What does one wear to 'hold up" the extra skin ? Mine is flapping around especially at the stomach area. I am not crazy about surgery...I was hoping some kind of garment would work.

Congratulations! I know it was hard to get there. To be honest, I am looking forward to my day when I feel like you do.
We are on the same page as far as weight loss goes. I guess I am normal because I too have trouble getting all my water and protein. It got better once I started pureed food...you just have to read...
Good luck! Feel free to ask questions here....like someone told me, there is no such thing as a stupid question. Take care
Honestly, I am at the beginning of my journey so I can not say I have survived [yet]. I can understand the term and why she used it. Perhaps, one day, I'll be able to use that terminology for me....
The first week was kind of rough. I was healing from the surgery and getting use to a clear liquid diet. I did not have much pain to speak of. It was more a soreness than "pain". I did not throw up...
There must be something about Texas. I live there too and I have made boo-koodles [that means a lot] of mistakes on my diet and in my lifetime.
Most important on the diet is to measure your...
If you are not scared or nervous then you should worry. This is a big step. You made a decision that is right for you....I could compare it to getting your tooth pulled [I do not like going to the...
"It's a small world after all. It's a small world after all. It's a ...." The song everyone should know...if you don't. Well, that is what "you tube "is for these days.
Now why did I start with that...
Ouch! And here I was worrying on whether I ate too much last Saturday. I was also confused on what phase I was on. Small potatoes compared to your problems. Feel free to send all the posts that you...
Congratulations for making it to round 2. You got my vote.:o
I needed a pep talk today. Your story helped me a lot. There is a light at the end of the tunnel after all.
I use premier protein shakes. [160 calories, 1 g of sugar, four carbs, 30 g of protein, 24 vitamins and minerals] It is actually 3 carbs if you subtract the 1 g of dietary fiber. It comes in...
Welcome back!! I am glad you came back. I had my sleeve done on the 22nd of January so I am just starting my journey. It is nice to compare notes with someone that is going through the same...
Just wanted to welcome another fellow Texan to the Forum. I had my sleeve on the 22nd of January so as far as what your next expectation is I have no idea. But you can VENT my way anytime. I find...
Where do you find New whey liquid protein? I have not seen it in my area. How is the taste? Can you compare it to something else? Next week, I am off clear liquids so I was going to get some Premier...
Honestly, If I try to keep up with every little bit I drink, I tend to get stressed out. I was honest with the doctor and said I would do my best and she said that is all she is asking of me but...
You will not be alone.:o You will have medical personnel, your wife and fellow sleevers to ask questions to or just vent.
I can fully understand about the freaking part.:eek:...all I can say is the...
Had my sleeve on the 22nd. I added black pepper to my clear chicken broth to add a different taste {?} .After I sipped [consumed it slowly} all of it about 15-20 minutes later I ha strong :( gas...
Considering I am the slowest learner of forums and computers and the such like a BIG THANK YOU will not suffice. But it is all I have to give right now. Simplicity is one of the nicest words in the...
Hey , Debbie!!! I beat you in two ways {like we're running a contest.....not!} . First, I am 61. Second, I had my surgery on the 22nd. I like your attitude...about the diet and everything. I have a...
Who said you are suppose to weigh in once a week? Is it by choice or doctors orders? I am new at this so I do not know all the ends and outs. Sometimes when losing weight don't you reach a plateau...
You better be ready for me. I just love to vent....it helps me and I do not plan on stopping anytime soon. I had my surgery last week. Two days ago I wondered if I had made a mistake. Thanks to all...
The only excuse I have is stupidity or not listening....whichever fits.....I checked my notes from my nutritionist and I stop the clear liquids on the 6th not the 16th....I could also use the excuse...
I was sleeved on 1/22/16. And I live in southeast Texas, close to Beaumont. Right now, I am a bit envious of you. :mad: My sister lives in San Antonio and I am 5-6 hours away from her. I enjoy...
