i usually take in 95-105g of Protein per day & drink about a gallon of Water a day! i pray it really grows in!

thank you love!

i disagree. when i was younger, my hair never grew & i had a horrible bob cut that just wouldnt grow. i began using super hair gro & it grew down to my butt within a year. huge difference. i started using it again & it seems to be growing back.

hey! u must be speaking of when i had a leak. i am doing so much better & thank you for asking.

my only symptoms were throwing up bile 2x in a 2 week period. but the whole process of the stent & healing was pure hell. pure hell. no other words for it.

after surgery, i didnt sleep straight through a night for a while! i guess it wouldve happened sooner but i was diagnosed with a leak at 5wks so i didnt sleep straight through a night until maybe like march & i was sleeved in december.

ohhh... ull be gassy because they pump you up with air and because you dont have anything in your tummy. suck on chewable gas x or use gas x strips. when u start on mushies like apple sauce, mashed potatos, etc.. take advantage. itll be hard to take in a lot so just do it often so that you have something fighting the gas! congrats & welcome to the losers bench!!

my boobs have gotten smaller. they are a little deflated. i have extra skin on them now. but they are still poking out. i plan on getting a boob job & my butt done!

the more often u eat, the less often u will be gassy. we usually get gassy when our tummys are empty for a while. try snacking on something small each time you feel really gassy. itll stop sooner than later.

i agree but i just really wanted to fit into a certain type of dress by my birthday & i dont see it happening.

i started at 273lbs and today i weighed in at 173! i have before and after pics in my gallery! (you must add me as a friend to view them) i went thru hell & back to get here after being diagnosed with a leak at week 5 but i overcame it. my short term goal is to be 155lbs by my 24th birthday on aug 26th. my long term goal is to be 135lbs. wish me luck!

i weighed myself yesterday & im still 173. seems like im not going to reach my goal.

my butt was the very FIRST thing to go! now it has a "sag" to it. i am 7months out & im starting the gym now. i plan on working very hard with lunges, low deep squats, leg presses & all the other leg exercises. sounds painful ;( may the lord be with me!

thank you!

i didnt have the average symptoms which is usually gas pain in left shoulder, fever, shivers, & basically flu like symptoms. mine was, i threw up bile 2x in a 2wk period. i was sent in for a swallow test & life took an ugly turn from there.

thank you so much!!! i appreciate you taking the time to read my vents from that horrible time in my life!

honestly, its one of my main reasons i got it! i didnt want to struggle my entire life! i wanted to give myself a fair chance. i kept thinking about those who are older than methat battled their entire life & get it farther down the line. i knew i had a better chance getting it now. 73lbs is great! congrats on your success!

i will but i believe you have to add me in order to view them. im not exactly sure how it works

thank you very much

thank you so much. i pray you will be equally successful and im sure you will

my boyfriends a personal trainer & bodybuilder. the trick is to focus on one body part at a time & throw in something minor like arms. when lifting weights, your body still burns fat up to 24-48hrs after working out so you want to keep working on different parts. many ppl do full body workouts which are ok but you wont get your max results and you will feel like a zombie leaving the gym! also, when working out back, you are working out your biceps automatically so the trick is to do triceps with back so u really are working out 3 parts while only targeting 2! when doing chest, you automatically workout triceps so you do bicep workouts so u r doing 2 but working out 3! just a little trick. also, legs r most important & ppl often neglect legs. we forget that legs is 1/2 our body & we are the strongest in our legs and we burn the most calories for a longer period of time doing legs! if u take in as much Protein as possible, you wont be as sore the more you workout. these are my workout tips! i hope they help.

thank you ladies!! honestly, i dont have any tips. i lost most of my weight when i had my leak. i didnt eat for over a month & i was very sick! i was throwing up bile about 10+ times a day. it was bad! but i guess a good tip would be, dont TRY things you know youre not supposed to have. for example, soda! i know many sleevers who picked up this habit again & it causes tthem no discomfort. i lived on soda & cut it out 8months ago & have not tried it since! i never really "dieted". i ate what i want when i wanted. the weight kept falling off. it did kill my food addiction. when trying foods, u will see that most dont sit well & u probably will try it again but eventually will realize that you dont get the same satisfaction therefore u no longer want it. i lived on pizza! now, pizza looks like blah to me. lol. i didnt start working out until last week lol. i was supposed to workout mon-fri but only worked out mon & tues. today, im back at it! my workout routine will look like this.. monday: back, abs & biceps & 30mins cardio tuesday: chest & triceps & 30mins cardio wednesday: no weights, abs, 1hr cardio thursday: shoulders & 30mins cardio friday: legs, no cardio sat & sun: off now, i didnt go yesterday so im not taking off wednesday & im doing shoulders & legs on friday. hopefully, ill lose a lot more this week from exercising so hard & cutting out sweets. my meals consist of 2 chicken breast with no skin & 2 sides of corn from boston market. a Protein bar & sometimes a Protein shake. i split the breast up into 4 meals. i hope this helped some

wow! it juat hit me! im exactly 100lbs down! started at 273 & im now 173!

i weighed myself today. i was hoping to have lost more so i could be cloaer to my goal but im thankful the scale moved period! july 16th, i was 176 & set a goal to lose 21lbs by my birthday. (aug 26th). today, i weigh 173lbs. im 18lbs away from weighing 155lbs! (my short term goal) id have to lose 4lbs per week for the next 4.5 weeks to meet my goal. wish me luck!

thank you love!
