stuffed and binged at night alone.. It really is up to the parents to make those shopping and cooking choices. And a good start is stop buying the crap.

Girls the bouncing is on going for me!! June start date.. And it's bouncing all over.. The trend is down but SLOWLY.. I'm up a pound just now to 163 but I started at 171. Last night was hard I wanted mass amounts of food so bad. Not really hunger as much as wanting the comfort of food. I didn't do it but by the time I went to bed I had a Headache and still have it this morning. Regular day today but I'll try to not go crazy

Yes by example... This is a post of yours I put up but then took down, I'm putting it up again because I think you are lying to yourself about how hard she has tried, if you eat this way, so does she... Keep the the stuff out of the house!

Really unless you are planning on using it (and they are great don't get me wrong) past the purée stage they are not worth it... Purée stage is so short lived unless you have major disposable income.. I bought a magic bullet and was able to purée my chicken in it just fine... Like I said a vita-mix is awesome if you have uses for it beyond purée

Ok came in at 519 today.. OMG it was so hard!! And I still have the evening to look forward to. 0_o

Yes, that is one of the perks of being rich. True love waiting around every corner... Or should i say on every corner.
