@bellabloom you look beautiful!

There is a woman on here with the name Jamie logic (i think that's the spelling). She had tummy tuck, regained the weight and had sleeve some years later. She is happy with her stomach still (i believe). Look her up.

Can't see the photos only two of them

Your profile pic look great! What was the cost for your procedures? Do you have before and after pics?

Congratulations! You look great! I just had my 1 year anniversary too. Sadly, I didn't make my goal....27 lbs Away. I feel like I can eat way too much now. How many ounces do you eat now? Do you weigh or measure your food...still confused about that.

Hi, I was sleeved Feb. 23rd 2016 and have had very slow progress too. Lost 62 lbs since sleeve and 70 since January 2017.

I had trouble getting the Protein in at the beginning also. I couldn't do Protein shakes (they made me too full). Instead, I use unjury Protein powder with 8 oz of Unsweetened Soy milk (strawberry Sorbet is the one I like...but they have vanilla, chocolate, & Soup. They can send you a sample pack so you can try them). That 8 oz gives me 27 grams of Protein & 8 oz of Water. The powder is lighter than others and some days I drank 2 of them...just to try to get my protein up. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I'm so glad I did it to. I'm down 58 lbs (52 since surgery). I'm losing slow but not shocked as I can eat more (than I think I should), and while not stuffing myself...not enough veggies and too much sugar. I have been exercising about half the time I probably can eat about half of what I could before. Grateful, but I thought I would be able to eat much less. I'm down from an 18/20 to a solid 14 i. Clothes, much happier with that. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

So angry and sad. I'm recovering from a total hysterctomy and preparing to have sleeve surgery in 4 weeks, on Feb. 23rd. My husband (new I might add, just married over a year) has been brutal towards me because of my weight gain overthe last year and half. I gained 70 lbs (again, after losing 50). This was the last time I was going to go through this. I had to gain 10 lbs to have the surgery, and I did. It was great! For the first time, I ate what I Wanted...with no guilt. I have continued to eat some healthy things and some not healthy things. And he has insulted, put me down, told me he doesn't want a fat wife...and on and on. Today I woke up sick, with a headache, but feeling good about my body. I have lost 10 lbs after this last surgery. I thought, hey! I'm looking better. I then walked in his office to him looking disgusted, telling me I had a headache because I ate some starbursts...and essentially telling me he wasn't going to buy me any junk food. I need to be on "His plan". And he is angry at me for gainig weight, and not being an obedient wife. I was hurt, sad, enraged, and just sick of it. I have battled my body for over 25 years, and I know this descion to have the sleeve is right, no matter what he says. It just hurts to know that the man I married, has let me know...he doesn't love me for me. He obviously married me for what I looked like. I told him tonight that I hate him, and wished I never married him. He is a preacher, and so good to other people. But, horrible to me. It sickenss me. With bad health, and am not supporting myself. I can't leave. I feel trapped with no support or family near me. Just wanted to vent. Also, I'm a Christian and a praying person. Please pray for healing from this surgery, and healing and help through the sleeve Surgery. Thanks

Congratulations on the weight loss! I have been losing hair too (it's pretty common unfortunately). Go combat jt, I have increased my protein to a minimum of 80 grams (usually closer to 90-100), also take Nature Made dissolving Biotin & Vitamin C (from walmart),my Vitamins, and I just got a B-12 shot. Some people also suggest using biotin shampoo. As far aa the weight loss, I have lost 46 lbs and my surgeon said that's a good loss. It seems we are all around 40-50 lb. I too have hit a hard stall, but I think my calories are to high, and my carbs. Also, I haven't been working for a while. Maybe take a look at those things, and just keep the faith!

You look GREAT! And SO happy! I have lost right around the same. It does feel good to be down. How much can you eat now (and calories). I feel like I can eat too much. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Yadie2006 how are you? I'v been thinking about you and wondering how things are. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Hello All, Hope everyone is well. I'm doing OK....down about 46 lbs. I am very grateful to be thinner, and to finally have clothes to wear. However, I feel like I can eat WAY too much, and I am hungry all the time (for being this early out). I had concerns that my surgeon left my stomach too big from the start, and I'm struggling to keep my calories down. This wasn't something I expected. I guess I am one of the ones that never gets the break from constant hunger, and I kind of feel like it's back to the dieting days. The good news is, at least I'm not gaining weight and I have lost. I just fear what it will be like in 8 months, if it's this hard now. How are you all doing? How is the weight loss and food (calories going?

I'm sorry to hear this. I've wondered how you've been. What does the Dr. say about this? Are you able to drink Protein drinks? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

My husband was very unhappy with my weight and at the same time...TOTALLY against the surgery. I am 7 1/2 weeks post op...and I am SO glad I had the sleeve. It was not an easy 2 months for me, but to begin to feel lighter and better in my body...is priceless. My husband is very happy with the results, even though he still won't admit it was a good choice to have surgery. He feels that diet and exercise with self control should be all you need (even though he has a perfect body and never struggled with weight). I have had to diet and exercise A LOT for the weight to come off (and always will have to, even with a sleeve). The only people who say it's the easy way out, are those who haven't gone through it. By the time I had surgery, I had struggled for 20 years gaining and losing. Never keeping it off. I did it for myself, and my health. So glad I did. Pray about what's right for you.

Oh my! I'm so glad you're OK. Have you had a seizure before? Was it solely from not drinking Water? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App @@Bluesky1 I've never had a seizure before, I guess there's a first time for everything! I just hope it never happens again Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using Tapatalk I'm sure it was scary. Hopefully you're getting more water in. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
