  1. I am 2 years out and had a baby almost 3 months ago. I cant seem to loose the last 15-20lbs. I think my sleeve stretched. I can eat a lot more and I dont know what to do. Any advice? Thanks Liv
  2. Hi...Im 8 months pregnant and I have gained 25 pounds so far! I was wondering what others have gained and if its easy to drop after the baby? I know I need to gain for the baby but, after losing almost 100lbs I do not like seeing the scale go back up!! I also feel my stomach has stretched a lot being pregnant. I was never hungry before and now I can eat constantly. Will that also change after the baby?
  3. The new me showing of my muscles Hi everyone....Just checking in its been a long time. I reached goal and now being 15 months out I found out im EXPECTING!! I cant believe it. I am super excited, scared and everything in between. I am most worried about gaining all my weight back. If anybody has good advice or pregnancy info I would love to hear it. Thanks
  4. I will be a year out may 18th. My hubby and I are seriously ready to start a family. Anybody have any input? concerns? or has anyone been pregnent after sleeve surgery? Just looking for advice! Thanks much
  5. Hi guys, Im almost a year out now and feel my sleeve has stretched out a bit. I can eat a lot more and I notice junk food goes in very easy. How do I stop my complusive eating that is starting up again. I got down to 125 and have gained back 3 pounds. I need help.....any advice?
  6. Hi guys its been a few months since I logged in. I am 6 months out and I went from 200lb to 132. I eat whatever I want to and I still get full pretty fast. I have been going to the gym and my skin has tightened up but I have A LOT of stretch marks. Anyone have tips to diminish these lines??? Also vitamins still make me sick and sometimes I still throw them up. I was thinking about Flinstone vitamins. Has anybody used those??? I also bought calcium chews from Target but it does not specify if there citrate or carbonate. Should I avoid them or use them up??? Any opinions would be great. Thanks!
  7. My taste buds are sooo out of wack. Almost everything I try has a different taste. I find meat is the biggest change. I cant stand it. Ive tried everything...cooked every diff way and still its gross. Before surgery I could eat meat all day everyday. Nope not anymore! Thank god my morning shake gives me 50 grams protein.
  8. Christie you look amazing. I love the hair cut! I find myself nibbling on bad carbs here and there. I dont think there is anything wrong with treating yourself. I believe its about portion control and with surgery we deff can handle that lol. I have been feeling guilty about surgery tho. I feel discouraged that I needed surgery to buckle down and eat right, smaller portions and finally working out. I have had a few negative comments from friends about my surgery but I try not to let there opinions get the best of me. But you are doing great and again you look so good!!!
  9. At my 2 month I stalled for few weeks and now again at 4 months I have only seen the scale move a few pounds. I dont let it bother me I just keep doing what Im doing. I am losing just very slowly!!
  10. I cant even run my fingers through my hair without clumps coming out. It is a very scary feeling. I lose hair all day long its all over me, my car, my shower. I do hope it stops soon or I will be bald...
  11. I dont notice much cravings but I get horrible cramps days before my period...:scared0:
  12. Im almost 4 months out and my hair started falling out a month ago. I feel like im going to have bald spots soon. When will it stop???:scared0:
  13. Thanks Tiff I'm such a worrier lol. So my stomach should be fully healed by now right? Is there any otc medicine we shouldn't take? I hope I don't get a stomach bug I would be so scared of getting dehydrated. After my wls I got a fever and was actually diagnosed with some disease I had no idea I had. Ive been on medication for it since. So Ive been a mess and scared about things happening to me since surgery. But thanks again Tiff.
  14. Now that fall is upon us I already feel a sore throat starting. So that leaves me wondering how many post ops report when they get sick to there surgeon. Is it important to keep them informed if we get cold or flu?? Is it more dangerous after wls to get sick with a stomach bug? Since we wouldn't be eating much or worse keeping anything down. Just curious...I work with kids I catch everything in the winter!
