Welcome back!

I stressed about gains while on vacation but came back unscathed! Now it's just about getting my head back in the game.

But you lost weight?? Show off :P

The beach sounds nice. We toured every sweltering hot place there was..,

Hey what can I say :) ....Wasn't expecting a loss...Swam in the gulf everyday, wanted to surf but the waves weren't cooperating....ran everyday...was lazy everyday...visited the tiki bar every now and again, never once worried about what i ate or didn't eat...probably the first time I went on vaca and came back lighter than when i left....also bigger news....

.....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.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
