Walk or move whenever you can. You are worth it. Stand up at your desk. Take the longer route to the restroom. I find if I put myself first even during the frantic, busy times, I get more done and I am less prone to stress eating. I also make sure I plan my food. If I packed my food, I'm less likely to eat other stress foods. Good luck. You are worth taking care of.

Sugar Free Cherry Pineapple Monster Pops are the best!!

What helped me the most with losing weight was the psychologist and personal nutritionist. Surgery helped, but a year later, it is still the psychological and nutrition that I need to continue working on. The sleeve has helped me by reducing what I can eat, but it is not the solution. It is a valuable tool and part of the whole solution.

I wore slip on shoes and left my cell phone at home. You aren't there long and the less you bring, the easier it is to go home.

In the beginning, going out was a little tough just learning what to choose. My family was great. WE went to the habit and I would order the tuna steak all by itself, no bread or I would just order a burger patty from other fast food restaurants. Then we ventured out more. I love ordering shrimp cocktail as my meal. I will also just eat off my families plates sometimes. My husband says I'm a cheap date. I also order in to-go containers, then take my leftovers to work. Most of my friends and family have been very supportive and accommodating.

It takes a little while after surgery for your body to regulate. How often you work out depend on how you are feeling. Your surgeon will give you the go ahead to increase exercise. Until he/she does, walk. I walked as much and as often as I could. Make sure you are getting your protein and water in and the scale will start moving. Some people in the beginning of their journey have some constipation and once this is relieved, they start losing weight. I was finally cleared at 2 months to start with a physical trainer, that really got my weight loss going. Good luck to you on your journey. Don't compare yourself to others because we all lose at different rates. Take Care.

It was amazing. I had 4 tiny incisions. I only had pain meds in the hospital and then some Tylenol at home. After the first week, I was able to sleep comfortably. I was up walking the day of my surgery. Good luck to you.

Check out this doctor's website: https://www.sleeveacademy.com/store he got me back to eating healthier. Good luck!

I go out with my husband and found that ordering an appetizer is usually plenty for me. I have found shrimp cocktail or prosciutto wrapped asparagus is perfect. I can even have a glass of wine. It takes me longer to eat this than my husband takes to eat all of his food.

My doctor's office. After seeing my doctor and getting a blood test, he put in an order for a full year of B-12 injections. I just get a nurse appointment once a month and she gives me a shot. It really helps my energy levels.

I felt crappy until I got on solid food. I have also added B-12 shots. They are helping immensely.

it happens to me when I eat chicken. Chicken is plumped full of steroids and antibiotics. My doctor has told me to only eat organic chicken at it has helped.

Talk to your doctor and his nutritionist and let them know your concern. Mine was the same until I asked if I could talk to the nutritionist. The doctor said many of his patients are not fully committed and he thinks they lose more quickly when not having to think about real food. He allowed me to work with my nutritionist and truly learn what I should eat. Good luck to you.

I went through this same thing. I did everything I could do food wise, I was told to try swimming. The change in activity to swimming was a whole body workout and this got my metabolism moving again. Good luck to you.
