Smooth Move Tea always works. I was the same way.

I regretted it at first too Tiff. I never got really sick to the point of vomitting but I was truly over the dumping, reflux, and nausea. I still cry sometimes because I cant fully enjoy a meal. The 3 bites and done is ridiculous. The only good part is I dont have to take any more medications, no needles, and Im down 94 lbs from my heaviest weight (40 lbs from surgery weight). I also know how it is with your girlfriends. I havent been out with mine since the surgery. We always met and had girls nights over food and drinks and I cant enjoy either right now[emoji26]. Im praying that it gets easier for you.

Honesty and total jackass is an understatement. Just like honesty no one told you to respond but you did anyway. Like I get what you are saying but you didn't have to be so rude about it. Reasons like this is why people like me are struggling mentally. I'm not looking for you to baby me but if you're gonna respond at least not be a jerk about it.

I am pleased to say that I have reached my goal, yaaayyy. My goal weight was 150 lbs but I weighed myself this morning and I am 149.8 lbs. This has been a hard journey mentally but for me( many of you know I have gone thru a divorce as well ). My starting weight was 242lbs, day of surgery 12/5/16 I was 219 lbs, and 8 months later I am 149.8 lbs. 7 lbs away from almost losing 100 lbs. I feel so good right now about myself. Not just because of how I look but how I feel inside. I'm starting to love me flaws and all. I am working on the mental side of things with prayer and supplication. God is a healer and I'm trusting him to keep me. I thank all of you on this site for your support , it has been epic on this journey. I so truly appreciate you. The encouragement I received from total strangers has far outweighed what I received from family and friends. Thank you again. Hope u like the pics.

You look great! Thats why we are not meant to fit in someone else's box! We are uniquely made! God Bless!!

About year ago, I had my gastric sleeve surgery. Its been a crazy time learning exactly how my body interacts with different foods. The truth is, everyone is different, and you just have to learn for yourself what will work for you. Im not perfect. I eat pizza from time to time. Ive blown it out a weekend or 2, or 3. But then I review everything my doctor told me, and I bounce back. From the start I told my doctor that I never wanted to be fat again, I did not want to lose hair and I didn't want loose skin. Well, I did lose some hair, quite a bit at first. It hasn't come back, but is has stopped falling out... I think. I was advised that no matter what, if I lose weight fast, I will have loose skin. So Ive been determined to lose weight as slow as possible. I take in more calories and food than is probably recommended, but I also work out. I started out close to 300 pounds. Today I'm about 206. I lost a bulk in the first month, then about 50 plus pounds over the next 10 months. A part of me wanted to lose much more per month, but I also did not have any loose skin, which was a (superficial) goal. My goal is to get down to around 170-180. Ive been trying to amp it up a bit in the Gym to accomplish that. The most satisfying part of my weight loss journey has been all the energy I have to spend on my 2 young sons and my beautiful wife. I just turned 39, and I feel better than I ever have, ( with the exception of a little knee tendonitis) I sometimes forget my Vitamins, and occasionally fall back into bad eating habits, but instead of gaining 30 pounds like before, the scale my move just a few ticks up, enough to put me into panic mode and get on track. Im off all my meds, no more high blood pressure, no high cholesterol, no acid reflux ( just finsteride for hair loss). I look forward to the next year and continuing toward my goal. I wish everyone well, and hope all those who are just beginning the process great success!

I drank some decaffeinated coffee and went for a walk and at last, a BM!!

Does anyone ever feel so thirsty you just want to gulp down that water bottle? ! I've been sipping on a Water bottle for about 30 minutes and almost finished it and STILL have that craving of chugging it down.

They moved mine to tomorrow on Thursday... Week early since two other ladies rescheduled.
Took 2 Add to dulcalax per md. Goodness. everything i'm doing is. Last time i'll be doing this. Last time i'll be doing this. LOL!! Went through my Fluffy girl clothes. got rid of two bags of clothes that already don't fit me. Going to forward to my bff's daughter. then whataver she doesn't want will donate.

I was sleeved yesterday (6/6/17) at 0930.
Waking up from the anesthesia was rough, and I had so much pain in my shoulders (I guess it's from the gas?). It was a long day, no fluids by mouth, and trying to walk.
Today was better. Had my leak test this morning, and results were perfect, so started sipping Water and walking! I felt like a different person! Was allowed chicken broth for lunch, and Jello. Oh my goodness, jello has never tasted so good
Minimal pain meds at this time, and looking forward to going home tomorrow!
