Recommended Posts

Hello,

I love all my rainbow sleeves, but we know different races experience different issues. I was sleeve October 1. Started at the highest 260, surgery day 250 and currently 222. I did not have Major issues. Normal but my 2 month anniversary is December 1. The only thing I notice so far,hiccups when I'm full. My skin is looking great, hair cannot tell u cause I keep it braided and sewin(lol) I don't do beef or pork, chicken and turkey has been my friend. I stay on my period longer cuz I suffer from fibros. I will keep u guys updates.

Hello, I also suffer from Fibroids, I will be sleeved on Dec 16 2013. I wonder will the fibroids slow down my weight lost or will i have a hard time losing belly fat?

Hello All, can anyone recommend which brand of chewable vitamins that they are taking?

I'm taking optisource. They're $28 at Walgreens for a one month supply, however, you may be able to download a coupon for like $5 off from their website. You have to take four of them but they're orange flavored and actually taste ok.

Hi all! I've got my psych appt tomorrow morning! I'm ready to get it over with. Been going through some strong emotions anticipating how to handle the folks that will "change up" on me after I lose the weight. Did anyone treat you "nicer" or more like a lady when you lost? I really don't want to hold any grudges, but it's difficult to go from invisible to visible just bc of loosing weight. This does not include everyone of course. Is this the kind of stuff I should share at my appt tomorrow or is the focus more about if I'm mentally ready to change my eating habits?

People will treat you different. People will smile and speak to you. Last night I saw it. I have not nearly gotten down, I'm only two moths and notice. You cannot get wrapped up in other people when u going through this. You should concentrate on reason u are mentally ready to Change for a better healthy life just my opinion. Good luck!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
