Whenever I experience that feeling I just raise my arms above my head and that tends to make me feel better. I just cross my arms across the top of my head. It may sound silly but it works for me

Thanks all for the responses. I can rest more easily now.

Gosh, I eat melted cheese all the time w/o any issues.

I was so mad that he died! They can kill Derek, I was all about McSteamy!

When you start out at a lower weight you will lose at a slower pace. You can expect about 2 pounds a week until you are about 10 pounds from your goal then it slows down to about a pound a week. I started out at 172. I exercise daily, eat well and now weigh 124.

You had the sleeve at 154 pounds?

Tell them all you got the idea to have the surgery after your mothers lapband surgery......LOL....perfect revenge.

Unfortunately this is all I have in my phone pre-op.


4 months later.

I know there is a cost implication but don't wear the clothes she has outgrown, seeing you in them could be causing her a lot of pain.

Amazon. Really??!!! Lighten up you are not the word police, she was describing how she felt! Get down off the cross someone else needs the wood.

You'll be fine! I'm sure you look amazing good luck hope the dates good keep us informed how it goes and congrats on the 24lbs! That's amsxing

((((((Sigh)))))) I have no idea.
#beingsinglesucks!!!!!

You are brave going back one week post-op! I was still in a lot of pain and taking naps every day at that point. I'm glad to hear you got there fine =)

I'm almost 2 month out from getting sleeved. I've noticed my skin is very dry and flaking. Has this happened to anybody else? I'm moisturizing, but I've never had dry skin before.
Any ideas?

Are you taking an acid reducer like prilosec? Often excess acid is causing us to feel "hungry". Also, hhead hunger stinks! Good luck!

Great job!!! :-)

Oh My, your a Protein Goddess! I'm lucky to get in 60g a day. CosleeveDude has provided all the info you need. CALL YOUR DOCTOR, see if he can see you sooner.

I'm feeling a little bummed to know that the sleeve really doesn't solve the hunger thing for some of us. Shoot! I guess you don't get anything for free, huh? I wonder if the technique that each of our surgeons used can make the difference? I'm looking forward to reading TamaraS's links. I will have to say I haven't felt 'real' hunger, such as grumbling or pains, just the need to fill my sleeve. Maybe I do need to educate myself. With this seeming hunger, I can see how it would be easy to gain weight back or not lose much in the first place. Kind of scary.

Thanks Teddy...im a slave to the scale...im gonna hide it and just pay attention to my clothes for a while.

I had one down in xray the next day,before I could leave,nasty tasting stuff

Do you really think you should have that?
It's not that hard to lose weight.
You could just try taking the stairs and parking farther away.
You should try this diet, that diet, etc
I know some of those they're trying to be nice, but...I dunno. Just because I'm fat doesn't mean I wanna hear your every diet tip without asking for it =\
I think I'm most looking forward to not getting the looks and judgments. Those things really stick with you. I have been lucky not to get a ton in the past couple years, but about six months ago a car full of teenage boys drove past me and they yelled "Hey!" and then all started laughing/pointing at me. Or when i actually was losing weight a couple years ago and had worked out one morning I took the elevator up a floor at school cause I was beat and the people walking behind me made a remark about how I should be taking the stairs.
I will not miss those comments a bit.

You have such a pretty face... (often because they can't mention the rest of me).

Cant wait for people to not say oh yea the fat girl, oh yea the fat smart girl, or we dont carry that size, u might not fit, and ur still gonna have desert!, i cant believe u hungry, oh my isnt she big, loose some weight, ur so lazy( no im tierd bc of all this damn wait) u should excersice ( oh yea try that with an extra 130 on u n c) and finally that doesnt look good on u ( like we dont aready kno)
Wat do u want to stop hearing.. Vent
