Trying StichFix-- everyone in my office does it, but it only serves sizes 0-14.

I drank about 3 months after-- not a lot, but I felt 100% normal. I had one Rum and Diet Coke at a wedding and then last week I had a small margarita. I haven't had anything I couldn't tolerate like other people so I say use your cues. One drink will not ruin your weight loss efforts and for me has helped me feel like I am changing my lifestyle rather than being on this 1 year diet and then the gate open after a year.
I think you have to know your slippery slope foods/drinks. For me I can't eat chips and ice cream because I can eat a lot with my sleeve... but alcohol--nah, just one every month works with my life just fine.

Being able to wear more than just yoga pants to all my kids activities on the weekends
Looking 33 and not 45 (I am 33 and don't look it because of my weight).
Traveling to other countries with confidence

For me it was changing up my routine. I was in a stall at 240 for about a week and a half. I was tracking every day and getting in my Water, Protein and 600-800 calories-- but I wasn't losing. This past weekend I went out of town and did not track, didn't follow my established food routine and was convinced I would gain weight. In fact, I lost 5 lbs in two days.
That works for me, but honestly, it could have just been time for my body to drop that weight.
I am 2 months post surgery.

I actually really struggle with telling the difference between too far and just full. I feel like I go from empty to full very quickly and have trouble feeling just satisfied.

I would say that there have been a few times where it feels like my chest is tight and I assume that means I went too far. I actually try to measure 1/4 cups and keep to that amount (I am 2 months out) so I don't go too far.

I also have not read all the threads because gosh it started in 2013.. but I will say that when I was in my teens and 20's (I am 34 now) I used to think I didn't eat a lot. I would always say, "genetics, slow metabolism, big boned." The reality was, I did eat a lot and just didn't recognize it. I noticed it when I started dating my husband--his sisters and mom are healthy weights. I would hate being with them because they ate so little and didn't even need to eat three meals a day, let alone 3 meals and 3 Snacks (like I had convinced myself I should be doing for my health). I once went on a vacation with them and ordered a "normal restaurant" meal and realized they would just grab an orange and maybe a cheese stick for lunch.

So needless to say, it took me until I was about 30 to realize that I was actually overeating. I was surrounded by people who ate like I did so I didn't notice it. Yes,I do think my genetics didn't help and we all know the people who seem to eat and eat and eat and never gain, but it was living in another world/culture that made me realize that I just ate more than other people. I do believe now even with my rough genes that if I had eaten less my whole life I would not be a size 2, but probably wouldn't also be morbidly obese.
After being sleeved for 1.5 months I feel for the first time that I am eating like my husband's sisters and mom.

My surgery was 3/15-- so about 3 weeks ago and I have lost 20 lbs. since surgery

I will say that right now I have a pretty strong sleeve (3 weeks out) and think I could eat more than my diet allows. I am only on soft foods and stick religiously to my diet, however I don't seem to have trouble with different foods like other people do at this stage so I wonder if he just has a really strong sleeve.
Now before surgery at a pre-opt appointment I asked my surgeon if anyone of his patients have ever died from the surgery and he said he only lost one patient after gastric bypass. He said the day she was released from the hospital she drove through McDonalds and ate a big mac. After that I have been too scared to even consider cheating.

I know initially my husband was having a hard time adjusting to me eating different things then the family. So when I was on a liquid diet I would prep an entire dinner for him and the kids and he would feel awkward and hated it. So he started to just get himself something either from fast food or frozen pizza so I didn't have to cook a big meal like I used to do. I eventually said to him that I thought his eating was getting worse because I wasn't cooking healthy meals anymore.
I am still on soft foods so I make my own meals still and when I started that phase I asked him if he would go on weight watchers while I did this. One reason being that no one but him knows I had the surgery and if we lost weight together it would be an easier sell to friends and family. He agreed and we both have been tracking our food via My Fitness Pal together--we just eat different things.

I could lose weight, but could never keep it off. I lost 100 lbs on my own when I was 26 years old and now at 33 I put that all back on again. I noticed early in life that I could not control my portions like other people. I was always hungry even though I was losing weight.
So I wish I would have had the surgery when I was younger even though I thought I could do it on my own-- I just couldn't keep it off.
I have been sleeved for 2 weeks now and I am so thrilled. Every time I think of eating some of my old favorites I
1. have the sleeve to restrict the amount or 2. realize that I won't make my Protein goal if eat/drink that.

I couldn't be more pleased with my decision to have it done even though I have lost weight on my own and do know how to do it. I finally feel like I have a normal persons appetite.
