.....I'd say between my 6th and 7th month the amount and the hunger urges "up" themselves

(Pretty typical) and no it not because I didn't use my sleeve correctly and stretched it!.........

..........I can eat what seems like limitless amounts of crap food. cheese it's, sweets, chips, ..........

......I still have restriction on dense Proteins but I can definitely eat more! ........

I still measure my Protein and foods when having a meal because if I didn't I would eat more.

So yesterday when eating Turkey lunch meat I measured 3oz and 1 tablespoon of hummus but I could of eaten a lot more of that snack.< /p>

Yep, that's my experience too. I can eat a ton of crap but still have restriction on dense protein. I stick to max of three ounces of dense protein per meal so I have room for veggies and a little starch. I also still measure my foods. And I have to really watch the snacking and junk foods.

Wow,

I just read all the way through this and am amazed at the things I learned. I'm 7 months out now and yes, I'm a food addict. I've got 12 pounds to go to get to my Dr's goal weight. My Dr is a lot different from others. He believes in 3 meals a day with no Snacks. I try to make it every day BUT sometimes I just need a snack. I usually resort to tuna salad (with light mayo) or a dill pickle. I don't eat any more now than I did in the beginning. I do worry EVERY week (I weigh every Saturday) that my weight loss is going to stop because it just doesn't seem real that I'm actually going to keep losing and actually reach a goal. I try to look on the bright side of things normally. But for some reason can't wrap my head around the fact that this is working. So it's kind of a little surprise each week when I keep losing. I LOVE MY SLEEVE!!

Laura,

I enjoy this site so much. I don't have a NUT or anyone to go to exception Dr. so this is where I've gotten most of my information from. I really love this site and love all of the different opinions on things. The ONE thing that I'd like to pass along that I always taught my children when they were younger is "Concentrate on the good things in life. If you concentrate on them and think about them, you'll always have happiness in your life. If you concentrate on the negative, your negative thoughts will influence your life first". I've been through ups & downs, deaths and etc. and this outlook has helped me tremendously. I hope it helps others as well.

I can cook my a off so I'm told. It's my mothers fault. I love good food! Thyroid problems yeah but I will keep it real... It's food ADDICTION!

Oh did I mention my mom has never broken 100 pounds her entire life? I'm adopted so I've always had to use extra effort to keep my weight down.

Soooo frustrating!!!!

Love Destin!! Too cold in Jan and Feb but will be there at a resort in March. I can still only eat about 2 oz of Protein at a meal like half of a burger (ground sirloin), less than half a chicken breast, etc. Crackers go down easily.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
