Bona Fide Diva

Im almost 2.5 years out and I still experience the same thing.

I know this is a late response, but I'm searching out this topic. I'm 21 months out AND IT STILL HASN'T STOPPED. its SOOO loud sometimes, I frequently have to eat alone, because I'm embarrassed.

Great to "hear" from you DeeDee. You were DEFINITELY one of my inspirations on this board. Im glad to see that you are HAPPY! I think HAPPY is way more important than the number on the scale. Congrats on little Lucy...she is a DOLL!

Now that I'm donating things. I must remember to do it. I just hold them up in disgust and put em in a bag right now. Way to go Tiffy!

Great Post Tiffy!

Sounds good to me!! Im a slow loser too, and its mainly because of my choices, but Im fine with that. The shopping IS fun, but it is a challenge.

WAIT A DANG GONE MINUTE YOUR FIVE MONTHS OUT! Woot Woot! Congrats! Looks like you are well on your way. Keep up the good work.

I thought I was doing a good thing by telling people. But everything is not for everyone... So sorry you had to experience that.

C-Section was WORSE for me! #imjustsaying#

You're doing a fabulous job! You look great.

On the second day they just gave meds in the IV. Dr. A said I was doing "extremely" well on the 2nd day. I didn't feel bad at all. Good luck!~

CONGRATS!!! You have lost a whole person! Im so proud of you. You are a great inspiration as to what perseverance can do in this process. Great Job!

Congrats on your weight loss! I noticed the same thing. I used to have to take something to go to sleep and the sleep was never all that restful. Now I love it! I love MY SLEEVE!

I have tried not to be sooo hard on myself. Why?? Because I know the reasons why my weight loss has stalled and I haven't done anything to fix it. I try to remember that I have already lost 50% of my EW; good thing. But for some reason I was just for sure thinking I would be down 60 lbs in 4 months. NOT. Im only down 43. I don't exercise, I don't meet my protein and fluid goals, I drink my calories AND I graze around my TOM. I think this its self-sabotage because I have failed so many times in the past. There I said it. Tis done. Holding myself accountable: I will walk a minimum of 30 minutes a day 5x a week. I will drink one protein shake each day (ugh). I will drink one gallon of water each day. I know what needs to be done...now I have to do it!:tongue_smilie:

I agree with the other posters 1000% Dr. Aceves and his team are wonderful. I wouldnt have had it any other way AND I came all the way from MARYLAND! ALONE! :svengo:

That is fabulous news. Congrats! Im glad it sounds like a dream come true.

Definite yes! I was the same day of surgery had lost 33 lbs by week 8. Aim for the Stars !

GO GIRL! I am so proud of you. You are doing such an amazing job. I'm glad to see that you are rocking your sleeve. Its so great to KEEP seeing that it can be done...especially when you're stalling (HELP ME!!!). YES! Please post more pics. I know you'll have the vacation of a lifetime with the weight gone. GREAT JOB!

I was in a car accident a few weeks ago and was prescribed Flexeril. I hesitated to take it but after day 5 I had to. I havent had any negative effects. Does its job WELL.

I've been losing SLOWLY...I know, I know, I need to up my exercise, DEFINITELY. I also need to watch my carbs and protein. Since I have been eating "regular" foods it seems I have had this revelation that I can just eat ANYTHING :confused:...not the case. I had a bbq at my house on Mother's Day and since my birthday was the next day, they bought me a cake:sad0: My kryptonite...sheet cake. So I ate a very small square probably about an inch and it was oh so delectable....and addictive...They left the cake with me so for 4 days I was cutting just small slivers and devouring them every time I passed the dining room table. Why didnt I throw it away after the festivities? Because I think this sleeve is going to save me from myself...obviously it's not. (not to the degree I need to be saved that is). So Im 9 weeks out, this past Saturday was my 2 month mark and I had reached 210 lbs. A total of 33 lbs in 2 months. I want to beat myself in the head because I wanted to shoot for 20 each of the first two months but I didnt make it. I know I could have done better; and I know that I will. The bright side of it all is that my clothes are FALLING off of my arse! LITERALLY. I was dropping my daughter off at daycare and I leaned in to grab something off of the passenger seat and my pants were nearly on the ground. Luckily I did have on a babydoll top so nobody got a "full moon" but boy did I feel the breeze. My work clothes are WAY too big. Im wearing a size 18 today and they fit, probably how they are "supposed" to fit. I was wearing 20 and 22 pants before most days uncomfortably. Im actually shooting for 205 before the end of this third month. I'm certain if I nip this behavior, I'll get there. By the way, here is a photo of me from this weekend. (Size XL dress!) Great party!

This is so true. My honey refuses to share with me so I have to order my own meal. I have tried to order my own but I continuously get disappointed. I so badly want to go to a buffet...and he just yelled at me and said FOR WHAT!? I just wanted a big variety, but yeah how much of it am I going to eat??

I wonder why the mentality is such. I have the same issue. I want to genuinely say "thank you" when people compliment me, however I just feel guilty like "uggh; I wish it was so much more!"

Amazing! You've done a fabulous job!

I have a super snout now. I can smell EACH ingredient in a dish. Sometimes its bad; sometimes I can just ignore it. I'm 8 weeks out. I think I can smell it all because I can't eat it all. And really having no desire to eat it at all makes me want to hurl too.
