When your sports bra is loose on you, when you cross your legs.

I also use it in my protein shakes. I use unsweetened kind, only 60 cals per cup. I actually only use half a cup of it and half a cup if water so I don't add a lot of calories to my shakes. Makes them creamier.

What time frame did it take to drop to 118? I started off at 250 lbs and I am currently weighing 174. A huge accomplishment, but I am still clinically obese. Just wanted to see where I stand I am 9 mo post op sleeve

I juice on and off. I got recipes from Pinterest boards. Rule of thumb is lots of veggies and a little bit of fruit to sweeten it up. My favorite is spinach or kale, carrots, celery, cucumber, an apple or pineapple (small amount) and a pinch of ginger. Very satisfying, very good, and I feel wonderful when I juice. I don't do it for every meal. Maybe as breakfast or lunch as a meal replacement.

Thanks! I'm actually using that protein too.

As anyone tried the system body by vi? It consists of shakes, cereal, etc. One of my friends is pushing the product so I am interested, but is it a scam? If someone forces a product down my throat I tend to resist and wonder why they are promoting it so much. Maybe because they are selling it? Is it just protein shakes? I am 9 months post op gastric sleeve, down 76 lbs, but I still have another 30 to go. Any feedback would be much appreciated.

Half way to my goal! My weight is 176 today. *happy dance*

CW 180 GW 170. I can do it!!

I have a shooting star on my foot, moon and stars on my back, heart, skull, and stars on my upper back, sunset and doves with the name "Lisa" in my arm (for my sister who passed away in 2010), and "sisters" tattood on my wrist. Can't wait to get my next one.

I kept it a secret until I had my surgery date and there was no turning back. I did my research and when my parents had their doubts, I had the knowledge to back up my decision. Ultimately they are just wanting to protect me as their child (even though I'm 32 lol). I would do the same for my daughter. I had my surgery as planned, only told my husband,my step daughter, and my parents. After the surgery I told my friends and family. When they saw my happiness and success, my parents supported my decision. Do it for YOU. It's your happiness and health.

Congrats! I am now shopping in non plus size stores too. I just bought a few bras at Victoria secret and black heart (stores I dreamed of but could not fit into) and I bought my first size medium top at the Gap!!! No more plus size for me. I also would recommend pants at American eagle. I like the high waisted jeggings.

I'm local! Border of OC and LA county. I'm 8 months post op. Down 70lbs. HW: 250 CW: 180

I had the gastric sleeve in April and I did lose some hair. It has stopped and growing back. Luckily I had a lot of hair to start with. Now I just have annoying baby hairs. My teeth and gums had no change. My heart is in better health since I am down 70 lbs and now not in danger due to obesity. Losing some of my hair was a small price to pay for a healthier me. Also, you don't lose hair to the point where it's noticeable. My hair just thinned but I wasn't bald.

Yes you will lose hair around month 4 post op. It stops about month 7 post op. I have a ton of baby hairs now which means my hair is growing back! Take biotin. I also use Aveda Invati hair system. It helps.

Never got an email but finally discovered the switch through my notifications and the app wouldn't load. I tried logging in with my old account info... Nothing. Had my password reset twice and both times it said incorrect password. Sent an email to resolve the problem... Nothing. So I have a new account. Lost all my info.
