  1. I have found a great way to stop my evening snacking. Teeth whitening trays! Two birds, one stone.

      Hi @Hiraeth

      I know there are some places you can order then from with the whitening stuff, but I ended up getting mine from my dentist when I had some bridges put in that are too white for my teeth, lol. I had them make me trays with the molds they used for my bridges and then they ordered me the whitening stuff. It was only a couple hundred bucks. I mean, higher than like Crest white strips, but dental quality and it works better. It does take quite a few times to see results still, and I have to 'touch up' every so often and order more gel. I'm a coffee drinker and smoked for many years, so my teeth were pretty stained.

      Thanks so much! I got mine from antibiotics as a child and having braces for over 2 years. Hopefully, the trays will whiten the teeth around the spots to help it match, lol. Thankfully, my dentist offered her patients free whitening for life. (Talk about good business, lol.) Also, congratulations on quitting smoking. Proud of you! :)

  2. Fun fact. I've just been informed that 75% of people on this site don't like me. Here's to my 25% peeps!

  3. I just discovered something. I actually DO get full from some slider foods, especially crackers. So there's that.

      No, and it's actually a serving size a lot of the time so easy to track too.

      Old serving size used to be the box.

      Can you whistle after six crackers? "Old serving size used to be the box" -- and a Sara Lee cake was two servings, one for you and one for me. Alternately, one for now and one for later.

  4. Fun fact: Wine is apparently now on the post op liquid diet! Who knew?

  5. Apparently, you cannot have a differing opinion anymore without someone getting their fee fees hurt.

  6. Where are people getting the idea that the weight just falls off and you're thin in a month??

      Sure would be nice if the site used hyperlinks to vets truthful posts than to link to some uneeded bariatric food product for sale.......but I understand it is what it is.....a business. We gotta bring the vets back. The vets only forum could be an orgy of knowledge.......looking forward to the days when I can post there......and join the orgy.

      In the beginning you can lose weight eating basically anything because the restriction from healing makes it impossible for you to eat a lot, unless you choke down that 24 ounce steak and blame your doctor. Then once you are 6-12 months out, if you haven't learned to eat properly. BOOM, stalls, regain, nothing. I'm where @Dub is. I have to be super diligent to keep losing now. Sleeve honeymoon is over, going to have to do hand to hand combat with these last 30-50 pounds.
