TMI? As of late I have been BAD!!! I continue to test my sleeve and tonight was the first time I wish I was bulimic. I just have these god awful hiccup - burps which doesn't bring it all up. Better wish: I wish I would get a hold of My damn self and get it together already! Out . Of. Control .

No because they only come on when I overeat. What I want is to get back the control I had after surgery

NG I think we r the same. Same day same loss.

I'm always cheating and hate myself every single time. I'm telling you- don't do it. The minute I did it was all downhill from there. I feel like I didn't deserve this surgery right now and struggle like I did before. Stay strong everyone

You guys make me feel normal. I wish I could get control of it all. I really don't get sick. Wish I did. I dot usually over eat but I tend to take more food on my plate. I also am not afraid (wish I was) to grab Halloween candy if I feel like some. P's me off. I kinda wish it was Sept 13 Again and start Over.

28.2 - Wish it was more but my fault in sure. Congrats everyone!

Normal. Keep with it. It will kick in again.

I don't know what I weigh at 8 weeks out. 2 scales and both are not accurate. I'm wondering if anyone fills their plate more than they should? Meaning: No matter what I make or order my brain STILL always takes wayyyyy more than my belly would accommodate. I actually took a picture of my food when I made tacos (no shell) and literally sat back when I sat down before I ate and thought "who am I trying to kid and WHY do I continue to do that?". Why waste food and money. Brain and belly are not on speaking terms right now

Falling off the face of the earth for a bit it seems. You all are doing awesome! I've been ridiculous when it comes to cheating. Halloween was not a good thing. I still seem to lose though? Of course I'm probably exaggerating a bit with saying how much I'm cheating- I feel like anytime I have something out of the "norm" is cheating when in reality it's not. Ah well- here's to another good week for everyone!! Ready- keep posted on your testing- thinking of you!

Well- did good all day until tonight. Hands in tr candy - Gah!

Also guilty! 3 reces peanut butter cups (throughout night) - rationalized the protein. Had a smartie. Hot dog for supper and bit on more later. Hmmmm and whatever else. Bad bad bad. And I'm not even a bit sick. Tomorrow is a new day

Me toooooo!

Wow Everyone is doing fabulous! Congrats I saw my dr this past week (6 week check up). She walked in and said I'm the ideal patient!!! NEVER have I been told that. I'm such a spaz with medical stuff so that literally made me laugh outloud. So I'm down 25 since surgery and 36 since highest weight since August 13. I was thinking that was slow and she said its exactly where she wants me to be. I always talk about this forum and others experiences and what i feel better about is that she said losing faster is greate risk for gaining back later and metabolism gets out of whack. So- I'm ok with this now. I felt bad for awhile. I also think part of feelin bad is just not believing I will lose weight. Historically I have been able to drop 30 ish pounds and Thats it. So really- I just can't wrap my head around that I will lose it. Time will tell. So nice job to all weight losses- Big and smaller. Just remember we are all on the right track and it doesn't matter when we get to finish line- because it's the journey that really counts. And to the poster who talked about the 60-70% loss of excess weight- that is accurate on an average loss. This is a tool and you have to work it. So if you're following what your doc an Nut tell you - you should be fine. I believe that percentage goes up by 10-15% when you are exercising and again- that's average . You can do this I've been advanced to general diet and to "use my head". She doesn't usually advance yet but I'm tolerating well. I asked about popcorn and she said NO POPCORN . Not yet. . Gooey and sticky inside your belly...... Have a fabulous day!

I will

You can offer your sympathy Um I will confess - I hate journaling but I really have tried many times. If I would guess I would say 800 tops. I do meet with doc this week and the NUT has been calling to do a follow up so I suppose I should return that call. It's not that I don't want to. My life - after four weeks off- has been soooo busy. But I have a couple dr apts to return to so I will get on that tomorrow. Hold me accountable . Thank you

5.5 weeks and I just ate a damn choc chip cookie. I had 5 crackers earlier too during the awesome packer game. I don't want to eat that crap yet it's here and no my family is not going to give this all up. I do so well 90% of the time. I don't have a ton of guilt either. I'm hoping this cookie makes me sick. Albeit I used to eat MANY more and my sassy brain kept telling me "one. One will not hurt you. You have to learn to eat in moderation". And with regards to my toleration of various foods- I don't over eat and have never puke. Ugh. I need support. I'm an addict.

First- thanks for the giggle I'm I'd like to say I do but I hated it before and I still do. I tried MFP an that's not working out for me. Perhaps a good old' fashion cute notebooks- yeah maybe I'll try that tomorrow.

Fellow sleeve sista- back at you. Hang in there now. I see doc on Thursday- and the NUT keeps calling to make follow up appt and I avoid it. Hmmmmm perhaps I should NOT AVOID?!? . I will call tomorrow - When do u see doc
