Breaking a bad habit is really hard. In order to be successful with a new stomach we all must break old habit. I have been a grazer my whole life. I can remember as a kid how I was forced to sit at the dinner table for hours until I finished all my food. The rules of the sleeve limits you to three meals a day which has been painful for me. While at work I'm fine but at home has been more challenging. Ive started blending crystal light and ice in a blending and eating with a spoon to satisfy my need to graze.

What habit has been the hardest for you to break and how did you cope with making the change?

Am trying to quit smoking for my surgery and for my overall health. I have found that the e-cigarette has been really helpful. It has less nicotine than the patch or the gum, and I can transition from the low nicotine to no nicotine at 10 days out (3 more days) - I thought that this would be the hardest thing I will ever do - but I think the sleeve will be harder

      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! 😞
