I'm sure he wont be mad at the benifits of having you looking super fine..men just want to feel in control ..like they have a say in things. Tell them what your doing and what you need. Acceptance. Good luck

Maria2817 reacted to blackmagikcrush in C-Section Vs Sleeve Pain
Hi my name is Chris and I’m from the Bronx(NY) I will be having my surgery(hopefully) at Montefiore with Dr. Vemulapalli, so many things are running through my head and so many questions I want to ask. For all the women that can answer this; is the sleeve more painful than having a c-section?
I have had 3 c-sections and I remember that the pain from the first one was horrible but the second and third were a breeze. Lol…
Thanks

thank you ladies!!
honestly, i dont have any tips.
i lost most of my weight when i had my leak. i didnt eat for over a month & i was very sick! i was throwing up bile about 10+ times a day. it was bad!
but i guess a good tip would be, dont TRY things you know youre not supposed to have. for example, soda! i know many sleevers who picked up this habit again & it causes tthem no discomfort. i lived on soda & cut it out 8months ago & have not tried it since!
i never really "dieted". i ate what i want when i wanted. the weight kept falling off. it did kill my food addiction. when trying foods, u will see that most dont sit well & u probably will try it again but eventually will realize that you dont get the same satisfaction therefore u no longer want it.
i lived on pizza! now, pizza looks like blah to me. lol.
i didnt start working out until last week lol.
i was supposed to workout mon-fri but only worked out mon & tues. today, im back at it!
my workout routine will look like this..
monday: back, abs & biceps & 30mins cardio
tuesday: chest & triceps & 30mins cardio
wednesday: no weights, abs, 1hr cardio
thursday: shoulders & 30mins cardio
friday: legs, no cardio
sat & sun: off
now, i didnt go yesterday so im not taking off wednesday & im doing shoulders & legs on friday. hopefully, ill lose a lot more this week from exercising so hard & cutting out sweets.
my meals consist of 2 chicken breast with no skin & 2 sides of corn from boston market. a Protein bar & sometimes a Protein shake. i split the breast up into 4 meals.
i hope this helped some

Maria2817 reacted to jasleeve in What Didnt You Use That You Brought For Yourgastric Sleeve Surgery Hospital Stay?
hey guys!
im getting sleeved on tuesday & i decided to pack very little because i doubt ill use a lot of things while im at the hospital.
so heres my list of things im bringing..
1. laptop, charger & dvds (because u have to pay for the tv and i dont want to pay when i can just bring my entertaining dvds)
2. extension cord (my phone charger is short so i want it to reach the bed)
3. gas x & listerine strips.
4. toothbrush, face wash, face lotion.
5. chapstick.
im going to leave in the clothes i came in which will be a huge pair of stretchie pants & a big tshirt & a sports bra & new panties, of course.
i will straighten my hair since its down to my butt & a lot easier to manage when its straight & then ill just put it in a messy bun at the top of my head and leave it like that. lol.
QUESTION: what did you take that you ended up not using?
