  1. Prior to the surgery I suffered from oily skin and acne. After the surgery I was completely the opposite my skin was so dry, so what I was told was when I start drinking more water it would get better and it did. Now back to oily skin as normal.
  2. Hello everyone, does anyone know if vitamin c is linked to breaking stalls. Yes, I have to admit I don't take my vitamin c the way that I should. However, I have had two stalls and during the stall at one point I end up taking my vitamin C and the stall breaks... I think I need to start taking it everyday

  6. @ sparklingsarah well said, I think we all go through this I definately did.... Hang in there it gets better....
  7. So I had a visit with my surgeon yesterday, I thought he was going to be really disappointed in because I have been disappointed with myself. I have had very slow weight and I thought he would have wanted to see more also. So I said to him wht can I do to speed up my weight loss because it is coming off so slow. he says" well you didn't have gastric bypass how quick do you think it should come off" that made me feel better. Then he says to me tell me when is the last time you've lost 48 pounds in 12 weeks. I told him well since you put it like that I guess I'm doing just fine..... All labs were good except my B1 level was low, so another vitamin that I have to take now. I'm feeling better about my progress now!!!!!!!!!
  8. Thank you, I have already had my surgery but I am still going to get some....

  10. Let your haters be your greatest motivation.....!
  11. I do it all the time then end up giving the plate to either my boyfriend or one of the kids....
  12. Wow! No answer to your question, but you look great!
  13. Mine ended Saturday and I lost 3.6 pounds, but whewwwwww I was salled for over a month.....It should have been about 10lbs....LOL!!!!
  14. I am just so over joyed today. I was feeling a lil down for about the past few weeks because my scale had been stalled for so long. ( this really bummed me out almost to the point where I just wanted to give up). Everybody on this site and a few people I know that have been sleeved have been so supportive and letting me know the scale will move again. My boyfriend who has been my biggest supporter keeps on telling babe you looking smaller every week. (I thought he was just saying that because that's my man). However, on Friday night my neighbor up the street asked hey girl are you loosing weight, I replied yeah a little bit, she say good for you you are looking good you look so nice . i said thank you very much ( and was all smiles inside). So this morning I decided to try on these jeggins I bought two years ago that I thought were my size, but when I got home with them I could not put them on and I refused to take them back and get a larger size. Yayyyyy me they fit! I am feeling real good about being sleeved now.... Going to sit back do what I am suppose to do follow my dr's orders and ROCK MY SLEEVE!!!!!!!!
  15. Yes and Yes....LOL!!!!
  16. you really don't want me to tell you. I understand how you feel, it is so discouraging I just wanted to give up. Sorry I don't have any idea of what to tell you how to break it. All I can say is hang in there as I am....
  17. Won't they make sure that it is gone before they do the surgery.
  18. You don't even want to know how long mine was, but I could tell I was losing inches. But got darnit I wanted to see that scale move.....!
  19. I ordered these online (you can google quest protein) and each bar has 20 grams of protein, the bars have anywhere between 3 to 6 carbs, anywhere from 1 to3 grams of sugar and the calories vary, in my box I don't see any of them over 210 calories.
  20. My Dr. told me the procedure last about an hour and a half....
  21. I love this yougart....
