I have done intermittant fasting. My recommendation is to WAIT. I used it to get the last 10# off, at which point I was well over a year post op. i would be concerned that you can't get enough...
Anecdotally is year 3 is where things get rough. I didn’t have any regain until about 5 years post op, but year 3 was when things got real. Having said that, I am 25 pounds or so my "hot" weight,...
6 years out - still have a bit of a fear of failure! You have lots of company.
So glad you have found so much success and are over all of your complications!!
I am interested in how they treated your LA grade C esphogitis - I am over 6 years post sleeve and was just...
Did they mention why they are against Premier? I have been told by multiple docs and NUTS that it is considered a good quality supplement.
I also think that Syntrax Matrix is tasty - but it is...
6 years out - eating to absence of hunger (not "full"), avoiding grazing and emotional eating, and diligence about WHAT to consume are keys (lots of water, protein first, minimal junk/alcohol). I...
Dr Sauceda, his primary nurse Patty - and really the whole crew are wonderful. He is not as aggressive as some other surgeons i think. It goes back to research - no way I could have had so much...
I went to Dr Sauceda in Monterrey Mexico. First visit, outstanding success with a jumbo procedure - LBL, breast lift/aug, arms and little removal of inner thigh cellulite. A few years later I had...
My surgery was technically outpatient - although I did stay the night at the surgical center due to my sleep apnea. I also gained 10 pounds - they pumped me up with fluids knowing that I would have...
I am 6 years post op - in my experience, massive weight loss is a headtrip. Mostly for the person losing the weight, but same for others around. I never got to a "low"BMI - at 5'5"my friends were...
I am like 6 years post op - so these are distant memories for me, but I want to share a few tidbits I learned.
1. Acid often feels like hunger; many people have lots of excess acid the first...
I have to admit - my first few months post op were very emotionally.... odd. I felt a sense of emptiness, a sense of not being myself. My sense of taste went sideways, so even when I could eat food,...
I had major skin removal in Mexico with Dr Sauceda. I was very happy with process and results!
Do a lot of research. Of all the procedures done, thighs were the poorest results - like some of...
First 6 weeks are so your nerves may not be working correctly - I couldn't really tell what I felt. Once the initial swelling went down, combined with eating the softfood, it was hard to tell if...
6 weeks off' some can get by with 4 for lower body lift - it's a bigger deal than tummy tuck.
Congrats!
My 5 year mark is December 11 this year! It's been amazing, my life has been transformed by losing about half my former size!
My surgery was December 2011, so I am speaking more about longer term, not focused on the first few weeks post op.
know everyone's experience is different, but I do have a few questions for you...
I am 4 1/2 years post sleeve. I went from over 300#/BMI of around 52 and now maintaining a healthy/normal weight and wear single digit clothing sizes. I am half my former size.
What you are...
I don't think there are hard and fast shoulds and should nots.... it is more like what supports your personal goals the best? I had to lose ALOT of weight and I didn't want to stall out before I got...
I was sleeved nearly 5 years ago and continue to enjoy weight management success!
This article might be a good read for you - just published a few days ago...
I am nearly 5 years post op and my tolerance and desire for spicy food is way reduced. I used to love spicy thai food for example, and i just don't care for it much anymore. Strange isn't it?
Please don't be discouraged by all this. I have maintained (approximately) 150# loss for over 3 years now!!!! I have been obese or overweight my whole life, so in spite of this ongoing "challenge"...
My surgery was Dec 2011, I hit goal in Feb 2013 (lost 150#) and I am about 5# over goal right now; I used to be under goal. I think this is a fairly normal thing. I continually have to work off...
i have no experience with the complications - but I do have experience with not being able to handle plain water!
What worked for me was to drink alot of herbal tea, warm, not too hot. Herbal...
I think body body fat percentage is a much better indicator.
