No game

I think mine will be noticeable for life.... Oh well

Ok this is from member maharet111 I always like her answer so I copy and paste it to these questions. Okay a little science here as told to me by my surgeon. Water has a high surface tension, meaning that its barrier to allow it to be broken down is hard. Think of a steel paper clip that floats on the surface. Now your stomach is like the size of a coffee stirrer at this point due to swelling etc. because of the high surface tension it is hard sometimes for the water to be absorbed and gets kind of backed up if that makes sense. So when you dilute water or mix it with something if breaks that high tension and thus can be absorbed faster. Not everyone experiences it but it is one of those side effects that can happen.

Great job so far! there most definitely is a difference! I really regret not taking a "before" I'm glad you will have this as a comparison pic and a motivator!

Umm we can just add it to the 50 thousand other pantie and bra pics! Yes I think you are fine.

Dixie, How are you doing? This is a hard physical and mental journey. I think most people here realize that. None of us are perfect...we wouldn't be here if we were!

Nope....

Here..... kitty.....kitty......

<3 it !!

Sounds like a good plan! I'm sure you will do great, kick some ass! and let us know how it goes. Laura

Fiddle I said IM LUCKY if I lose a pound a week! I'd through a party if it was 1 to 2 pounds every week!

Hehe.... What she said!!! I hate kittens! And I'm Lucky to lose 1 1/2 pounds a week.... Where's a cat!

You just need to keep working in it! It's kinda like a full time job... But an important one! try to up it a bit everyday. I've seen so many people end up back in the hospital just for dehydration! Some people fill a shot glass and drink it every ten minutes . But I don't know that sounds a little tedious to me.

Well.. I just noticed you haven't had surgery yet? So I guess your talking pre op? Or perhaps post op? If its post op when you are in the full liquid stage you are probably going to have to rely on the protein shakes and cream/broth soups...

I can't believe you are doing so well after giving birth! Moving, staying in a hotel, a new baby! I never had a baby when I was "healthy" what a concept!! Oh and the most important thing!!! OMG SHE'S PERFECT!!! I love the first picture, She's look so serene....

That's always a much discussed topic here... You are going to get people that will very strong in their opinions on only eating 800 or under until maintenance.... Then there are the ones that are eating closer to 1000 to 1200... And are losing You need to do what works for you and know that your doctor was trained in this area and knows the healthy way of doing things..

You are going to be riding them soon, I know it! And doing so much more in your happier healthier life!

Cool, how long ago did you have your surgery? Has your hair started to fall out?

Hi, There is an whole sub- forum here called "Band to sleeve revisions " there is a lot of info there. Good luck to you!

Be right back!! I'm of to costco to pick up Kleenex!!!

Shoot fiddle, I'm hungry now at 4 months can you imagine me at 9? Watch out But for you, I think you need to look at the AMOUNT of exercise you do! It's crazy! I mean you exercise so much I think I'm losing weight just reading about it! You probably need that extra fuel don't you think ? I know my husband does and he's super athletic he drinks one of my protein drinks just as a primer before a meal...

Beautiful!!! Inspirational!! You look so happy and comfortable in your own skin! I so hope to have that kind of success too!

I'm really excited for you natedinsmoor2 I can't wait to follow you progress!
