I am 2.5 years out and experiencing similar symptoms. I need to call my surgeon this week. -

Quest for sure. You can go online and find coupons usually for GNC and when you partner those up with their in store sales it's a really good deal. Once time I got 17 bars for about $10.

So lately I've been having some hip discomfort. Primarily when I lay/sit down. I guess it doesn't help that I have absolutly no ass anymore and when I sit down on a hard surface I can feel my hips beneith me. Is this some big secret skinny people keep from the rest of the world?! That any hard surface is uncomfortable to sit on? LOL but I digress... I hear that your hips lose the cushion of fat and start rearranging and causes discomfort. I'm also feeling a slight burning sensation running down my left leg which I attribute to my ciatic nerve due to the hip discomfort I've been experiencing. It doesn't HURT HURT (yet) but it's more of a discomfort. Am I the only one? If not, has any of you seen a doctor about it? Excersizes or any recommendations? I will make an appoitment with my PCP but it wont be for at least another 2 weeks. Alan

Yes you will. But honestly it wont be the same. I am 11 months out and I get a craving for a coke every once in a while. I drink a little bit and I'm done. I always throw half of the 20 ounce away. With that said, I can drink beer with no problem. I also waited till I was about 6 months out to try anything carbonated.

Sleeve doubles in size after 1 year?
endless80 replied to luvzpitbullz's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
I am about 10 months out and there are times I can eat more than others. For example, the other day I ate 3/4ths of a slice of pizza where before I could only eat about half of a regular slice (if that). I'm at goal so it don't matter much. I have finally found balance. I should post plate before and afters since I'm coming up on my 1 year soon. -
-
Well today I officially hit goal weight. 135 pounds lost and it took me 9 months and 20 days. I thought I'd be more emotional than I am about it but I'm not. I'm not sure how I feel about it actually.

That's amazing, I understand not knowing how to feel. some days I feel like I'm saying goodbye to an old friend who treated me horribly in the end. My addiction and self sabotage kept me oddly safe. Now that I'm free I find my thinking about it has changed and ask myself why and how. I'm finally free of the addiction that kept me at bay. Be proud and celebrate you!

Been almost three years since my surgery
endless80 replied to royboy's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
So let me get this straight. You came here to brag that you've lost weight by eating as unhealthy as you can? Congrats on the weight loss but your story is hardly an inspiration to anyone. -

questions for my plant based friends
endless80 replied to zsnaani's topic in Vegetarian or Vegan Eating
I am a Vegetarian and have been for the last 5 week or so. In thee last 5 weeks I have lost over 15 pounds which was much quicker than the weight loss I experienced when I wasn't a Vegetarian (besides when I first got the sleeve done last September). Now I'm 2 pounds from goal and I feel like this is THE BEST decision for me. And before anyone jumps on the Protein bandwagon, I get plenty of it. I feel great and I am doing my best to contribute to a better environment for the planet and my body. Eating meat is completely unnecessary in todays world. -
I was just given a basic EKG for my heart, it took all of 5 minutes and for the lungs portion I had an ex ray of my lungs and they did tests with me blowing into some machine to test my lung function. I'm an ex cigarette smoker as well so I was kind of worried about what the pulmonologist (sp?) would find but he didn't find anything. Ironically, the psychologist was the hardest one for me and that's only because she had me take a 2 hour long test to see if I was bat shit cray cray, which I wasn't. lol

Weight gain panic?
endless80 replied to jennynoblemiller's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I blame sodium intake and Water retention. Keep an eye on that. For me it would take a good 3-5 days for the water retention to subside. -
Well according to some random BMI chart I am no longer morbidly obese, I'm just Overweight now. So, yay! Also, on day 23 of my Vegetarian journey and honestly, I'm not going back to eating meat again. I feel like I've redicovered food again.

Day 8 of my 30 Day Vegetarian Challenge. Seriously, I am loving this way of eating. Plus I've lost 5 pounds in a week and I'm eating all the time. High quality, protein rich veggie based food.
-
12 more pounds till I hit my goal weight of 225. Inititally it was 230 but I still feel fatter than I should. Though I will say that this 30 day Vegetarian challenge has really been working out well for me. I'm getting plenty of protein and steadily losing weight.

Oh sorry I didn't realize you already did. lol
