I had my sleeve done Aug. 27, just looking for people to chat with about how things are going.

Hi

I have been struggling my friends. I am at my goal weight of 177.(now its 168)..now i seem to be a fat out of shape person who just happened to lose 72 pounds and has a smaler stomach.I have been eating alot more junk. Funny thing i feel like junk. Felt so good mentally when i was eating better. I have a personal trainer ( no charge and a blessing) to help me get stronger. My hair is so thin, I am thankful i had the surgery but seem like im back to some bad behaviors. Still cant drink water!!! If i use crystal light it is a bit better. I guess I haven't come on here as I don't want to be negative. eating at night, eating chips....having a few cold beers. Ambarrassed.

I agree @@ProudMomof2 I hate the attention!!

Started at 245, goal is either 125 or 130, depending how I feel when I get there. Currently at 137, and down 108 pounds so either 7 or 12 pounds from goal. Currently in a size 6/8 depending on brand.

I'm thrilled with my success so far, and feeling more like a normal person about how I approach food. Struggling with body image, as I know size 6/8 is not fat, but with jiggly excess skin on the tummy, I don't feel very trim. Working on that.

Where are the pics people?? Lol

Sorry you're struggling. Try going back to basics and getting back on track! You don't want to start putting on weight again!

Me three, I HATE the attention now, weight is going great, but just leave me alone, lets talk about something other than me.... That is killing me.... The undertone is always jealousy and the more they talk and ask with every opportunity you start to see the pattern...

I was sleeved on 8/18 my HW was 264 and my current is 182 so I'm down 82lbs. It has definitely slowed down but I guess that's normal.

Today for breakfast I'm having 2 scrambled eggs. I have grilled chicken with broccoli and about 6 noodles of pastA for lunch and I brought a small container of Greek yogurt for a snack. Last night I had sushi for dinner, just three pieces and some edamame.

How's everyone doing on vitamins? Still buying those expensive "bariatric" chewables, liquids or easily dissolved? My 6 months post op labs were good and all I was taking were the bariatric multivitamins

My blood work was also good. I'm back to taking Centrum multi for over 50 and I take vitamin C and a few others

I also take Centrum but my PCP wants me to take chewables so long as I can tolerate them. She says they're just easier to digest so why not. ???? I guess... I mean they don't taste bad,& labs were good,so I'll keep buying them.
