Last night I drank a whole bunch for halloween, and during the past four days or so I have gone through like almost 4 boxes of Cereal, and not the good kind.

I see people post on a support group Im in (not sure why Im in it..like...it does nothing for me but see people succeeding...yay them...)

All this surgery did for me was make me drop like 60 pounds in the matter of 6 weeks or so, and made me not handle my alcohol at ALL. So I'm THAT guy when I go to college parties. And by THAT guy, I mean the guy who is the most drunk. I dont want to be the most drunk.

I wonder if my stomach stretched all the way out? I never feel full anymore. My hair is falling out at an alarming rate, my shower/bathtub is a mess because I have like tens of dozens of hair strands just all around...

yay life.

I only read the first several posts and seriosly...

That's a great attitude. Surely you won't be reaching out for help and expecting any.....oh wait.

Encouragement works better than criticism. At least he is reaching out for help. I want to say, "hang in there." You can do this. Take one day at a time. Make positive affirmations to yourself often; "I LOVE ME; I AM GREAT; I WILL SUCCEED!" I know you are a wonderful person, and have been doing great so far. I have gone through bumpy times after this surgery, and that includes eating too many things I know I should not eat, or maybe just having literally one sip of a drink, and could not drive home. Thank God we have this community for "support and encouragement."

Firstst of all I didn't say I read the first couple I saidv several and since you are so interested in everything I post ill tell u I read most of the first... It seemed know seems like a hundred posts. I don't know why you have picked me to start stalkingng today.. but please leave me alone. And if you had read the first page of posts. Your oppinion would probably be the same. Or maybe its because you know him personally.you can't post the stuff he posted and not get a response from those of us who are recently sleeved and working our asses off. Stop following me.

Because you just got sleeved you can run around here and spout bullshit?? As far as "working your ass off" perhaps you should get up and walk it around once in awhile, it might help...

And stalking you?

Please... Don't flatter yourself.

I'm not sure why you're so bitter, but I suggest you stop taking it out on other people on this board.

Thank you. I wanted to say all that but I was too busy rolling my f**king eyes.

F**king eyes? Are those like the porn version of bedroom eyes?

I assume you're a guy so I feel comfortable saying quit being a f**king b***h. Man up and focus on what is important in life. f**k college parties and drinking beer. Why'd you bother throwing cash and time away just to eatballvthe same **** you were?

I only read the first several posts and seriosly... you are an a** who doesn't deserve this gift. Get your head out of your a**! I'm sure someone at some point told you this was a tool and not a cure all. Sounds like instead of taking advantage of your tool you are being one.

A match made in heaven, you two.

Sorry to go back to the original topic here, but beyond all of the other advice here.

If you are complaining about having to eat the cheap food, stop buying the alcohol and spend that cash to buy better quality food. It doesn't have to cost a lot to eat good, it takes thought and will power to make good decisions, like not buying bad things like cereal and alcohol.

So Laura you're saying you can (right now) physically eat a box of cereal? See I thought the whole point of the sleeve was for you to NOT be able to do that!

Unfortunately for me' date=' Im living by myself so I dont have a husband (or in this case..a wife or s/o) that can cook me food [/quote']

Sliders... Sliders are food that are so mushed that they are almost like liquid and leave the stomach fast... ( put two cups of popcorn and two Tbs of Water in a processor and see how small you can make it.). "I thought the sleeve...". NO!! You can beat the sleeve and by doing so beat yourself. The sleeve is NOT magical and automatic. You have to work at it, and the first thing is to keep your head in the game.

A good example of slider vs non-slider.

I've gone to Dunkin Donuts for their Wake-Up Wrap. It takes me about 15 minutes to eat it and I am ready to eat in 30 minutes. I make my own version using a whole grain low carb tortilla and other quality ingredients and it takes 45+ minutes to eat it and I'm extremely full/satisfied.

The main difference is the quality of the tortilla. DD is a white flour tortilla. I use a high fiber/low carb whole grain tortilla. Choose quality as often as you can and you will be more satisfied and stay that way longer.

Also, if you choose to stop drinking you may notice your sugar/carb craving increase. It will be tough but you can get through this.
