breast options after weight loss
AStephenson replied to NurseMom's topic in Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery
Any gals who have had breast augmentation notice an absence of sensitivity?? My husband told me a story that he heard about one of his coworker's wives who had breast implants and she lost all feeling..supposedly her husband said, "she didn't even know he was on them".....Not sure if this is true or not, but I would be torn between looking nice or full sensation. -
Finally - protein I can tolerate!
AStephenson replied to Strangefruit's topic in Protein, Vitamins, and Supplements
I like "Protein Ice" brand in the blue raspberry flavor...zero carbs, not too sweet, and tart and refreshing over ice. I buy it at a local sports nutrition shop. It's a little pricey as well...:/ -

How dis your marriage change after your sleeve?
AStephenson replied to sars's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hi Sars...I wonder this too. My husband and I have been together for almost 30 years and we have weathered lots of tough times. Although he is not super supportive of me going to Mexico to have this surgery, and has expressed fears for my well being and outcome (sometimes harshly) I feel confidant that once I am on the other side and feeling good, it will improve our relationship even more. I hope to inspire him to take better care of himself, and to include him in activities other than our usual dining out. This surgery is an investment in our future! -
Sounds yummy Thanks for sharing!

Nsv Ah-Ha Moment
AStephenson replied to sleeved080212's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
(sigh) I'm hoping that this coming New Years will also be my last year to worry about that..scheduled for February 2013 -
Hi there..don't lose focus! I know that's easy for me to say..I'm still pre-op, but don't get discouraged. Just follow your plan, you may be in one of the dreaded stalls

Taste Buds And Sleeve Surgery
AStephenson replied to Carol Watts's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I've read lots of posts about this...seems to be a common occurrence for people. It's related to being in ketosis I think but supposedly it gets better as time goes by, your tastes return to normal. -
Bit-Sized Portions Perfect For Sleevers
AStephenson replied to sleevediva's topic in Regular foods (stage 4)
For someone who has only seen "bite-sized" brownies...this was a neat article! I've never referred to food as being adorable, but looking at these I can agree...they are! Thanks for posting -
Plan To Stick Around
AStephenson replied to june13sleever's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I hope this means that they are just busy enjoying life being normal sized and not because they have regained weight! -

Gastric Sleeve Book?
AStephenson replied to Jenny12's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I've watched his youtube videos too and really like them. He was my first choice in surgeon but I'm not patient enough to wait to save up his surgery fee :/ -
Syntrax Nector Samples
AStephenson replied to My350z06's topic in Protein, Vitamins, and Supplements
Maybe they are older than the tub stuff?? Age/moisture/settling could affect how it would come out of the package, clumpy or loose and free-flowing. Maybe try to break it up before you mix it... -
Gastric Sleeve Book?
AStephenson replied to Jenny12's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I've got Dr. Alvarez's book...it's pretty good, lots of general information, some "troubleshooting" tips...you can order it off his website endobariatric.com or I think there is even a link on here somewhere I've seen.
