I was sleeved on 10/26/15. Started the program at 280 I'm at 180 now. Surgery day I was at 222. Feeling amazing.

1 step further....... When you can fit comfortably in the rides at amusements parks

When a regular sized bath towel wraps around you WITHOUT any gaps! That has to be the best feeling. I realized this last night when I got out of the shower.
I even wrapped it past the gap about 7 or 8 inches. HOW FREAKING AMAZING!!!

When you cross your legs under the table or kick your heels up on the dashboard without thinking...

When you lay on your side and you can feel your knee bones rub together for the first time and it feels weird so you put a pillow between your legs.

You can answer, "Either is fine with me.", when asked, "Would you like a table or a booth?"

Your old belt now goes 1 1/2 times around your waist.

I'm new and I just got my surgery date - 10/27/15.

I am in Galveston

Smoking 4 days post op. No issues! No munchies!

I believe you guys but I can't chime in since I'm against against anything that alters your mind, although that would make me a hypocrite since I've been on a type of runner's euphoria since my surgery, and I'm addicted to this weight training I'm doing so I guess things that are mind altering can also cause addiction........ And I've had alcohol a couple of times since surgery, mostly wine, so who am I to judge.......
Hope you know I posted this to make people smile, and realize that we are all different for a reason, how can we even judge others after what some of us have been through???? food for thought

I Just tried this today, had to mix milk into it cause it was a little sweet. But it satisfied my chocolate wants. No dumping thankfully!

I quit drinking all juices when I made the decision to lose weight.
The closest thing to juice that I'll occasionally have is Chic-Fil-A's Diet Lemonade.

Yes and baby wipes for the hospital!! They come in handy for a fresh feeling after having volcanic eruptions and expelling of gas from your rear end. Never trust a fart to be just a fart.

Have you looked into the ThinkThin bars? I know they're gluten free. I'm not sure about nuts though. I was doing a monthly order of them through Amazon, but stopped it until August since I'm not on regular food again yet. I would make sure no matter what you do that you chew thoroughly and make sure you don't overdo it.

I had rny on 10/26 and I find that if I drink cold Water it hurts a lot. So, I've been having room temperature water and when I drink Protein Drinks, I sip at first until the drink has warmed up some and then I can drink normally. Still having difficulty eating very much real food although I ate some roasted turkey breast yesterday and I think it went well.

I found that my nutritionist was very helpful. But you had to ask the right questions.

Something that has helped me is Kroger has Carbmaster chocolate milk. It helps if I get the rare desire for a taste of something sweet without killing me on carbs or calories and one cup has 11 grams of Protein.

Marijuana is medicinal, harmless and, if anything will probably support healing. People fearing the munchies are non-smokers. Like anything else, it's what you make of it. Marijuana does not force you to eat, and it isn't addictive.

BTW, I'm glad to hear that at least some of the folks who are smoking marijuana post-op aren't seeing their weight loss efforts hampered by their marijuana use.
For those who are offended by responsible marijuana smokers, get ready to be offended a lot more. I predict that recreational use of marijuana will soon be legalized nationally -- and sooner than you expect.

I have been partaking since 2 weeks post op. And up to two weeks before the surgery. I lost 50 pounds preop, while smoking and 50 post op, while smoking.
I normally have a treat planned for my evening snack, the no sugar added fudgecicles or sugar free dark chocolate pudding, so I plan for possible munchies, most times I dont notice munchies though, depends on the strain of marijuana. Hope that helps.
