  1. Current weight 210 Goal weight 185 Thanks for taking over
  2. I haven't had a chance to weigh til today. 214! I haven't been below 218 in over ten years
  3. 218. Looks like I might reach that goal soon. So excited. I haven't been this low in fifteen years
  4. 221. Getting closer and closer to goal
  5. Totally made my day. I hadn't even thought about it like this. Thanks Bea
  6. I am only just beginning but this was one of my first questions for the dietician. She told me not to eat bigger meals but to just add one more meal when I'm ready for maintenance
  7. 225. . Five more to mini goal
  8. Me too. Costumes always make me so upset. The sizing on those things never work right. I usually get frustrated and give up or sew my own This year I plan on trying lots of them on at the store
  9. I actually tried on a pair of shorts I bought two summers ago that were so tight I only wore them once. Two months ago I couldn't zip them. Tonight I put them on and had extra room. ????????
  10. Because it makes me wish I had had my surgery six months earlier Oh well. There's always next summer
  11. My doctor told me that is a common misconception. Dumping is when your body reacts to a quick change in your sugar levels so it "dumps" insulin. This causes increased heartbeat, dizziness, and a general bad feeling. It can last for up to an hour. I had not heard high fat causes this as well. I am feeling better now
  12. Feel like I am having the symptoms of dumping but all I ate was a few pieces of very tender fajita meat, refrained Beans and cheese? My chest is pounding, I feel lightheaded and just weird. I wanna go puke I thought this only happened with sweets
  13. This has been my experience as well. People that know me know I've struggled and yoyoed for years. They are just glad I've found a way to hopefully keep it off.
  14. 230 today. Didn't get a chance to weigh yesterday Only one pound in a week and a half? That's frustrating
  15. I have issues with taste and getting too full
  16. Like others I have had both and I can't see doing them at the same time. I actually think my hysterectomy recovery was worse than sleeve. I hope they keep you in several days to a week with pain pump. I will definitely pray for a quick recovery for you. Will you have plenty of help once you get home?
  17. This sounds just like my story. I'll be four weeks tomorrow and yesterday was the first time I felt like going and doing all day. So I guess it eventually gets better. I'm just hoping I can get in the gym this week and exercise for more time. I've just gotten worn out so quickly every time I've been
  18. My doc says the same. However I've learned that if I take a stool softener and get things moving, the pain goes away until the next time things get blocked up. It's worth a try
  19. Not to be too nosy but have you had a BM? I get a similar pain when constipated
  20. I was told no fresh fruit chunks for several weeks after. But this sounds good. If you find any good uses
  21. Right! I was told to stay around four ounces.
  22. I have been using them but I'm only three weeks out so I can't tell if they help or not. As far as taste, they're a little tart but not too bad
  23. I'm in. Current 231. Goal 215
  24. i know what ya mean. I jst realized I'm already 1/3 to goal. I'm gonna have to go down a size in clothes as well. I went to my daughter's recital Sunday and my jeans were falling off.
