Oh, my! MeginNOLA, I just noticed you have gone from 306 to 186. That is awesome!!!!!! AND you live in NOLA! My baby grand, Drew, and my son and his wife live there. I try to visit at least quarterly and was there for Mardi Gras! You look great. Are you still losing?

How much weight did u lose?

You look fabulous!!!!!!! Really!!!

Terrilynndrew, that cracked me up! The soundtrack! As I lay here listening to the gentle rumbling And tumbling of my VSG. It's sorta like listening to my own "noise" machine! Lol. Sleeve4, how long since u were sleeved? I think we are close together.

I remember many people when I had my surgery stating that the anesthesia caused trapped gas in that are for a while. Have it checked out, though. Good luck Sent from my iPad using VST

So if you eat one slice of pizza, or half a sandwich or 4 oz of meat do you feel full? Because bread becomes a "slider" for many, including me, after a while. I can eat a slice of pizza too. I ate half of a BBQ sandwich yesterday for lunch and the other half for dinner. Remember, you used to eat probably TWO sandwiches without stopping before or 4-6 slices of pizza. I think yo= u probably have more restriction than you think. My Dr told me at surgery that if good choices were made total wright loss would be around 3 years

No, I don't so. ;I think it has to do with genetics. If you lost weight easily and quickly when you dieted before, I think it is the same. I always lost easily when I put my mind to it. Just keeping it off was the problem! I lost very easily and quickly and reached goal about 9 mos out. I do think you will lose MORE weight overall

Hey, you can also use any can of diet soda and make any boxed cake mix! Works perfectly! Alo a can of pumpkin. No eggs or oil required! Yummy! Sent from my iPad using VST

I am 22 mos out. At 1 year, I had reached my goal weight and lost 100 lbs.

I'm with you! Too many treats to myself. Feel sick. Ets regroup and truck on!!! Now!!!

Well, just found this thread so need updates on those who joined in January and how you are doing? I've SEEN goal, been there, held it in my hand and now have regained about 12 lbs! Yep, So I would really like to get BACK THERE and stay put! I'm not too unhappy with my size/weight since I am 5'8" and wearing 8-10 but I know I need to kick it in and re-train my habits. So here I go!!!!!!

Oh, I know! Was just poking fun and how fast you got that taken care of! I stand "on guard!" hee hee Way to go, Girlfriend!

You have scared me! Ha!!!!!! I'll try to keep my responses short. lol

Wow! Three years! That is great and 80lbs lost and not found is awesome! Here's the link the basics boot camp that LilMissDiva sent me. Might help. Good luck. The Basics Boot Camp

BIGGEST REGRET - that it wasns't available to me YEARS AGO! And that I had had the courage to do it sooner. Although, I was one of the very first my surgeon did in this area 2 years ago. Dr. Gibbs. - Little Rock, AR \ Sleeved 6/4/2010 Pre VSG - 250 Reached goal - 150 March 2011 Current - 160 ( too much junk !!) But this is a level weight for the past almost 8 mos.
