  1. Re: So does this frickin loose skin ever shrink?

    I live in shapewear. I'm 35 and over 2 yrs out. My skin did not bounce back. I have very saggy arms, neck, stomach and inner thighs. It's hard to be okay with how it looks sometimes, but...

    Re: 1+ yr(s) Post Sleeve Accountability Thread

    Thanks for bringing this up. There's a lot a shame and guilt when you think you've failed yourself. I guess we all just need to recognize that taking good care of ourselves is something we'll...
  4. Re: After surgery do you always and forever stay on a vitamin regime ?

    Maybe. I took them religiously for the first two years as recommended by my doctor. I haven't taken any vitamins regularly for the past 6-10 months, and I feel just fine. I have been able to eat...

    Re: Sushi Sushi Sushi

    I couldn't really get back into anything raw until about two years out. The thought of chewing raw fish the way we're supposed to just bothered me. Now that I can eat it in a few bites without...

    Re: Bad Eating

    My advice would be if you're going to have a snack, make it something healthy and crunchy. I've been in this late night snack habit too, and I've gained a few pounds from mindless holiday eating. ...

    Re: weight gain

    I also have a friend that had RNY bypass 10 years ago and recently gained all of her weight back as well. You should understand that eventually you are able to overeat without feeling as much pain...

    Re: Runny Nose

    It is a sign of fullness just like hiccups. My nose still runs when I get too full. It's a little annoying, but it is also a good reminder.

    Re: "may not tolerate well"

    Eggs are a tough one for many people. Pre-surgery I loved eggs. I couldn't wait for the soft food stage to add them back in. It was very frustrating when I realized that they made me feel icky...
  12. Re: What about green chile, red chile, jalapenos? You know, what makes food taste good.

    I was told to start slowly with herbs and spices during the cream soup phase. My doc said to wait until 3 months for the "heat". It was hard because I love bold flavors and really spicy food. ...

    Re: Heart Racing and feeling bad again

    Hi Dee,

    Sorry to hear you're feeling so terrible. I can relate to feeling cold. I used to be miserably hot and sweaty when I was heavy. Now my hands and feet seem to be painfully cold almost...
  14. Re: What are you doing with your clothes you outgrow?

    eBay and Amazon. I had a lot of nice pieces that I paid $80 and up when they were brand new. Setting up the selling accounts was very easy. I was able to recoup quite a bit of money by selling...

    Re: The Amazing Spaghetti Squash!

    Good call! Zucchini, or summer squash, are incredible too. Peel them, slice them thin on a mandolin, and then cut into spaghetti sized strips. Saute in a tiny amount of olive oil and garlic. It...

    Re: husband not supportive

    I bet this has nothing to do with him thinking you are too lazy to do it on your own. I would speculate that he feels scared and threatened by the unknown. The surgery aspect is very serious and...

    Re: Need Help With My BodyFit BodyMedia

    I've only had it do that to me twice in two years. I would say, if you have it snuggly pressed to your arm and it's not working, call Bodybugg. They should replace it if it is defective.

    Re: Wearing a Body Bug

    The FitBit is definitely more concealable than the Bodybugg or Body Media Fit armband. My Mom loves hers just for that reason. The major advantage of the Bodybugg is that it tracks calorie burn...

    Re: Hot or flushed after eating?

    I used to have that happen more often, but now it happens mostly when I eat to fast. On Easter, I ate too much and too fast. I was flushed for an hour.
