Seeking Buddies 5'2" & Under
MelliePierre replied to ladymacwhiz's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I'm tall at 5'3 but wanted to stop by and say hi! I started at 193, at surgery I was 187 and now I'm 140. I was sleeved 6/13/13. Good luck all!!! I is love my sleeve :0) -
^^^^^ 7 months on the 13th

I'm able to eat all kinds of raw fruit (apples believe it or not are my fav now) but again as previously stated all surgeons differ. It takes hours to finish but it goes down smooth.

^^^^ I'm with you! Hopefully responses come soon. -
I'm sorry for your loss. Stress w the sleeve isn't a good mix at all. Stay hydrated and pls try to get soft foods down like soup if possible.

I love love love nascobal!!!! As soon as I take my puff I feel energized!!! You can go to their site and print a coupon for a coupon card. My insurance does a 3 mth supply for $35. I tried sublingual b12 and it's Nothing compared to nascobal.

Per my WLS Doc the first 6 mths are "primetime." Afterwards it slows down. It's time to change up the exercise and diet routine that your body has grown accustomed too.
