I needed new pants after losing approximately 30% of my excess weight. I've stuck with the same tops, I'm trying to only buy one or two new clothing items for each size since I'm down another size every other month or so.

You would have to be very careful with frozen margaritas because they tend to be loaded with sugar. Some people can get sick from too much sugar and the loads of sugar combined with the alcohol might be too much.

I think it would be cool to have some kind of feature where we can rate the different products that you decide to sell. This could eliminate the need for all of the forums about "what's your favorite Protein shake" and "what Vitamins do you use".

Search the forums for ketosis. There are a bunch of forums about this. Hope this helps.

I eat a bit of dark chocolate or some of a double chocolate Quest bar when I have a crazing for something sweet.

Why don't you consider asking him what he wants to do?

I would highly recommend against stockpiling anything. Any Protein Shake I tolerated pre op I hated post op and I've heard this happens to a lot of people. Keep this in mind before you spend a bunch of money.

Well...that thought had crossed my mind too. lol

Hi Everyone! I usually don't do much topic starting, but I thought I would share. One of the things I wondered about pre-sleeve is if I was going to be successful. I was the world's WORST dieter. I was even worse with sticking to anything long term. The sleeve has changed my life 100% for the better. Granted, there have been some adjustments that have to be made (like new allergic reactions to foods etc), but I wouldn't change this. I was walking in the mall last weekend and walked by Victoria's Secret. I have never purchased any bras (or anything matter of fact) from in there, my chest was just too big. I thought, what the heck, lemme check it out. I need new bras anyway (semi-annual sale, extra 25% COME ON!!). Let me start by saying I was a 42DD (even a 44DD at times this time last year), so I was a little apprehensive. I still think of myself as big (that still is taking some time to adjust to). I walked out of the store with a 34DDD and a 36DD, And they were sexy bras (too bad I am the only one that sees them lol)! I skipped all the way to the car! Woohoo!! I finally cut up my Torrid credit card (plus size store), and paid off the bill. Victoria's Secret here I come! I've gone from a tight 20, to a size 8/10, size medium/large shirts. The only thing that hasn't changed are my feet.....still an 11, but now I don't have to get wide width calves!
I never thought I would have this opportunity!
Thanks for reading, and have a FABULOUS day!

This might sound weird but I found that just smelling a food I really wanted helped. I kept craving Peanut Butter so I would smell it and it made me feel better. Granted, this could have the opposite result and make you want food more... But I figured I'd let you know what worked for me.

Quest bars are the best. My favorite flavors are strawberry cheesecake and double chocolate. You can order a variety pack off of Amazon and try all the different flavors before ordering a whole case.
I also eat the Quest Protein chips. 21 g of Protein, 5 g of carbs and no sugar. They don't taste like "real" chips but I like them way more than any Protein shake I ever tried. My favorite flavor is the cheddar.

Ask your doctor about Carafate. To be taken before NSAIDs

Well it's been 3 months since my surgery. A lot has changed obviously. The sleeve is a great tool, it's worked wonders for me so far. It's allowed me to make clear decisions about my health and diet choices. I'm working out around 4-5 times a week (30min weight lifting and 20min of cardio). I feel like my mental state is returning to normal. Those first few weeks of caloric deficit really alter your mental state.
I've had some ups and downs. I lost my brother I was close to on December 5th. He had diabetes, high blood pressure, sleep apnea, etc. I was following his path in life. He was so proud of me for getting the surgery. He said I hope I can get it one day too. He died of a heart attack at the young age of 49. If I had not of had the surgery before they I would been in a completely different state now.
I made it through the holidays. It was different not gorging on food,but honestly it felt so much better this way. I have clarity now I didn't have before. I enjoyed family more without focusing on food.
Overall at work my mind is clearer and sharper. Just this week I returned to joking nature.
I'm down about 70lbs. I would like to lose another 60. I start p90x next week and am looking forward to that. I tried to focus more on building muscle and not just losing weight. I feel so much better.
See yall in 3 more months!

Jay Robb brand is pretty good.

I slept on a recliner for about 10 days. My significant other moves a lot so I was worried about him hitting my sore spots in his sleep. Even after the 10 days I put pillows between us to avoid any nighttime collisions haha

I am about 5 months out and my dr said I should be aiming for 1100 calories a day. As a side note, I'm eating a significant amount less than that and have lost about 70% of my excess weight so it's possible he has tailored this number calories to my specific situation. I have trouble getting the calories in consistently.
