I recently discovered Choco Perfection mini Dark European chocolate bars. Each mini bar is sugar free, has 39 calories, 1g net carb, 3g Fiber and is gluten free. I love that I can have something small and portioned controlled during the holidays.

@@Treadmillwalker, that sounds good. How are you liking your new band? Haven't heard many people getting that surgery. Is it less invasive than sleeve?

I love my band. Yes, less invasive. All surgeries have the possibility of complications. In my opinion those rest on the skill of the surgeon and compliance of the patient. I went through 6 months of classes pre-surgery per insurance requirement. I worked closely with the bariatric nurse and dietician to learn about the WLS options. I chose lapband as it is adjustable and we believe I will be successful with it. It is a tool o help me in my journey. I still have to eat less, exercise more--the same as sleeve and bypass. My weightloss may be slower, but the three year average is the same for all the surgeries per my surgeon.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
