Just wondering if anyone has tried p90x or insanity after the sleeve and had success. I am 2 weeks out and am contemplating trying this after the first of the year once my healing is over.

Don't do it, find something else you like and indulge there, the carbonation is so bad for sleeve. Once it's stretched there is nothing the doctor can really do as you are already at 85% stomach loss. If you like the taste let it go flat then drink it but please don't jeopardize your sleeve.

My sister had lap-band about 8 years ago. She lost 80lbs. She told no one but very close friends and family. As she started loosing weight everyone came up to her asking how she lost her weight. She lied and said "diet and exercise". Some of her over weight friends wanted advice and help loosing weight. When they weren't successful she felt horrible and wanted to tell them. She was always afraid someone new the truth and she keep lying to them. It was really a struggle to keep it a secret from some and not from others.I had my surgery last Friday. I have told EVERYONE and I'm so glad I did!!!! Everyone has been so supportive. They are calling me skinny-minnie. Calling and checking on me and when I tell them how much I have lost they are hooting and hollering. I also thought it would give me more accountability when I was out eating with my friends. That's when I always did my worst eating. I'm so glad I've told everyone.
I'm not so sure that telling people you lost weight through diet and exercise is lying. I just had Surg last Monday and had lost 45 over my three month pre op diet. If you do not abide to the nutrition plan/diet you can defeate all that the surgery can do. I did tell family, friends, and co-workers, I wish I wouldn't have. That is all they want to talk to me about, I'm no longer buddy, I'm the dude who had weightloss surgery. But I would not feel bad telling people I didn't know I lost by diet and exercise at all, because I feel that surgery alone allows for bad habits to slip back in, eating responsibly is a life long habit.

Rev. I will just have to take precaution. The security I have as a big girl is knowing that all the boyfriends I have had have liked me as I am. I guess I'm just going to have to learn how to adjust to being smaller! Next month will be my surgery (fingers crossed!!)Just think of it this way. From what you have experienced, once youve lost your weight you will have the ability to see men for who they are as people and respond accirdingly. Just remember who you are and that God has someone who will love you for you.

That is your body responding to ketosis, this happened to me years ago with the Atkins diet, the problem is sometime you can't tell...but everyone else can!

Caleb's mommy' date=' I totally understand. I like you am also pretty young, 22. However I'm not married or coupled up. My thing is not wanting to get attention from guys I just want a guy to also be attracted to my non physical good qualities. I fear that when I lose weight I will attract guys that only like me based on appearance. I feel like emotionally I will always be a big girl because that's how I became an adult and when I had major transformation and maturity! I cannot emphasize enough to my friends that I'm getting the surgery so I can like me and I can feel good. Most people think its about aesthetics or vanity![/quote']I fear that you might struggle, I can see from your profile pic you look beautiful, once you loose weight men will take notice, but there are those that may have already taken notice.

I think bigger girls are so cute, it's a shame that our society is so size concerned. I didn't get my surgery because of the way I look, I got it so I don't get sick.

Lol, I am not worried about looking ugly, but I wont look mean anymore. I like when people cross the street when I walk by. I'm a big Teddybear, now I will look like a starved Teddybear...

I'm sure it depends on Dr as well.

I was 375 at 5'7" and was told by my physician my insurance would only allow surgery once I got under 55 bmi, at the above stated weight I was at 59 bmi. So yes being at a higher bmi above 55 increases fatality in this surgery. There are other factors such as age over 50, being male ( no, seriously ) and having other issues like heart disease, kidney issues etc

Good luck

If I may, as a man, husband, & counselor, ALOT of men are nervous about the attention you will get because of weight loss. It's not that he doesn't want you to lose weight, but what if there was a Bbd (bigger better deal). You are his and he is afraid that he will not be able to compete. This may not be true for all but this is for some. Seek a professional and be honest this can be a great situation for both of you.
