    Re: how many pounds of skin?

    I have lost 195. My doctor estimates that I have around 30-35 pounds of excess skin, just in the abdominal area.

    Re: Always cold

    Cold intolerance is very common. I am freezing all the time. I still wear sweaters in 75 degree weather.

    Re: Sleeve life expectancy

    Thanks for all the info!!!! I had been wondering about the "life" of my sleeve.
  8. Re: Probably just paranoid but had to ask about hunger...

    I always need solid food to feel full. Almonds are great for this. If I still feel a little hungry after a meal or bar or even as a snack, almonds do the trick!

    Re: Hi

    My surgery was performed by Dr. Almanza and he has performed the surgery on several of my friends. We have all had good results. We are all nurses and not one of us has a complaint.

    Re: just letting off a bit of steam

    You have done a great job. Your story reminds me of my own. When at family gatherings I can feel them looking at what I do or don't eat. I also get questioned about my choices. I am following the...
  16. Re: 2 months out and I still eat like a sick cat :-(

    I had the same issue at that time. I still cant eat an entire chicken breast and I'm 7 months out. It is very hard to change our mindset. I still feel bad about how much food I end up throwing out...
  17. Re: Anybody hungry at "that time of the month"?

    Re: Who here had BMI 60+ and got sleeved?

    I started at 367 and 5ft 6 inches. I am down 105 pounds at only 5 months. The sleeve can work but you need to find the type of diet that works for you. I do low carb, high protein.
