I dont know if it's pms or what but I decided to foray into forbidden pizza land today and ate 2 slices from a large pizza! Why can I even do that?

Im only 11 weeks out and all of a sudden I feel like most of my restriction is gone. I've been eating way to much at a time lately. It's not that I'm hungry but I feel like my body needs more fuel. The loss of restriction worries me a lot though

I also had surgery 10/21 and that does not sound normal at all! Im so glad your doctor is taking this seriously and seeing you first thing in the morning. Please keep us posted.

Ahh lucky.. I can only see maybe one out of every 20 profile pics.

Btw.. im using a Samsung galaxy s3 on sprint

Awesome thanks.

Its actually really easy but I think you have to do it from the website not the app. Its easy because I continue to log in mfp and it syncs up with fitbit automatically

Sorry for posting in the wrong place but I'm glad you found it. It has been like this since the beginning. Every post with a pic, even ones that I've posted once I open the thread and look at the pic if I move out of that thread then go back to it later I can never see the pics again. It has happened on every single thread I have opened. Thanks

Well, although everyone in town was out of everything I ended up at Target where they seem to be hoarding all the fitbits! After finally seeing them in person I decided to go with the flex. It's much smaller and I like that you can change the band. Thanks for all of your input.

On my android app, once I read a thread that has pictures I can never see those pictures again. Is there a way to get around that?

Lol... funny, I didn't even realize it. That was a great thread and helped me a lot. Thanks

I didn't know there was an "official" period of time that constitutes a stall. Lol... I hope this mini baby stall doesn't last two weeks or longer. That would suck

I started a thread about this a while back and got a ton of responses. Ultimately this is the only area I have gone against my surgeon s instructions. I just couldn't get hydrated no matter how much I tried. I started drinking through a straw (against orders) and now hydration is no longer an issue. But I was cautious and started scared and slow. Now it's such a relief to drink with a straw... a comfort and I never have any problems with getting in all my liquids anymore. ***That being said, I do NOT recommended going against your surgeons orders.***

Im so impressed with all your hard work. Congratulations

Your right. All plans are different. Remember you choose your surgeon because you trust him/her. Follow your plan and don't deviate without permission from your surgeon. That plan sounds miserable but I'm sure your surgeon has a good reason for it. It'll be over before you know it. Good luck

I have no idea what your journey has been but most of the time our sleeve doesn't fail us, we fail it. That being said, you STILL have your sleeve so it's not to late to get back to basics. Start working it and remember it's a tool not a cure. Im only 11 weeks out so I don't know much about it but a lot of successful vets on here do 5:2. Maybe you could search it and get some help from some experienced vets. They probably won't be easy on you but it just might be the kick in the pants that you need. I know for me a good kick and some tough love always make me mad enough to help me help myself. Good luck

Amazing transformation

Thanks! I feel pretty great. Starting to feel pretty again. How nice!

Thanks!

Skin isn't the problem (yet). I'd rather not go straight to surgery to fix things and I am only 11 weeks out. I'm wondering what 'I' can do to help flatten things out faster in the middle

I used to get this all the time. For me it wasn't so much what time I ate but if I over ate. Hasn't happened since being sleeved because I no longer over eat.

Ok so I have posted some pics but they're almost always chest and up. I feel like I look great from the chest up and the butt and down but the middle..not so much. Mushy, lumpy and muffin-y. I still have a way to go but is there something specific that I can do to target the middle mush (other than compression garments)? I mean to really get rid of it. I used to look like the girls on my Zumba dvd's and I doubt I'll ever look like that again but I can't handle this.

Thanks, I appreciate your response. It's just weird, having such a steady loss then BAM! nothing.

So with the exception of the 3 week stall I've been rockin my sleeve! Between thanksgiving and New year's eve I lost almost 20lbs. Then I started doing Zumba and I've hit a wall. Nothing major but ill be 11 weeks post op tomorrow and I'm just wondering if the exercise has put my body into some kind of shock or if I'm heading into a stall or something. I haven't gone 5 days without losing anything since early on. With regard to stalls , (which I understand are normal), I'm curious about what's typical. I am 5'5 started at about 250lbs. Three week stall with tiny losses until about 6 weeks. Then 5 weeks of non stop awesome loss. Now stuck at 201.2-201.7 lbs. For 5 days. Just curious about your thoughts on my progress and where I should go from here. If I am heading into an actual stall, how long does it usually last at this point? Also, I am about 1 week away from TOM. Thanks
