Just approved and scared
I have PCOS as well, I would go through all of it again. I am so glad I did it. Everyone reacts differently. I was terrified it was my first surgery also. I can answer any questions about my experience that you may have.

When Does the Scale Tell You It’s Panic Time?
I weigh every other week. I give myself a 5 lb range if I get above that I refocus get back on track and get back down where I want to be. We do need to listen to the scale because we don't want it to get out of hand, been there done that right? Just remember DO NOT WEIGH DAILY!!!

What’s Your Best Food Swap?
I miss pizza!!! But I make homemade pizza using a zucchini crust. I also do mashed cauliflower instead of mashed potatoes, I use non fat creek yogurt anytime something calls for sour cream or cream cheese. I also make veggie Pasta, and I use ground turkey anytime you would use ground beef.

Hey y'all I will be hanging out in the chat room this evening. Maybe we can revive it a little bit if anyone would like to join me

Husband left me!
Wow. I agree maybe try counseling if not, you don't need that kind of stress on you and you will have plenty to focus on yourself.

My first week sleeved 9th February
I got very dehydrated and had to stay another night. I gained weight also because they pump you full of liquids! Just keep at it and you will start moving in the right direction.

Chat Room
A while back there used to be quite a few people frequenting the chat room to socialize or kill time at work. I went in there today and there wasn't a single person logged in. I was just wondering if anyone ever goes in there anymore? TGIF y'all

Back in the Game Again

New at this but back in the Game! Houston, Texas
I love Houston! Congratulations on your weight loss, you should try one of the piano bars downtown. They are a fun time and the crowd is older than college aged.

Veteran Sleevers please chime in.
I shoot for 75-80 grams daily and I am almost 4 years post opp. I also work out 4-5 days a week so I actually need more.

Bra math - don't try this at home.
Your post cracked me up! What a fun lady you sound like! I went from a 42 DD to a 34 DDD the smaller you get the cup sizes aren't equal. Just buy what is comfortable and not too many until you reach that goal weight! Keep up the good work!

Stretch Marks and Hair Loss
Just focus on your Protein intake. The hair will grow back, keep it a little shorter, I kept mine at shoulder length it looked thicker. As far as stretch marks go, use a scar or body rejuvenating cream consistently and you will see improvement. Mine are still there but faint.

How has this surgery affected your cycles? (GIRLS)
I am almost four years out and my cycle is completely regulated. I have a 6 day cycle every four weeks. I was very irregular before the surgery.

do u feel full faster
I am almost one year our and there are still times I feel full after about three bites of something! I also dont feel hungry all the time, I usually realize I need to eat when my stomach growls!

Shower
I had my husband help me shower, I just kind of stood there and held myself still. I didn't scrub around the incisions and it really is an exhausting time. But oh it felt so wonderful!

sex after surgery
You go girl! I was told I could have sex whenever I felt up to it, I think it was about ten days for me and it was awesome! It really does only get better!

Tea tree oil shampoo, hair loss!
I just made sure I was getting in my protein and vitamins. I took biotin and used nioxin shampoo, they both helped speed up the regrowth process. Hair loss will happen but I promise it will grow back.

Questions
I was driving four days out, so if you do not have any complications you should be good, just not when your on pain medicine. My incision sites took about 6 weeks to heal completely. this is when my doc let me swim, get in the bathtub etc. Hope this helps! Good luck to you!

Before and after pics ?
This is something I am also curious about, Mine is actually not as bad as I thought it would be.
-
I knoew it was coming! But it's still messing with my head!
I always made myself evaluate the amount of food I was eating, compared to what I used to eat. Then logic kicks in, there is no way I could be eating as little as I was and not be losing weight. The stall is just a period of time to let your body catch up.
