I had my surgery on Monday, October 15th. Are there others who had the same surgery date? I'd like to know how you're doing. I had been doing great, but today was rough...mostly mentally... and I can't figure out the feelings in my gut. How are you doing? Sleeve date: Oct. 15.Sent from my Samsung Galaxy

I have been stress eating like crazy & all the rules. So annoyed with myself. How Do you all deal with stress? Sleeve date: Oct. 15. HW: 315; SW: 283; CW: 215; GW: 160

How's it going? Were you able to stop drinking coke? Sleeve date: Oct. 15. HW: 315; SW: 283; CW: 215; GW: 160

Today I reached my goal of losing 100 pounds. Now the next goal is to get below 200 pounds. Eventually, I'll reach my total goal of 160 pounds. It's very exciting. Sleeve date: Oct. 15. HW: 315; SW: 283; CW: 215; GW: 160

Have you gone back to basics? When I hit a stall, I go back to liquids & increase my protein intake. I also go back to no carbs. It could also be that your body has hit starvation mode. If that's the case, you have to increase your calorie intake. What does your NUT say? Sleeve date: Oct. 15. HW: 315; SW: 283; CW: 219; GW: 150

Yes! Happy sleeversary! We've come a long way! I hope everyone is doing well. If not, it's ok. Let us know if you need support. Sleeve date: Oct. 15. HW: 315; SW: 283; CW: 219; GW: 150

4 pounds away from losing 100 pounds. How is everyone doing? Sleeve date: Oct. 15. HW: 315; SW: 283; CW: 219; GW: 150

I had always thought I didn't want children either. I married at 41 and then I thought that I would have a child and i wanted one at that point. But then cancer struck and I was told I couldn't have children. Now I regret that I didn't have one earlier, but still it wasn't the right decision at that time. It's just too bad that when it became the right decision, it was impossible. People say that I can adopt, but I don't want to. I've come to terms with the fact that I won't have children and I'm enjoying my freedom. Sleeve date: Oct. 15. HW: 315; SW: 283; CW: 225; GW: 150

I'm 44 and had surgery Oct. 15, 2012. I'm nearly a size 16 again & really am amazed. I'm a newlywed and would like to have my wedding photos redone when I reach goal. I was married in 2010 (first marriage & no children). I struggle with stress eating and am trying to use exercise as a stress reliever instead of food. I'm not always successful but I'm working on it. So far, it's been relatively easy, but I know it will get harder especially if I don't get my emotional eating under complete control. Protein shakes help and keeping track at mfp. It's really hard to imagine what it will be like at a healthy BMI...I can't wait! Sleeve date: Oct. 15. HW: 315; SW: 283; CW: 228

I have picked up some old bad habits, too. I'm trying to fight them. When I avoid bad habits, I lose more. I keep going back to basics & that helps. If we stay focused, we can do it. Sleeve date: Oct. 15. HW: 315; SW: 283; CW: 228

Good for you! I hope it goes quickly for you! Sleeve date: Oct. 15. HW: 315; SW: 283; CW: 228

Good for you! I've got 68 pounds to go... unless I decide on a lower goal. I would love to be 145, but my doc says that's unrealistic. He says 160 is better. We'll see. Sleeve date: Oct. 15. HW: 315; SW: 283; CW: 228

Yes! Better sag than fat! Sleeve date: Oct. 15. HW: 315; SW: 283; CW: 230

Thank you! I have been discouraged because it's slowing down, but I just keep plugging along and hoping it works. Goal is still so far away, but I guess it's closer than it was! Sleeve date: Oct. 15. HW: 315; SW: 283; CW: 230

How did the Dr visit go? How are you doing? Sleeve date: Oct. 15. HW: 315; SW: 283; CW: 230

You look great! Good for you! Sleeve date: Oct. 15. HW: 315; SW: 283; CW: 230

I get that, too. I have a slight restriction in my sleeve & if I eat too fast or too much, I get that pain. I have also experienced it with eating carbs. I think gall bladder pain will stick around more consistently. Kidney stones will give you back pain that radiates to the front...pretty low in the abdomen. That's just what I have experienced. I'm not on expert. Sleeve date: Oct. 15. HW: 315; SW: 283; CW: 230

Call him. If you're not comfortable talking to him, maybe talk to your nutritionist. Sleeve date: Oct. 15. HW: 315; SW: 283; CW: 230
