Congrats! How exciting for you :-)

I must be a major rebel. I drink a large latte, 2 sparkling waters and a diet coke EVERYDAY! :-) My weight loss is fantastic and I enjoy these things.

you are looking great!!!! Beautiful before and after!!!!

Thank you all!!!!!!!!!!

Try making some egg salad. It was so tasty back then! I couldn't eat tuna for a few weeks either.

Jealous! I have lost weight everywhere but my thighs!

I drink a diet coke and a few sparkling waters everyday. Zero problems. And my weightloss is great. No stretching of the sleeve!

Relax! It happened to me too. It's not weight gain. It's probably water weight/ etc. theres no way you can be consuming enough calories to gain weight. Keep on plan and don't weigh yourself for a week and you will be down those pounds plus some. This is normal!

I have started dating too. :-) anyone worth dating will not judge you. I ended up telling my date before we met. (it was a fix up) and we are on date #5. I will admit it is a little odd to eat a few bites of my meal but he didn't care! And if your date cares move on to the next guy! If you don't want to tell someone up front that's ok too. You can meet for a drink and nurse a glass of wine for hours.

My hair loss started at 4 months out!!!! Hope for the best but expect the worst. I thought it wouldn't happen to me either and I have lost 25% of my hair in a few weeks now. :-(

My surgeon does not prescribe this.

I had a Mirena IUD for 3 years and I liked it, I had no periods. Right now I am using the Nuva ring-- so far so good!

I have noticed the same thing! I would love to help let me know :-)

I have been eating it since 3 months out

I just said this to my friend!!! That I am a smaller version of the same exact chubby body!!! Ha ha

I went back 6 days post op but I'm a workhorse. 2 weeks is perfect.

I drink sparkling water and a diet coke everyday BUT you need to wait until you are at least 6 weeks out because you are such high risk for a leak until you are 100% healed. Please wait! Your new tummy is healing!!!

How far out are you?

I don't do any sugar free stuff. It's toxic!!! I feel like my weight loss has be great even with my daily vanilla latte wih regular vanilla syrup!

I had just turned 28 when I was sleeved. Best decesion I have ever made! Life is so different and it keeps getting better.

I had it from 2008-2011, and I loved it for the first while cause I had no periods. And I also had no significant weight gain. But it does take away libido have its been in a while. So I had it removed. I am getting the Paraguard copper IUD. (no hormones! yay)

I did tuna with light miracle whip and really mashed it up or some really soft fish with tartar. Be careful with chicken so early out!!

oh dear, I am kind of going through the same thing. But quite honestly-- if someone cares about you enough they will not be repulsed by your saggy skin. You can see from your photo you are beautiful and I am sure he sees your inner and outer beauty. I wouldn't want to be with someone that couldn't look past so saggy skin-- that will probably get better with time. I plan to start removing clothing soon with the hunky gentleman I am seeing and I plan to give him a tiny warning-- something like-- " I am a work in progress, :-)" and just tell myself it is what it is.

yay I just joined you in the 180s too!!! it is soooooo fun!!!
