Who are all our August Sleevers? I am August 4th :001_wub:

I haven't had the experience of food tasting any different, but I do have far fewer cravings. And when I do have cravings, I will have a little bit of whatever it is...and that's enough. It's really pretty awesome that a little bite of something is enough. I no longer feel the need to keep eating something that tastes really good. I do struggle still with finishing what I dish out sometimes, but I'm working on it. I haven't ever eaten to the point of making myself sick like I've heard from some people, so I guess I must have a pretty good handle on it now.

That is just so weird though! It is good for me because I am losing weight but I really do not like to eat out at restaurants anymore. They give you such big portions, it looks like I did not even touch my food and the waitress is like you did not like your food? I do not want to tell her I had surgery and go through the whole ordeal with someone I do not even know.

I go to lunch with a bunch of other Air Force spouse's on Wednesdays after we go bowling. They all know about my surgery, but I get those kinds of questions asked by the servers as well.

The one thing I've done to help combat any comments from anyone is, I order an appetizer, or Soup. I've also learned to kind of "move" food around to the edge of my plate to make it appear that I've eaten more than I really have consumed. My husband, son and I go out to dinner once a week, and what we've started doing we order 2 regular meals, and I share one of them with my 11 yr old son.

I also get a to-go box at the beginning of a meal and put half of my food in there. That way I don't have to look at it, and the servers don't know how much I've eaten.

Wow, Tiffy, you're getting really close to your goal weight. Congrats to you!!

Tiffy, Thanks for the good ideas for when I go out to dinner again. I will ask for the to go box first that is a good idea. Wow! AJW is right you are almost down to your goal weight. CONGRATS! I am following in your footstep. Love my sleeve!!

Hi guys! I am doing good! No regrets. I wish the weight would come off a little faster but it is all good.

Wow, Tiffy, you're getting really close to your goal weight. Congrats to you!!

Thanks a bunch. It's finally starting to slow down this last week. I was happy to see the scale only move about 1.5lb.

Your doing great Socal with the weight lose! Keep up the good work.

Just checking in with my fellow August 2009 Sleevers.

How are all of you doing? I see a lot of tickers that I don't think have been updated.

Mine is accurate. Doing fine weight-wise. Almost at goal, but the last 14 are gonna be a bugger!

Hey there DownInSocal! I've been doing pretty well. I'm down 100 since last August and down 146 from my heaviest. All I have jto do is "eat the Protein first" and I'm full before I get to the starch.

Mine is accurate. Keep hitting plateaus about every 10 lbs, which is very frustrating. Down from Size 28 to size 18-20 depending on the brand, so I can't complain.

Welcome to "the other side". The first few weeks can be tough, but hang in there. I have not regetted my choice for a minute.:frown1:
