    Am i the only one?

    I feel the same way! With clothes on man i see the weight is going away. Get naked in front of a mirror and the fat me is back! It wasn't till last week I did my second before and after picture since surgery that I saw I now have collar bones! Who knew?!? Brain fog doesn't clear for a while...

    when?

    I am 5 months out... I still hate to go grocery shopping! I like Costco for cheese sticks and trader joes for turkey jerky. I know where it is and I go straight in and straight out! Shopping sucks!!!!! I feel lost in there and just send my husband.

    Tummy Tuck

    There is a board on here for cosmetic surgery... I have been reading on it for the past few weeks! I am looking into it with my Dr. and insurance because there is no amount of shrinkage that will fix my tube sock boobs and hanging basket tummy! Check it out there are great pics and topics on it.

    Gallbladder Cleanse

    I would search for a natural cleanse on this topic! Try not to have it removed if you can help it. Just my 2 cents worth...

    only hungry at night!

    I am the same way! OMGosh I thought it was only me! I am 5 months out. I eat at night... if I don't I can't sleep! I try to get all my fluids in. I still struggle with that!

    Hair loss

    I was sleeved in October as well. I shed badly right now! I cut my long thick locks into a short pixie cut... I went with the hair cut from Dinner for Smucks...(stephanie i think) I have had so many complements. I tried the Biotin, however i gained weight taking it. when I stopped taking it the weight started to come back off.

    they want me to what?!

    I was told to cough but I never did... I just worked on breathing and never had any issues. Sneezing hurt like hell!!!!
  8. I am 5 months out and I am not having any problems at all.
  9. My Dr. Said 3 months out. Just goes to show every Dr. is different
  10. I don't know what happen to my post! I will repost it when I get home and can attach the screen shots! Crazy it just went away!
  11. Up your calories a bit. and make sure you are getting enough liquids in. your body is use to the same amount of calories. as soon as you add more food in there you will see it start to come off again. Example add beef jerky or turkey jerky in for snack with a cheese stick. or a yogurt cup. something small makes a HUGE difference!
  12. How is everyone doing? This group is very quiet! I have been doing ok. I have daily mental struggles and fight with myself over water intake. Other than that the depression about food is gone and I am starting to feel so much more alive! I hope everyone in this group is good. I just wish it was a bit more active.
  13. Can you flush a toilet without water? You have to have water to flush your system out. Once you get in 80% of water have tea... just get in most of your water first. Nothing can really replace water for health benefits.
  14. You didn't mention anywhere in there you are drinking Water. Something drill Sargent's say during basic training... or yell rather! "DRINK WATER!" And you have to finish one of your canteens and hold it upside down over your head to prove you drank it all. Water will help! Cut the coffee to one cup a day and try water when you want another cup! I understand the late night snacking try measuring out almonds or peanuts in a bag. I measure them out to 1/4 cup... I don't eat them all but they satisfy my urge. Also late in the evening try having a warm (slightly heated) Protein shake. That also helps curb my late night hungers. Eat yogurt, cheese sticks, or beef Jerky during the day and try incorporating high protein meals in there for a bit and see if any of this helps. I wish you the best!
