  1. When the deformed looking bump of fat vanishes from the insides of my knees.
  2. Yes! I'm so glad all went well and you are happy. I'm also so happy to hear how it went w r4ac. I'm going with the same doc and company and I'm so excited! Enjoy being a loser!!!
  3. An I the only one feeling a little bit nervous that we haven't heard more from cool mama ?
  4. Uh. That's NOT slow loss at all!!!
  5. I'm looking at the 18th with dr. Garcia. I haven't paid my deposit yet though, so it's not set in stone.
  6. From what I've read, the RNY pouch stretches because its made out if the stretchy part of the stomach, vs. the sleeve, where the stretchy part is removed. This isn't to dh that the sleeve can't stretch but the way I understand it, it's less likely. There was a thread a week or so ago along the same lines, I'll see if I can find it. Well since I'm on my phone I can't link you to that thread, but if you search "sleeve vs. RNY" you'll find it.
  7. Oh wow! You look like a completely different person!im so happy, proud of and excited for you! It won't be long and you'll be at goal!!!
  8. Anyone who is farther out? Maybe 2 years?
  9. I'm thinking about getting a treadmill. I dunno. I had one a few years ago though and ended up selling it. I'm trying to think of something I'll actually stick to. I'm an introvert with self esteem issues so at least until I lose like 60 lbs, you're not gonna see me in a gym. I like walking until it gets super hot.
  10. http://www.stormpc.com/ww/wendie_plan.htm
  11. Something I learned While doing weight watchers that helped jumpstart my weight loss when I was on a stall is the Wendy method. Basically if you figure up how many calories you get a week, wrote out how you can still get that Amt of calories this week while having high calorie days and low calorie days. It tricks your body or something and works wonders.
  12. I've read that some become lactose intolerant afyer sleeved so the pp might be onto something.
  13. It's not fun feeling that way. (Hug) and I've been thinking the same things. "I wonder how small my portions will be next year" or "I wonder what size ill be!"
  14. Search YouTube for weightloss skin Rny skin Sleeve skin Excess skin Stuff like that. I've seen a lot of videos on YouTube. And I think the younger you are the more it should bounce back.
  15. Well, if your wife is like me, she has to pick out something like that herself. Different scents react on different people. Well, differently- so shed probably want to sample it, etc. If she's hinted though, I like happy by Clinique. Edited to add, I told a girl she smelled good today and asked her what she was wearing. She said it was "be enchanted," by bath and body works. http://m.bathandbodyworks.com/family/index.jsp?categoryId=12213569&cp=4090260.4090355
  16. I can see how that could happen! I do it now to an extent. I'll start a "diet" and then mindlessly eat something bad and think "wth?" Sigh. I don't know how recently you were sleeved bit please be careful!
  17. Yeah, that was kindof insensitive. Sigh I think my husband would do the same.
  18. How far out are you again?
  19. Dr. Garcia told me that he'd give me a copy of my surgery. I've chosen Garcia. It was close, Garcia/ponce.
  20. I'm still preop bit I'm thinking about all the things that I'm "powerless" to and trying to come up with alternatives because one day, they will be tempting to me again. Sweets, hands down, are something I'm always going to have to stay away from. The thing I'm mostly curious about though, is pizza. We are HARDCORR pizza fans here and we eat frozen ones at least once a week. I can eat 5 pieces of a frozen pizza. Tonight after that I had 3 little Debbie cakes.we would not have them if dh hadn't bought then on his way home and tomorrow is my birthday, so. Anyway. I like pizza because it tastes good but also because I have 6 children and I don't like cooking. SO What is sleeve diet friendly/healthy and as easy as pizza (ha!) for around a year out? Wwyd?
