  1. So funny. Today I noticed mine for the first time too. It's nice to know I have bones. Lolol
  2. Sure u can! I just try to measure out my portions or else I'll eat wayyyyy too much :/
  3. Yay! I haven't worn my wedding rings in months because they are tooooooo big!! I'm waiting to size them cuz theyre platinum and it's gonna be pricey
  4. Mine has sugar free strawberry banana!!! It's delish.
  5. I NEVER DEPRIVE MYSELF!! I've noticed though that I really don't crave sweets anymore. I crave crunchy salty things. I just make sure I portion out 100 calories if I really want that snack. Thankfully My wonderful sleeve tolerates everything.

    I totally agree about the hairs being closer. As I got fatter I noticed I was LESS hairy. Because I was expanding! Lmao. Now 111 lbs lighter it's like de ja vu!
  7. I always use a straw! My surgeon says its fine as long as it doesn't bother me. I can get more fluids in by using a straw.
  8. Be prepared. My boobs were the first to go. Looks like someone popped them. Lolol
  9. I had a scare too. I had my endoscopy done before surgery and they found a " tumor" on my stomach. Well turns out its a cyst. They thought I had stomach cancer! Ughhhh. But it was tested and everything came back benign. So now it just needs to be monitored. Praying for you that it's nothing serious.
  10. How far out are you? And the answer is yes!! I love nuts. In moderation of course. For me they are a slider. I can eat a lot.
  11. Yup had one. Not as bad as u think. Put in after I was under and taking out was no biggie
  12. Yea u sure did find a slider. They're ok for an occasional snack. Not the healthiest choice. But we all need a "fix" once in a awhile
  13. Its my new favorite thing!!! I'll admit I totally DESPISE exercise. I do. Sorry but I don't workout. Ive lost 110 lbs with little exercise. I'm sure I will pay for it with loose skin, but.... Anyway my surgeon really wanted me to try swimming. But for me putting on bathing suit was out of the question. But I put my big girl panties on and sucked it up and got a bathing suit and didn't care. Now I go to the pool a few times a week and I'm loving it!!!! I stay for hours and I really work my legs and arms. So easy on the joints. Love it.
  14. That's do funny. My calves used to feel rock hard. Not like they were muscular. Now they are jiggly and loose. But in a good way.
  15. I find since eating solids I've been more constipated. I certainly would like to go more often. Used to be a twice a day pooper! Now it's a chore to try to go. :/
  16. Thanks everyone! Kathy, thats my loss!! 60 was pre surgery. Loving it!!
  17. I'd be happy with a 12 pk. Lolol.
  18. My husband and were both sleeved in April. I had no health issues. My husband has diabetes, HBP, high everything! Well.... He went for his bloodwork last Saturday. His doctor called him around 6pm personally to tell him that all his numbers were PERFECT!!' he said they were better than his own!! Doc took him off of two meds now, and after three months another round of bloodwork to see what else he can come off of. We're so thrilled for this. LOVE OUR SLEEVES!!!!!!
  19. Turkey bacon and some cheese? Cheese and some strawberries? Deli turkey ? I know u said no eggs but I make a one egg egg salad and it's the perfect amount for breakfast. Not just a boring boiled egg.
  20. I love sushi. I am 3 months post and I can handle it fine. I eat it very seldom because I'm trying to stay away from the carbs as mich as possible. But when I need my sushi fix I go and get it! I can eat like 4 pcs of a roll in one meal.
  21. I asked my surgeon WHY I can't drink from a straw. He says it not that you can't. It's if u can. Some people can't tolerate it. Gives them more gas. Told him I have no issues and can take in more fluid using a straw. He said then use a straw. Lol.
