    Re: 7 Month Update :)

    Brian, you are dealing with personal lifestyle choices now, the mental part of the battle. The part that the sleeve cannot fix, unfortunately.

    These ideas may sound too easy, but they works for...

    Re: Cat's out of the bag!

    Be proud of yourself, Sunflower. You took the initiative to do something about your health. Sometimes, the biggest stigma attached to WLS is the one we attach to it ourselves, for ourselves. We tend...

    Re: FAT Pictures!

    I create the chart in Excel. Then I make a screen shot of it, crop and resize the picture to fit, and upload it to my personal website. Then I put a URL link to it in my signature on the forum here....

    Re: FAT Pictures!

    For some reason we can really get blind to our weight and how we look. I imagine it is rationalization? For example, the "before" picture in my signature below. At the time I saw it not long after...

    Re: will boobs get smaller?!?!

    For me, breasts and tummy were two places where the weight came off more slowly than any other parts. These were the last two areas that were "hanging on" to the weight. I am now finished losing...
  6. Re: First pre-op diet and I'm so hungry, I'm miserable

    The liquid diet I had to follow was the worst part of the entire process for me. I am one year out from surgery now and I remember the liquid diet like it was yesterday. I was so hungry it was...
  7. Re: So, I'll be having 3/4 of my stomach removed on 11/8.....Nothing to see here

    After 5-7 months you will be able to eat just about anything, albeit in smaller amounts. That's why the surgery is only a tool. You have to change your eating habits (the mental part). If you want to...

    Re: Am I Worrying For NO Reason?!

    Go to the top left of the page where it says "Search the Forum" and type in "Pouch Test" - you will find a lot of information and discussions about the 5-day pouch test, which basically is just an...
  9. Re: I couldn't resist posting this for all post ops

    I guess you are talking to me, since I have a "before and after" picture in my signature? Thank you!! OMG, I feel energetic, I don't hurt anymore and I am actually enjoying exercise.

    I want to...

    Re: getting closer

    The pre-op diet was the worst part of the whole process for me. I was hungry enough to take a bite out of my arm all the time. Just keep your mind busy doing other things when you get hungry, drink...

  12. Re: does age make a difference with how fast u lose weight after getting sleeved?

    Everyone's metabolism slows down as they age, so for most folks losing weight goes slower as you get older. However you can quicken the weight loss by following all the guidelines we discuss on this...

    Re: Taste change

    It has only been 5 days since your surgery - it is too early to worry about protein yet. Right now you must focus on getting enough liquids. Find things you can tolerate and sip, sip, sip all day...

    Re: 6 months post - up

    I would suggest not scheduling surgery until you stop changing sizes, which may be *more* than a year out. You will actually keep changing sizes after you have mostly stopped losing weight. For...
  15. Re: Why do I need to continue to see my surgeon?

    No kidding, I saw my OBGYN twice after getting out of the hospital post-hysterectomy (non-laproscopic, ouch). The first was a two week post-op checkup, the other was to ensure everyone was okay for...

    Hi Dr. Kelly! You need a picture on your profile. :)
  17. Re: Why do I need to continue to see my surgeon?

    Well, it drives up the cost of ALL of our insurance premiums. It would be short-sighted to think that if it doesn't drive up the cost of my own personal insurance premium noticeably, then it is okay....
  18. Re: Why do I need to continue to see my surgeon?

    Would someone please post the list of the lab work that should be done? My PCP said he knows which ones we need to review, but I just want to double check that.

    Re: Seeking a good "come back"

    Some people (myself included) get tired of answering the questions again and again. If you get into the habit of telling people how much, then they will always want to know. And it's usually not just...

    People are nosy as hell. Some can't think of anything more intelligent to discuss than your weight loss progress. Yack!

    Re: Seeking a good "come back"

    If you don't want to answer the questions, don't! You could ignore, or let them know you will send an update once a month or two, send them to your blog page, etc. This is why I did not tell people -...

    Re: Average weight lost per month

    Check out my chart below.

    The more you have to lose, the faster it seems to go. That is what I have seen from members of this forum.

    Re: Daily Exercise-You Getting Any?

    You are doing awesome, Dana! That's where I was a few months ago, but now I am averaging over 5 mph (about 11:45 min/mi) and did my first 5K last month. I'm almost ready for a 10K. :D As you lose...

    Re: Hear me out when I say this...

    DavidNM, a lot of people fail at WLS, whether it is the bypass or sleeve. We don't see them on this forum often, because when people are not losing or even gaining, they often avoid the forum. We...
