I know for my self I am a 57 F, who has tried every diet in the book and failed. It took my health to jar me awake and the Dr telling me if I didn't loose it I would be dead in seven yrs. Some times I slip up like at two am this morning I woke up and got the lat peice of pepparoni pizza ate it cold sitting in the dark. But today I have made good food choices. We have to do our best to make good choices, if we mess up get back on the horse so to speak, don't give up and throw up your hands and say oh well I screwed up I might as well anything I want. No that's what we used to do what did we go thru such a drastic surgery if we'er going to give up so easily. I know personally for my self it was a hard desicion to make, and I know that I will enviably screw up and eat something I shouldn't eat but we are only human and we'er going to make mistakes. The sleeve can only help so far we have to make the best choices that we can make.

Thanks RJ I have just recently come to terms about it this summer as I was sitting in the Physcologist office we talked about it, I never told my parents about it or anyone I just stuffed it down deep with food to comfort me and as a buffer against men noticing me. It has caused problems with my husband because after we had our children I lost iinterest in our sex life . He must really love me because he's never cheated on me. I finally told him and he was finally understanding about the situation and never pressures me any more I hope as the New Year progresses I will become more interested . I want to see about us going to a couples counseler to help us work thu it together.

I leave behind the 69plus weight that I lost. The pain I endured from being mosleted when I was 7 yrs., old. I blamed my self amd punished myself, with food, if a man noticed me when I wad on a diet I would immediately start stuffing my mouthuntil I would regain everything I'd lost plus more. I now know and belive I was a innecent child who was violated in one of the worst ways possible by a family member . It was not my fault, I was not to blame so I go into this new year with a lighter heart and a new life and continued weight loss. Happy Year Everyone !!

The last time we ate at IHop I asked if I could havean omlete off the kids meal with a small bowl of fruit and our waitress was wonderfull about it. I still had to take over half of it all home.

Wow plays like world champs you look fantastic !

If you are like me I always yoyoed,never keeping it off all ways dieting. We have to get a new mind set ad we go forward and rememder what got us to the point where we had no control over what we put in our mouths, and we had to to resort to drastic maeasures to get off the weight. I speak for myself in saying I don't want to eat the things I ate before surgery lots of things don't even sound good that I used to love to eat. I was a sweet ahoclic,I could eat a whole box of ho ho's or a bag of reeses peanutbutter cups by my self, now I don' even want them . When I go down the candy isle now nothing looks good anymore, I'm amazed at the change in me, but I love it . We made gold brick fudge for Christmas I didn't even want any of it and it's always been my favorite. I did lick the spoon one lick and it was horrible. Too sweet it was uckie so I made me some peanutbutter flour less sf Cookies using sf brown sugar they were great.

I used to be a 42dd, but as I've lost my weight my breast have shrunk. I need anew bras but I hate to buy them until I reach my goal weight. I have bought sports bras from Walmart that work preety good.

Congrats Bomb on your weight loss, can't wait untill I' m there.

I had the Scoplamine (?) patch, and overall, I didn't experience significant nausea. My pain wasn't as well managed as it could have been that first day, so I had two instances where I felt nauseated in relation to my pain climbing, but nausea is my typical response to pain. I never threw up, and the nausea never got out of control, but mentioned the nausea to the nurse both times, and a shot in my IV took care of things. After 24 hours, I didn't experience nausea anymore. In fact, the anti-nausea meds I had at home for post-op still have not been opened at almost 4 weeks out.

Just wanted to add that the vets have said that it first gets "hard" at 6 months. But to anyone who's coming up behind me timing-wise, I would say it first gets to be work after you are off liquids/mushies/soft. Because at least when you're on those you are still on a plan. I would guess that where I am now is the place that people start to slip up the most because the rules aren't quite as clear cut. 2 oz or 3 oz of Protein? What kinds of carbs? What can you eat, but more importantly what does your body respond best to? If you "get away" with something, are you the type of person who is likely to keep going back?
The problem with junk food, or even processed food is that it is so darned easy. Maybe in theory it's not really easier to eat a couple of crackers than to measure out a 1 oz portion of protein-rich food. But we didn't get to the point of WLS by making good choices before. And the big issue for me is that the liquids felt like a time out of reality, now that I'm out of them. And even though my recovery was easy physically that means I have to be extra careful now not to fall into old habits. Not portion size, but snacking/grazing.
Okay, off the soapbox now. Just my observations from the last couple of weeks back here in the world of "real" food.

Lol! That's great you're my sleeve twin!! Keep me posted on your progress. You'll be fine. Prayers up!!!

I am 5 months out, I accidentially drank from a straw and boy oh boy did it remind me not to do it again, I wad sick as a dog my stomach hurt utill I started to throw up after the third time I fianially started feeling better. No more straws for this girl not worth it. Does anyone else get cold easier than before the sleeve.

I was with family at our favorite mexican resturant, where I ordered my favorite spinach qesidia. I ate 2 small slices and in a matter of min., had to make a mad dash ti the bathroom where it was full ti throw up. I was so embarrased. So I wont be eating my favorite dish anymore.

I had my sleeve done July29,13, after surgery I had to force myself to drink the broth and jello.It took me all day just to eat half of the jello.I just wasn't hungry, now at almost 5 months out I still have to remind myself to eat, it's so different now than before I stayed hungery all the time, I hope it staysthis way for good.
