Hi everyone, Hard to believe it has been a year since my surgery. Starting wt 295 current wt 175. I too would like to lose about 15 more pounds, but as my surgeon said that I only lost 120 lbs. He told me not to lose much more. Now it is the skin issue. I have had breast cancer and had bilateral mastectomy and need to have some fine tuning of the implants. The plastic surgeon and I talked about skin removal., now comes the battle with insurance. The sleeve was the best decision I ever made for myself. I bought a pair of skinny jeans yesterday a size 14 L. I have not been in a 14 for I don't know how long. I love the end of the month sale at Dillards when you get an additional 40% sale items. God luck everyone

Sleeved 9/23 down over 120 lbs. 295 to 175. Best decision I ever made for myself. No retreats

Thank you fr all of the suggestions.

Thank you, I will try the prrunes. I have tried miralax but don't like the texture.

I have a question. I was sleeved in September. Has anyone else had trouble with constipation? I have been taking 3 stool softners a day. I have a BM every 3 or so days. I always had a BM daily before surgery. Anyone else having trouble? Thanks

So excited went for my 6 moo follow up this week and I am down 100 lbs. Yea

My surgeon recommends papaya

I went and saw my oncologist last week and when he came into the room he told me he was so glad that I had had the sleeve. When he saw me in the hall he told me he was starting to think what tests to run because of my weight loss. I also battled breast cancer the last year.

Thank you , Thank you for the info on the gummy fuber. I have had the same problem. My appt is tomorrow but I am going out tonight and getting the gummys.

Checking in, I was sleeved 9/24 and am doing great though still trying to figure out the food. I know it takes awhile. It is hard for me to get all the liquid in. That is goal this week.

I was nervous at first also. I was sleeved 9/24/14 and I feel better and have more energy.

I have tried chicken, it was very moist and I did okay with it. I have been advancing my diet. I have been craving sweets.

I was sleeved on 9/24 and I am having terrible food cravings. Is anyone else having trouble with this?

Went to my 1 week follow up today and passed with flying colors. Back to work Monday. i am down 25 lbs and BMI is down 5 points. Wow. Still having trouble with GI gas. I started some probiotics today. I hope that will help. I have taken them in the past and hope they help. Today I ate about 3 bites of scrambled eggs with cheese and mashed potatoes. I had not idea anything would taste so good. Got the 3 week plateau lecture today from the doctor. He said to just be tough and push through it.

I like the premier also. I think alot of the shakes are chalky and it is not

My gas is not from the surgery, it is more in the GI tract.

I had surgery on 9/24. The gas is the worse pain. Trying to get the fluid in. Walking has helped some with the gas.

Where do we find Weight Loss University? Thanks

Annista, i had the same thoughts, I lost 16 lbs, but i know I wold ot be able to stay on the liquid diet. You are making the right decision. Good luck.
