I'm glad I found this app!!! I read all of these great weight loss stories and I feel like a little over 50lbs lost just isn't enough for five months out. I really go through a variety of emotions, however, I am pleased these past few weeks since I've lost 8lbs in two weeks after being stalled for two months. I like the benefits of the sleeve, however I find thAt I experience what could be hyperglycemia. I eat right, drink my shakes and then around two pm I want to hit up Dunkin Donuts. Has anyone else experienced these cravings and how did u deal with it?

I look forward to spending a lot of time on this app :)

Carbs are the devil! STAY AWAY at all costs. You have been through all this, and the last thing you want is to slow your roll. Find something else yummy to fill up on...I like meat and veggies, as I am a southern chic, but surely you have something else to please you. Stay strong, and remember how much you want this. Get on here, call a friend....anything, but don't give in to the carbs. They aren't worth it. Good luck!!!!!!!!!!

I feel you....I no longer give into bad carbs, however, I do eat good carbs (whole grains, fruits, etc.) and increasing my intake of whole grains has kept me full longer and gotten rid of my afternoon donut cravings.

      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?

      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! 😞
