Ms skinniness

You are about to embark on a beautiful journey! I love your positive outlook and you will really Rock that new Sleeve of yours! You've got this girl.... Have a nice peaceful sleep and then presto, it's done......

This is fantastic! I love this transformation! Perhaps the muffin top will go away when you are completely healed. And besides, I have a pretty big muffin top too when I wear my jeans. I do hate feeling the loose skin on my sides, stomach, arms, neck and face, oh and not too mention my thighs. Now it's really beginning to bother me. Uggggggggggg......It's time to really look into getting something done for myself......Thanks for sharing this with me.... HUGS across the pond!

My program wanted us to wait 10 minutes between each bite. I failed at this. But I use a small desert size plate and only use the center of it. I also put the fork down in between bite.

Hamburgers grilled is really dry and will irritate your stomach. I love meatballs with marinara sauce and mozzarella cheese. So delicious.

Yes, my feet shrunk from 8.5 wide to an 8......My shoes kept falling off.....

great job, keep it up! Stalls happen and then their gone in an instance.....

It is so hard to experience this loss...... Your body is most likely repairing itself and has some inflammation going on.

This is so amazing..... This is the bad boy in you! LOL Keep on Rockin that sleeve!

Let's all get up and dance for you...... Great NSV!

Don't waste time being guilty, instead be very thankful you have such loving caring parents that will do this to help you. This is wonderful support system. It's such a blessing.....and it makes them happy too.....

It took me about 1 week to recover and I was back to work in a jiffy.

This is such a relief......So happy your still in the June club for VSG wls! CONGRATS!

I am 20 months post op and at goal weight........but am considering a few more lbs to lose. This is my new addiction....always wanting more.......

I work at staying away from processed foods, except my protein shakes and protein bars.... The less ingredients the better!

OMG! THis is the absolute truth for the majority of us here. I simply don't buy it except on rare occasions, I do buy greek yogurt though and put whipped cream on it.... So delicious with just a little bit of sugar. Love it. Thanks for sharing this John....

I've learned to catch my negative thoughts, check the thought, and if it's irrational, to change it. This is a CBT technique.

You go girl!

From my understanding the protein shakes help us keep our muscle and promote weight loss. This is confusing to me as well. I would talk with your NUT.

It is so hard to draw a line with a mom, but this is part of being an adult and your mom will love you even more for it. I bet she is very proud of you and deep down is scared she will lose you. I love your determination and I know you will be very successful with your new sleeve and your mom will be there to support you after it's done too. Especially when she sees how happy and healthier than before..... CONGRATS!

I had my GB removed a couple of months ago and it was so much easier than the sleeve procedure. I had no pain and went to Las Vegas 2 weeks later. So happy they removed. I also got some good follow up information from the bariatric doc at Kaiser. Now I don't have to worry about having a GB attack....

I have eaten a high protein diet with veggies and maybe a bite or 2 of a carb. I am pretty much at goal (personal) and am maintaining. When I want to drop some weight, i do all protein. The carbs seem to make me retain weight so I don't eat them.

Mirena has pregesteron in it.....

It is so sad to lose a friend. It is ok to mourn the death of this friend. But I look at it like this. at least your friend is not in any pain anymore and what a gift it was to have gotten to know him. You had a bad day yesterday but today may be a better day. just get on track and eat something to nourish that beautiful fat burning body of yours right now. That's your gift to you an your family and friends......

We can't control what people think but we can choose to take a break from them.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
