I had the sleeve 5 months ago and it was the best decision ever, No regrets. No looking back.

I felt the same way!!![emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]. I just don't post as much. Regardless of what forum your in, if you ask a question or comment you should get some sort of response. This is SOCIAL media....Right???! So now I'm more of a lurker[emoji102][emoji102][emoji102][emoji102].

Trust me I know the feeling

I have yet to get a response on here & to be honest I'm not sure I'm posting/messaging correctly. Is this app still active?

I couldn't agree more. I to fully intend to keep my surgery private. Just hope my wife can do the same.

I tend to follow this method. It may come as a shocker to some, but I do eat bread and drink soda. Well let me state it more accurately and clearly. I eat small amounts of breads (carbs) weekly, and I may drink a soda once in a blue moon (still very rare for me to consume carbonated beverages). Thing is, I like you, don't eat an entire loaf of bread in 72 hour time span or consume a large pizza in one sitting for lunch. Or try and finish down said pizza with a 2 liter of diet Pepsi. Its all in extremely low moderation now, which is what I needed. I needed the portion controls and the sense of feeling very full and satisfied after a few ounces of food in my tummy and not a few pounds. So I Portion Control like a mother, and I still try and follow the rule of Protein first, veggies/starches second, and carbs last if there is room to spare for them.

The trade off for this consumption of carbs from bread I do indule in, is that I have to burn off what I consume for the day in exercise. Mostly via cardio, but does include some resistance training to boot. So if I had about 80g of carbs then I know that I will need to burn off caloric equivalent of that in exercise for that day. How I do it may not work for everyone else, but it has been working for me.

I think the only thing I could suggest for anyone is that to make sure you have a good understand of the foods you are consuming into your body, as well as having a healthy relationship with food. If someone is getting over food addiction and carbs/sugars were their trigger foods then its probably best for them to avoid those things. Also talk to your doctor/nut about these things before you start consuming them if you have any questions.

Just my $0.02 worth of input here.

You may need to post in the more general parts of the forum until it gets closer to August.

Yes it is! We are here!

My addiction to food is what made me regret having the surgery. I'm just a week post op and I feel great. I'm happy. Eating my little Soups and popsicles. It's a mental battle of mind over matter. I started phase 2 where I can have fuller liquids. Made me some brown sugar cream of wheat 😐 I ate 2-3 spoonfuls and I was out. I felt like I just ate a 12oz ribeye with a loaded potato. I made a great decision for ME & my kids just my inner fat girl is screaming Whyyyyyyyy?! Wish you the best ❤️

I am working towards the gastric sleeve.
Target date of August.
I would not want bypass or lap band.
