  1. That's incredible! You look beautiful and much younger. I was sleeved Jan 25 and have only lost about 50. You are doing great.
  2. I little sore on the left side but not bad at all.
  3. I think it's good your are questioning your decision because it's a huge change and you recognize that it will be hard. But having this tool to help from regaining is the most wonderful thing ever. Best wishes, prayers.
  4. I put on twelve pounds after surgery, all fluid and it came off quickly. Yours will too stay hydrated and rest you need to heal the weight loss will happen I promise.
  5. You sure getting through the hardest part hang in there. I think it's pretty normal feelings. I wonder too if it's not acid causing your issues. I've bern dealing with trying to get the acid under control the whole time even now at terry months out.
  6. You'll be ok, stay hydrated and try to relax this is your time and your journey. Hugs
  7. Welcome to the losers bench Sharon. Best wishes to those others with surgery coming up!
  8. I agree I drink up to the meal, but not for an hour after just too uncomfortable. First time I got sick was a reheated burger, no bun. I can't do beef. Also eating slow is a big one. stay away from high sugar and fried food. Good luck.
  9. Best wishes Sharon, prayers sent. Update when you can.
  10. Great job! You look great (in both
  11. Mine started really falling out at three months. I don't like it at all and wish it would stop, but I'm still so happy with the weight loss and I thankfully have thick hair and a lot of it. I started taking biotin months before surgery, but admit I don't always get my protein in.
  12. I agree with Polly, it sounds like acids reflux. You may nerf to take your ppi twice a day and try tums too. Good luck.
  13. That's incredible. I'm two months further out and just hitting 50. I drop 10 or 12 then stall forever though. Way to go. Also I'm in the 180's and can't wear xls.
  14. Could you try a maternity belt to take some pressure off or compression shorts? Feel better.
  15. I do shakes and bars. I prefer the bars now.
  16. Yes, you ate either too fast or too much. I've done it and hate the feeling so much. I need to chew better too.
  17. That's more than I can eat at three months out. But I still had a little pain at your point. Hope you are healing well.
  18. It will get better. You are probably just very focused on yourself and the changes you are going through, probably for the first time in your life. People who haven't gone through this don't understand. Give yourself a chance and keep focused. Your moods will improve as you learn to handle the changes. Hang in there.
  19. I'm only three months out, but we had company last night. I don't eat much but nobody noticed. It's very normal. People don't really care and I just chat more and enjoy the company. I was shocked so early out things can feel so normal on tiny portions.
  20. Congrats you'll do great!
