    Congrats on your progress. How are you coming along. At 2.5 years out, I'm finding the hardest part is maintaining but I continue to work hard. I can now eat more at least a small saucer of food. I have to strive to make good choices. I've worked too hard to get to this point. Just sending you words of encouragement. I tell myself that eating the junk food does not make me nearly as happy as being healthy feels.

    Good luck on your journey im sure you have worked real hard too. Best of luck on your success

  10. Hi I'm a new sleever! Had a few complications but was released from the hospital yesterday, after having two hiatal hernia repairs. On another note, I am hungry has anyone experienced this and what should I do at this point.

    How is everything for you? I know we got surgery the same day. I came home yesterday. It's hard to get all the fluids and protein in. I live with a hot pad on my tummy and it helps a lot!
  15. Praying for a quick and speedy recovery! Please keep us updated.

Hello my fellow sleevers - I had 5 trigger point injections last month for rheumatoid arthritis. I have been eating all day for the past 3 weeks seemingly nonstop and can now eat and drink at the same time. Have I stretched my pouch, is this temporary, please help.

3 pounds to goal weight

by 5stars on 03-27-2014 at 12:05 PM
Hey friends,
What is the trick to getting the last 5 pounds off? My weight is moving back and forth between 133 and 135. I am walking at least 3 times per day but have not reached that mark. Any advice?

Sagging skin / options

by 5stars on 02-25-2014 at 02:22 PM
Hi all I am just under one year (March 1) of having the gastric sleeve surgery. I am happy with my weight loss especially since going from 227 to 135, but very disappointed with all the sagging skin on my arms, thighs, and stomach and not to mention my breasts look like two empty stockings. Any suggestions on surgery - mommy makeover or body lift?

Hair loss

by 5stars on 09-06-2013 at 02:11 PM
I am six months postop and noticed the past few months that my naturally thin hair is thinning to the point it comes out in the comb and brush. I need desperately for someone to offer suggestions for getting this hair to growing again. I try to get in the recommended amount of protein but it is not helping.

What to eat four weeks post op?

by 5stars on 04-02-2013 at 10:44 AM
I am having a hard time trying to figure out what I should be eating at this stage. Last week, the doctor said to begin soft diet and progress as tolerated. I have been eating soft fish (steamed Talapia, broccoli, okra, tomatoes, etc) and not seemingly getting in enough proteins and water. I seem to have also stalled on weight loss as i am not losing weekly... any suggestions?
