    Re: Almost 2 years out

    I usually go out to eat with my boyfriend, who knows that I had the procedure. Luckily he is a naturally light eater, so I don't look weird next to him. A couple of tricks I have though: stay away...

    Re: Most useful items

    Depending on where you get it done and whether you will have a roommate during recovery you may want earplugs. I wish I'd had them. Slippers that slide on, chapstick, gas-x strips. Icee pops (the...

    Almost 2 years out

    In a couple of weeks it will have been two years since I went to Dr. Almanza to change my life. Since then I have gone from 216 lbs. down to a low of 137 lbs, and now am resting at 144 lbs. I was...

    Re: Mexico Sleevers!

    I had Dr Almanza and would recommend him in a minute. He and his staff were friendly and helpful every step. He was personable when he came in before the surgery to introduce himself. Also, he...

    If you are worried about their reaction then PLEASE follow your instinct and don't tell them. People can be awful- they may judge you, be snarky and disrespectful and just downright mean. I told...

    Re: leak test...scary or no big deal?

    No big deal. It was unpleasant tasting, and I wasn't excited about leaving my recovery house to go do it, but it was relatively quick.

    Re: I don't love my sleeve

    I am 13 months out, and I felt the same way at first. I was worried... I couldn't even get a small greek yogurt down. Could barely get a cup of protein shake down. Just give it a little time- you...

    Re: stretched sleeve?

    It is perfectly normal to experience stalls, even as early as three months out. I am 10 months out, and the stalls are getting more frequent, and they last longer. Sometimes I think I am done losing...

    Re: Dream size?

    I am at 147 lbs, size 8 right now. My goal is about 135-140, size 6. Not sure I would look good smaller than that given my frame.

    Re: Weight loss and belly fat???

    Unfortunately where/how we lose is really dependent on our shape and genes. My mother is an "apple" so she carries weight around her middle like crazy. I am more hourglass, so have been blessed with...
  11. Re: The fallacy of never eating good food again!

    For me I have found that anything fried is likely to make me really nauseus, and also anything with a lot of sugar (had a mini-cupcake at work one day as a treat... mistake!). I certainly won't...

    Dear Dr. Almanza (a thank-you note)

    Dear Dr. Almanza,

    I cannot begin to tell you what your surgery has done for me. I can't thank you enough for the improvements in my life.
    I have lost 53 pounds since you operated on me in...

    Re: Are there any protein bars that don't suck?

    Let me correct myself- the Zone bars have 14 grams protein, not 10. I have had the Fudge Graham, Chocolate Mint, and PEanut Butter kinds. They are all delicious!

    Re: Are there any protein bars that don't suck?

    The Zone bars have a mint flavored one. It has around 200 calories. Don't know off-hand the carb count, but it satisfies with 7 grams fat. And tastes like a girl scout thin mint! For real! I am picky...

    Re: 17 months after my sleeve operation

    You look amazing! Thanks for sharing! And I had the issue with wearing too-big clothes as well. By the time I bought a size 10 I was already about to shrink out of it. The 12's I had been wearing...
  16. Re: Sleeved 12/20/11 and now starting to lose significantly more hair!

    I've been losing like crazy. My mother had gastric bypass 10 years ago, and she said she lost her hair like crazy too. From what I understand it is temporary. I hope so- every time I wash my hair it...
  17. Great site: real women post their pics with weight and size- great for body dysmorphia

    I have always had body dysmorphia issues. In middle school when I stopped eating my counselor had my mother trace my body on a giant paper with markers, and even then I refused to believe my size. I...

    I was excited to be able to wear skirts and dresses without the inner-thigh rub resulting in painful chafing. Now I can!

    I want to be able to wear shorts without them riding up in the middle. Not...
  20. Omigod! Made my weight for the Navy without having to have body fat measured! First time EVER!

    I had to do my weigh-in for my semi-annual fitness test this morning. Every six months they weigh me, tell me I weigh too much, and then use a measuring tape in front of god and everyone to measure...

    Re: FOR the LADIES!!! Birth Control!
