I dont remember when I hit a 100 pounds down...but I did make it to onederland in may I believe. I am definatly going to have plasitics. I have about another 30 pounds to lose before I will have a tummy tuck and a boob lift and plumping . I have the money saved and the doc picked already. I will probably schedule a consult with him by the end of summer, hopefully I will be down those 30 pounds by then good luck ladies!

that what if feeling is hard to deal with...but we will make it through...just keep smiling, we are beautiful!

that is great!

that is so wonderful! congrats!

I know that being on a liquid diet for 2 weeks before surgery and then 2 weeks after the surgery was enough to drive me absolutely nuts! I'm not so sure that even with the sleeve as your tool that anyone could manage that long on that kind of restriction. my nut wanted me to get my protein from "real" food. I'm glad that she did. as far as losing hair...we all do have hair loss, but that doesnt mean all of your hair is going to fall out. I would just notice extra on my clothing and in the shower, I never got thin on the head. good luck to you!

I had the same pain...it doesnt last...it will go away but it took me until about the end of month 2 to not have it anymore. I had a case of serious buyers remorse for a while there. thankfully it passed and now I love my sleeve!

just keep up the exercise and the high protein. The stall will last as long as it takes for your body to adjust to this culture shock you will get there!

thank you everyone for such nice feedback. I wish you all the best!!

wow, thank you! I am so glad that I could provide encouragement to someone who is that far out and ahead of me. you can do it! just keep moving!

it will work for you....you are in the 3 week stall that everyone gets. you wont believe how fast the scale will move once you break that first stall! good luck!

you are so welcome! I know there have been a few times in this journey that I have been on the edge, so I am glad to be able to help someone through the same thing! good luck!

I hear that a slight regain is normal. however you dont want to have that turn into your worst nightmare! have you ever tried replacing a meal with a shake? or even 2? then just eat what you want for the other meals? I have also heard alot of good things about the 5 day pouch test...where it helps get some shrinkage back....mabye that would help. hope all the best for you! good luck!!

I have been on a cruise and believe me....the dine in dinner is so small in portions that you will be able to eat it all...lol my husband is a skinny man and he ordered 3 just to fill up, I was so embarresed!

hip hip horray!

everyone is gonna have different results....whatever you lose is a great number for you!

only steri strips here....but my tubaligation used staples and it didnt hurt to get them removed and there is no scar from the extra holes now.

this is normal. once you get out of the liquid phase you will fill up faster and it will last longer. just giveit time.

I have been able to handle alcohol....but it does hit me a lot quicker then before. I also find myself wanting to drink more now. Be really careful, im not saying that you will turn into an alcoholic or anything...but we are at a higher risk of developing other dependancies after this surgery. I know that I crave it more then I ever did before. plus it will slow down the weight loss due to the extra calories that goe down all to easy. good luck! and have fun! just be carefull

I didnt lose anything the first week either. the second week makes up for it. dont worry! it will get better!

I am so sorry! you must be so frustrated. there must be a reason for it to be delayed...God works in misterious ways...you will get the surgery soon, and it will be perfect for you!

having the thrist is a blessing...you need to drink a lot of water to be able to flush out that fat. I am always thristy. It is hard to quinch it at first during the begining cause you cant gulp...you can only drink a little at a time, but it gets better with time. good luck!

I dont wear anything. I have been fortunate not to have much jiggle.

I still had hunger, just not as much as before, and of course I fill up alot faster then I used to. I am 9 months out now and I still fill up on about 1/2 a cup of food. I definatly get hungry though. I have noticed that I can forget to eat at times though, if i am distracted. good luck!
