  1. Re: People drifting away from the forum after surgery?

    I come on here rarely mostly because my sleeve is no longer my main focus anymore like it was the first year. Now my focus has moved to a PS board as that's where my goal is. I do find myself...

    Re: Rant from an old timer...

    I feel you Jewel!

    I had a pretty easy go of it with my WLS dropping weight. Not that I didn't have a few stalls along the way but all in all I lost my weight within 10 months and have kept it...

    Re: Plastic Surgery in Mexico

    I know a few people that have had their reconstruction with Dr Sauceda in Monterray and I haven't heard anything but amazing experience with him. I'm considering him for mine as well. There's a...

    Re: How did you feel 5 days post op?

    I haven't read any responses but speaking from my own experience, I think you'll be fine. You WILL be tired. Take time for yourself and sit/rest as much as possible but it CAN be done. I was back...

    Re: Rice a good thing?

    I avoided most carbs if not all for at least a month. The only thing I had when I went to purees was a couple days of "easter dinner type meal" ... since my surgery was around that. Hubby took...

    Re: Okay I feel like I committed murder... lol

    Be careful. If sweets/carbs were your go-to food pre-op, they will resume post op unless you're vigilant. This surgery isn't a guarantee, we still need to be mindful when we eat (most of the time)...

    Congratulations fellow successful Dr Almanza sleever!!! You look amazing!
    I wish I'd done this at your age so I had less skin post op but unfortunately plastics are likely part of my future. Great...
  10. Re: Question for Post Ops Who Lost Little or No Hair

    I would say this is exactly what I experienced. I have fine thin hair as well and didn't notice much at all. I did really kick up my protein which I think may have helped. I didn't supplement...

    Re: Why no liquids for 30 minutes after?

    I think everyone. I mean EVERYONE... pre/non/post sleeve should really adopt this practise of not eating while/before/during eating. It helps us not eat as much... which of course is what food...

    Re: Why no liquids for 30 minutes after?

    Think of your stomach like the drain in your sink.
    If you drink water, it goes through fast and quick.
    If you eat food it sits (which is what makes you feel full) until it digests... slowly. ...
  13. Re: Seems I now gain weight much faster than before & yet also lose it much faster.

    Keep your sodium rich foods to a minimum ... aka processed meats, canned goods, freezer foods. If it comes from a convenience or fast food type business you can be sure its full of sodium. Also,...

    Re: What soothes the stomach after throwing up?

    2 weeks out and you had curry? yikes! I couldn't imagine that pain. I didn't try curry for months!

    I'd suggest tums I guess. Also, stick to your doc's post-op dietary instructions and you...

    Re: going back to work

    I was back at day 6 full time. Then 1/2 days for the rest of the week when I realized it was too soon. I have a desk job.

    CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!! That's awesome!!!
  17. Re: Seems I now gain weight much faster than before & yet also lose it much faster.

    It's pretty much impossible to gain 10 lbs of ACTUAL weight in a week. You would need to be eating 35,000 excess calories a week to do that... and then restrict (or burn off) by 24,500 calories to...

    Re: Does anyone regret getting the sleeve?

    I'm 1.5 yrs out and feel incredible. I hit my goal after 10 months and have been maintaining within 4 lbs ever since. I wouldn't trade it for anything in the world. Only regret I have is not doing...

    Re: Why The Sleeve Works and Is Easy For Me

    I'm 1.5 yrs out now and I've had a relatively easy go of it. I've had some issues with low iron combined with low BP which resulted in some fainting. As well, I had some concerns about losing too...

    I haven't read any responses but since I've dealt with this I figured I had some wisdom to impart :)

    I experienced this exact issue and blogged about it earlier this year.

  22. Re: Six Month Report. You know that it's True, It can Happen to You.

    Hair loss isn't a given. It also isn't a for sure that you will keep it. I didn't have any hair loss but a friend of mine did. We both focused on high protein. She also did biotin, I didn't.

    I...
