Ms skinniness

Take one day at a time. Don't over do it. Enjoy all the awwwwww's you get from others! You are truly blessed! Keep water near you at all times to get in the habit of drinking it to stay hydrated.

CONGRATS! These will probably be the longest 3 weeks for you. Your process with getting approved was very short and that makes it a lot easier. Can't wait to hear more about your journey!

OMG! absolutely stunning! Keep Rockin that Sleeve!

Gosh, I have nothing to whine about. Oh, I did weigh myself just to be amazed at the new 158.4 scale #. Was pleasantly surprised that I had dropped a couple of ozs. YAYYYYYYYYYYY! But I really wasn't expecting anything. I'm cold and then I'm hot. Confusing, yes I know. Anyhow, have a wonderful day!

We all need to get our vitamins in. I know that I forget to take mine sometimes. I'm terrible at taking the B12 even though I know that it will give me more energy. Need to readjust myself. There done! I've readjusted. LOL

Congrats Lissa! Keep Rockin that Sleeve!

CONGRATS! Welcome to a healthier life style. The sleeve is the best thing I've ever done.

You look stunning! CONGRATS! Keep Rockin that Sleeve!

Congrats! Can't wait for you to join me on the BIG LOSER'S BENCH!

My docs were clear liquids for 3 weeks.

Congrats! You are doing great! Keep up the hard work.

I take biotin 10,000mcg, silica, and use nioxin shampoo and conditioner. I still find alot of hair in the drain and my hairbrush, not to mention my comb also. So sad but worth it for this body now. I feel so much better. I have started taking fish oil caps too. So, hair starts growing in around 6 months? I wonder how long it will take to get longer and fill in. LOL

I have very few cloths that fit right now. I bought some Levi jeans that I out grew in about 4 weeks. I also have a size 11 that I outgrew but I still wear them with a belt. I have bought some clearance sexy blouses from Victoria Secret and that's it. Oh recently I bought a size 10 blazer and M blazer with 1 blouse that is a little snug across the shoulders. I love my new body. It's absolutely beautiful. This hard work is paying off.

Thank you. This makes a lot of sense. I have about 28 lbs to loose and am coming to the point where I am loosing very little weight. This really sucks, but it is what it is and I will do what I need to, to stay on track to get to goal. I'm 5'6" and currently weigh 158.6 lbs. I want to get down to 130 lbs.

I would not worry too much about the carb thing right now. Just eat what you can, protein mostly like soups, broths, yogurt, jello sf, pudding sf, cottage cheese. These are all good foods. Like MegInNola stated. Do the best you can and try not to stress tooooo much....

Could be vitamin deficency like topgun suggested. Low iron, etc. Are you laying down with your feet up now? It would be a great idea if your not already. Talking with your doc is an excellent suggestion. You will be okay.

I have not had any of these problems. I tend to under eat my sleeve. Oh wait, In the beginning, I use to have food sit right in my esophaus which felt really wierd, but would be gone in 10 minutes. I do have alot of constipation which can sometimes be painful passing. But other than that, no problems. I do have stalls like everyone else. But overall, no slimes, I do burp but not much and I have alot of gas and I fart!. I can handle these. I love my sleeve.

Great article. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks Lissa!

YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY! It is really common to become really fearful and anxious right up to the point of the surgery. We have all experienced that. You will be fine and love your sleeve and your new body! CONGRATS! It's almost here.

this is so frustrating. I was told by Kaiser that I had to loose a certain percentage of my weight before given a referral for this procedure. I lost weight and when I was 3 week away from surgery, the surgeon told me my BMI was too low for insurance to cover it. WTF! I tried everything I could to gain weight and couldn't. Then I went in and talked with the surgeon and told her I was taking Lisnipril to protect my kidney's because I have diabetes. She went and checked the records and then ok'd it. I was so angry and frustrated, and worried about being turned away at the morning of the surgery. It was horrible. I'm so sorry your having this problem. It sucks! The doc can get it over turned, he just has to take the time to speak with the insurance company, in which he should of done this months ago!. ARGGGG! Good luck and I cant' wait to see you at the LOSER'S BENCH!

i've told pretty much everyone I know about my surgery and no one has ever said anything like that to me. Then again, I only care about the people I love and their opinions. Other people can struggle with their own opinions!

That is a great plan, I wish I would of thought about that. But, I'm totally happy with my weight loss.

OMG! This is awesome! Enjoy every moment of it and remember, you can choose who you give your time too! YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYY! I love this NSV! Keep Rockin that Sleeve!

That's a humongous NSV! CONGRATS! Keep Rockin that Sleeve! LOL
