I eat dense protein first and usually don't have room for anything else. Are you eating protein first?
-
I use some from walmart made by roc. I can't use it very often because of my face peeling so I've been putting it on every three days. I want to know how Long it takes before that stops so I can use it every day. Anyone know.

I've been alone for years doing nothing but being a single mom so I am totally clueless about men and relationships. This is the first hook up I've ever had so your advice is right on I'm sure. It will also be my last hook up!

Ok I keep trying to report a problem but it still won't let me. This is the problem I'm having. Why won't it let me log in with my user name and email that I used on verticalsleevetalk? When I try it says already in use! Is it not possible to use the same info? So I had to create all new info even had to get a new email address.

Question for Those 1 Year+ Out
Michellemo replied to livvsmum's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
I'm 15 months out. What to eat is not a big deal. I can eat what ever I want just small amounts. I eat very view carbs and I weigh daily. By weighing daily I don't feel I have to track my food. -
Didn't expect hunger pangs so soon
Michellemo replied to pittsy's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I woke up from surgery hungry. I'm 14 months out and gave lost 172 pounds so hunger pangs haven't had a negative affect on me. I get hungry so I eat a few bites and I'm full so it's not been a problem. -
the fat fills in the wrinkles?
Michellemo replied to MindiJean's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I'm 38 and have lost 172 pounds. I do notice a few lines and I have had a little filler done but I think I look good and prettier now that my face is not as chubby. I now weigh 146 and I'm very happy at this weight and mainly because I'm afraid I would start to look older if my face got any thinner. -
Its been a year and a half since the sleeve
Michellemo replied to raymer123's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
You look great! -
I'm going to look these books up. I got in the floor the other night to stretch and my goodness I was so tight it was pitiful. Thanks!

Yes the scale number is just a number but I let that number get all the way up to 318! So I feel the number on my scale is very important. It's important I see 146 or close to that every morning so I don't get complacent and god forbid see 318 again.
-
I also weigh every morning. I'm always so surprised when people on here say it's unhealthy to do that. I would flip out if I weighed only once a week and my scale said I was up 10 lbs! My body wants to be fat so I must keep on top of it. I would rather be up a pound in the morning and deal with that then be up 10 and be freaked out on how to get it off.Good luck with your tummy tuck!

When did you have sleeve surgery?
-
I started at 318 and I'm now 146. Yes be prepared for a tummy tuck. I had one 7 weeks ago.

I finally get it; I have to live without carbs.
Michellemo replied to Cindy Martin's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I eat very few carbs. Some days I probably don't have any. Some days I eat a few more. I find the more carbs I eat the more cravings I have so why bother? -
Where does milk fit in?
Michellemo replied to luckypants's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I don't drink milk any more. I don't want to waste calories on milk. -
I would have a excuse ready like a you are taking a friend for surgery and you can't back out because she has no one else to take her. If she arrives a few days after surgery just tell her you hurt your back and also have the flu. That's what I told everyone and they all believed it. It explained why I was getting around very slowly and why I wasn't really eating. Not one person suspected a thing.

Michellemo replied to TheRealMeIsHere!'s topic in Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery
That's awesome! Had my tt 7 weeks ago and couldn't be happier! Good luck! -
Do I have to keep a food diary?
Michellemo replied to Ree's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm almost 14 months out and I sometimes keep track of what I'm eating. Usually when I track my food it's to make sure I'm eating enough. I only track maybe once every 2 weeks. -

Michellemo replied to Terry H.'s topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I'm almost 14 months out and I love hearing success stories from people that are further out then me. It seems lately I've read more from people gaining and struggling with their weight so thanks for posting! I have had no issues so far and reading your post gives me hope that I won't! -
