My addiction to chocolate and sweets has stalled my weightloss journey. I am trying to figure out what I can do as well. I am really struggling.

You look fabulous!

My greatest fear. I have pretty much fallen off the wagon. I crave sweets and although I have eating restrictions, I am always hungry in my head. I have only lost 45 pounds since 11/5 and fluctuate between 167 - 170. Very hard

@phatpheet I feel a tightness right before I get full. Some days I’m great getting my Water in & other days it’s tough. Keep a water bottle with you!

I feel bloated to & was sleeved 11/5

I’m not sure if I’m doing purée correctly. I had mashed potatoes & gravy’s& egg salad. I smashed the egg salad good but it wasn’t runny purée. Am I ok? I was sleeved on 11/5

I’m not sure if I am doing purée correctly

I suggest you sleep n a recliner it make a way rod of difference

You got this!!

Drink sitting up or standing up. It goes down easier

I was sleeved one week ago on Monday. The recliner has been my best friend & so easy!

I was sleeved on 11/5 If you have a recliner I suggest that you use it. It has been a lifesaver

I’m 1 week out

I am having surgery on Monday 11/5/18. Only preop is liquid diet today and magnesium citrate. I ate Japanese food for dinner last night and pizza for lunch. Friday I shared a steak with my husband & 2 glasses of wine. I am freaked out because I have had a lingering cough for 2 weeks that has not gone away. Probably allergies. But afraid of pain from coughing post op. AND I have a fatty liver.

I am freaking out. I lost 11 pounds and gained 5 back. Surgery tomorrow.

Cheating is going to stop the surgery?

I have made it pretty public to all that I plan to have it. Most people are against it. Some of their stories scare me but I’m still moving forward as I’m praying about it. It’s not a quick fix & taking Vitamins for the rest of my life doesn’t sound appealing but I have tried to do it on my own & it’s just not that easy.

Hi Nenes78 Thank you for the information. Did you have much pain? How long were you off work?

I have my appointment today to meet with the PA at Kaiser before enrolling in the Options Program. If I am approved I will be starting on August 2nd. I am kind of scared. I would love to hear success stories from others who went through Kaiser.
