I was attending the support group in the summer (with my husband) and fell off the wagon when I went back to school. Where are the meetings in June being held? I would like to try to attend. Thanks!
WLS is a tool and can be overriden. We all struggle with our eating habits. Suggest attending support groups or hook up with other WLS patients. In the end we make or break our own loss of weight. You may want to get involved with a nutrionist.
Its a life change.
I am a Vertical Sleeve patient and I too struggle. No surgery alone is an easy solution.
good luck and keep in touch

today i decided to start the 5 Day Pouch Test. ive only had liquids today in the form of water, crystal light, propel, whey protein shake, muscle milk, cream soup, jello and sugar-free pudding (i still had my coffee as usual). i am going to have green tea tonight before bed. ive decided to do this because ive found myself "allowing" a bite of something here, a bite of something there. i CRAVE carbs. i know if i keep letting myself "sample" here and there that i will get back to the grazing and snacking i was doing. i am also going to admit that i did not drink my water last week like i had been. i was averaging atleast 100oz/day and i found myself only drinking maybe 48oz or less some days. ive done the 5 DPT in the past with great results, it truly helped with the carb cravings.
here is what my day looked like: (and ive not been hungry ..at all!)
16.9oz Plain Water
24oz Regular Coffee
8oz Choc Whey Protein Shake
16.9oz Crystal Light
20oz Kiwi/Strawberry Propel
8oz Cream of Chic Soup
4oz Sugar-Free Jello
16.9oz Plain Water
14oz Choc Muscle Milk
16.9oz Plain Water
so....should be an interesting week! hehe
take care all, keep up the great work and drink drink drink!
im off to go walking, heading to the soccer field (takes me 30 minutes to get there)

I live in Stafford Va. I would love to get back in the job market. I home school my daughter up until now, she is in the 8th grade so now I have more time on my hands. My back ground is in banking, but willing to learn new things any help. I have a new look and lots of energy finally, but would love to get out the house or work from home. Thanks for any help anyone can offer.
