Duh, 4 months after surgery, I'm asking these questions...but I really don't know why. It has just been a "given" all along. How many of you actually follow these guidelines? Thanks in advance!

As previous post said, unless you are 4 feet tall, 160 is nothing to sneeze at. That is less than I will probably end up, and I'm 5'3". Personally, I would not go the resleeve route. I was...

I have all those too (fitbit, my fitness pal, aria scale) - do you trust the fat percentage? Mine has stayed the same for about a month even though I've lost weight and can wear smaller clothes. ...

If so, do you trust the fat percentage? I've had mine for about a month, and altho my weight has gone down somewhat, the body fat percentage has stayed the same, basically. WTH? I know I'm...

Everyone must make their own decision, but I too went into it leaning towards lap band. The more I read and researched, I knew the sleeve was a better option - in my opinion. I could not see...

I did not sweat much at all before surgery, now I sweat some; what most people would consider a little, but I think it is quite a bit for me. But then again, I do live in TX and it is summer and it...

No offense to anyone, since this is my personal opinion, but NO WAY would I go to Mexico. My husband wouldn't have let me either! My friends would have been beside themselves, more than they...

I'm over 12 wks. out and I've had 2 skinny margs., one last week and one this week. In my case, it was basically no different than pre-op. I sipped slowly. I was told wait at least 6 weeks, and...

Move over, ladies, I'm in the same boat. It has just happened in the past few days. I don't feel depressed, I feel defeated. I work my blanking butt off excercising, spending most of the energy...

David's Breast Rash Cream from Australia is what I have. It's $40 or so but lasts for years and does the trick better and faster than anything I've EVER used and I've had these probs (or use to!)...

Also add a little lite cool whip and maybe some fruit - been having that for years - gooooood!!

Yep, the more I know people, the better I like my dog. But I felt that way before WLS. I live in a small town and at the women's gym I go to, I'm sure EVERYONE knows I've had WLS (because a few...

Oh yea, and I have to shower EVERY day, even if I'm not that active (I don't work). Twice a day wouldn't hurt! Esp. in the summer. Good luck!

I have huge boobs and a small apron, so I have had this prob. for years. I don't use any kind of powder any more, because when you stop and think about it, it just adds to the moisture. As a...

Yea, I'm post-menopausal, but I've still been cranky. It's getting less and less as I'm eating more, but I used to be SO pleasant. I think there is something to be said about fat and happy. I'm...

Love your icon/avatar on your profile there, Angel!

Liz in Texas - Hmmm...you know I have not heard of being turned down sight unseen! I don't mean to be nosy, but I wonder why that would be the case. There are SO many wls surgeons in DFW, I hope...

I didn't make the original post, but why does it have to be labeled as a judgment? I think it is her OPINION, of which she is entitled. I feel the same way she does, BTW. There are...

Even if you know your own body, you might be thrown a loop like I was. I had an ovary removed 5 years ago and bounced right back, so I figured even tho not comparable...oh I'll do great. But, I'm...

Praying hard for you! Let us know how it goes...

Out of the whole thing, the 30 year cheat free marriage impressed me. So congrats on that!!! But, some young girls do have daddy (or grandaddy?) issues....just sayin'.... :)

Funny thing...

It's better today, so far, somewhat. I've been putting bio oil and arnica gel on my stomach and that helps some I think. Mainly waistbands that bother it. I guess it could be something unrelated...

Oh yea, the left side was the painful side from the beginning because of what dr. does there, but it is more the 7 weeks out thing that is concerning. I don't want to have to get a CT scan! I'm...

Had 6 week check up last week. PA said if pain not gone by end of this week, I'd have to have CT scan. What could it possibly be anyway? She asked if I wanted muscle relaxers, I said no. She...

At my NUT visit the other day, I was told that warm pineapple juice will help break things down - hmmm....who knew?
