Cosmetic Questions For Post Weight Loss Phase
SkinnyOnMe replied to Fiddleman's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I think that if lasik will make you happy go for it. But I have her told it only lasts for 10 years. As for as the skin. ... I say leave it. I don't understand why people who get the surgery act like they are abbot to launch a modeling career. You know were as big as 2 or more people and now ur in a healthy beautiful body be happy and stop obsessing. Congrats on ur weight loss! -

SkinnyOnMe commented on SkinnyOnMe's gallery image in Before and After Gastric Sleeve Photos
Thanks. I was 244 the day of surgery. Mind you in the pic I had a baby 3 months before, so I was probably 15 pounds thinner the day of surgery. But those images is what inspired me to realize that I had been carrying a lot of weight over the past few years 272 was my highest without being pregnant. I was not able to lose the weight in a reasonable amount of time and needed a tool like the sleeve. I've gone from 244 to 168 in a little over 6 months. I eat carbs and everything else but I am good the majority of the week and aware of everything I put in my mouth. I can eat quickly and more than most sleevers so I try to eat things like good salads,protein, and veggies. But I believe in a realistic diet. I am not a extremist. I do exercise but I'm just more active than anything. Instead of working out at the gym for 2 hours, I clean, walk, and just get up and do things I would have been to lazy to do before. Basically, get up and do it yourself, clean your house yourself, and take the opportunity to walk anywhere u can.... with these tools you'll do great! -

Not to say I am... but if I were to eat one or two tortilla chips 5 days out from surgery what would happen? Or a bite of chicken? Granted it is a very small amout and I chew it to liquid stage and it is only maybe once a day? I mean besides my stomach stretching and me being a bad, bad girl?

What Would Happen If I Cheated?
SkinnyOnMe replied to SkinnyOnMe's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Well I'm almost 5'6" if I stand up really tall. Lol. But I comfortably wear an 8 and size small or medium shirt because I still have dd's. 171 today! 1 pound from my goal range 150-170. -

Yes I had hunger.. that has been consistent. But you really have no choice but to eat smaller portions. My favorite thing about the sleeve is that I have to carefully plan out what I eat. Yesterday I wanted to eat a kfc biscuit but I didn't because I knew if I did that would be all I would fit. Instead I make sure I eat healthy foods and eat small meals 5 times a day. -

SkinnyOnMe replied to SkinnyOnMe's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
It gets amazingly easier. I hated my first few weeks, but every day gets better. Btw... I lost 5 pounds since my update last week.... and I ate what I wanted. -
It might not be worry. I've lost about 70 pounds and while everyone gives me compliments... I know my hubby really misses my 244lb body. He always says how he loved to feel my weight on him and how everything was so much curvier and fuller. My boobs are gone. My ass is gone. And although I do look sexier overall I understand where he is coming from. He is 180 6" and he is trying to be supportve but he saw my "weight" but never my "weight problem"

Help Protonix Not To Be Crushed?
SkinnyOnMe replied to VSGRachel's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I stopped nuvaring a few years ago because I gained 20 pounds per month the short time I was on it... I should'v sued them for the price of my surgery cause that's when most of it happened. Lol. But recently because of my sleeve brain I couldn't remember pills so I went back to nuva thinking that the sleeve would stop me from giving into the insatiable caveman hunger that I had before. Well, ithe first month was fine but this econd month I have been hungry all day and all night. The only reason I haven't gained weight is because I eat lettuce instead of fried chicken when I'm hungry. But I don't know how long it'll be b4 the loss stopsbecause of this nuva ring. And btw the 20 pound thing also happened to my friend a couple years later who was skinny! -

SkinnyOnMe replied to SkinnyOnMe's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Update** I posted this about 6 months ago. And to the newbies- you shouldn't cheat. It hurts like hell and people wo see you try will label that person that "always throws up." Like my family labeled me. I learned the hard way but I was pretty good. Now at 6 months I went from a very tight size 18 to a size 8.- 244lbs to 177, and when I tell u I am super sexy and curvy at a size 8- I tell u no lie. I eat a well balanced diet. Not for a person with the sleeve but for a person in general. I eat carbs, protein, veggies and fruits, and.... chocolate. Life is good and I'm still losing and I feel wonderfuly healthy and full of energy. Btw... I ate popcorn like 2 weeks out and nathans mini hotdogs (that I still regret) but I lived. -

SkinnyOnMe replied to VSGRachel's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I took my birth control pill 4 hours after surgery. And pills always went down better than thick volume of liquids -
You'll be able to eat more foods as u go along. I got my surgery in April and I can eat anything I want in moderation.... except wendy'sspicy chicken nuggets. Those are hellish

April Sleevers Losing Hair?
SkinnyOnMe replied to madambones's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Although I had AWESOME thick hair to begin with so a little thinnging would be ok.... its thinning right in the front where its noticeable. My doc said to "Get over it" because it won't stop until I stop losing weight. Sooo- probably 3 more months to go -
It might not be that bad. I was super concerned at first. But now that the weights coming off, I just follow all the hints offline to keping skin tight and admire my leaner body in the mirror. My belly sags a lil but its much better to look at that my fat that used to sag a lot!

Does Lactose Intolerance Reverse
SkinnyOnMe replied to mufasas-mom's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I used to have it so bad I would get high fevers and be violently ill.... now I might have a belly ache every once in a while but can handle it the majority of the time -
Same boat I am 63pounds down and went from a 42H high with no sagg to 36dd flat like pancakes. My husbnd has been less attracted to me since I lost the weight because I lost my breast and ass first! I was always comfortable as the girl with the big breast and long, full hair. Now I'm going wig shopping today and I pad my bra. Smh.

244 on day of surgery 4/25. Yesterday I was 183. My personal goal is 170 by halloween. Although I think I'll be perfectly happy at 170 I will probably go atleast 10-15 lower so I have some wiggle room.

Acid Reflux.... Will It Get Better

Acid Reflux.... Will It Get Better
SkinnyOnMe replied to Seemebetter's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My doctor said that there is a procedure tht could fix I... but it also may take away some of the restriction. I am hinking about it if I still have it a a year from now. I want to be able to eat more. I was steadily losing weight b4 my surgery... it just wasn't going fast enough and consistently enough so I think I can handle a little more room in my belly after goal- even if its just salad! While I ponder whether I want to have it done.... Prevacid works great! They sell it over the counter but you have to take a double dose to make it equal to the Rx and the capsules are much bigger -
Losing Hair... Chop It All Off?
SkinnyOnMe replied to kmbrlycool's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Go short, modern cut with a lot of layers! Toy could work it! I would say highlights but I don't know how our hair would hold up to color. Maybe a rinse? -
"never Eat" And My Clothes Today
SkinnyOnMe posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Never, ever eat Wendy's spicy chicken nuggets post-op. That was a horrendous feeling I had today after attempting to eat them for lunch. Second, I went and donated 11 garbage bags (6big heavy duty) of clothes and shoes that are now huge on me. I am in a 10 from a tight 18. The only thing I kept thinking was that somebody better appreciate my beautiful clothes!!! RIP my fat clothes. [ATTACH]4629[/ATTACH]
