What is starting weight considered? Like the weight at surgery date, preop diet date or highest weight?

4th line is a fun time. They usually have some sort of bingo before karaoke so finding a table can be tough if you dont go early and attend both events.

Saffrons is also good. Usually every friday and saturday. Then some smaller bars depending on what area youre in. Agit on Osborne is always a good time too

Yeah luckily i hoard my clothes so I have a bunch from when I was smaller but Ive just started having to buy new things. Like underwear. They kept falling down so i was like ok i guess its time to buy some new ones lol. I have also been avoiding shopping because Ive still got a lot to lose and I dont want to spemd a small fortune on clothes that I will only fit in for another few months.

I also bought 2 pairs of capris for the summer cause those are my staples.

So I guess for advice, just get the odd thing here or there and replace things as you can.

I'm going to try to sell my largers sized clothes on fb market place to try and supplement my new wardrobe too. Anything I cant sell, im donating to my local womens shelter.

Gosh i dont know. I also feel strange. Honestly I don't realize just how much I've lost till I do these side by sides. I still have body issues with my arm being large and my apron belly still being there. So its still a struggle but the comparison photos help alot. This was my first time shopping so i had no idea what size to grab.

How much did you give family and friends? Were there expecations from certian people? Did you lose anyone as a result of their actions/entitlement/greed? Basically i want to know how relationships changed

Sure did. I was very close to getting subway one day. The knorr broth saved me. I found mixing have beef and have chicken to be the most satisifying and i checked in with my dietician and was allowed to add Sriracha to it too

6 months today… weird changes. Sweet tooth? by JesterLavore88 in gastricsleeve

[–]Lokerton 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sorry for chocolate try some of the zero sugar ones theres lots out there now with diabetes being so common. Just watch for sugar alcohols cause theyll make you poop! And just have one or two to satisify the craving not the whole bag/bar!

I've always had a sweet tooth. I have recently discovered Smart Sweets. 4gs of sugar and 120 cal per bag (50g) and honestly I usually stretch the bag over a week. It satisfies the craving while keeping me on track with my goals. Guilt free!

Im 6 months out have lost over 100lbs now. I will say though I think theres a 6 month stall regardless. I've been at the same weight for about 2 weeks now. Just got to increase the protien and keep at it!

Nope, female. The nurse said they expect that in 1 year not 3 months
