Ms skinniness

You are so lucky! I had to go buy a new ward robe and now I own 2 jeans, 1 that a little bit big but will do. Great NSV

I don't know the answer but would like to wish you the best! CONGRATS!

Thanks to my sleeve, I LOVE MY SKINNINESS! I would do it in a heart beat! Orange juice is acidic and causes stomach problems, so I don't drink it. If so, just a sip.

You will have curves and if you exercise, you will have more definition in wanted areas. When you get down to where you like your bod, then you start your maintenance phase. This surgery has very few complications and everyone I've talked too are read their feedback would have the surgery again in a a heart beat. But it is not easy, it requires constant work and patience. Good luck with your decision.

Congrats! Welcome to the BIG LOSER'S CLUB!

So happy your home! Congrats!

That is not their procedure. Talk with your doc and see if he'll contact the insurance company and make some arrangement with them. Insurance companies don't budge, but if the doc wants the business, he will step out of the box and call. If he doesn't, you might have to look for someone else. Might even have to drive further.

I can fill it in the left side of my stomach and my eyes get kind of spacey. I sneeze and i burp. LOL

I eat way too fast! I need to slow way down because I eat a little less when I eat slower. other then that, eating fast hasn't really bothered me.

Welcome! This is a great place for support and to give support!

BTW CONGRATS on your approval!

It wasn't real to me until they were rolling me into the OR! LOL

When i came home from the hospital. The 3rd night after surgery. It felt great. I did have to scoot myself around but actually had no pain.

NOW! This is something to be proud of! It's an accomplishment!! Celebrate and be thankful for having your friends there that will support you.

Never eat too much, your stomach knows when it's full. Make sure you get your proteins in and drink a lot of water. Follow the rules of the sleeve and you will be fine.

Stop comparing yourself to others! Your body is not like the other person's body! You have done great so please stop comparing and celebrate the loss that you have had! It's alot of weight and you are not finished yet. It will come off. Now if you are depressed because you feel guilty and shameful about not exercising like your suppose too, then that's a different story. Start exercising now and pat yourself on the back for getting started. You can do it without looking back and punishing yourself. Celebrate the weight loss you have succeeded at! In fact, Keep Rockin that Sleeve and to something wonderful for yourself. You can and have done this! Eat Protein, protein, protein, and veggies. Drink lots of Water to stay hydrate and exercise.

Tina ~ I love who you are and you share such awesome stuff. You are such a positive person! Keep being you! You are beautiful......

I would have it done again in a heart beat! I have completely changed my old eating habits and I keep it high in proteins. Once in a while I will eat less than 1/2 of an In N Out Double double but really don't enjoy the bun anymore. i just had one and now my stomach is not liking it. Blahhhhhh! My head hunger got the best of me. I highly recommend it to whom ever is interested.

Did you have a leak previously and was in the hospital for a long time getting feed IV? Or am I thinking of someone else?

PQ. Weren't u I'm the hospital with a leak where they were giving u iv fcaloties? That was a long time and if I'm correct. Then that period of time does not count. If I have the wrong info. U are still doing a great job. I am also frustrated at times and was reminded by forenichick about being patient and letting my body drops weight. I do agree that u need to reset the boundaries with ur family. I tell my family absolutely no junk food but they still bring it. I found ice cream on my freeWr so I avid that freezer. I do need to throw it out. So frustrating. Hang in there and focus on proteins. U can do this!

Congrats! Sit back an get ready for a roller coaster ride. It is an amazing trip.
