Girl get the them titties lifted if you want to! Age ain't nothing but a number!

Tomato Soup (read the labels for a lower calorie one) or chicken broth. Unjury makes chicken flavored Protein Powder. That, mixed in chicken broth, got me through.

Yes, but what do I put it in??

For anyone and everyone who has, is, or will experience a stall, here is Dr. A. answering a couple of points about them:

Yeah I'm definitely going to need the Leonardo Da Vinci of surgeons to fix this Picasso of a body once I'm done molding it as best I can. 🤣 You did an amazing job sis! Thanks So much for sharing with us!

How about people who just won't call their surgeons office with questions? You trusted these people to reconfigure some of your most important parts, but you won't ask them a question?

Pics or it didn't happen <,<

Congrats! Great knockers! You look amazing!

Ahhh, you got the reference! XD I love dragons and all kinds of fantasy creatures, and I couldn't pass up on the twist for that name!

Not to mention many of the people that attend shul, mosque, or church were probably at the bar on Saturday night 🤣

I don't know how much he weighed sis but it sounds to me you've just dropped a **** ton of excess weight in only 7 days after surgery! Time to celebrate!

Oooooooooooooooo, very nice! I'm reconsidering implants w/ lift now!

My weight finally stabilized around 145 (original goal weight), so I went forward with surgery for a breast lift with implants (Dr. Ciaravino in Houston is amazing). I lost 72 lbs total after the sleeve but added approximately 1.5 lbs of implants (Mentor MemoryGel Smooth Round High Profile 350cc). I cry when I see these photos side by side. I got sleeved on 2/28/2018 and got these boobs 9 months later on 11/30/2018. What a year.

 

I have a heap of friends that are sleeved. Most of them lost a lot of weight initially. About 3 of those are still at goal or close. A number of them have regained a bit. I have 1 friend that lost hardly anything and is now fatter than she was before she got it, her husband who lost a heap has now also regained a lot. Those friends that were band to sleeve don’t seem to have achieved the low weight goals they wanted to but have not regained to preband weight so they are happy.

You will get out what you put in. If you expect it to be a miracle solution it isn’t.

Practice exactly what you are going to say to him when he tries to slither back into your bed. It will happen at some point. Even if you never actually say it to preserve your co-parenting. You could say, sorry I only go to bed with men who work out/ have a full head of hair/ good teeth... whatever his Achille's tendon is.

Sorry if I'd been on call that night I would have been pissed. Off. Royally. Would not have said a word outside my head, but inside? Baaaaby! A terrible place to be indeed!

If you remove the WLS from this post you are talking about Social Media in general and our current culture. Self selecting for the only the outcomes we agree with.
So much truth in that post

I think this is something to keep in mind (like really keeping in the mind): "self-selecting success group", especially when it comes to the old timers.
How many not-successful old timers are there writing regularly on the boards? Not many, if any.
Sometimes someone with regain after several years of having WLS pops up but they never seem to stick around for long, only for a few posts (and I can absolutely understand why they don't want to hang around).

Your psychologist is correct, and also being responsible in telling you that 60% of excess weight is the average expectancy. She’s also not a “beeyotch” - she’s a medical professional allowing you to make a factual decision based on statistics. If it doesn’t match with your expectations, then re-examine your expectations because those are the facts. Basing expectations on hope or aspirations is not a winning strategy.
Many of us here have lost that 60% or more. We’re a self-selecting success group and overrespresent in the bariatric pool, since those who didn’t lose what they expected are less likely to spend much time in a community like this one. Similarly, the “this is how you achieve 60%+ loss” advice is coming from that same biased pool, which might indicate correlation rather than causation. Not saying the advice is wrong, just that it’s not foolproof.
If the 60% metric is actually changing the way you think about the surgery, then it’s a good thing you heard it now.
