Is that I keep having to microwave my food because it's getting cold!!! I eat so slowly and the food just doesn't stay warm! Ok, it's not really a problem, but it's the only problem I am having so far! And you know what's not a problem???? Seeing the numbers on the scale get smaller and smaller! I LOVE MY BAND!!!!!!

But don't forget, you are supposed to only eat for 20 mins. If it takes you longer, you should stop! :rolleyes:

Yes, clothing is an issue. Just bought a pair of 42 jeans at the end of September and already too big for me. At least I am only spending $20 at Walmart and not $50 or $60 through a Big&Tall or Catalog store. :)

I used to feel bad about throwing food away but it has become part of life. I try to cook only what I plan to eat but sometimes the band has other ideas.

Yeah, usually I can stay right around that 20 minute mark. I have a four year old and a two year old, so many times I have to be the hot dog cutter, more ketchup getter, or milk filler upper.....so sometimes i go a little over. I do the best I can! I think I would be eating cold food even if I didn't have the band :P

Congrats on your sweet spot. You may not need a fill looks like you've hit the spot already.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
