I think my sleeve is twice the size of everyone elses. I have no problem eating. hmmm
b: Protein smoothie (1 scoop strawberry Protein powder, 8 oz Water, carbmaster yogurt, and 6 frozen strawberries)
s: stick of cheese and 4 slices of low fat turkey deli lunch meat
l: 1/4 cup of whole wheat Pasta, and about 1/2 cup of spaghetti sauce with ground turkey mixed in
s: Atkins advantage chocolate Peanut Butter cups (SO delicious!)
d: not sure but maybe leftover spaghetti or a weigth watchers meal of some sort (turkey and mashed potatoes and gravy is one of my favs . . . very easy to go down)

Hello all
Just found out Paul Wall (rapper) got the vertical sleeve. Nice to have a celebrity shed a lil' bit of light on this surgery because I know my family had never even heard of it. Here's the article.

Patrice! I am just now seeing this post - haven't been on the board that much. I too, started going up again and gained 14 lbs. Am struggling to get it off again but started going to the gymn every morning and love how it makes me feel. Haven't lost anything but I need to get the food under control too. You tend to forget how easy it is to go back to old eating habits - maybe not as much but still the wrong stuff. So now I am only at the half way mark - back up to only 50 lbs lost so have another 50 to go. Bound and determined to get there. .

Thank you guys OH SO much. I needed to hear EVERY thing that EACH of you has said. It's great to know that I have a place to go that I have been afraid to revisit . . . and get support. Even when I'm doing everything WRONG.
I will get back on track asap. Gym, and back to basics like you mentioned. Thanks so much. I feel like I do need to focus on how far I came and not give up despite being off track for the last few months.
And Irene you are truly an inspiration. You look amazing! Keep it up . . . Everyone looks really good. I'm trying to catch up on all the "updates". You guys are all very inspiring. Thanks!
I probably would have gained way more if I didn't have my sleeve. I didn't really think about that. But that's so true.

I'm sitting here thinking WOW like everyone else. Good article. Muscle weighs MORE than fat. So if we exercise and lift weights, we will lose AND gain muscle. So we'll be physically smaller but a lil heavier than what we would like.
Thanks for sharing!
