Wow, you wrote my story lol I am 1.3 yr out. I lost 70 but gained 20 back. I need to get it together too. Have you tried the Premier chocolate Protein Shakes? I luv them n they give me my chocolate fix. You can add Peanut Butter Protein Powder to them too and omg it's good. Hang in there [emoji1303][emoji1303][emoji1303]

Hello. Everyone one!!! I'm almost at my one year sleeved anniversary and when I started out I was doing great. I lost maybe about 70 pounds. To make this long story short I've gained about 10 back. I know what I've done right (and wrong for that matter) but on of my biggest issues is sweets. I have one mean sweet tooth. I'm addicted to chocolate...... I've tired the healthier route and going to The Vitamin Shoppe to get substitutes but it's not the same. I'm scared that I'll gain it all back. I feel a bit helpless at times. Having the surgery made me really realize that it's not just about nourishment. food was a comfort zone for many things in my life.

Me too, I am 1.3 yrs out and having a hard time. I have gained 20 pounds argh. I was on steroids which accounts for some of it but I have been making bad food choices. I am going to do the five day liquid diet to get back in track. And get my butt back to the gym. I feel so much better when I do even if it's just the treadmill to start. Come on we can do it [emoji1303][emoji1303][emoji1303]

You look so beautiful and very comfy in your new skin. Congrats

I understand what your saying, I am a little nervous of that too. I have never had any kind of surgery before so I am not sure how it will effect me, I guess everybody is different. My sister gets sick from it ????

Curlychics I actually already have my surgery date, they were so sure I would be approved the went a head and scheduled it ????

Woo hoo I called my insurance company and I have been approved for surgery. I cheated and called myself, I will have to confess when my Dr's office calls me to tell me lol lol oh well, a girls gotta do what she's gotta do lol

AliMac, do you go to a support group in Manteca?

I told my boss and a couple co-workers, one who has had gastric by pass. My boss is amazing and he has been so accommodating with all my Dr. Appts (I had to do the 6 mos diet plan). Even with the time off after, I was asking for one week and he said take two. I don't know how I got so lucky, I have worked for other managers that I wouldn't have told of the specific procedure , because she would have blabbed it all over, so I can understand where some of you are coming from. I feel very blessed to have him as a boss and another gastric person to share with, she has already been very helpful.

Congrats, that is exciting...
