Thankyou! But not as awesome as you look! Keep up the course we can beat this!

I am still here, LIfe is just so busy I do not have time to post nor read the board like I used to. Still loving my sleeve, I did read somewhere if you are craving sugar, that is a sign you are not getting enough Protein.... not saying that is a fact, but maybe somthing to it.. Still recommending to people... and then they thank you.. Drink that Water... Loving Life!!

18 months postop and down 90 pounds. So happy with my decision- at goal for 6 months and losing a pound every month or two now. Still tracking every bite and expect to continue to all my life. Keeping it under or about 1000 calories a day to maintain which is less than I expected but this tool makes it tolerable. BEST DECISION EVER!!

I'm still here, too. Two and a half years out, maintaining for well over a year, and still so happy I had WLS. I also have had lots of plastics, and I gotta say, I'm looking and feeling better than I did in my 30s and 40s! Not so bad :)

18 months out and very glad I did it! I'm kind of stuck right now. I lost 145 pounds all together with the opti fast and surgery but have been stuck for a few months. Any suggestions on getting the weight to start coming off again? I would still like to lose 50 pounds.

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
