Hi. I was sleeved on 12/18. I am down almost 30 pounds with another 100 to go. I was scared that I wouldn't lose and now I am! Very excited about all of the weight loss and hopeful for the future. My Doc says that it is rational to expect another 100 pounds. I am a bit worried about what I will look like after that. Will I have huge flaps of saggy skin? I have had people say that I will and I guess it doesn't really matter too much, health is the reason to lose the weight after all, but I am just like everyone else and would like to look GOOD. Has anyone hit their goal of a 100+ and is willing to share? I am exercising. Are there better exercises to help firm up? I am also 39 so I don't expect the body of a teenager. Anyone have any input? Thanks, Lost

I don't have a prescription but I am sure I can talk to my regular dr and get one. Until that happens, I will pick up something over the counter. Last night was miserable. Thanks for the advise.

I am not sure if I should have started a new post, so please forgive me if I have done this wrong. I was sleeved on 12/18. I didn't lose anything during the two weeks before surgery that I was on the high Protein low carb diet. I am on a liquid only diet and have managed to gain 1.5 pounds. I see everyone reporting all of their loss and I wonder if I have done the right thing or if I am going to fail this diet too. Diet is consisting of chicken broth, crystal light, sf Jello, sf popsickles and protein Water. I have the worst heartburn so I am trying to be super careful about things that might set it off as well as what I ought to be eating. I had the surgery in Cancun - absolutely beautiful- and was in the hospital for almost 3 full days. Pain is manageable and I still feel more than a bit bloated. I am hoping (praying) that when the bloating subsides so will some of the weight. Thanks so much, Lost.
