Long Time No Talk. It has been three years since my surgery and unfortunately the, "Thrill Is Gone" and I'm seeking help. Last year in October, before my husband and I went on a cruise I was 3...

I wore stretch pants so they would not affect my stomach.

I have hair pieces sewn into my own braided hair. My hairstyle is a short bob which I pin up in a wrap at night wearing a silk bonnet. That seems to helps me keep my style including when I work out.

I can't drink water by itself anymore which is so weird. Warm water is disgusting and I could never see myself trying drinking it everyday.

I carried cash and received a $100 discount that was offered by the coordinator. I was nervous carrying that much money around so I kept it on my person and wore my Spanx to keep it from moving...

Congratulations. I hoping to reach the 140's before the end of the year.

Thank you for asking the question. I was wondering the same thing.

palms cocoa butter is working for me

Yeah that sounds familiar. I have small veins and the nurses couldn't get a good vein. Before my surgery they stuck me 6 times. Then the next day they had to stick me "AGAIN" because the original...

You look wonderful and thank you for sharing your pictures.

That is the best story ever.

To SSmith9994, I noticed you have been sleeved for almost five years ago. I was wondering what you've done to maintain your current weight. I know several people who had various types of WLS and...

I asked a similar question yesterday and I'm glad to see your responses. I had my surgery on May, 29th in Mexico and they didn't really provide eating directions for afterwards. I'm sorry but I am...

I have the gastric sleeve for dummies. It is a good book but not a lot of good recipes.

Good Afternoon,

I will be finishing my liquid diet at the end of this week then plan on beginning Phase 2 next week. I wanted to get some ideas on what you are eating or what you ate during this...

You can do it. I promise this will be the best decision you ever made.

Every diet pill and WLS program on the face of the earth. I even paid $9800 for SmartLipo to have fat melted from my hips thighs, and back. What I have paid over the years would have probably paid...

Definitely recommend staying off the scale. I weight myself when I got home on Monday then weight myself again because I'm one week post op and didn't see a big difference. I wasn't sure what I...

I was able to begin drinking protein shakes on my fourth day post op. Off course it takes me all day to drink one but I eventually can get it down. My only problem is the water I keep forgetting to...

I found some interesting recipes on Pinterest linked to another site called Bariatric Foodie and Eggface. I can't try any of them since I'm only a week post op but I can't hardly wait to cook meals...

I just came back from there. What questions do you have?

Are you still in Mexico? I'm going home tomorrow.

You should watch a YouTube video By Matthew Weiner he mentions something something similar in one of his video. He has several videos on YouTube but the one I am thinking about has to do with...

I'm online looking for bariatric vitamins and a good cookbooks to follow for my long term goals does anyone have any suggestions?

I think it depends on your starting weight. When I was going to the first doctor my Pre-Op Diet was for seven days when I switched to another doctor and I was under 200 pounds my Pre-Op Diet is for...
