I eat 5 little meals a day most days. I just keep the calories and carbs down.

Congrats! Thats so cool and best of luck in the coming year.

Welcome! You are in the right place at the right time.

I have tried a few of these and they can be really good. Im not a fan of spaghetti squash, and find that radishes work pretty well for the hash browns, just dry them really well first. YOu can use zuccini or eggplant for the pizza crust too... bake first until a little dry...then add other ingredients.

I was told I was getting a catheter at the last minute. They put it in when you are out, and I could hardly feel it when it was in. When they took it out I could hardly feel it. They want to measure liquid in and liquid out. It was not horrible at all.I would not consider it any kind of a dear breaker.

4 years! well congrats, and Its nice to hear you have done so well.

Do you take a PPI? Some here have continued to take them long term. You do have to take Calcium citrate and sub lingual vit B12 if you do this...

sounds yum!

http://www.elements4health.com/new-information-on-proteins-that-regulate-body-temperature-metabolism-and-weight-gain.html This is an very interesting study! Removal of the ghrelin receptors might be better than just reducing ghrelin for losing weight....

good job!

My doc told me that 32-38 are all on the small end, and the size does not make that much difference. How we use it makes all the difference. He said the bougie (sp?) is just a guide for the staples and the final sleeve can end up loose or tighter with overstitching.... don't get hung up in the bougie size. His opinion is people who get hung upon the bougie are just looking for an excuse for not doing the other work that needs to be done...that the sleeve is never going to do all the work needed no mater what size it is. I don't know if I entirely agree, but he is the expert.

I feel like Im eating all the time too. But such small amounts it really is not that much. My doc said shoot for three meals and two Snacks, and I guess that is about what Im doing. Congrats!

I just made myself a soy chai latte this morning using a chai masala spices I bought in an Indian grocery... yum! one cup unsweetened soy milk 1/2 cup Water one decaf black tea bag. 1 packet of stevia 1 level tspoon of masala bring all to boil except soy, add soy and heat till hot, pour into cup and drink.

You might appreciate the laxative effect of the sorbitol after you start eating more proteins.

A battle of wills with the little stomach! There is no way you can stay the same weight forever eating so little, it will come off, hang in there.

I put the phone by where ever I was landed. Nothing like having to get up and down to answer the phone the first couple of days!

I have been oked for swallowing pills after 2 weeks, before then I used a little bit of pudding or applesauce... then ate another bite without the meds after to clear the taste.

Only 28 pounds in three weeks? I wonder if I made the right decision? Are you kidding? Get a grip, that is FANTASTIC. Have you ever lost that much weight doing anything else? The last time I was on weight watchers it took me two years to lose 25 pounds.....

I always suspected I would have to remove my brain to really lose my hunger....

The body retains water for all kinds of reasons. No doubt you are not gaining fat. Just hang in there... Its going to be a bumpy ride! My body is doing the same ind of thing.

here is the other exray shot to compare with...

Ask your Dr or Nut about the problems with acid reflux and vomiting. The sleeve can increase this...

Early out it helps keep us from getting ulcers.

Cool! I lived in India for a while, there are some great different recipes for this stuff, some very delicious.

Fantastic! You look so much younger!
