I'm in a nice hotel and on vacation. I've been going out to eat for every meal and living it up a little, but the sleeve is still working and I'm not overeating at all.

A little demonstration of how this works:

Breakfast:

Ordered: cheese and mushroom omelet and an english muffin:

Ate four bites of omelet and one bite of english muffin

Water

Walk around museum, someone orders fried clam strips, I have one.

More water, Sobe LIfewater. When we get back to the room I have a Protein wafer bar.

More water.

Two ounces of cheese and four crackers.

Dinner:

Hot tea

Ordered: Outrageous appetizer, specialty small plate entree, flourless chocolate cake.

Ate:

One bite of appetizer

1/2 small entree

1 bite of flourless chocolate cake

back at the hotel, somebody orders nachos, I have a little more of that later, maybe six loaded chips.

So I got through the day fine, had fun, ate what was there, and probably ate about 900 calories. I'm not sick, my stomach doesn't feel overstuffed, I had plenty of energy. Can you believe anyone could be served a piece of flourless chocolate cake and eat ONE bite?

I know I could not. One bite and it would be all over. I would eat it til I got sick.

:). I know, I'm not really "working" anything. This is easy. What's weird is watching *everybody else* and thinking good lord, where are you putting all that?

You are amazing. I can't even imagine eating like that on a vacation yet, but I love that the sleeve is working for you and that is totally a way of life now.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
