Hi MelMar98, I completely understand your concerns I had WLS surgery six months ago and my daughter who's eleven asked alot of questions prior to my surgery. Since she was born I've been in and out of the hosp. due to Cancer and other health problems. She did not think being over weight was a health problem, especially since her best friend in school is over weight. I had to keep explaining to her that this was a tool to help me keep the weight off for good when I loss it and she was happy with that response. Now I include her in my workouts and I'm teaching her by example how to eat properly even though my daughter is not overweight she still has body issues because sometimes her friends call her skinny minnie or bean poll so it bothers her sometimes. Hopfully after you have surgery you can find ways to include your daughter in your program and you both could loss together. Take Care

Congrats on your big chop and I'm sure you do not look like a boy...lol Enjoy your natural hair journey.

Actually my thyroid was removed two years before my sleeve. My pcp has been monitoring my thyroid levels since surgery and managing my syntroid dosage every month. My advice to you is to go to your doctor and discuss ways to trick your thyroid into doing what you need it to do regarding your weight loss. My weight loss has been slow but study only problem is seeing my doctor every month the co pays are killing me. I hope this helps, take care

CONGRATS! Goal in only 9 months your my hero, go buy yourself something great. Take Care

This is great now can go shopping and have fun trying on clothes you would have never looked at before. I have found great deals at Jcpenney 5 dollar shirts 7 dollar pants and a dress for 9 dollars. And today I borrowed a skirt from my daughter who wears a size 2 the skirt was to big for her and I was going to take it in now I think I will wear it for a little while...lol Have fun shopping

After my surgery I became lactose intolerant and I love milk I tried many different brands and I just found Real Goodness it has 11g of Protein and it taste great. I've also feel in love with Muscle Milk which is lactose free and 22g of protein. Now I can get in my protein each day and drink a glass of milk again which counts as a Fluid. I drink the Real Goodness fat free and the regular muscle milk which is my snack some days. Just wanted to post just in case other sleevers are looking for lactose free milk products. Take Care

Congrats, welcome to the journey

Congrats to you both, great story thanks for sharing

Congrats on you and your sis approval!

Welcome! I hope I can answer any questions you may have this summer...good luck

Hey Candance, I went natural before surgery I did not want to deal with a relaxer and hair loss. I've been taking Biotin 5000mcg everyday since surgery it helps with new growth and shea butter conditioner has cut down on my hair breakage. Take Care

Weclome! Can't wait to read about your journey and share some tips

{{BIG HUGS}} Chin up, you will get a new date.

Hello, I understand your afraid but the sleeve has been the best decision in my life. Like you I had many many many surgeries prior to deciding to have WLS so my thought was I made it through those other surgeries one more will be the solution I've been looking for and it was. Everytime I went into the hospital I thought about my daughter and who would take care of her, but I had to push out those fears and think of how heathy I would be and the quality of life at a heathy weight. It's normal to be afraid it's human, may I suggest speaking with your doctor and possibly a counselor to help with decision to have the sleeve. Hope this helps, take care

Tiff, just wanted to say congrats to you and your expected new arrival. Take Care

I did not have a weight goal in the beginning I just wanted to be a size 10, now that I'm wearing a size 10 at 175lbs I've scheduled an appt. with my doctor so we can discuss a goal weight I'm thinking 165 would work for me I'm 5'4" I can not imagine being any smaller. I don't focus on the BMI chart, personally I don't think that chart takes into account the different body types that are out there any ways. Take Care

Hey Dave, congrats on the 53lbs. What helped me was I would add decaf. coffee to my Protein shakes it changed the flavor and helped with the queasy. Your tastes buds usually change after surgery, so maybe try a different brand I loved the unjury Protein Powder and the whey unflavored from GNC. Hang in there!

CONGRATS on achieving your mini goal, my DL have said 150 lbs since I received them at 16 yrs old ( the last time I was 150 lbs) so congrats again and as far as the boobs take a pic then say good bye.....lol

WOW! You look outstanding, keep up the good work
