How do you do with cold at this point? Maybe get 2 spoons and just taste his and see how it goes. If you explain why he will be glad to share. Have fun.

Same thing happened to me and oh my stomach looked like the Himalaya Mountain Range. It was very scary. I gained 15 lbs.

I had no sugar free anything when I was a kid. I am older than dirt. But I do remember Tab and Fresca later on in my life.

Very cute!

I am a retired customer service represenative. I am 8 months postop and down 80 lbs.

I just have to say, the sharpei, the wrinkley dog, if I did not spell correctly, is showing all over me. I guess when winter comes and it is not so hot I will finally try spanx and see if that helps in some areas. Still glad the 80 lbs is gone.

I never did and I am 8 months post op. just make sure you go to a surgeon that is experienced in sleeve surgery.

Wish you the best.

Love the picture. You are a hoot!

All the testing and prep you did can be taken to another dr. You will not have to start over. Don't let that dr talk you into a procedure that you do not want. I have only met 1 person that lost all her weight to goal and said she was having no problems. Be very sure. You don't want to have a second surgery.

You are doing fantastic. Remember you did this. You should be so proud!

You look great and your little boy is a cutie.

Are you taking a PPI? Acid reflux can make you feel hungry.

I would think as young as you are if you exercise it should be minimal. Would not worry about that. I was in the hospital 2 nights. I could have gone home after 1 night but my surgeon asked if I wanted to stay another night. I choose to stay because I did not feel comfortable enough to go home.

I am 66 and never had much in boob line. Now that I lost 80 lbs my boobs are two very small tube socks. The question is Do they make anything to wear under a bathing suit to hold up the boobs? Am going to hawaii in 6 weeks and just tried on my suits and oh the boobs. What do I do?

As far as shopping goes, just wait till you get into regular woman's clothing. Talk about a selection. I can't remember ever being in regular size clothing before. I go into a dept store and just wonder around looking at all my choices. It is so awesome. It won't be long and you will be here also. By the way you are doing fantastic. Keep up the good work.

Best of luck!

By his comments it sounds like he is not experienced with the sleeve. Most drs are not even doing lap and anymore because of all the problems. You had better research his qualifications and seek advice from another dr.

Keep us informed of your progress . You will be surprised at how fast the weight comes off that first few months. It is unbelievable. I am 8 months out and it is hard for me to believe when I look in the mirror. Best of luck on your journey.

Guess what guys, I made it to 195 today, down 80 lbs. 80 lbs! Never dreamed at the beginning that I could ever lose this much weight. I am just so amazed everyday of my successes. I am 66 yrs old. So anyone out there that is afraid or can't decide. Go for it. It is a life changer. Best of luck to all.

I am 8 months post op. I also am 66 yrs old. This was also a bit scary for me at my age. I can imagine you worrying about being here for your daughter but at the way you are will you be here for her. Are you able to do all the things you want to with her? You have to weigh the pros and cons and most importantly find a very good surgeon. I am down 80 lbs and would never have lost this without the sleeve. Best of luck to you.

I am 8 months out. My history: In childhood my mother was overweight and we ate sweets all the time. I became a obese child. At 4 ft tall and 4 th grade I weighed 160 lbs. very large. I have been addicted to sugar for over 60 yrs. the pre op diet was very hard. But I managed to not cheat once in the 2 weeks. Then after surgery I did not crave any sugar at all for a few months. Then when I was released to all foods I started trying a taste of this and that. Now I can eat everything and the sugar beast has raised it's ugly head. I have days where I eat too much sugar but I can't eat a whole bag of cookies or a pint of ice cream like before. I am a CARBOHOLIC and always will be so I have to watch what I do the rest of my life. This is not easy but well worth it.

March 2012 I started searching for the right surgeon. In June I had my first appointment. Had surgery Nov 28 2012. 8 months from start to finish. Now I am 8 months post op. Down 80 lbs. Time sure does fly and I could have never lost this much by myself. Best of luck in your journey, It is definitely a journey.

I've been type II for 20 yrs. been on insulin 2 yrs plus metforin. Used to take 4 shots a day 150 units. Now after losing 78 lbs I take 30 units, 2 shots a day plus the same metforin. Endo said I probably have been diabetic too long to completely get off of insulin. I had the sleeve 8 months ago specifically to get off of insulin. Has not worked for me yet but many on the posts have great results. I am 66 yrs old also. Best of luck to you.

Who said it was a no no. After 6 weeks I was released to eat whatever I could tolerate.
