  1. Is that blackheads like to grow within the wrinkle of the loose skin... No matter how much I clean my body, it’s just appears. Good news, I have collarbones! Highest weight: 360 Surgery Weight: 339 Current Weight: 274 Date of surgery: June 6th, 2017 I don’t mind if I am losing slowly, it should help the elasticity of my skin go back to normal (I’m still young, only 26.)

    Hair loss

    I had my surgery in June, I’ve noticed my small clumps of my hair coming out, my fiancé and I looked and we haven’t found any bald spots and I have fair hair.

    Feeling nausea before eating?

    Hey, I had my surgery 06/06/17 and I was feeling fine then. Now when I wake up and don't eat solids for an hour (Focusing on protein shakes) I will get nauseas to the point of being very close to puking on an empty stomach, even if I don't eat for an hour. Does anybody have this? It has made me feel very clammy before too.

    Feeling nausea before eating?

    I am usually either getting ready for the day or running to get my mail from my parent's place once I wake up. I eat when I grab food from places or come home and fix up food. I try to drink my protein shakes first, though even if I drink my protein shakes and don't eat solids as I am full from the shakes, it still makes me nauseous for some reason.

    Stomach pain at 6 weeks out?

    Hello, I had surgery June 6th, and I just vomited for the first time after surgery and now I have pin-needle like pain in my stomach area. Does that happen with others who puke? Is this normal? I puked because I had shredded chicken with too much mayo made by my mom while at work. I can't take anything from work for the pain, they only got aspirin. I also have the incision near my belly button that will not fully heal, there is a small deep hole that gushes fluids out. I dunno if it is related to it. Here is a picture of it. Let me know what you think. here is with the bandaid from my PC doctor (Primary Care) the fluid kept coming out and I didn't know if it was even good for the wound to be covered by the fluid so I took it off after 2 days.

    Numbness?

    4 weeks ago, I had vsg. Since then, I have noticed the section above my belly button is numb. Is there anybody else who has that problem? Like a numb nerve? Right on the left of it is a incision. Or that they accidentally cut a nerve?
  8. The incisions have got more tender after the glue and scans are coming off by themselves and I have sciatica in my right leg that is like lightening pain. Just why... I did a bad thing a cheated a little tiny bit on my full liquid diet with a few solids because I wanted to see what certain things tasted like now. My dumbass did it, yet my stomach didn't hurt or get upset. I got sleeved on the 6th and right after, I went straight back on the liquid diet. I am a dumbass and messed up, I know I messed up and went straight back to the full liquid. The 20th is my first follow up and I am ready for purée/mushy food. I have lost 35lbs in total from a month before surgery and after surgery. I have been playing with my nephew a lot (Only if sciatica doesn't stop me.) Sneezing is not my friend with these incisions. Only know difference of where I lost weight at is my boobs, thighs, hips, my face got slimmer and my stomach jiggles a lot.

    What should I get from Chipotle?

    Been looking up calories, carbs and protein intake from the burrito bowl at Chipotle. My first day back to work (I work at a fast food place, so nothing I can really eat there.) And I got the okay to go swimming recently, so I have been swimming while playing with kids in the pool. (Tossing a hair clip in the pool and diving to grab it.) was one way to work out in the pool. But it did leave me dizzy a bit! When I got out, the young adults next to me (I am 26, but I know I was a few years older so I feel old.) were talking about BBQ. I was so into that idea, but for a possible healthier way of eating, was thinking burrito bowl. But I dunno what I should have with it. I know no rice but the Guacamole is seducing me. What do you usually get for the burrito bowl? I cheated a bit on the fourth with some desserts. I have no regrets, but I am back on where I need to be with healthy eating. I am also 5 weeks out, woot!

    Is this normal?

    It's hard for me not to weight myself in the morning and at night, I know you aren't supposed to. But either my scale is broken or... Last night it said I weight at 308.6, when I woke up before eating anything or taking anything, I was 313.8.... How? Is that part of a stall or something? I take my vitamins and have been taking in 80 grams of protein. I had experienced my first dumping syndrome, wasn't really that bad.

    What should I get from Chipotle?

    My fiancé and I don't have a grill, nor did we have gas money to drive to my parent's or grab the meat. XD So we were kind of stuck there. Next time though!

    Citric Question

    I know I can't have oranges, Pineapples and such. But is the popsicle flavor or any flavor of it okay? I know Orange juice is a no. I got Outlast popsicles and one of them is Tangerine. I am only 4 weeks out.

    Holy shit...

    I was stuck in a stall at 310lbs. I just finished my period today and peed. I lost water weight because I am now 292lbs at 4 weeks. My surgery weight is 339. I didn't think it would be like that. I was expecting like 20-30lbs the first month, not nearly 50lbs. Purple lipstick was a month before surgery. This the car one was just yesterday.

    See any difference?

    The one with Sailormoon shirt was taken last night. I have lost 20lbs since surgery on the 6th, 40lbs from before surgery.

    Is this normal?

    Periods suck, I am on mine. It better be water weight, enough for me to lose up to 297lbs after all the water weight. I am on week 4 of after surgery, and I have been losing enough quickly anyways. My surgery weight was 339.
  18. Iwanttofitinmyweddingdress

    See any difference?

    Thank you. I had to go home to my fiancé at some point, believe it was week 3 after surgery that I went back home from healing at my parent's place.

    Is this normal?

    Did anybody have diarrhea from the clear liquid diet the day before surgery? Story of my life right now.
  20. I had it done on the 6th, but when I got home, I had lost 10lbs. Been trying to walk more but my left leg is non-stop numb with lots of pain, yet I can feel muscles twanging when I move... It sucks. But I wish it would stop so I can walk comfortably. My weight has been fluctuating between 325-330. I forget what week it is that the weight truly melts off.
  21. Iwanttofitinmyweddingdress

    How long after surgery did you start to lose weight?

    Ahhh, okay thank you.

    Chipotle is life~

    I have 5 more days before I can eat some more things. (I think it is mushy food... So ready for solids again.) I saw a thing on Facebook with chipotle and it's bowl. I used to do the bowl and choose the healthier methods. Has anybody when eating solids are at Chipotle? It sounds good even right now.
  23. I had my sleeve on the 6th, and to me, it feels like I shouldn't drink too fast, and my mom is taking care of me while I am healing the first month. Is it okay to drink normally without drinking slowly? My mom keeps getting after me for not drinking enough water (I have, I just don't want to hurt myself with overfilling my stomach.) Has anybody have this worry? I also had tomato soup tonight, and had shredded cheese melted into it, it was chunky a bit but my stomach feels fine. Tell me your experience the first month.
  24. It has been itching a lot, I know itching is a sign of healing... but it has been elevated and I can't help that the pants I wear basically rubs against it a bit. I know the whole "Wait and call your doctor." But I have anxiety. That one was oozing on surgery day, though I was told that it is normal. I got dissolvable stitches and The purple skin glue. This one, is on my right side. I see a dark yellow to it but I don't know if that is also normal. The one I am talking about now is the small incision. Do they look okay? [emoji27]

    Need Help With Hesitation Before Surgery

    Hey, I was sleeved on June 6th recently. All I can say is be brace. At the hospital, ask for pain medicine when your gas pain because really uncomfortable. It will help you sleep better. Bring something to do while you are there, bring a travel pillow that goes around the neck. Drink warm tea before you go on walks around the hospital. Focus on the cute clothes you will be able to fit in, and how great you will look when you reach your goal. That was how my mindset is. When you get home, be active, treat yourself to a pedicure a few days after, and take good care of yourself. You will have a incision with a dent around it, that is where your stomach was taken out, it will bruise around it and will hurt the most out of all incisions. Don't take your pain meds unless you really need them. Have somebody beat you home from the hospital by an hour with prescriptions, get stool softner if it isn't prescribed. It will save your life. Just expect watery poop. They may send you home this breathing tool because of the anesthesia, you gotta suck the air and get it past a certain number, gotta do it so your lungs don't collapse and you get pneumonia. It will hurt to cough, put keep a huge long pillow on your side so it doesn't hurt so much when you cough. If you have anymore question, let me know.
