Intake calcium , a women's one a day, B12 every other day, I also put a scoop of Vital Protiens Collagen Peptides in my coffee in the morning. That helps with hair, skin and nails-I started it mostly for my hair loss and also it keeps me "regular" as far as restroom. Once I had the surgery I would only go the rr every three days. Since starting this one scoop a day in my coffee I go the rr every day once a day. Been doing the collagen for just under a month. Anyways this is what I'm doing. Still losing hair but hoping that stops soon.

My heart breaks for you and your family. May God bless you and hold you and your family during this terrible time.

Me three!!

Ha! I had my sleeve on July 23rd too!

Abbey. How are you doing?

Oh I see

Did they say why it took so long for your surgery??!😳

Hello all! I was sleeved July 23rd. Weight loss for me has slowed down here lately too. I still see it go down just not as fast as it was. Starting weight was 238. Pre op weight 221 and currently I am 165. My goal is 135. I'm only 5'4 1/2. I'm not a breakfast person so I drink a Premier Protein Chocolate shake over ice in the morning. LOVE LOVE LOVE IT. My weakness is sugar in the evenings...particularly skittles🙄 Working on cutting back on that. I know the honeymoon phase is almost over so I need to get that in check and start working out regularly. My bum has become flat (which I'm happy about seeing as I've always had a big bum) but bc I don't have muscle back there from not working out and losing weight it hurts to sit bc of my now boney tailbone. Anyone else have that?? Need to get to the gym and work on that.

I've never tried jicama....what does it taste like? Bitter? Sweet? I'm going to grab some of those this weekend!! Thanks!!

Hey Abbey/it's actually Kristin. A lot of my friends call me Kris so I used that as my name tag on this. The incision by your ribs is where the liver retractor was. I'm guessing the pain you're feeling is not from the incision but from the gas. I had a lot of gas pain afterwards. Other than the gas pain it was a relatively easy recovery for me. With the gas keep taking those full deep breaths and keep walking around to help move that air on out. I'm so glad everything went well for you!!

I still have my sweet tooth unfortunately!!! I was hoping that would go away! I've always struggled w resisting sweets. Hoping it won't be my down fall downthe road.

Hey how did you do today!?!

That looks really good. What is Matcha? A brand of yogurt or something you added to it?

Got it!

But how do you quote it?

@GreenTealael Question for you...I'm still new to this website and trying to figure some stuff out still. How do you comment on a specific pic?

Have y'all heard of CauliPower Pizza? I live in Texas and they sell it in the freezer section down here (HEB). So if your wanting a pizza fix this one was pretty good. I could only eat a small slice but def gave me a pizza when having that urge. I want to send the pic of the box but it wants me to allow this website access to all my photos?!

Try a cucumber(English-less gas) w chicken breast and a little bit of ranch. So good!! I put a small amount of ranch on the side and dip sometimes...sometimes not. Good w or without

Thank you!! The real work for me is the mental side of it but I'm a work in progress. You will be there very soon!!!

You will do great. My favorite thing is my clothes getting so baggy. Start weight was 238. Day of surgery was 221 and currently I'm 167. Goal is 135-140. Hell I'm just glad to be in the, as someone else put it in "1-derland". Been a long time since I had seen the 100s!

I also had a hiatal hernia repair as well.

It is!! Think my surgery was like 45 min long.

You are not alone. I've eaten plenty I wasn't suppose to but you have to just restart the next meal and make a better choice. I feel like occasional slips are going to happen. You're human. Don't be so hard on yourself. It's a learning process.

Are you sleeving or banding?
