I have so many already now i can't choose lol. I think the fact that my boyfriend was holding me in bed tonight and said i felt "different". I asked what he meant and he said i am much smaller now so it felt like he was cradling me in a way. He just couldn't get over it and hadn't noticed how different i felt in his arms until that moment. He was like "i guess I'll have to lose weight now." His self esteem might have taken a little hit but man i felt so tiny. The night ended well lol. Sent from my SM-G925T using BariatricPal mobile app

Hello My sister got pregnant 18 months after the sleeve. She did not have any problems. She is 38. She was so happy! I am hoping to get mine in the next 2 months.

That is one HECK of a NSV!!! (nonscale victory) These are some of the things that keep us goin g for sure!! I can personally say that wouldn't work for me because my hubby has always way outweighed me. But he had his Sleeve surgery and is losing great now! When we got married (I was 17 and he was 23) I weighed 135#'s and he weighed 350. He made me feel so tiny. LOL I did get scared at my highest weight. I got as high as 285#'s. I thought you better do something or you will catch up to him. LOL Something like so many others I fought my weight all of my adult life. Thankfully I got my WLS July 2, 2013. I have maintained my 124# loss for 3 years now. I can't wait for him to get his weight off so we can begin to live life again. Way to go on your weight loss!! KEEP ON KEEPING ON!!

AWESOMENESS RIGHT THERE!!! Way to take CONTROL!! Both of you are making it a daily life change and believe me that is what helps you to be successful!! I myself had the RNY July 2, 2013. I have maintained my weight of 125#'s for 3 years. I lost 132#'s but did finally gain 8#'s back which was a good thing for me because I looked sick. It isn't the surgery that finishes the journey it is the tool to get us where we need to be!! Good Luck and KEEP ON KEEPING ON!!!

Its the salmon. After my surgery it caused that to me on multiple occasions. I have learned that it is too fat of a fish for us to handle. Everytime I have eaten it I get really sick and get diaherrea. That is the one fish we cant eat anymore. Even though it has one of the highest Protein levels. I am over a year out and still unable to eat it. Hope that helps

So what brand and type of Vitamins is everyone using after VSG surgery? And why?

My name is Jen and I'm 4 months post operative today. I started at 255lbs, and I'm 5"5. I was wearing a 18/20. I lost 10lbs preoperative diet, and 37lbs lost since surgery( 208.8lbs) I'm in between a size 14/16 now. I would say that I am a slow looser but that's okay. After getting denied by insurance plan because I had a eating disorder (bulimia) for 15 years, even though I have been in recovery for 8 years, I went through A Lighter Me in Mexico to get my surgery. I don't regret my decision at all, and I have been very pleased with my results. My struggles now are getting my daily Protein amounts, chugging enough Water, hair loss and fatigue. We are in this together so I hope that we can continue to support and inspire each other in this journey! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Agree with everyone above. I had the same thing happen. Can't stress walking enough and also get some Milk of Magnesia and suppositories this helped me so much as I really couldn't get relief without them.

I found that laying down right after eating is what causes it for me. Best is to remain vertical. Sent from my SM-G935T using the BariatricPal App

I have celiac so it's absolutely essential that I avoid gluten in its entirety. I have several food allergies as well but none developed post sleeve, they were all pre existing. The gluten free diet plays nicely with good nutrition post-op. Personally I think we have an advantage over those who are tempted by cookies, pasta, pizza, bread etc because we simply can't eat them. You just have to watch for hidden sources of gluten, like soy sauce, anything with modified corn starch as an ingredient, etc.
