  1. That thing that you suck in the air? I tried to use it every hour for the first week...am I supposed to use it after that? I was told for only a week
  2. Pre surgery I hit up the gym 5-6 days per week and although I got the okay to go back to the gym at the one week mark I cant seem to do as much anymore. I get winded quickly and have to take breaks more often. And I also get tired now being on top when my fiance and I get it on lol. I feel like I dont wanna be boring. I lost 26lbs so you would think things would be easier but its not. Anyone else experience this? Is it gonna get better. I'm 2.5 weeks out.
  3. How do you know where it was taken out? Just the larger incision? My largest was like an inch and that was in the middle, the rest are a half inch or less
  4. I'm not married but have been with my SO for 5 years and although I am only 2.5 weeks out I feel like this is gonna help us in the long run. I have always been a big woman and my fiance likes that but he will love me regardless of size...he is 165 so he doesnt need to lose weight but he has been getting a tummy that he doesnt want and me eating healthy is helping him eat healthy. He used to get fast food a few times a week...I gave that up years ago but recently I forbade it from our house so that is helping him. ..two healthy people in a relationship is the best
  5. Woohoo! Can't wait to be in onederland too
  6. Haha mine too (about the boob shots)...I had to be careful of my incisions the first week or 2.
  7. I would think they would be gone by then if you use scar cream...maybe I'm naiive but im 2.5 weeks out and the incisions are almost gone and I may begin to use scar cream so those will be gone soon.
  8. I feel like the odd one. Everyone talks about this being so hard but water (It doesnt matter what temp) is the easiest for me and its flavorings that are hard to drink because of sweetness of them.
  9. Sorry I'm being too much this post is too funny
  10. I went to the movies last week at a week post op anf just brought my water...when I go to the movies I usually eat before hand and popcorn is usually only wanted because of my head hunger I think
  11. Or like it reminds me of when there are referal programs and if you refer someone you get paid...no one else advertises this way.
  12. And you can also write your experience without advertising for the dr and the facility. I dont think I ever wrote my drs name unless someone asked me. I understand the real posters but some are legit not real. These people all have the same writing style? Cmon. And these few people have like 4 posts
  13. I'm not saying all aren't real but there are some that are way too similar
  14. Has anyone else noticed the unusual amount of posts by people from the same few drs in Mexico talking about their sleeve journeys? The posts are so frequent and awkwardly similar that it makes me wonder if the people writing them are real and if they are real if they are told to write this? They are long posts too and usually within a few days of their surgery date.
  15. Why does it seem that everyone with this Dr and other drs in Mexico write long entries about their journey...I have never seen one for an American dr.. not a criticism just an observation because all of them seem so similar it makes me feel like you were told to write this. Once again this is just an observation.
  16. My Dr said No pills for months
