Wish i would have know hoiw much healthier and happier I would be after surgery! I should have done this years ago! My only advice is this is a journey, just like a trip plan for a journey. It is only a tool that enables you to get heathy. The rest is up to you in how you control the head games, Your addiction to food, You current way of life.
Seems weird but you get used to no eating anymore and focus on more important things in life

WTF - you would think management would Not put up with that! I did not keep mine a secret but many here have Search this site and you will see many threads about this.

The above Nailed it! But i wish i would have had my workshop in order before getting this tool called the sleeve. The head games are bumps in the road

You are covered its a pre existing condition, I actually checked on this

I really do not miss food, I eat healthy high end foods but in small amounts/ For me i was addicted to food and carbs - I am very lucky I never get hungry so I have to eat for fuel not for hunger.
To me getting healthy is way ahead of eating tons of food

Get a flush kit online and flush it out! Trust me it will be the best decision you made

Water weight fluctuates. That is why i have posted here a million times - Do not weigh yourself every day you will end up in a Rubber room with a jacket the buckles in the back!
I weighed in twice a month 1st and 15th of every month.

Keep it up - I have seen many kick habits. You got this and focus on anything else that keeps you from addiction, I am a guy and casual relationships, Tv, and my dog help me combat some of the demons. I would rather be with a friend fooling around then eat a Twinkie. My dog has me moving so he keeps me busy and off the junk food, Tv bores me so i fall asleep - while asleep no eating.
There are ways to mind screw yourself from the demons.

Fully agree
Getting healthy and feeling good is the goal not digits on a scale

Ok I disagree with most of this! However I am not at this state or time frame!
My view is your head is doing this, How the heck can you work so hard to get healthy and let some addictions take you back down the rode you were on! Bottom line STOP EATING. There has to be something else you can do besides snake and swallow. May be harsh but my view is simple we all work to hard to get to the finish line!
It may happen to me but I never want to go thru this again and No way a bag of Fritos or candy is worth it to me.
My view This WLS Head games are the demon that haunts us all

Yes for sure as a trained chef my taste and smell has really changed. Some foods i loved just do nothing anymore however things i was no really found of I know like

The above post nailed it - and I am the same size as you and i agree dropping below 210 for me is to frail.
Good luck on the other issues Congrads on beating the Cancer b***h

Common Stay on Course this is a Journey not a sprint!
Stop weighing yourself or you will end up in a rubber room with a special jacket the buckles in the back! You are getting healthy and it is not consistent weight lose, Your body is going to decide not the scale.
Follow the plan and focus on getting healthy - Not the numbers of pounds or Pounds per day -
It will happen Trust me I and the counter on the bottom right of this page are the proof

Oh man, I hate threads like this. Not because of anything y'all are doing or saying, but because of the constant reminder of what we've been dealt with this coronavirus sh*t...it's just rough to see the amount of hard times we are having. I feel bad for the people whose surgery got cancelled and their life put on hold. I feel bad for us that have had the surgery and are struggling for one reason or another. It's like I can feel all y'alls pain. I'm glad we have this forum, and we have GOT to be here for each other. Hang in there, I love you all.

I agree and as a alcoholic i fully understand the disease, I will say i have never been able to kick the habit and most likely never will. I would add caution to the fact that the desire to drink after WLS is much more stronger post OP. I have been drinking since 16 years old and Done severe damage toll my body from it. I can function all day and get my company going but come 5 oclock its few drinks and off to bed. Post Op is even worse with the desire daily to drink, so the buyer beware is Dead On!

You need to really up them I do not think bottled pre made is strong eneogh the tablets on Amazon for runners work great and easy to use

Nice job FYI i love Top gun movie!

I currently have it also, Problem is I had high blood pressure and had heart surgery. So if i take my heart meds and jump up I am going down. One thing i have found that helps is electrolytes, I use the tablets that go in a bottle of Water. If you keep them high it seems to minimize the dizzy. I have been told this will pass once you get healthy, but for me I move slow and get up slow.

As a insane grilling machine, I Smoke shoulders and briskets all the time. Need more information. Did you inject it with a anything? What Rub did you use? Did you trim off the fat or most of it prior to pulling it?
Or did you do the big NO NO .......... Did you buy a pan of it pre made from Sams or Cosco? If pre made read the label has so many chemicals and enhancers in it!
You should be fine Cooking your own shoulder or but and the light season or very light sugar free Sauce
