They really do. It is tough but luckily volume won't be a problem for you anymore, although there are ways around that.
I just moved recently and today my neighbors brought me some brownies over as a welcome gift and I set them on the counter. I have been nibbling on them all day and realized I somehow managed to eat three brownies. THREE. I threw the rest away immediately and took the trash out.
Now to sugar cleanse again.
You know now that you are capable of making a healthy choice, just like I know I can live without brownies.

It could be that your tummy, or slummy, is still numb and swollen and all out of whack. I was able to suck down shakes and what not without any restriction. It wasn't until I ate meat that I really felt it, and that was about a month and a half out.
I can probably do an egg now rather comfortably. I wouldn't worry about it too much

I ran into a friend of my mother's the other day, my mum had told her about my sleeve. I found out she has had it done too and lost 195 pounds, she is three yeas out now. She mentioned the saggy skin and said she had her Tummy Tuck at a local hospital for FREE because she donated her excess skin to the burn unit.
Apparently if you have a few pounds of excess skin and donate it (via tons of forms) you can get it for free!
Anyone heard of this before??

I had guac and salsa in my puree stage. I eat them often now to spice up food. I would advise to stay away from the junk though. Yes "a little" won't hurt. But then you say you are addicted to them. You are not going to eat a little.
Sort out your food addictions so you don't harm yourself like some on here have.

I went to INT but we dropped into florence to pick someone up.
INT is tiny, which is nice, only 7 patients to a floor. You have the nurses full attention. INT has nice nurses who are efficient and only poke once. It was sparkling.
florence was bigger, but not that big. A little less clean looking, but I am sure not less clean. I have heard iffy things about the nurse staff here. Some people have said that they can't find a vein or that they don't respond all the time.
Also, INT staff was the same for each night and day. So you got comfy with a nurse.
Hope this helps!

Hey everyone!
I have been doing pretty well lately except for one thing, stalls! I wanted to talk about stalls with those of you that are farther out.
I am over a year post op and have been in a terrible stall for 3 months now. I have stayed at 168 no matter what! I haven't lost any inches/sizes during this time either.
I have tried upping my cals to 1200 and lowering to 700. Nothing! I have tried super low carb, I drink at least 70 oz Water daily and bike everyday for about 3 miles.
This is the smallest I have been in 10 years and I really want it to budge!
Anyone else had a stall like this? What did you do to break it?
EDIT: I get around 80 - 90 grams a day!

Well, they didn't fail me, I failed them.
I went through terrible life events and for the past year just stopped every good healthy thing which resulted in a 25 pound gain.
I am now doing a reset, eating like a post-op (solids) but not doing this pouch test thing. Returning to Protein shakes, zero additional carbs, etc. and low cal (700 or less). Whether it's genuine or not, I have seen a drop every day for the three days I've been doing this. I have 60 lbs to go till goal.

The TJ/Cali border is one of the safest areas. All the border violence you read about is more by Texas, Ariz and New Mex. Furthermore, all the shootings and what not are usually at a specific location where people who are involved in certain activities are the targets.
I walked around by myself and felt fine. As long as you don't wander off at night time into an alleyway, you will be safe.
Military patrol everywhere as well.

I have been in a stall for about 2 months now.
This is my "happy weight" as well. I find that it is so hard to drop past 168 for me! I am about a year out now and am still pushing!

Amazon just added these as an "add on item" for 7 bucks for 12 of them if you have an order over 25 and a Prime membership. Free shipping!

Oh gosh, I am the baby! I am 20 and got my sleeve in March during my spring break. I was back at work and school as soon as it started! Best decision ever! Everyone was saying that I was too young, but I couldn't imagine waiting 20 more years.

I would also look into local prices, for most of my area the price difference is around $800 - $1000 cheaper. Once I factor in travel and all that stuff it isn't worth it. A lot of procedures are cheaper than people think!

Holy crap on a cracker.. Im originally from Ukiah Calif.. how odd is that.

I started taking hair supplements four months before surgery still take them. I get in 80 grams of Protein a day and drink tons of Water.
I take my Vitamins and all that stuff.
I still lost hair. I am loosing about half a handful each shower, but I do have a lot anyway.
I am not too worried about it because My hair is curly and can mask thinness very easily. I did chop it short so it didn't look stringy though.

It is also important to remember that things like: ethnicity, stretch marks and weight loss amount can all contribute to skin bouncing back.
For instance, some on here have amazing looking skin on their tummies but they lost about 90 - 100 pounds while others that have 300+ to lose will most likely not have those results.
Also, if you have a wreck of stretch marks (like me) it will be much harder for your skin to go back.

Chop it off! I did and it looks so much better and thicker and I have crazy confidence because of it!
I always thought my face was too round for a pixie but I love it

I posted this in the other as well:
Actually, the inside WILL change. At least according to my gyno.
I went in for my first pap, I am only 20, and we talked about my surgery. She mentioned that larger women have more narrow vaginal canals because all the fat pushing in on it. She asked me about 100 times if I was sure I wasn't a virgin (really awkward). She said once I lose most of my weight it will widen a bit but not much. She said it probably wouldn't be noticeable to a partner but I may notice less discomfort, which I do have sometimes.
