    This thread makes me wanna call for a group hug. I have learned to hate Halloween over the years for this very reason.
    It's nice to know I'm not alone.
    The good news is no one will be asking me to play Santa in December.

    Of course you're headed for a stall. Everyone sleever is. Especially if you weigh yourself often.
    Best way to avoid the stall is to weigh yourself once a month and keep doing the right things.
    Good luck!

    billyvmom reacted to Catracks in Loose Skin   
    I have what my husband calls "The kangaroo pouch." It looks fine under clothes, but it is a bother. When I was 35 and lost 60 pounds my skin went back pretty much. Now at 47 with 120+ to lose on a 5'1" frame ... not so much.
    I will get the pouch fixed because it gets in my way. The arm skin, inner thigh skin and sagging boobies aren't that bad. The puppies still look good in a bra and 47 year old me is not wearing short shorts much (you know, the one's that practically show one's butt?)
    Any excess skin is COMPLETELY worth it.

    My first thought was it was pure speculation because someone was jealous of the weightloss.

    They let me leave with a low grade fever. I am not really nauseous but, the few times I've been sick feeling I smelled alcohol wipes and it cured the nausua. I kept down 30 cc of Tomato Soup and 30cc of pudding my Water intake is the worst . It's so hard to try to get it but I'm too ful.

    I have lupus and I had a few complications but, would do the surgery over tomorrow! I will have 3x the complications by not getting the weight off. You have to make the best decision for you but, I would recommend the sleeve to anyone who needed weight loss surgery.

    Weigh yourself daily and if you need to add calories to maintain weight towards the end add extra Protein Shakes or healthy calories so you don't slip into bad habits. Add calories in that are things like you will be eating after surgery. You can do this!
