I do apoligize to anyone because i mistakely put my information under the lap band and it should be under the gastric sleeve. My name is Sherry and I had the lap band done in 2010 and had to have it removed in January 2011 because of complications. So then i did some more research on the Gastric Sleeve and i had that done on April 16 2013 went from 310 lbs to my current weight of 236 and right know i am looking for people that i can chat with to hear there story and motiviation and helpful information that i may be able to use. Looking for snack ideas there was one i found is to put sliced bananas in the freezer and use Peanut Butter on them i heard it is very good. It has been 8 months since my surgery and i feel really great and i am able to chase after my four wonderful grandchildren and do many things that i was not able to do went from a size 26/28 to a size 18/20 and i am working to get down to maybe a size 16. Went to my doctors for the 6 month checkup and he was nopt happy that i only lost 12 pounds in 3 months and i had explained to him that i found out that i have capulitis in both of my feet and it is very painful to even walk on them but i started again on my treadmill day before yesterday and i am doing 6 laps starting out at speed 2.5 and ending at speed 3.0 and will be doing that for awhile and then gradually adding to that, I also have an exercise bike to but i really like my treadmill the best. If anyone out there has any recipes or snack ideas please let me know

Hi Sherry my name is Kathy, i has the gastric bypass two years ago and in the past 3 months have started to put weigh back on, i have gotten seriously worried, and I am starting on the Pouch

Test diet which brings me back to the original diet, liquid for two days then Protein Did the doctor on banana and Peanut Butter.that sounds like a hi calorie food check with him. take a look at the

5 day pouch diet, and you will start to lose again
