[scaredoftheunknown 95]

That is so wonderful to only be 17 away from goal!!!!! I know you feel great!!!!

Thank you. I do feel great. But, I also feel like I'm never going to get there.

You'll get there, it may take some time...but the great thing about the sleeve is that you know that sooner or later you will reach your goal!

Congrats on your weight loss. Don't you love the sleeve?

[scaredoftheunknown 95]

I do love it. However lately I've been craving Doritos. And then my sleeve reminds me I could only have a couple.

See i find things like chips and popcorn i could eat a ton of. I ate almost a whole bag of popcorn before i realized i cant have that in the house anymore lol when we chew it down its almost to nothing so i find those things i can eat a ton more of compared to meat and veggies etc

So needless to say i try to stay away from that stuff.

sweet cravings are back

sweet cravings are back

I get a little more nosh-y than normal during my TOM. I'm trying to eat a Cutie when I want a sweet. Although, I have had chocolate. And I'm okay with that. One or two pieces is awesome and I don't have to eat them all. Like I said, right before my TOM, I get noshy. I found myself in the kitchen last night because I "wanted something". I wasn't hungry at all. I found myself in there looking about and said to myself, stop and see if you're hungry. I did and I wasn't. So got a little bit of my Trop 50 OJ and moved on.

I am so grateful that the sleeve is letting me pause and reevaluate what I'm eating or what I'm looking to eat. That would not ever have happened before. Amazing.

OH! and I have come to discover that if I have had a lower Protein day, I find myself grazing around the kitchen. Gotta get that protein in to protect myself from evening noshiness.

HELLO LADIES!! I have totally been MIA, sorry!! Work has been sooo crazy, fighting with the hubby daily, and finally started a work out plan and doing that daily while raising children! UUGGGHH! The good news is that I am only 30 pounds till my goal. I can not believe it! How is everyone elses weight loss? We should post pictures!

Sadly, it's Hair loss time for me.... Can't stand it.

I'm almost 6 mo this out. I eat lots of Protein and take all the Vitamins. I guess there is nothing to so but endure it. I read that it's due to just loosing weight. The drop in nutrition / calories is what starts the process.

I will see my Doct later this month an will ask about how many calories we should be eating to continue weight loss but minimize loss of nutrition.

Just wanted to know if any of you have had this discussion with your surgeon or NUT???

I currently eat about 800 cal a day.
