I'm sure I see a very beautiful woman. The only person the loose skin bothers is you. I doubt your significant other has no problem with how you look. Keep charging...your awesome! Sent from Larry's S7

It's been one year today since I had my sleeve done. My life has changed in every aspect.
My start weight was 333.1lbs
My weight this morning was 137.8lbs
That's a total loss of 195.3lbs!!
I've also lost a total of 95 inches...I'm a size 6 now...used to be a size 30.
I have accomplished this by being very focused and strict with my eating and exercise.
I eat very low carb, and always get in my Protein, Vitamins and Water every day.
For all of you just starting out, just know that anything is possible, and if you put your mind to it, you can achieve anything!!

I have actually tried dehydrated cucumber slices. If you have a dehydrator, slice the cucumbers in about 1/8 inch rounds and put them in. When they are done, they have the crunch you are looking for, and they are far better for you than chips or crackers. That's the thing with these cravings, most of the time it's for something we shouldn't be eating. I have found that if you are creative, you can usually find some alternative and healthier. It's all about our choices. Sometimes we do slip, but this is also a learning process. A lot of us are so used to eating whatever we want and however much we want of it. This is a whole new world, and we are in this together!

Corn chips may be a trigger food. I would pass them up.
I am allowed crunchy food now. I found some lentil crackers at home goods and was able to eat a couple and stop. But if I tried corn chips that would just lead to other bad choices.
I need some carbs or I feel foggy and fatigued. I try for good carbs though.
Like I tell my 17 year old daughter when she leaves the house. " make good choices"
Good luck in your choices may they be good ones!

I was cleared by my NUT for whole wheat crackers. I was told I had to let them desolve in my mouth and limit to a couple not the whole box. I know it's hard to wait but don't eat anything crunchy until your cleared my your doctor.
Just a side note my nut wants me to have some carbs in my diet. Yours may have a different plan for you!
Good luck!

When you get cleared for crunchy veggies, get carrot chips- -the raw rounds. They are a fantastic vehicle for hummus and salads.

I sometimes think about the complications and risk but I look at my quality of life right now and believe its worth it. I cant even imagine what quality of life I will have in 5years if I dont have the surgery.

My regret is not getting it done sooner.

Definitely don't do it! Especially not with corn chips and crackers! I wasn't allowed any "crunchy" foods for three full months post-op!
Cravings are just that. Cravings. You don't have to give into them.

I use cucumbers for crackers with my tuna

Been through this before and you will go, trust me. This is what I e done and it worked. Go in the bathroom and sit down. If you can run the facet. Turn off the lights. Then relax. Focus on the flowing Water. When you start feeling like you are going to go to rush it. Push down a little to help it out if need be. You need to relax. That's the biggest thing. Good luck!

Nothing on that plate is appropriate. You need to follow the plan and listen to your body.

What part of that plate did you try to eat at 23 days out? And is a Bahama mama a cocktail? I still can't eat rice and I'm over 3 year out. And choosing not to eat Pasta and breaded shrimp keeps me at goal weight. Alcohol would have burned my stomach that early out. Are those things on your plan?

You are ready to say goodbye to bad habits Forever! She should be ashamed of herself for trying to hold you back from doing something for yourself!
