Oh yeah, def no bun! Too much!!

I agree with Lipstick Lady... full sugar Powerade or Gatorade. Thats all I drank right after surgery because water and CL just made me sick. So I got uber dehydrated and constipated. Once I got a few of those in me I felt a lot better... get some Gatorade and call the doc...

I am five months out and have had them off the grill several times. I can only eat one of course lol... but yes. They go down pretty easily for me. I can pretty much eat anything except for eggs... eggs are very iffy for me...

Thanks guys!! I hope I can be an inspiration to all the newbies on here. It has its ups and downs but so far its worth it!

Stevia is by far the worst lol... Truvia is quite nasty as well.

Ive come to realize that the only artificial sweetner I like is Sweet n Low. Everything else has a bolder aftertaste thats yucky to me, especially Splenda. I was just wondering which one you all prefer??

Fp, I rode the Kracken at Sea World! It was awesome! & I realized that 54 pounds ago, I wouldnt have fit!

I had a BLAST on my 2 part vacation! I ate SO many carbs, drank PLENTY of cocktails, ate LOTS of sugar, exercised 0 times, didn't lose an ounce, but I didn't gain either! I danced the night away and rode a roller coaster for the first time in over 10 years. Love my sleeve! Back to reality now though lol. Now I'm back home and ready to get back in the gym!

Im officially 3 months out as of the 20th and yesterday my scale weighed me at 288.8. I was 349 day of surgery so I couldnt be happier with my sleeve and my new way of life. We are about to leave and go on vacay for 2 weeks (home to visit family and drop the kiddos off with my mom, cruise to the Bahamas, couple days in Orlando, and then back to GA for the 4th) and Im feeling so confident and more sure of myself with every pound lost. Im working out the most I have my whole life! I actually packed workout clothes for my vacay! Im super excited for all my summer trips (Miami next month as well as high school reunion) and Im just feeling so good about life. In the back of my mind I still feel like its not gonna last but thats just years of self defeatist attitude I still need to shake. This sleeve was my saving grace! Loving my sleeve!!!

Tonight I went to thd gym intending to do a routine workout (35 min elliptical & some resistance machines) when one of the girls who works there kept badgering me about Zumba class. So I was all 'I'll think about it while Im on the elliptical.' I didn't want to go because I was scared I wouldnt be able to finish the whole hour. After my 35 min on the elliptical were up I grudgingly went to look at the Zumba class. Not only did I look, I participated and FINISHED the class!!! Wouldnt have been able to do that 55 + pounds ago!!! Loving my sleeve!!!!

I had one of those days today and Im almost 3 months out. Loving my sleeve tho!

Yes! I did as well!! I think it was anasthesia as well! I used Neutrogena cream cleanser and Clearasil cleansing pads twice a day and moisturized with Neutrogena moisturizer at night... It went away around week 6...

Sleeved March 20th! SW: 349 CW: 294 55 pounds gone forever!!!
