Hello guys, I am 4.5 months post op and I still have a problem with eating too fast at times, I just wanted to suggest if you are pre-op try practicing eating slowly now so that you can get used to eat and newbies please continue to eat slow, I said all of this because eating too fast can literally mess up your whole day, I'm speaking from experience. I ran to the store on my lunch break so I didn't have much time left to eat and I was all tuned up for my smoked salmon, 7 multigrain crackers and 5 grapes...I ate a few bites so fast, all of a sudden a feeling came over me, the food was just sitting at the top of my stomach I started feeling bad, lost my whole appetite and still feeling pretty crappy. I KNOW BETTER but it happens. I wanted to share this so that you all do not have to experience this Hopefully I will feel better by dinner time. I wish you guys all the best on your journeys.

WOW! you're almost at goal, it's been 4 1/2 months. You are killing it!

Hi there, Yes you have been through a lot! I hope things has gotten better for you. I've never heard of anyone getting resleeved but it's great if the doctors can do that especially if your stomach has stretched back. When are you having surgery?

Kathy I am so so sorry for your loss, vent away honey ((Hugs))

Yes it's normal, I lost 3 lbs last month and I am very happy with that. Do i wish it was a little more yeah but I'll take it. In the end it all adds up to goal. I have thyroid issues so I really didn't expect to lose this amount of weight so quickly. Please don't get discouraged, you are doing good!

Hi there..why don't you try the intermittant fasting...a lot of folks are doing it on this site and everywhere, Doctor Oz had a segment on his show about how great it is, you can google him. There is a thread that you can follow to guide you along on this site. Just do a search in the search section. Try not to focus so much on the number because if you do not get to that exact number then you will be dissapointed with yourself. You may lose 15-20 and that's still great and you will be closer to goal. The woman that started the thread, I think that she's at goal and doing very well, you could ask her questions and she'll be happy to explain it to you. I wish you all the best. You can do it!! ?

You look great hun and doing awesome! I love your eclectic style ? You're rocking that fur coat!

Yasss!! LOL what a coincidence the earrings and really I don't wear them often. Thank you so much! I don't miss that double chin ?

I was at my heaviest in 2014, I always had a smile on my face and felt somewhat confident for the most but deep down inside I wasn’t happy with my overall health because I knew it was only going to get worse if I didn’t make some serious changes. I finally took back control of my life on 8/29/18. WLS One of the best decisions that I’ve made for myself and going forward. ?

You look great hun!

Hi there, congratulations on your upcoming surgery! If you do a search on "what to take to the hospital" you will find a lot of helpful post and experiences from folks that's had surgery. I wish you the best ?

I took 2 1/2 weeks but wish I had taken longer, just for more rest. I went back on puree stage so that worked for me.
