My surgeon said no carbonated beverages ever. I’m a year out and haven’t had any and I don’t plan to ever.

Wow you look great!! And you still have your boobs. Mine disappeared!

This is what I put on to go to the grocery store earlier today. It's actually a swimsuit coverup...but its the only tank-like summer dress I own that fits me at the moment (...and the "arm up" pose is to camouflage my batwing 😉... I should walk around with my arms up all day 😂 )

Super cute!! Where did you get it?!
I have bat wings and I try to camaflouge them every chance I get too!! You look amazing!!

Good luck and congrats!!

I am one year out this month. No regrets. Normal to feel nervous. Try to focus on all the reasons you have chosen to do this and what your goals are! You got this!! Let us know when you can how everything went!

I am 12 mos post op this Monday! One year! It’s been great!
I do have a lot of bruising now. Prob has a lot to do w not getting in all the Vitamins that I should. I have been really good w taking vitamins until about a month or two ago. Back on track now w those. But I was bruising w taking vitamins too.

I didn’t know about the issues you were having either. I am glad you are doing so well!!
You are a bright light on this forum

Mine didn’t give me NEVER foods either. But you have to make good choices if you want to see the weight go down quicker. In my opinion and experience Bad choices will lead to slow weight loss and stalls. I still give into cravings myself but know that when I do it’s only a few bites and then I need to be extra diligent with my other meals of the day. It’s a marathon not a sprint. I think it takes time for your brain to change bad habits. You can do it. Once you see your body changing I think it’ll def motivate you. I am 11 mos out and do not regret it for a second. Hang in there. We are all here on this to support one another and encourage eachother. When you’re feeling down get online and there are so many of us on here to try and help boost you up! Good luck and you can do this😊💪🏻👍🏻

You look great! Sorry to hear you have to have another surgery but glad that it is going to fix what is going wrong.
Good part is you have done this pre op diet before so you know what to expect and do. You got this!!!🙌🏻💪🏻🙌🏻

Almost a year out in a couple weeks! Can’t believe it! No regrets..best thing I ever did for MYSELF!!
Congrats on a year since surgery summer sleevers!!🥳

Boyfriend's Breakfast

Gluten free deep dish pancake (Almond Coconut) w/ maple glazed pineapples

That looks so yummy!!! Did y’all use a Syrup over it?

candy is the one thing I haven’t been able to totally give up. I don’t eat a ton but do have a little each day.
I did switch from anything sweet n low to truvia. It’s pretty good. I put it in my coffee, my plain yogurt.

Wishing you well for today!! Congrats and the beginning of your new life!

I get nauseous when I get “hungry” (still don’t get really hungry and I’m 11 mos pos op). But if I don’t eat I get that sick to my stomach feeling.

I use Women’s One a Day, five calcium citrate (per my dr), Biotin, B12(every other day )

Thank you for doing this thread. I just posted asking about Maintenance and didn’t see this before I did.

Wish I had looked a little more before posting.....answered my own question. I saw a posting on Maintenance after I posted this. A lot of my questions answered.

How do you know when you’re in Maintenance? For example...if you hit your goal weight but your body keeps losing weight is it not maintenance? Is it only maintenance when you stop losing weight for a while...and if so how long is considered a while?

Yum!! Love watermelon and haven’t ever seen it cut this way!!
I haven’t had much luck on watermelon lately. Not very red or sweet inside. How do y’all all pick yours out? I was told to knock on it and get one w the biggest white/yellow spot on it-bc supposedly that means it sat ripening more

I also weigh myself everyday even though I know I shouldn't. It seems like I always lose 2 pounds then gain 1 then lose 2 lol

I weigh myself everyday too. I feel like it helps me keep myself in check...seeing it go up or seeing it go down. I don’t think there is anything wrong w doing that everyday. We all want to keep the weight off so I think if that helps do that then I’m going to weigh everyday. 😊

Congrats! You have to feel awesome!

Thank you and yes I do!! Always thought I’d never get to my goal until I had this surgery. I’m still a work in progress. Daily challenges and reminding myself that this is a marathon not a sprint and that keeping these new lifestyle habits

My sleeve was 7/23/18
Started at 231 now I’m 138!!! Goal is 135!!!

My husband and I always split a meal. We order sides that are usually low carb-broccoli green beans-) now a days the way restaurants make plates splitting is the most sensible thing and we still have tons Of left overs.
