I have just posted some new photo's today! I have some before photo's as well on my profile :-).

Fantastic results! You should be so proud of your self :-)

I have the sleeve and love it! It's 6 months and I have lost over 5 stone, the weight has slowed down but still coming off. I have been walking every day, up until recently and now have joined a Zumba class. I have only just got the confidence to be in a class and the walking was great. You can do as much as you can manage with out feeling anyone is judging you. Those people in the class you attended are small minded and insensitive. The Zumba class I attend is very friendly with all shapes and sizes. I still walk as I have grown to love it! Good luck and don't worried about those bitches you will have the last laugh:-)

Wow you look fab :-) Go girl!

I have become addicted to this post lol. Thank you to all of you vets that take the time to share your wisdom! I fight every day with my addiction and I have to confess that I avoid posts where cheating and abuse of someone's sleeve is happening. I hate to have to admit this, but I feel I am only just able to keep myself on track. I feel I am being rather selfish not helping, but a couple of times when I have made comments, on another forum I was taken as being judgmental. I am rather a people pleaser so was horrified, when what I had said was taken as an attack. I realised that trying to help was putting me in a vulnerable position with my addiction. I was able to not revert back to old habits of binging but I had to really fight the urge. I think you vets that offer advice and give your time, whatever your style, be it straight to the point, or a softly approach, should be received as thoughtful and caring. I for one love learning from you all! As I have mentioned before therapy has made such a difference to me but reading what you vets post make me feel this is worth fighting for. PLEASE don't ever feel what you post is not valuable, beneficial, or adhered to, a novice like me would be lost without you.

I am a food addict that fights every day with my addiction! I don't think I would be able to cope without the years therapy I had for my addiction. My sleeve keeps me from being able to binge like I used to. Wilpower and the acceptance that I can never eat certain foods keeps me sane lol. I know my triggers and as of so far have managed to deal with stressful situations ect without using old habits. Unfortunately enaberlers are not always easy to avoid and they come in all maners of sneaky forms. How I deal with enaberlers is to detach my self emotionally so I can then use certain technics I have for certain situations. So far this has worked very well.

Your body is adjusting from fasting and starvation mode. It will all balance back out so try not to worry. If you stick with your plan it will work :-)

Hi, I am just wondering what I will be able to drink and looking for suggestions once I am back to drinking! Thanks for any replies :-)

The nose from my tummy is amazing lol

Low cal fruit flavoured waters non carbonated are bearable lol

I know it's hard not to panic but things will be fine just follow the programme and all will work out. Please don't worry you will do great :-)

It may be an acid attack you are having rather than hunger pains.

So sorry to hear your sad loss! It is never easy to know what to say but just being by your hubbies side and supporting him will make it so much better for him. Don't forget to look after you as well though.
