Dee R got a reaction from TMHopkins in The thought of food makes me sick
I'm a tad over 2 years out and NEVER get hungry! I eat by the clock. There have been weekends where I totally forget to eat anything. Doesn't mean I don't "crave" things from time to time.

Dee R got a reaction from KristenLe in Having a sleeve vs. old school dieting?
For me, the surgery has been all about making those right choices. I can eat a whole lot of crap if I choose to. The surgery doesn't work on your mind. YOU have to do that part. And sometimes it takes seeing a therapist of some sort. I can say I'm NEVER hungry. There are days on the weekends where I just totally forget to eat. This surgery has made it so I CAN keep the weight off. I've never had a problem losing weight. It was all about keeping it off. I'd get bored and start back in to my old crappy habits. So, the weight would all come back and those pounds would bring their little friends too. So, only YOU know if you can handle the total lifestyle change. Good Luck to you.

Dee R reacted to Shustar in BMI 31-32
I got sleeved on Monday of this week in TJ, Mexico. I have been a diet failure since my parents staryed taking me to doctors in second grade. I am 62 and have done every diet known to man and then some! Do any of you remember the "liquid protein" diets of the mid 70's. You were only allowed 2 oz of Protein made from boiled cow hooves. I am just a giant yo yo. I have one knee replacement and the other is giving me problems. My cholesterol is over 400 and matching tryglicerides. I have a buldging disk in my low back and I still want to enjoy my life. I did not lose much during the 2 week Protein Shake plus salad w/chicken. Since I received my sleeve, I have not lost anything on the scale but know I am hugely retaining Water. I know what is going in and I know what is going out!
At 62, I am a successful business woman with a good life. I have fought and won over Ovarian Cancer and chemo. I buried my 10 year old daughter who died in bed with me. We all have out histories but I am not going out letting food whip my ass! This one I am winning!
