hell yeah!! lol congrats! you're world is about to change

I am hoping this video will post. If not, it is Slimmfast's latest video on YouTube. She had her surgery done by Dr. Kelly, but is now following up at a bariatric clinic in the states. She's 5 months out and has some good info. Thanks for reading!!

hormonal changes also lead to hair loss.

PdxMan beat me to it LOL It truly is one of the worst things I have ever tasted

good to hear, holli!

they do an EKG and bloodwotk. i'm not sure what they look for in the bloodwork. you'll be seen by a regular doctor and cardiologist before surgery. they'll examrn you and ask you health questions. you'll be in great hands! and the marriott is awesome!!

amazing!! you look fabulous!

i actually haven't lost cup size at 3 months post op. i can wear a 38G. i was hoping to lose some lol

Yay you!! it's always inspiring to read success stories. way to go!

good luck to ya! it's amazing how much your life changes after surgery. i'm almost 12 weeks out and i feel so different. the food i was so attached to i don't even want now

congrats!! you look awesome!!

thanks everyone! i love the support i get here

Thanks everyone!!

Today is Independence Day and it will forever have a second meaning for me. Today I weighed in at 199.8!! It's been 8 years since I have been below 200lbs! I am finally feeling my freedom from the obesity hell I have been living in. I feel strong and proud. Happy Independence Day everyone!!!

thank you! i found a couple of topics. i don't feel so weird now lol

I started my period 2 days ago and can barely eat due to nausea!! I'm glad I found someone else with this issue, though I wish no suffering on anyone, of course lol I guess it's our crazy hormones. I had horrible nausea 24/7 when I was prego with my daughter so I shouldn't be surprised lol

Hi Ladies! I started my period a couple of days ago and this could be coincidental, but I am having a LOT of trouble eating. Drinking is no problem, but food makes me very nauseous. I am 10 weeks out. Anyone else have this problem?

That is so awesome! Congrats on your success!

Some people truly don't understand. We had a pitch in at work yesterday and everyone was shocked at little I ate. I even had a friend split a very small brownie with me. My portion was truly a very small bite and she said, "That's all you're eating?" lol If I hadn't grown up with a grandmother that had her stomach stapled years ago I would probably have been just as clueless. I hope your friend doesn't continue down the path of jealousy. She should be happy for your success. We are!!

i drink slim fast low carb 20 grams of protein and 2 grams net carbs and i think 180 calories. i like the taste of the chocolate.

i went to Garcia in Tijuana for $5000 through Successfully Slimmer. I don't regret it. I had a great experience and never felt unsafe(i went alone). remember that pics don't tell the whole story. do a lot of research and choose a surgeon you feel comfortable with.

Everyone goes through the "what did i do" phase. It will pass and you'll start to enjoy the weight loss and NSV's. Just keep telling yourself "it will get better". good luck to you!

Thank goodness I'm not totally nuts! A lot of times I sneeze if I start getting full lol. I thought I was going crazy so it's nice to hear that others have experienced this. Thanks, Lissa! Most of the time I burp, like Lissa, so I know it's time to stop eating. Hang in there and be careful!!

Drinking with meals can cause food to slide through faster and thus causing a person to be hungry more frequently. The diet soda is carbonated and caffeinated. The carbonation is bad for a sleeve and can cause expansion, possibly(nothing proven). Caffeine can result in a person feeling hungry more often, too.
