I know that I'm smaller but, when I go shopping I still find myself trying on my old size. Then I have to go get everything in a smaller size. This has got to STOP!!!

I always used Protein powder early on to get my Protein. Never used NF milk powder. I don't really like it, nasty stuff
For sleevers (I don't know about RnY), I think there is a different diet plan for every doctor out there. Some are low carb, some are low fat, some tell their patients not to worry about it and just get their protein in. Some people are able to manage <20 g of carbs a day. Some people shoot for a minimum of 130 g of carbs a day. It's all over the board. The important thing is to trust whoever your nut is and follow their plan. There is research to support almost any position you decide on.
For sleevers, there is no biological restriction on sugar like it is for bypass. Some sleevers will dump (I've had that pleasure on occasion) but it is not a common problem with the sleeve.

I have gone from the most hot natured person to freezing all the time. It's like my thermostat got switched

I lost the first 100-110 or so on a "moderate carb" approach. It gets harder the closer to goal so I lost that last 50-60 pretty low carb and that is where I am maintaining too.
Now that I am in maintenance, I definately have exceptions to my low carbs days, but overall it is my "lifestyle" now. For me, it works.

My pre-op dirt is going with me to the grave!
All jokes aside, my surgeon didn't require one.

Hi,
I live alone and I decided to have wls. I have backed out 3 times already because I felt like I was not ready. After numerous attempts and failures of losing on my own that I really want to do this now. Being the age I am! 57 I feel like I have been skating by with my health and can't last much longer. I know if I keep this up I will be dead in no time.
My biggest concern about this, is the fact that I live alone and I am afraid that I enjoy food too much. It is like I am living to eat and not eating to live. I know I will miss it terribly when I can't eat the way I do now. I guess it is my friend but at the same time it is my worst enemy. I realize that it makes me happy.
I do want to get this weight off once and for all before I get any older. I wish I had just went through this years ago!! I am getting therapy and seeing a dietician but I am still worried.
I just needed to give my thoughts a voice because I feel like I am alone in this, so I guess I am looking for others that feel the same.
Thank You!
