Lol!

Very intriguing... I am following this to see if anyone has had an experience with this

I, for one, and so glad I had the gas x strips! They, as well as walking frequently, were lifesavers :-D best wishes

Awwww, from the mouths of babes!! My four year old asked me where my fat tummy went? Lmao!!!

I was sleeved 12/19/12 and am down 71 pounds. My doc says right now to be getting between 850-1000 calories.I struggle to get to 900, but that is my daily goal. I feel that as early out as we are that much calorie consumption can slow loss. Right now what works is the fact that we can take in so little and feel okay. But I do understand about wanting to have a properly functioning metabolism. I plan on keeping my calories at my docs goal and when the time is right, increasing calories to reset my metabolism. Please do discuss this with your doctor, you dont want to sabotage yourself. As for loose skin, mine isn't bad but its there. The more I workout the better it looks :-D Best wishes to you

Woot woot

Best wishes to both of you

I hope to see all of you at the wls group meeting tonight!

Woot woot!

I was sleeved 12/19/12, my energy level was pitiful until about 3-4 months out. It will pick back up, just follow your docs instructions and even if you're tired try and get some walking in. This is a wonderful new chapter in our lives, even with the rough patches. Best wishes to all :-D

I'm working on mine!

For scares I love a good horror flick or haunted house.... Lol, for scars I use mederma.

I need a butt! Lol, congratulations!

I started meeting with the surgeon before I was approved. I had to complete six months of weigh ins one psych eval and one nutritionist appt before I was approved by insurance. Once I got approval my surgery was two weeks later :-)

Fiddleman, I cannot even begin to tell you how many of your posts I take screenshots of!! I get so many helpful tips and tricks, thank you!

No problem!

I wait. I worry that drinking too soon after eating will push the food through my sleeve too quickly and I will be hungry sooner than necessary. I don't know if this is a fact or not, just a concern that I have.

I love a long island, one is usually more than enough. Lol!! I will indulge maybe once a month. I am just under 5 months out, and I really want to be at goal so thats pleanty for me :-D
