Veteran Sleevers please chime in.
Katnroyal replied to Biloxigirl's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I shoot for 75-80 grams daily and I am almost 4 years post opp. I also work out 4-5 days a week so I actually need more. -
Your post cracked me up! What a fun lady you sound like! I went from a 42 DD to a 34 DDD the smaller you get the cup sizes aren't equal. Just buy what is comfortable and not too many until you reach that goal weight! Keep up the good work!

Just focus on your Protein intake. The hair will grow back, keep it a little shorter, I kept mine at shoulder length it looked thicker. As far as stretch marks go, use a scar or body rejuvenating cream consistently and you will see improvement. Mine are still there but faint.

How has this surgery affected your cycles? (GIRLS)
Katnroyal replied to reachbree's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am almost four years out and my cycle is completely regulated. I have a 6 day cycle every four weeks. I was very irregular before the surgery. -
I am almost one year our and there are still times I feel full after about three bites of something! I also dont feel hungry all the time, I usually realize I need to eat when my stomach growls!

I had my husband help me shower, I just kind of stood there and held myself still. I didn't scrub around the incisions and it really is an exhausting time. But oh it felt so wonderful!
-
Wow you look amazing! I have a Vegas trip planned hope I have as much fun as you did!
-
You go girl! I was told I could have sex whenever I felt up to it, I think it was about ten days for me and it was awesome! It really does only get better!

Tea tree oil shampoo, hair loss!
Katnroyal replied to sarahzamudio1091's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I just made sure I was getting in my protein and vitamins. I took biotin and used nioxin shampoo, they both helped speed up the regrowth process. Hair loss will happen but I promise it will grow back. -
I was driving four days out, so if you do not have any complications you should be good, just not when your on pain medicine. My incision sites took about 6 weeks to heal completely. this is when my doc let me swim, get in the bathtub etc. Hope this helps! Good luck to you!

Before and after pics ?
Katnroyal replied to Aaronmadeit's topic in Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery
This is something I am also curious about, Mine is actually not as bad as I thought it would be. -
I knoew it was coming! But it's still messing with my head!
Katnroyal replied to girlrfriday's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I always made myself evaluate the amount of food I was eating, compared to what I used to eat. Then logic kicks in, there is no way I could be eating as little as I was and not be losing weight. The stall is just a period of time to let your body catch up. -
Stalls are no fun, but with hitting the gym you are probably building muscle and your body stalls to adapt. I always noticed I lost inches, not pounds during a stall. Just stick with it and the stall will pass. Plus the week after a stall I would lose about double what my average was.

what! its 4 months already?
Katnroyal replied to avanti's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
Keep it up you are looking fantastic! -
Stick with what you can tolerate. Right now you just need the liquid.

I had very slow weight loss in the first few weeks due to being dehydrated and having to be pumped with IV's. After the internal swelling went down and I could sip easier and more often the weight started melting off.
-
I walked daily and started jogging on an elliptical about week 4. My doc would let me do extensive exercise or swim until 6 weeks.
-
I think the sleeve effects us all differently. When I started losing, my hormones were all over the place and I had the sex drive of a 19 year old boy, the further out I have gotten the more that has leveled out. I agree that sometimes we focus so much on other things we forget about romance, and as women, most of us need romance to get in the mood. I would suggest a romantic evening out or some good one on one quality time.

Lane Bryant graduates
Katnroyal replied to OKSleever's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I transferred to New York and Company, I believe they go up to an 18 and have stylish work and casual clothes. Their clothes don't fit like juniors clothing which is a plus for me seeing as I still have curves! lol Revel in this feeling, you will never shop there again. -
One week post op and only lost 5lbs?!? Why?
Katnroyal replied to lovedlov's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I wouldn't worry, they pump you with a ton of liquids, plus your body is in starvation mode trying to hold on to what its got. It will start to come off soon! Keep at it!
