    Loose skin ?

    I have some, work hard at working out. I am only 4+ mos out and I am told it will continue to tone for up to 2 years after surgery. I'd trade some loose skin for being 60+ lbs heavier! I do weight training, yoga, running/walking and some cardio classes- I TRY to worn out each day of the week. Good Luck!

    Alchohol

    I drank at 10 weeks out, with no complications. My doctor told me I am ok. Just watch empty calories, ulcers and transfer of addiction (food for alcohol) I drink seldomly during a given month with no problems. Lots of people have their own thoughts on this- and it can be a touchy subject. I drink beer and cider, not liquor- I don't like it.

    I'm losing my hair!

    I am 4 months out and getting in protein and yet I am losing my hair like crazy, as in I am getting concerned, and it looks terrible. I had very thick hair to begin. When will it subside?

    Need some encouragement!

    I am January and close to your loss total. The good thing for us is our skin. Losing slower allows it to keep up. Good luck!
  9. Had my surgery Monday morning and by Friday afternoon I was driving, off my pain meds and at a basketball game on Saturday morning. Good luck to you!
  10. I am three months out and hair is falling out like crazy! Scares me, but I do have think hair to start. Any idea when it stops?

    Well I'm a slow loser

    Any regrets?

    I am 3 mos. out today- haven't regretted it once. If anything, I wish I had it done sooner. Down -50lbs and 32 inches in 3 mos. (starting weight 265 and 40 yrs old)
  13. Oh and regarding gum. I chewed some day 4 after surgery and accidents swallowed. Called my surgeon in a panic ad he assured me I would be just fine- and I was. I pretty much chew gum every day, with no issues. Today actually marks 3 mos. for me exactly.
  14. The hospital will have everything you need. I'd suggest bringing your robe to keep you more covered and warm when walking the halls. I walked them over and over at all hours of the day/night. Good Luck to you!
  15. Congrats to you! Just last week I too was able to move from the Women's World Section at the store to the regular misses. I was over the moon happy! Keep up the good work!

    Nosey folks!

    I only told one person, my mom. I am down 47 lbs in just under 3 mos. I say diet and exercise. Which is the truth. Good Luck!
  17. Not one single regret. So happy I had this done. A lot of work pre-op and I will work on this the rest of my life- so worth it. Good luck to all of those considering the surgery.

    How long we're you out of work?

    Surgery on Monday morning and back to work the following Monday. Professional job- at desk seeing appointments. The amount of time was perfect! Not too little, not too much.
  20. Hi- curious to know people's experience with drinking alcohol after sleeve surgery. Does anyone know if cider has a lot of carbonation? Can I damage my sleeve? Stretch it out? I won't have several drinks- just 1-2 socially for a friends birthday.
  21. Hello my January 21st friends! Can you please tell me what a typical day of liquids, food and protein looks like for you? Quantities you are consuming and times of day. Thanks so much!

    4 Months & 75 pounds...Pics

    You look just beautiful! I see your loss. Keep up the great work!
  23. Some meals I am done in a couple bites. Other meals I can eat more. I have consumed too much on a handful of occasions and I have thrown up. It's a delicate balance.
  24. I am finding the people we see often (every day at work) are seeing less of a loss. I met friends today for lunch and they had not seen me in a couple months and they definitely noticed.
