  1. I'm so sorry to hear about your husband's diagnosis. Remember that only God knows. Make sure you take care of yourself as your daughter needs you healthy, too. Pray he beats the odds and he stays with your family. He always will be with both of you!!! Prayers for healing and comfort.

    Unintended Effects of Surgery

    I'm over a year out and I may hiccup BUT my nose always starts to run. Now I know not another bite or I will be dick! Try to judge it and stop eating before my nose runs.

    Seeking Buddies 5'2" & Under

    I'm 14 months out and proud to say I'm still 5ft2in. Have lost 1/2 inch over the years. I was 65 when I had the surgery, and was 22/24 or 1x, 2x depending on the clothes. I have lost 100.5 pounds and was 125.4 yesterday.....5 pounds below my goal. Want to maintain now so that I don't go above 130. Wearing a size 8P,10p or 12 P depending on the style of pants. Medium or Large P on top. Never weighed that. Have lots of loose skin so not sure what I will do. My body is still changing though. Good luck with your journey!!

    Can you still eat in restaurants?

    When traveling I eat the egg white and white cheese out of the as sandwich, ask for side order of scrambled eggs, or Wendy's chili. I have continued to lose weight on every vacation since I had the sleeve surgery! Plan ahead and look up foods or bring things with you in a cooler.

    Just hit 125.8 today ... Almost 100 pounds. Want some wiggle room. Dr Gluck's goal was 130 but he told me at 1 year out that was just a number! Started at 225.514 months ago!

    14 months out. I have been tracking in myfitnesspal.com for over a year. I changed it to 75 grams of protein by changing it to 1200 calories. I have figured out which dishes to use for certain measurements. Hope this helps.

    Possible Stricture ahhh!

    Hopefully you will be doing better soon!!!
  18. I'm scared too! Have been tracking on myfitnesspal.com for a year and will continue just because. I also weigh every day but now with my clothes on so I have a better idea of where I am when I go to the doctor's. In the midst of buying a vacation place and know that the stress and decision making would make it really easy to gain. Hope to close and move the stuff in that we're buying for it by the middle of Feb. Lots of decisions!!! All our friends take the idea that this is vacation and they can eat the extra stuff but I'm trying to be keep on the way I have been!!

    Protein drinks

    I like Unjury strawberry and add banana and ice for a smoothie! Also! I use the chocolate flavor. Add cold coffee or milk and I like that. Just got the vanilla and that is good with pumpkin. Etcour nut gave us recipes to use with the protein. I have one a day or a pure protein choc peanut butter bar with 20 grams of protein. I still don't eat a lot so I need to substitute.
  25. I am slimiest 14 months out.. I still track all my food daily on my fitness pal .com and my exercise. I am my doctor's goal on my scale but trying to get a few pounds under as his is always heavier and of course I'm dressed. He wants me in normal BMI with some wiggle room. I actually continued to lose during the holidays but it's more difficult now. We were traveling and I didn't exercise. Water aerobics this morning ! Getting back on track!! I know this is work for me and a lifestyle change!
