A lot depends on if you have other issues going on. I found out that my insurance was going to cover the procedure in 2012 on Nov 17, 2011. First appointment with the surgeon on 12/7/2011. Found...
It is a personal choice, prior to surgery, I told a few family members and a couple of friends. I quit telling friends when the 2nd one started with the just diet and exercise speech. After the...
The brain is a funny thing, I am almost 3 years out and I still don't see the "new" me. I am hopeful that eventually it will catch up with the rest of me.
Best of luck to you!
I agree with the comments already posted. I chose my sleeve for the same reasons Seth did. I am 2 1/2 years out. I have known people that had both and there are those that are successful and...
I use fat free, sugar free jello and puddings to flavor my shakes. The possibilities are endless. Everyone has to find what works for them.
I am not sure how long I waited to tan, but never had an issue. Just lotion up!
Good luck girls!
First of all welcome, you are in the process of changing your entire life for the better. I am just a little over 2 years out and have no regrets at all. Like some of the others mentioned,...
Congrats! I am almost 2 years out and definitely the best decision I have every made. The first year is rough at times, but it is so worth it! Love my sleeve and the freedoms it has given me!
I am almost 2 years out and still have around 20 pounds I would like to lose. I went to my surgeons office yesterday to pick up some Optifast as I am going to do 2 weeks of protein shakes (back to...
I am a few days shy of 2 years out and I would like to add my perspective here. It is very true that it takes time for your brain to catch up with your body. It is a common misconception that...
Don't look at it as the last few meals you will have, you will eventually be able to eat everything you eat today, just much smaller quantities. I am almost 2 years out and NEVER once have I...
Like the others have said, the purpose is to shrink your liver. My pre-op diet was 5 Optifast shakes a day, nothing else. I will admit that there were a few times that I caved and had a small salad...
Go easy on yourself, you are only 3 days out. I really don't remember much of the first 4 or 5 days after surgery. Just push the liquids when you are awake and rest. You will go through this phase...
I love mine, I have this one
FoodSaverŪ V3460 Vacuum Sealing Kit
I think any of them that you get will be great, it allows you to cook normal meals and freeze the leftovers or cook up a bunch...
First of all, if you are running a fever, you need to see your Dr or go to the ER. You need to have that checked out to avoid infections.
The diabetes part, everyone is different. My blood...
WOOHOO isn't it great how losing weight changes everything.... I am glad to see that you are doing so well.
I was addicted to Cokes, and I have not had a craving for one since surgery. My last one was 1/29/2012, the day before surgery! Your tastes change and the things you crave will as well.
Best...
I haven't had one since 1/29. I was addicted to Cherry Cokes from Sonic, but I have not even had the cravings. Good luck to you!
I know what you mean, my eyes haven't caught up to my body as of yet. I am almost at my high school weight, and everyone is telling me I am skinny. I just don't see it. I am positive that I will...
I happens due to the weight loss, mine started at about 4 1/2 months and has just now settled to a normal rate of loss. I started taking all the vitamins and supplements BEFORE surgery to avoid...
There is a life after the sleeve, you will be able to eat pretty much anything you want (your tummy may have issues at first). Eventually you will be able to tolerate anything. What makes this tool...
Just remember the pain doesn't last forever. Your Dr will give you pain meds, use them!! Your body needs to recover and you need to be comfortable. Honestly the pain is not that bad and within a...
Human nature is a funny thing, my thinner friends all went on diets when they found out. You know the vanity 5 pounds, LOL. My 'healthier friends all encouraged me, now they are the ones telling me...
Well it has been 7 months, so I thought I would update my progress and share some of the things I have learned along the way. Sorry for the length, just my thoughts.
THE WHY -
I had the surgery...
