Wow !!! You go girl!!! What a huge dirrence . You look faboulous

Congrats is amazing what the sleeve can do

So the 23rd this month is going to be my 3 months mark.I had my follow up appointment today , a few days early .Well I'm thrilled to say that lab results were excellent and for the first time in more than 7 years , I'm officially NO LONGER, insulin resistant :) I do have PCOS and my symptoms improved a lot. It's been an amazing journey so far . My total lost is 57 lbs including pre op diet and I have only 29 lbs more to go. Even that I started with a "low" BMI of 38,It hasn't been easy. I'm busting my butt at the gym 5 times a week. Exercise has been very important for my success , and I'm looking forward to continue exercising So far my surgeon said I had lost about 60% off my excess weight .What else I can say , I LOVE my sleeve , I'm having more energy and even my libido is now high lol . Thank you sleevie!!!

Maybe you need to talk to your surgeon about switching your anti reflux medicine? Nexium works well for me. As for the constipation is a problem that I still having at almost 3 months post. Is hard to get all your water in. Have you try Miralax? My dr prescribed miralax is like benefiber but better,is a white odorless powder with no flavor that you can add to your protein shakes or juice. A lot people taste buds change after surgery,some people don't tolerate eggs at all. Maybe you need to make them softer? I hope that you feel better soon

Congrats looks like you are doing an outstanding progress :)

Lol I thought about it was a 40 oz too and I almost have a heart attack lol

Congrats lady!!! Looks like you are doing great I wish you get better soon so glad everything went well

girl you rock lol

You can start exercising from now if you want That will help to speed your weight loss. You can start researching around protein drinks,so you have an idea which one you like the most from now. Time will fly by is almost the 15 hang in there , I will see ya at the losers bench soon

wow you are doing amazing!!!! keep it up!!

Hi, We all have stalls,is something that we can't stop I do have a week where I can lose 2-3 lbs and then 2 weeks later I lose 0. I do have a hard time still eating slow,I eat fast,is something I haven't been able to change even after surgery. I suggest you to start going to the gym,trust me exercise is huge in this process. I even see the difference on me. As you can see I was sleeved recently in November 11' and I have done a pretty good progress so far. ( a least I think so lol ) I do work out 5 times a week, I do cardio and weights. As soon as you start becoming more active,you will notice that you have more energy to work out and everything else will fall in place Good luck!!

oh my I can't imagine,I love chips too I would be very upset. Just be strong and try to ignore her,get your self some yummy grapes,a string cheese or an orange :)

My nutriotinist told me that pretty much you can eat any lean meat as long is apple sauce consistence . I had the thin deli ham just like that. I had tuna salad,chicken salad and even wendy's chili blended lol It was good actually

My nick name is my real name,that 's how original I am LOL

Congrats :)

will change mine now

yeap I still have problems with chicken if is too hard I can't eat it it sucks

Tammy!!! I am IN :smile1: Love the idea SN : Liliana Arleen SW: 159 lbs GW: 144 lbs CW: 159 lbs to lose 15 lbs

Congrats Wishing you a speedy and easy recovery!!

I didn't had my surgery in Mexico but all I hear about Dr Almanza and Dr Alvarez is great things. I haven't hear people having problems going over there. Everything will be just fine… Good luck!!

It will get better!!! The first days I felt like a truck hit me lol with the days going by, I started feeling better. Don't worry about weight now,your stomach still swollen.

The bougie size is just a guide,It doesn't determine the size of your stomach . I am an example of a 38 bougie size and look at my weight loss progress in less than 3 months :wink1: If I am you won't worry much about the bougie size, you will do great!! Good luck !!!

Not me!!! I been a good girl on this forum lol

I have PCOS and I almost 3 months post op. I struggled with infertility for almost 6 years. I have one daughter who is 2 and she is the light of my life. You will be fine I am off my metformin since before surgery and my insulin has been a bit high, I hope that for my 3 month post op check my insulin is better I wish you the best of luck and keep in touch!

wohooo congrats girl Keep it up
