  1. Anyone start thinking about having plastic surgery here in town? I still have a while to go before I'm ready but I'm already doing research!!
  2. Sounds like a virus. Hopefully it runs it's course. Be careful about trying to keep hydrated!! I hope you feel better soon!!
  3. Are you just on a liquid diet or are you into your fasting period? I didn't have any preop requirements so if that's the case it is highly unlikely.
  4. Chapstick was a life saver!!!
  5. Count me in too!! I just got rid of a ton of clothes... All mine are either too tight, too big, too long, or too short!!
  6. Thanks!! I honestly can't believe how different things have become over the last 5 months!! If you have any questions feel free to ask!!
  7. On a positive side to the hair loss... I had super thick and curly hair before surgery. Now that my hair has thinned, it's actually easier to style and looks cuter when it's down. I know my loss isn't from a lack of Protein since my hair feels super healthy and soft. And again... I'll take the 97 pounds any day!!
  8. It hasn't been easy, but it's been worth it!!
  9. Thanks!! It feels good! I still have a long way to go, but i am determined and hopeful!!
  10. Yeah... I hate it when that happens!!
  11. I'm a paramedic in the fun and exciting Las Vegas 911 system!! I'm also in nursing school and am shooting for my NP
  12. It never ceases to amaze me how much my life is changing!! I haven't had a day off in I don't know when!! There is always something to do!! My social life has improved exponentially!! I love my sleeve!! Surgery March 4, 2013 at 368.8 pounds Current weight 274.4 Lost 94.2 pounds!! I really want to hit that 100 pound mark by my 6 months!! I swim 2-3 days a week, play soccer on Mondays, and have begun training for a triathlon!!
  13. I play soccer, swim laps at least 2 days a week (I'm training for a 2.4 mile lake swim in October), and I just started couch to 10k. And as for Vitamins... I take a prenatal, Omega 3 6 9, Biotin, and b12.
  14. I went from 3 pony tail twists up to 5! It's discouraging to see... But I'll gladly take it with the 93 pound loss in 5 months!!!
  15. I had no weight restrictions after 2 weeks. Check with your doctor. Personally, I feel at the 20 day mark that I could have done it!! Regarding the weakness... You body is adjusting. It does get better after week 2 of surgery
