I went from a 42D to a 38B and somehow they are still kind of perky! Hoping the last 15lbs all come right from my thighs!

some pics-- almost 6 months post up loving the sleeve!! first 3 are before, second 3 are after!

Good luck!!! you will be so happy!

Warning: This is GRAPHIC! have only slimed about 6 times post-op. the best way to desribe it is after eating something a.) you don't chew well enough b.) something your sleeve doesn't tolerate c.) if you eat too much also I will sneeze multiples times if I eat a little too much-- and have heard this from other sleevers Sliming is a lubricating response your body has to the food in your sleeve. I have a stuck feel in my chest/ throat. Then i burp and finally I throw up big slimy balls of mucousy slime. No food comes up. sometimes just once and I feel better but on one occasion when I ate beef Jerky at 2 months post op I tottally slimed for like 2 hours :-( feel free to ask more questions. The best way to avoid is to take small bites, chew well, don't over do it and try new textures/ foods slowly.

Absolutely!!! I feel and look great!

This post made my day! SOOOOO Happy for you!!!

Debi I thought you were like 35!!!! Thats how old you look in your pic!

I wish you good luck with your revision! I really hope you get some results!!

Whats your goal weight dear? Sounds like you are gaining muscle working out!!! I think you will lose very slowly now that you are so tiny!!

Honey, I broke up with my fiance last February! A few days before Valentines! I had a broken heart for months and months-- then I decided to change my life and I got the sleeve in August. Now I am seeing an amazing guy and beating guys off with sticks-- lol j/k... kind of. Love yourself this Valentines day and you will find the person of your dreams soon enough!!!! :wub:

Thanks for sharing!

Just in time for Valentines day! plus once you lose much of your weight this becomes a lot more fun :Banane59:

lol I have never thought about this! I have lost zero weight in my butt and thighs! top half is another story! We all have our trouble areas I guess

I know I get so much more attention from the opposite sex-- I am not sure I know what to do!!!

Congrats! I am at 6 months tomorrow!! Keep up the good work !! :party4:

We are sleeve sisters! Congrats on your progress-- we are very close in stats :-) We will make it to goal!! Keep up the good work :-)

Yes I have but I don't have any bald spots or anything, just lost maybe 1/4- 1/2 the volume. It seems to be slowing down now. It started at 3.5 months. As you can see from my pics my hair looks just fine!

Thats about the rate I have been losing too and i am very happy with that at well!

congrats!!!!!!

at my heaviest I weighed 262, I am 5'4'. I was sleeved weighing 255, and i am currently 178!

I have been eating a few salads a week since 2 months out with no probs!

for me it is usually the quanity of what I eat, but everyone is different. I only got the slimes once from chicken breast and I eat it all the time and it was no different so I think is just depends on what kind of mood your sleeve is in! I have gotten the slimes 6-7 times total since Aug. so it gets less and less

you look stunning!!

I agree with Kelly L. Its thrush- plus I am a nurse :-) you can get a Diflucan pill you can swallow. I got it a week after surgery as well

I have gone to a few support meetings as well and I have found a wide range of people. It seems like most the sleevers are in their 20's like me. There was a poor man with a lap band that he has had for 3 years and he is over 500lbs. I hope he consideres revision to Sleeve!
