i used to have that pre-op, because i have pcos. i know how terrifying it can be to see that muh blood. have u missed any periods prior to this? my dr. advised me it could be a buid up of things that werent flushed out during the previous months of missed periods but i would check with your gyno or surgeon to see what their experience is with it.

i went to Dr. Posner in Buffalo. very strict but i had amazing staff throughout & he really did a great job on my surgery i really have no scars anymore 3 months out!

usually i was told that i made a great decision by not waiting until i am older, which i agree with! if anyone gives you a hard time just remember they dont have to live inside your body!

turkey burgers no bun no sides but with Tomato and lettuce and i make it into a turkey patty salad

FINALLY!!!! a list with actual options! thank u!!!

woo hoo! the 100 pound mark is a huge milestone! congrats

i had not one, but TWO guys i dated tell me they liked me better heavier. that my 120 pound weight loss made me LESS attractive to them, and that ALSO makes me resent them. what, was i just a fat girl fetish? we all go through resenting someone at some point but the best thing u can do is not let him upset you. i know it's hard but if he is being malicious, it might be time to let him go and focus on yourself. there will be plenty of new guys who will appreciate your body as is, and in the future.

Hi! I have Aetna and I was approved on the first try a year ago. I had to do 2 sleep studies a psych visit nutrition appointments and a few other things but it was worth it to get approved right away! i had a high bmi, and co-morbidities (pre diabetes and sleep apnea) and they told me the more things wrong with me, the easier it is to approve the surgery. I am a year out and still have yet to receive any kind of bill. Good luck to you all!

we all drive ourselves crazy at one point obsessing over what everyone elses numbers are versus our own. i am a little over a year out and i am not at goal and i see people who are at 8,9 months and i think, "im failing." but i also have lost 120 pounds! and i have to remind myself that while others may be at goal of losing 80 pounds, i had to lose much more. so try not to obsess because your journey, body and numbers are different from everyone elses. we all hit the dreaded stalls and the best thing to do is switch up your carb intake and work outs. the longer post op we are, the harder it is to lose weight. at a year out i lose super slow compared to the first 6 months. and thats okay! i have never been into gatorade just because of the carbs, i would also dilute it if i were you like other people have mentioned. just be mindful and try to switch things up it sounds like you are being hard on yourself, which we all do!

i love the triple chocolate powder.< /p>

Hi! I am a little over a year out, and I will give you my facts
25 year old female, 5 ft 4
Starting Weight 310, current weight 191
sleevie can tolerate almost anything, sometimes red meat gives me a hard time and celery is too stringy. I have had no problems at all, and never feel hungry, I have to remind myself to eat. I still have about 40 pounds til goal, and the weight started coming off slower after about 6 months. My skin has no sagging, no pulling etc, and I am SO glad I made the decision to have this surgery. The worst part was the bloating and gas after surgery but I never even had to use my pain meds so it wasn't that bad. If you are considering this I would recommend it to anyone, its the best thing I have ever done for myself and has changed my whole life! The worst part is remembering i am no longer 300+ pounds, good luck to u!

I also still suffer from the hair problem after losing 120 pounds
it is super disappointing but i am dealing with it, and just glad that my periods finally balanced out and are not so heavy anymore. sending you lots of support from another sleever who understands your pain!

im down 120, and dont need anything, but i am not at goal weight yet either and im 25 so i think my skin bounced back well partly because of age.

i had a bmi of 53 to start and on average i have lost 11lbs a month but i started at 310 lbs. my surgeon said 1lb a week is actually right on target for healthy weight loss but the larger your starting # the more weight you will lose per week. sounds like you are doing perfect i agree though that if you are not getting enough nutrients and Water your weight loss will slow down because your body goes into fat storage mode!

its a big change especialy if one person goes through it and the other doesnt its important to discuss the health benefits over the food. i found myself talking too much bout food and had to wrangle that in to not annoy the crap out of others. once i did that my friends were more open to asking me about things. its just a balance but my surgeon told me that this surgery forces you to put yourself first which is something a lot of us DONT do which is why we end up over weight and unhealthy. good luck to you and we are all going through it together!
