do have allot of stretch marks on that enchilada if you do I would expect some skin issues once you do drop the weight completly. If not I am hoping that you wont good luck

my daily goals are 800 calories a day,70 Protein,64 Water. So that gives me a deficit of 1,190 calories a day= 2.4 pounds lost a week. I never get all the water and protein in but I try my best . I also have been exercising for about a month now and try to go 3-5 days a week for 1 hour at the gym. I lost 90 pounds with no exercise. I firmly believe that food contributes to 60-75% of weight loss .So, with the exercise I lose about another 1 pound a week.I try to keep calories at 800. When I go above that I don't lose as much. Also eating high protein at every meal makes a big difference and has a great affect on how much I lose weekly. Stick to Greek yogurt, cottage cheese ,reduced fat cheese sticks,low fat milk,beef,turkey,chicken,shrimp,tuna fish,lentils,Beans , all fruits ,all vegetables and as little sweets and salty Snacks as possible. Use olive oil ,canola oil ,pam spray.I weight and measure almost everything I eat using a scale ,measuring spoons and cups. Something else to keep in mind is that every Body is different. Some lose slower than others. keep your eyes on the prize.It will come off eventually if you are following the rules. Congrats on the awesome loss! 80 pounds is equal to 320 sticks of butter

I have an app on my phone called frame its free. I went in and choose the frame that had two photos side by side then choose from my library the 2 photos. Saved it to my library then uploaded it using the vertical sleeve app that I also downloaded on my phone free. Im using an Iphone Hope this helps.

I would get checked out just to be on the safe side. But this is what my life was like for the first month post op . Tierd ,dizzy,and sleepy. Your body is going through a major change and shift that will take a while to level out. Keep up the fluids which can be the culprit and protein. Good luck and hope you get better fast

Yeah . Its crazy that I was ever that big for so long. The sleeve is a great tool

Thanks everyone Im so happy I got sleeved. I feel alive

Ive been lifting for a little over a month now specific for my arms . Thank you so much

I don't like to eat bread because it hurts in my stomach when I do. Theres an arabic bread called markook that is paper thin that I can eat but rarely do (carbs). They have it in Walmart . There's also pita bread which is pretty thin compared to regular bread but I don't like to eat it either causes pain for me. I'm 7 months out. I guess each person is different And think that bougie size may have something to do with how well you can tolerate bread since it swells in the stomach when eaten.

I'm down 105. Weight-loss has definitely slowed . was 3 pounds a week every week now 1 pounds a week on 800 calories a day. I have started uping my exercise and have noticed a jump in my loss. I was size 22-24 pants and am now a size 10-12 depending on the pants. Tops medium from 3x. I have about 30 pounds to go thats my personal goal, my doctor never set a goal for me. To be normal BMI I have to weight 148-168. I have chosen to make 150 my goal. Im very happy with my results. I just want to be done with the losing weight part.

I also shrunk down to 5'5'' from 5'7'' but have only gone back up an inch funky!

Sad, My moms doc is pushing her to get the band. I tried to talk her out of it but shes the type that when you push towards something she does the complete opposite!

I know 2 people that got the band. The first lady is a close friend. She suffered horribly to the point she almost died of infection. A year after getting the band it got infected. Fluid built up in her abdomen and closed off her esophagus. She didn't know about the infection till 5th day she couldn't eat without vomiting. Finally she went to the ER(thank GOD she didn't go septic), she removed it and was left with scar tissue and damage to her intestine. The second women is my uncles wife. She was around 400 pounds when she got the band. She lost about 200 with constant vomiting. She lived off of soups. then it got to the point she couldn't handle the vomiting so she loosened it and has gained back allot of weight. My mother wants to get the band because that's the only thing her insurance will cover. I'm so worried about her. I wish I had money to pay for her sleeve

I ate sushi the rice rolled kind and am able to eat 2-3. Next time Im gonna ask them to cut them into smaller slices. I think that will help. LOVE sushi

I had my surgery in mexico the sleeve and I asked for a wheelchair service a man wheeled me from the airplane doors to the outside of the airport were my husband was waiting for me. I didnt have any lay over though I was in the airplane for 4-5 hours. Good luck I wish you the best

I have a consultation for breast lift and augmentation with Dr. Reisin on Thursday. He works in Novi Michigan with star plastics. I have researched everywhere to get reviews on his breast lifts and found none. Have you had surgery with him? what did you get done? how do you feel about the results? can you post pics Please?

Thats the first I thought when reading this. Hot tea go for it dont wait it cant hurt. Hope you feel better

You are doing great!Congratulations on the loss. The closer you are to goal the harder to get the pounds to come off I also have about 30 something pounds to go and it is difficult lately to lose more than a pound a week. Just stick to the basics 70 protein, 64 water , exercise and it will be gone eventually

yes the solid food is more dense and hits your stomach like a rock. try chewing more and/or adding something to moisten it like mayonnaise, chicken broth, marinara sauce , salad dressing what ever works for you.

1/2 cup oikos vanilla greek yogurt 28 almonds 6 kafta balls in tomatoe onion sauce chicken patty dinner Dont know yet but Im aiming for Protein that ricotta bake sounds AWESOME

I'm 7 months out and have 36 pounds to go. I did notice that around six months it all slowed down, by then I had lost 100 pounds. I was losing 3 pounds a week no problem now 1-2 a week if Im lucky. I have lost a total of 102 pounds so far.

My hair started falling out at 3 months and has not stopped yet Im almost 7 months post op. I have noticed keeping my protein up makes a difference. I plan on starting biotin.

Number 1 tums extra strength, sports bra with no under-wire, Lots of options for liquids, paper and pen to write down how much liquids your getting in(very important), Loved ones to be around to you

I threw up from liquid and solid. the vitacraves by centrum stay down. any gummi textured one should work.

Communication is the number one relationship killer, Im glad your doing well together.

Stalls are very common. Increase your liquids if your not getting enough. Make sure your getting in 60-70 grams protein,take your vitamins.Have you gone #2 lately? try to eat higher than your normal calorie range for 2 days then go back to normal calorie intake. It can confuse your body and throw you back into weightloss mode. If none apply to you then hang in there stalls stink but they will pass good luck
