I Am Hungry!
These past two days I have been feeling hungry!!! Must remember to get cucumbers the week before my period! I basically ate two dinners tonight! I also need the sugar free popsicles! 7 days of eating like this and I could totally see some weight gain. Today I probably ate 2000 calories easy! I Only had high calorie foods! What low calorie foods pack a good punch in terms of volume?

Newbie Questions For Veteran Sleevers!
It is weird but I find that taking a small sip or two of a drink keeps me full longer. So I eat less because I know I am going to have a sip of a drink.

Will I Start To Look Old?

How Long After Sleeve Surgery Did You Complete Plastic Surgery?
The doctors in DC are the most expensive in the entire country! Dr. Markmann wants like $19k for a Brazilian butt lift. That is just ridiculous. I have a consultation in September with a surgeon in VA. I told myself that I would not have surgery until I really gave good effort in working out. I really am going to start now. I finally feel ready...which ever since I have been taking vitamin D and b-12 I feel better. I was kind of in a funk, but I am ready ready ready! So I will see him for pricing, but wouldn't consider doing anything until January or February. I do feel like my body is changing but only time will tell. Then the whole $20k for plastics!! That just is overwhelming. I still owe $5k for the sleeve! I have to pay that by November soni don't get charged any interest. I just wish I had $50k to pay everything off & have plastics! Thigh lift, lower body lift, breast lift, Botox, and whatever else!!! Surprisingly I am totally fine with my arms.

Anyone Regret It?
No regrets. I love watching at the people be stuffed after eating and I am just slightly full. I still have great restriction after a year and two months. My doctor's goal was 180, my goal was 170...I weigh 165 and I am still losing. I lost 4 pounds last month! I do not see it. I know I am waaaaaay thinner, but I still feel thick. I take pics...that is the way I notice. I hope to lose another 15, but where I am is pretty fabulous!

Almost Too Good To Be True

How Painful Was The Surgery?
I had no gas or nausea. I just had pain where the incisions were for 5 weeks. The pain was pretty bad for me. Guess I don't do well with them cutting through my muscle.

Another Theory
I am on this site a lot. I lost a lot! I am pretty thin now. A lot of people struggle. At first I thought maybe those people who were struggling didn't make the first six months count because they were told to eat 1200 calories. I DO NOT advocate eating that many calories!!!! But besides the fact that I did not eat that many I looked at what other people say and in another way I differ from some people is that I would never sit around eating for an hour in order to get all my food down. I literally eat 10 bites of food...pretty quickly, and I stop. I feel satisfied and in two to three hours I am eating again, but again I eat a couple bites, quickly and then stop as soon as the hunger is gone. I also remember my nutritionist telling me to eat slowly, chew my food and that a meal might take a long time to get down. Just a theory that maybe you shouldn't eat for so long just to get your meal down. You can eat again later.

What Do You Do
Now that I am a year out...I eat. I just stop after a serving because that is enough to satisfy the craving.

My Hubby Keeps Eating My Food!
My boyfriend was eating my protein bars, and if I hide them he says...why are you hiding them! So I buy my yummy clif bars and I buy him whatever is on sale! It irked me because I would buy just enough for the week then he would be up all night just eating all the stuff I bought so I would have to go to the store again. Thank goodness he doesn't eat my cheese sticks or Chobani!!! Those damn protein bars are expensive! I created a snack drawer for me and one for him. He gets whatever is on sale!

Making Your Final Goal
I said 170, my doctor said 180. I am over a year from surgery and weighed 169 today and now I want 150 to 160. I am 5'11". You should be happy wherever you are, but push yourself for more. In order for me to get to 150 at this point I would have to eat like I did the first couple of months...800 calories. I might try it, but I think I might be too hungry. We shall see.

No Regrets, But I Broke Down And Cried Today
My skin is horrible...Probably not as bad as some people and probably worse than some. My butt is all saggy. Looks like a granny butt. Then my hair has not grown back. My thighs are all wrinkly. I am just have a bad day. No regrets at all, but it just sucks. I lost all my muscle. I can't even lift what I used to. Pity party for me today. I wore a bikini on the beach and still felt so self conscience. I don't think I can go through a lower body lift or thigh lift or tummy tuck. I want them, but surgery is not easy. What if the scars look terrible. I wish I never got fat when I was a little girl. All the damage, stretch marks...It sucks.

Read A Post About Loving Yourself First Before Anyone Else Can And It Irked Me!
This will all change eventually because there are seriously a lot of fat people out there. Not big big, but chunky and big big. I know that movie fat head said the obesity epidemic is a lie, but if you ask me...yo! There are sooooooo many big people. It is going to be a big problem!!!!! So someday we will all be just like the fat people in wall-e!

Hair Loss
I have no regrowth on year and one month later. I don't mean to scare you, but I did some research and you may never get it back. Some people, most people's hair grows back...I just am one of the ones who has nothing yet. I was upset, but what can you do. I always say prepare for the worst and hope for the best.

If you are a size 10...These will be too big for you.

Still like the big oversized handicap bathrooms. I only ever notice big people going into them, but even though I can fit in a small stall - why!

Has Anyone Ever Regretted Having Surgery? Be Honest?
My hair has not grown back yet. My skin is yucky yuck. I am a little over a year. But neither of those things make me cry like being a fatty did.
