I love my sleeve, no regrets. I had a great doctor, monthly support groups and lots of family and friends that fully supported my decision.

2months is when i really started to notice, my pants were falling off, shirts where huge. I am 4 months now and last night in the shower I almost lost my wedding ring which used to squeeze my finger it was so tight.

The blood thinners can affect your period, also the hormones you are releasing.

There is just a way to give advice and a way to judge. There are many judgmental people on here who get snappy at people who struggle. They know its wrong or they know it could hurt them that's why they post on this site. I think people should just answer the questions asked not scold people. I've been scolded on here and it didn't help me all I got were a bunch of people telling me a bunch of crap I already knew. my point is think before you speak. Having the sleeve makes no one on here an expert on everyone else. Advice is fine, informing or trying to teach is fine. But to belittle someone because they struggled and cheated is out of line and makes me not yup even want to use this forum.

No need to make someone who struggles feel even more ashamed than they already are. Its one think to give advice and another to judge. just because it was so easy for you to follow doesn't mean it is for everyone else. I was eating things I shouldn't on my liquid diet and I don't feel guilty. Your body will tell you what you need to know when you eat something you're not suppose to and you will go through the discomforts and learn what you can and cannot eat. I recommend staying with your diet and not cheat but I bet we are not the only ones who have cheated. Not many people will admit when they have cheated. But reading some of theses responses tick me off cuz it always turns in to omg I can't believe you would risk your life or omg you need counseling. Just cuz you had the sleeve does not make you an expert! Just sayin!

i'm 4months out and have never had any burping issues. There are a few foods that bother me and cause some burping but i woul say on average i burp less than 3 times a day.

i was allowed to drink it as soon as i came home on full liquids.< /p>

I have hit 75lbs today, had surgery March 21. I am so excited. It actually go me off the couch and i walked 1.5 miles. Only crappy part i have been wearing sandal and noticed while walking that my sneakers are to big now. I am definatly ok with that being the only down side of my day.

I'm really happy for you, but slightly disappointed this thread isn't about the greatest boy band from my childhood.

My daughter is a quite a bit older, shes 12. I told her i was hiving the surgery to lose weight and get healthy. I told her the Dr was gonna put 7 small holes in my stomach and 1 large hole and that when i came home i was probably gonna be tired, sore and cranky. I let her ask any questions she had. I left it up to her if she wanted to see me in the hospital. She did come up to see me and thinks it's funny that i don't remember because of all the pain meds. But she was a great little nurse when i got home. lol she even helped her dad cook dinner the 1st week or so after i got home.

I was losing about 4lbs a day the whole second week but then stalled for 3 weeks and I am now losing 2-4lbs a week.

I agree with everyone else, buy second hand for everything except bra and panties. Those I buy new.

27lbs the 1st month and about 10 per month since then.

I was sleeved in March, and so far no regrets, i was scared leading up to my surgery date but I think that is normal. I have had no complications and think this is the best thing i have ever done.

So I have never in 33 years had a problem with lactose.... Until day 4 post op and then it decided to kick me in the ass! ^_~ I had no idea how many foods lactose is in until I developed this intolerance. I have switched to lactaid milk for my shakes, purchased lactaid pills, and I avoid foods with lactose. I have found the pills help but I still feel a little sick with them. Any other advice?
So..in a glass full way of thinking.... If I ever feel constipated all I have to do is drink a very small glass of milk.
Things could be a lot worse but I hope this goes away sooner rather then later.

So tonight I was taking a bath and I realized that I fit in the tub a whole lot better. My hips are not stuck up against the sides as much and the Water actually flows behind me. BUT more importantly, when I looked in the mirror afterwards, I could actually see my girl parts for the first time in 3 years. Lolol
