First priority is your safety, and health. You have my prayers, all of you in the path of this destruction my heart goes out to you. I have had a house fire, not a forest fire where I lost all, but the stress still takes a huge toll on your mental and physical health. If you are told to evacuate, please just go and be safe. If you have time right now, prepare to leave. Take inventory with photos, put documents in a container in your vehicles now, get extra canned food and water in your vehicle, pet supplies, make a list of where you can evacuate to and call for availibilty - all this prep will put your mind more at ease. You will be in my prayers.

10/15/17 Good Afternoon All, I've been having trouble not regressing to eat bad things since the Sonoma Wildfires started. I can't eat a lot at a time but I can snack. I'm trying to stay strong but when I get stressed its very hard to do. These fires are scary. We are still in our house but I worry about evacuating myself, my husband and our 3 cats a lot. It makes me want to eat. Any suggestions on willpower?

Omg that’s awesome news I am happy for you.

I get crazy rumblings late at night that feel like hunger pangs, I asked my team if it was acid and if I should up my omeprazole. They told me that it’s more likely bile reflux and to suck on a slice of lemon.

Did you start out with exercise, are you still doing it? When did weight loss slow down. So you must be struggling, or is there another reason you think you should have had the bypass (acid reflux?)? Are you considering a revision now?

Do you wish you had the gastric bypass instead of the sleeve? Right now, I'm thinking I should have. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using BariatricPal mobile app

Did you reach goal? Have you been able to maintain? If you have gained any weight back please share if you can pinpoint why? For example, Did you change your eating or exercise habits... Sent from my XT1635-01 using BariatricPal mobile app

Any regrets? Would you do it again?

Congratulations on your progress! Since you've already had surgery, you might find more answers on the POST-surgery forum. That said, so many questions here revolve around the question of normalcy. If you get hungry when you stay up later, what if you went to bed earlier? Good luck!

I don't focus on calories but my food tracker (I use the free part of Lose It, works great and you can even scan barcodes) does so I see what I eat. I'm only three months out and usually in the 800-900s. I lose ounces pretty much daily. Very slow weight loss but VERY steady. I eat tons of fat apparently. I don't try to but I eat full fat everything and I see my pie chart at the end of each day I'm not stopping eating fat since I am continuously losing at a steady pace. About 35 lbs down since before pre op diet. But I was a low BMI obese person.
