I was sleeved on 10/2/2018 and am down 47lbs. I feel like my progress is slow but steady. I’m actually in the 250’s for the first time in YEARS! My hubby and I have a Vegas trip planned in January and my gift to myself if I’m under 250 is to go horseback riding for the first time ever. I’ve never been under the maximum weight in my adult life so I’ve always avoided doing it. I know it will be cold but I don’t care. My butt will be freezing doing something I’ve always wanted to do. I’m so excited. Now to continue this hard work. I’m about 60ish lbs from where I think I want to be, which is under 200, and it finally feels like a realistic goal! Here’s to being sexy in Vegas. To all my fellow sleevers “We’ve got this”! HW - 306 SW - 298 CW - 259 GW - none (just to be under 200) Height - 5’8 1/2

I get it with the Doritos. That’s the one food that I can NOT resist. I have decided - for me - I can NEVER eat Doritos again. Not ever. Not even one! I am thinking of Doritos like my “drug”. For the first month or two (after swearing off them forever) I thought of them every day. If that’s not addiction, I don’t know what is!! Now I’m down to thinking about them on occasion - like maybe once a week. It might be something for you to consider if you can’t control yourself around them. Now other chips? I haven’t had them yet but I know I could have a few. I’m only “addicted “ to the damn Doritos!!

For me, it's CheezIts - my gateway drug.

It seems you realize what your behavior was. That is the first step in correcting it. Remove the snacks from the house and give them to somebody else. If you have a guest at your home..give them to the guest so they are out of sight but remove them from your areas. A mistake is a mistake, we are all going to make them, but we pick back up and keep moving forward so it doesn't because a habit. You can conquer!

Good Luck! You got this! I am just starting out but consider going back to basics and starting over with the liquid phases then progress through the different stages to get yourself back on track. I am only 2 weeks and 2 days post op so I do speak from experience, but from what I see others suggest in here.

It’s super obese. I was classified as that when I started. I am very short, only 4’11”. I had never heard of it until I saw it in my medical chart. It said (super) in parentheses. My BMI was 61 and is now 42. Surgery 2 months ago. I was surprised that it was called super! Seemed so positive lol

Thanks for your response. I just ordered some and they sent me a free order of sea salted Carmel calcium chews. I'm gonna give them a try as well. Hope they are as good as they sound.[emoji4]

[emoji255] So I'm 46pds. down and I am in shock but grateful!! Live...Love...Laugh [emoji3]

Hi all. Three weeks out from being sleeved and I am having the worst pain this morning at one of my incision sites. I know it’s only three weeks but was hoping this would start to go away at this point. Did a lot of walking yesterday. Just woke up and in pain. Anyone else get the same thing?

Hello everyone. I am 11 days post op. I had my gastric sleeve done November 13. All seems well except a still a bit of discomfort swallowing and I have a moderate pain in one of my incisions and its noticeably swollen. Not hot no draining or smell. Just wondering if this is normal. I got my surgery done out of the country so I don’t really have a follow up doctor at this point. But I’m wonderinf if I need to go have this checked out ? I believe this is the incision that was used to take the stomach out because it’s the biggest one. Thank you for any help and advice.
