Post Op Octosleevers 2012. Welcome To The Losers Bench!
SkinnyMinnie2Be replied to SkinnyMinnie2Be's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
My understanding on clothes sizes is that bigger sizes have more room than smaller sizes example. I started at 280 and a size 18-20. Today, 35 lbs lighter I am still a size 18. I was a size 18 when I was 230 (prior years) which means even if I lose 50lbs, my clothes size won't change much. But when I get into the smaller sizes (12 or 10) I may only need to lose 10-15 lbs and drop a size. Don't be discouraged! I hope this makes sense -
Looking great! What was ur start weight? I'm also 5 feet and trying to gain some insight

So I am just a few days over 3 weeks out. Like most of us here..food was my savior. Good food was so satisfying. Of course I know now is the time to be healthy - I have been and I will be. No way I will let myself go back to the way I was. I just want to know what people now consider satisfying. I know all about the gym etc however I don't have clearance from my doc to start the gym yet. What are people craving in their new healthy lifestyle other than food (gym? Shopping? Self pampering)? Please share!!

I am 3.5 weeks post op. to be honest I was really bad with my Vitamins for the first 2 1/2 weeks..I did not take them. I have started being more diligent...noticed very slow weight loss so I'm hoping the vitamins will help speed if you this is what I take but keep in mind the doses are why my doctor and NUT have recommended and u should consult with urs before taking anything liquid Calcium - I take the webber natural brand 15 mls a day which gives me 500mg of calcium and 200 iu of Vitamin d Vitamin D - 1000iu a day Vitamin b12 - 1000mcg once a week Iron - 70 mg elemental iron once a day because I'm anemic Vitamin C 1 a day I forget the dose but I take it with my iron to help absorb...and away from my calcium because calcium doesn't allow the body to absorb iron if taken closely Biotin - 2000mg a day Chewable Multivitamin once a day I take before I eat anything in the day. I take my multivitamin 30 mins before a meal first thing in the morning, I take my calcium in the afternoon and in the eve I take the rest. Hope that helps!

Ok...today I Jumped Off The Cliff!
SkinnyMinnie2Be replied to heanster18's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
What u are feeling is totally natural. In fact if u weren't feeling scared/nervous etc, I would be worried. I felt all those same fears. Even the minute before they took me in as I was praying I contemplated getting off the bed and saying I'm out!! 3 weeks later I see results and don't regret my decision at all! Especially on a site like this ur gonna hear horror stories...stories of complications...stories of anything! But what u rarely are are the uneventful surgeries, the simple recoveries..think about it. When u turn on the news or open up a newspaper, are u going to read or hear about the thousands of planes that landed safely? No. Ur going to hear/read about the 1 plane that crashed. All surgeries come with a risk but this is one of the safer ones. To be honest the surgery was easy. It's the mentality that comes with the pre op that I found the toughest. Hope I shed some light on how ur feeling. Wish u nothing but the best on this journey!! -

Tell Me About Your New Clothes

Tell Me About Your New Clothes
SkinnyMinnie2Be replied to Boofster's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
So I cleaned out my garage today. Found 4 60Litre tote bins full of clothes that I have purchased over the years that either got too tight or were bought in smaller sizes in hopes that some diet at some time would work. Didn't realize how much clothes I had! So for now I'm going to stick with those. I am going to allow myself a certain $$ amount per month once I reach 199lbs (currently 248). I feel like the clothes I have will fit me until then. I won't be buying a new coat or boots this winter. I have pea coats from 3-4 years ago that we're too snug...but I remember I was about 220lbs when I bought them a few years back. Boots will be my great next year:) I hope to be at goal by next October goal being 130-140 lbs so far I have a size 10 dress I'm hoping will fit me in the spring/summer. My fiancé and I need to get some engagement pics done!! -
