I can't wait for my surgery, and I have been smaller. I loved it. I think I will adjust fine. I'm going to lose my mind once I get into straight sizes. When I say lose my mind I think I'll be dressing up just to go to the corner store. Lol. I kind of already do. Hehe.

I'm still pre-op and a size 22/24, lol. I'm 282 now, and at 190 I was a size 14, so it won't be fitting soon. My surgery isn't until the end of July. I'm doing a spring cleaning. I'm giving away some clothes locally, and selling some. I have been selling clothes for awhile now. I regret selling some of those because most were brand new or hard to get again. I didn't think about having surgery until recently. Oh well.

Anyone blogging their wls journey on youtube, whether before the surgery or soon after? I'm looking to subscribe to others. I also created my own page. I just started so not that many videos. I have six months left, lol.

Thank you.

I usually hear that it just "happens" but does anyone have a scientific reasoning for it? What months do stall usually happen. I have been hearing that after six months there might be some slowing down, but I am sure that might have to do with starting weight/or near goal. So in short if you don't have the scientific answer for people that are one year post when did weight loss slow down for you? What month/weight? What part did exercise play? Did it help weight come off faster or slow it down?

Thanks. I plan on getting a bike soon, so my legs will be taken care of, that's for sure.

Just checking in. Anyone fron Brooklyn?

How much did you want to lose?

Lol.

Ow! Now that song is in my head.

Was going to buy something online from Torrid, and those charts are NEVER accurate. For example when I was 192-200 (did cardio and strength training) my measurements were 46-37-46 and I wore a 14 in jeans, and would buy 1x/2x tops from Torrid because of my big boobies (38ddd.) According to the Torrid charts a 14 is 34 inch waist, lol!. I am an apple/rectangular shaped person and I wear my jeans at my waist, not low rise or anything. Now, I'm 5'6, 283, and I wear a 22 jeans, and 22/24 tops from Lane/Ashley. My measurements are 56-50-56. I know brands vary between misses, women, and juniors. I usually buy from Torrid, and I wonder if Torrid is considered a juniors plus store? I digress. I have also noticed it elsewhere, where a person's actual waist size in inches doesn't match the size, i.e. a size 6 with 31 inch waist. Long story short, what are your true measurements and what size do you wear? Include your height. Thanks/

That's my issue with the malabsorption thing that made me choose the sleeve. What I found interesting was that the intestines "heals" itself after about two years, so you stop losing that ability. I don't know if it's 100 percent, but I doubt it because from my understanding although the intestines would start absorbing fats again, its not absorbing all the nutrients still, hence the need to take your vitamins for life. I will google the explanation on that.

I do buy my tops to accommodate for the "girls." I do also wonder what my shape would go to once smaller. I do know that I'll probably still be an apple because my boobies will always be bigger, I believe. It's a big boobie family I have. Some have both butt, and boobie. I don't.

Nope, you did not answer my question, lol. It did make me laugh because you didn't answer it. There is no Torrid where I live so I only buy online. I hate shopping. The lines, the crowd, and with coupon codes its wayyyyy cheaper online than stores, especially Lane you get coupons all the time.

I have HS which is similar to folluculitis, but I digress. Hey yall! Anyone getting their surgery in July?

Hey. I'm 5'6 284, and medium to large frame going by the measuring of the wrist chart. Anywho my goal is 125 or a size 2 or 4, but I would be okay with 150. I have more boobs than legs. I would describe my shape as straight or a perhaps apple. Anyone here same height? I guess I'm trying to see if 125 lbs would be too small for my frame. Thanks.

How did you lose the weight? How long did it take? I just started a reduced carb diet. Im 5"6. Trying to lose 20 by July

I noticed there wasnt an option for people who log in using their facebook. Do I have to create a new account when using the app?

Is there a percentage or average out there of when post vsgers stop having heartburn? Is it after eating or all day? I know it varies per person but Id like to know when it ends on average and what brings it on. I know certain food trigger it, but Id like as much info about this. Im pre op and heartburn has never really been an issue for me. Once in a blue moon, usually too much water or grapefruit. Its not that bad that medicine is required.

Im going to the grocery in fifteen minutes any brands of mixes you can recommend? Can someone make a protein liquid sticky of all the brands, tastes pre and post surgery as well as prices and where to buy?

Thanks Abaco.
