It was like you were writing my story! My bf of 16 years just moved in last year and I am up 25 pounds!!! Living alone I got used to my routine. I had sleeve in June 2013 and went from 380 to 175. I am now 200 pounds and I am so furious with myself I let that "honeymoon" phase of adjusting to...

Hello! First off it is great the sleeve is still working. I too have a real problem with sweets and it has contributed to 25 pounds of weight regain for me. The things I am currently trying are: food journaling (for real that self accountability factor has made me pause with some of my sweet...

Strange Weight Loss Pattern? You could be like me and have unusual weight loss cycles. I lose 5-6 pounds every two weeks. I will literally go 2 weeks with the scale not moving at all than suddenly BOOM I lose 5 or 6 pounds overnight. I don't "get it" but I will take it. ;)

I was doing pretty well the first 10 weeks but the last 2 weeks the indigestion and lava-GERD have gotten me down. The Doctor put me back on prilosec 2x a day and that helps a little, especially with the GERD but not as much with the burbling tummy feeling. I get "sick" (light headed, nausa...

It gets easier! The two weeks before surgery was mentally hard. I kept wanting other things but I knew if I just stuck with it I would make my weight target. After having the surgery I thank heaven I did the two weeks pre-op because I had already gone through all the "mental" junk and could...

I can't wait! To fly COACH again. A first class ticket costs me an entire paycheck! Also how about NOT needing the seatbelt extender? My sister has lived on the East coast for 7 years and I have only visited her once. I can't wait to fly out there and see her new place! Fingers crossed for...

Diet Propel I have found that Diet Propel sits really well with me. It isn't too sweet (I like the grape most) and it just hits the spot thirst wise. ;)

Blessed be! Today the diarrhea finally supsided. I have been able to increase my water intake and am still working on getting the protein up. I feel so much better!!! Thank you all for the feedback and encouragement. :o

Hello all! I made it through my Sleeve beautifully. I was blessed very little pain only moderate nausea. My biggest issue has been chronic diarrhea. It just won't stop even water sets me off. It has now been 2 weeks and I am starting to feel a little dizzy/lightheaded which I think relates to...

I made it! Surgery is cleared and I am having it Monday morning! I am ready for the changes in store. Blessed be!

I will be having surgery on June 10th we are both almost there! I ordered all my MVI's and supplements from Celebrate online. I wanted to have a three month supply of bariatric friendly chewable vitamins so it wouldn't be something I would need to think about. I got a plan MVI, Iron, and Calcium...

I weigh in on Friday! Fingers crossed I make my goal. I really thought 2 weeks on Clear Liquids and Protein Shakes would have caused more weight loss than it did....but c'est la vie I am down to the wire as always!

I am so glad I found this forum. Your stories are inspiring me to stay motivated and keep on the pre-op diet. I am finally doing it! Well as long as my last weigh in checks out (I need to get to 347). ;) I have been overweight all my life (except for the two years when I kicked butt on Weight...
