You will get used to it eventually, especially after you have over eaten and thrown up about a thousand times. I am almost two years out and I still over eat and throw up once in a while. I am...

Best of luck to you! How fantastic to have a partner in your home going through the same thing as you. This site is a great help but it would have been nice to have someone at home who knew what I...

Thanks for the well wishes. Insurance didn't pay for the surgery but they did cover lab work and prescriptions (I have Kaiser). I had my sleeve in Mexico but I didn't want to be away from home for...

I have finally completed my sleeve journey today. Had a tummy tuck and breast augmentation and I am now parked in the recliner. I have 2 set of drain tubes and went home with a catheter. Also have...

I have lost 95lbs and have puckered/saggy skin on my lower belly from the stretch marks and by boobs (which were tiny to begin with) have completely disappeared. I also have some pretty ugly bat...

I'm a year out and I can gulp and drink almost as a normal person. If you can tolerate/trade 4-6 weeks of total hell for a lifetime of being healthy and thin then go for it, if you are not willing to...

Best of luck to you! Sounds like you have worked really hard to get where you are and you deserve to have the cherry on top! I am having plastics done in October as well. Tummy tuck and boobs, so we...

Every day for about two weeks I wondered why the hell did I put myself through this...and I can't even really have regrets because once its done its permanent. After you start getting real food...

I would go with the IUD. I had one implanted a year ago and now barely have a period at all (2 light days) no cramps or mood swings and it lasts 5 years. Only downside, may be TMI, but sometimes my...

I have coffee every day. A large latte with non fat milk. I get my protein in the milk and coffee for me! For a treat I put sugar free vanilla or hazelnut syrup for something sweet.

I am 7+ months out and I still have almost constant noises coming from my stomach. It was worse the first few months but it still goes on.

I think it depends on how overweight you are and your age. The younger you are the more likely your skin will reduce nicely. I'm 41 and only have loose skin on my lower belly where my stretch marks...

My weakness is double stuffed OREO's. I would eat two rows of them and hide the package under my bed and sneak them the rest of the day until they were all gone. The next day I would suffer with...

When I eat too fast or eat really dry food like chicken breast or steak without any sauce or dry rice it gets "stuck" in my esophagus. This may be a similar sensation as dumping. When this happens...

I told people at work that I had "female" problems that needed to be corrected...At that point there were no further questions. Most people don't want to know anything more when you tell them that....

I go thru this a least once or twice a week. Sometimes I just end up not eating at all or a piece of cheese or scrambled egg just to have something. It's weird some times foods that I used to love...

You can still enjoy a glass of wine after work....just don't over indulge. 3-4 weeks after surgery, alcohol isn't a problem. I am 4months out and I pretty much eat and drink whatever I want and I...
