Welcome to the boards!

That's amazing, congrats!!!

I have to agree 100 %, beer is one thing I miss sooo much! I've had a sip here and there but I would love to drink a few ice cold ones.. ahhh

Those sound amazing! I love anything garlic.

You look great girl, keep it up!!

I dont see a problem with it, I love pickles!

That's amazing, congrats!!!

Anything that goes down easily and you dont feel restriction when eating... For me they would be, chips, ice cream, chocolate, etc..

Yes I have gone through a few long plateaus! I guess it will depend on a few things, how much you eat, what you eat, how much you have to lose etc.. What I did and it broke my stall was basicly go back to basics, grilled chicken, deli meats, tuna fish, veggies, yogurt, Protein shakes, cheese, nuts, I try my best to stay away from white carbs (bread, rice, potatos) If I want some bread type stuff I have low carb wraps, or the lower carb wasa crackers.

That's amazing, congrats!!

WOOOHOOO, you go girl! Thats a awesome NSV, congrats!!

I didnt do anything special. He was over one day and I thought said, you know I have been thinking about WLS, I have insurance now and they are covering it, I've done a lot of research and Im going to go to some seminars and learn more. Thats basicly what I told him.

Wow so sorry you had to go through all that! Sounds like your doing much better though!

No, I dont think I have ever worried about losing too much! I do sometimes worry though if I will ever make it to goal, sometimes I feel I will hit a certain weight and not be able to lose anymore.

I have been with my BF for about the same ammount of time, when I first told him he was kind of shocked and was worried. He was against it at first, but I told him its my choice, I have to live in this body and explained to him everything, he came around and has supported me 100%. I am so glad I have had surgery and he is also, I can do so much more things and not get winded and be in horrible pain. P.S. Sex is so MUCH better! haha

Congratulations and good luck! Wishing you a speedy recovery I'll be keeping you in my thoughts and prayers.

I was in a tight 28/30 currently in a 18/20 depending on the brand.

I went to a local Italian restaurant last week for my grandmas birthday and noticed on their menu that they had a split fee, I never heard of one before and figured it was just that place but I guess not!

Im so glad I found out about the sleeve when I was researching WLS, for me it was the best option, like sleevedude said, if it wasnt a option I dont think I would have had WLS. From a lot of things I have read most Lap Banders have to either get the band taken out sometime down the road, or revise to another surgery, not trying to steer you in any direction, but make sure you do a lot of research. Wishing you the best of luck!

That's awesome, congrats!

I would say yes, I feel thr it helps me stay on track.
