I had GERD before the sleeve. It didn't bother me much at all. It is worse now. I take a PPI every day, and that keeps it under control.

I've tried Shirataki noodles too. I think they smell bad and have an odd texture. Have you tried spaghetti squash? Zucchini noodles are good too.

I was a 35 BMI. I have lost almost 60 lbs, and I couldn't be happier

Week 1 weigh in 143.1

I just started CrossFit. I was already found Zumba and Power Yoga. It's amazing how much yoga has toned my arms and core.

Starting weight 144 Goal weight 135

I'm 5'2", and I weighed 200. I have lost 60 lbs. I do have loose skin on my upper arms and around my belly. I'm 54, so I think if I was younger the arms might not have been as bad. I will say that as I started working out more, the arm flaps got better.

Keep some quest bars or already made up Premier Protein shakes in your desk at work for days when you are too rushed to make your lunch.

I was sleeved 6 months ago exactly. Started at 202. Now I weigh 144. I'm 5'2". I had multiple co-morbidities. Now I take no meds whatsoever. Best decision I ever made

You look in the mirror at gym class and don't realize the person you see is you!

Also in the midst of hair loss! I wear a lot of wide headbands. I'm at goal. Down a total of 60 lbs. I'm off all of my diabetes meds. Couldn't be happier!

Try to walk as much as you can. It helps with the gas.

Happy Thanksgiving! Take it easy! I'm waving from Framingham, Ma.

Try different things. Find something you love. I do Zumba, yoga and walking. I hate weight lifting and the elliptical. I'm gonna try x-country skiing this winter.

Good luck!
