A few more

Thank you all so Much!! To answer a couple of more questions I have seen, My surgeon was Dr. Marina Kurian At NYU Hospital in Manhattan NYC. Like I said previously my skin bounced back pretty well! I am having a breast lift in November though. Going from a size F to a size C Has done some damage! My stomach does sag slightly as well. To all of the recent post oppers The journey is tough at first but you get used to it! It took me six months to really get the hang of having a sleeve. And as I said earlier this sleeve she gave me is tiny meaning I really can't eat a lot i eat a lot less than other sleevers that i know. My doctor told me she always makes a small sleeve to really get the full effect. To be honest I am hoping it will stretch in time!! Thank you all again for the support I really appreciate it!!

How old are you and did you have any plastics' date=' if you don't mind me asking.... Your tummy & arms look GREAT! I'm hoping there's hope for me. I'm 35 & don't have funding for plastics. Did you have a workout regimen to help get that toned look to your body? If so, dish the dirt. I wanna be tone too. Lol[/quote']

I am 23 . No plastic surgery as of now. I have a breast lift scheduled in november. I have not worked out a lot to be honest, I think maybe age is on my side because my skin really bounced back (except my breasts and tummy does sag a little)

I eat everything. The only thing that can be tough for me is bread, it expands in the sleeve and you can really feel it. I try not to eat it, although I have always been a sandwich junkie!!

To answer some questions I have read

My hair fell out a lot, it finally stopped which means I am coming to the end of my weight loss. I started at 250 now i am 128 lbs

No secrets, my surgeon made me sleeve super

Tiny so eating is kind of an issue.

Oh just realized i have two seperate profiles. One on my phone is different. Lol thats weird

Miss Latina. No secret. I just eat soo little, which Im sure u all do! My surgeon said she made my sleeve very very skinny. I dont work out and i dont diet. Which is terrible, but i work 12 hour days as a nurse. I think being 23 makes it easier to lose weight as well? Im not sure though.

I was given reglan for reflux after my surgery, i am 1 month post op and have taken an estimated 70 or so pills.... In the mean time i started dealing with extreme depression and i would also become hungry only a few minutes after eatig. Well just found out reglan can cause severe depression and it empties the stomah into the intestine faster... Beware of the drug it has caused me HELL

Unfortunately i had a crossover to smoking, i quit for a month and I am back to the pack :-( sucks but its a good relief

Is there a way to reverse this sleeve? I wish i had never done it

I feel so sick. I had my sleeve almost 4 weeks ago and my gallbladder out 4 days ago, eating anything is making me super sick. I tried to eat yogurt, i got 2 oz down and now i feel extremely sick, my stomach hurts so much and I really just dont feel good.

Im almost 1 month post op, and I keep having ravings for sausage (breakfast, spicy, chicken etc.). I of course prefer pork sausage and I'm wondering when everyone was able to eat it... I feel like a nice sausage patty would be a perfect meal! Thanks :-)

That sounds good. But i love the whole soft serve part :-)

Im in my puree/ soft food stage. I am craving frozen Yogurt! I love just plain tart, do you guys think froyo would be an appropriate snack for ny puree stage?

Ever since the sleeve ive had a depression I cant shake, ive cried everyday since my surgery, it seems to be getting slighty better but i really miss my old life

Ive been single for a long time! Missing that comfort! :-(

Hello there!!

I can have lettuce and all other crunchy veggies at 4 months

I hear about this all the time but i really never had any change taste wise!

Has anyone tried Gerber lil' crunchies? I heard they has mild cheddar puffs that taste just like cheese doodles! I really want to try them! :wub:

EVOO= extra virgin olive oil

YUM just threw a bunch of yummy sounding ingredients in my vitamix, crossed my fingers and prayed the for best, it turned out AMAZING!

1 can of small white Beans with juice

1/4 cup milk (i added more to mine since im in the liquid stage and had to strain it and keep it thin)

2 dashes of garlic powder

3 dashes paprika

2 dashes dried basil

1/4 cup aged parmesan

Wow delicious. Just throw it in the pan after blending and heat it up!

Ok BEST pre made lentils are by Tasty Bite. Theyre called "madras lentils". They are lentils and red Beans with spices in a creamy tamato based sauce... Like a chili consistancy! Yum they are SO good, i get them at costco. Not sure where else they sell them but theyre worth looking around for!

My surgeon is very serious on 3 weeks thin liquids (anything through a straw). Then 3 weeks puree. Even though it sucks (5 more days of liquids) my surgeon assured me that it is the safest way to go. Leaks are a big risk when starting puree too soon!
