Breakthrough! Women 48 to 55 - MUST READ
Avery's Mom replied to BajanSleeve's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I have not had to take nay hormones, after going thru menopause in my late 40's. I probably wouldn't anyway due to high risk for breast cancer in my family. I do however take black cohosh for my hot flashes and have noticed it does not work as well as it used to. I am wondering if the sleeve is keeping e from absorbing it properly? -
LOL @ boobs! I too will be having those addressed, as I was a 44DDD prior to surgery.

How much weight loss in the first couple weeks?
Avery's Mom replied to jazlynvictoriaxo's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I have had steady losses but had my first gain this past week. I fear it is because I had Chinese this weekend lol don't worry, it fluctuates wildly at first! -
Must Haves from Walmart
Avery's Mom replied to carousel6372's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I buy most of my yogurt there because it is less expensive. the oikos triple zero greek is my life right now lol -
they told me the goal was to drop 5lbs, I lost 8 so I was good lol

Ok this topic is mostly for the ladies but I suppose the guys may have this issue as well. I live in sunny HUMID Florida. I seem to be struggling with constant moisture under the boobs, and in the groin area, resulting in rash/fungus/yeast....whatever you want to call it. I am the Queen of Gold Bond powder but it is not always enough. What is anyone else using that helps with this?

I can Cross my legs! I sat down to have a chat with a friend yesterday and just did it out of habit, like I used to.....and low and behold...I did it! It's the little things.

So has anyone noticed that the tone of their voice is different since surgery? I also had a hiatal hernia repair but not sure that would have made a difference? It is weird, like an octave higher than it was.

Preparing for 2 week liquid diet😬
Avery's Mom replied to jenifaoh's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I did not have to do full liquids, but two protein shakes a day and a small midday meal (4ozs). It is hard, but you can do diet juices, flavored waters, etc. -
LOL I gotta buy new undies soon! mine keep creeping down as I walk.

working out early on helps with the loose skin initially but if you lose a lot then plastic surgery is the only way to get rid of all of it. some insurances will cover it, but you must document any issues it is causing you so be sure to tell your doc if you have any skin irritations, fungus, chafing, etc. all that goes a long way towards getting it covered.

Leave Recovery Time After Surgery
Avery's Mom replied to Trellunit's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I could have gone back in a week but took two to be out for Christmas LOL -
DO NOT STRESS. Any weight loss is progress. We all lose at different rates. You are doing great!

well I am 52 and went thru menopause 4 yrs ago! thank you goddesssssssss lol I asked my surgeon and she said it is fairly common.
-
I am in week 9 post op. I noticed it almost immediately but thought it would go back to normal. I just figured it was irritation from tubes/anesthesia etc. I have always had a pretty masculine sounding voice, get called SIR on the phone all the time. it is def more feminine and mellow.
-
I am averaging 3lbs a week. I am ok with that. I figure slow and steady is going to give my skin time to catch up, as I was already seeing some sagging stuff I did not like lol
-
Did you like the therapist you saw prior to surgery? If so go back to see them. That is who I have seen. I too have a very emotional connection to food.
-
YES! that too! I can feel my butt bones on the chair now at the dinner table LOL not necessarily the tailbone but in each cheek. I have slept with a pillow between my knees for years due to lower back issues but now I need more padding between the knees LOL

Those nooks and Crannies

I have yet to fell actual hunger. cravings? HELL YES. but not actual hunger.
-
LOL me too @crunchy veggies lol especially green beans, I am from the south where we cook them ALL day lol
-
I immediately put at least half of what I order in a to go box. stick to apps or soups you can 'linger' over. it is about the fellowship of the meal to me and not the consumption of the food.
