ASKSARAH - Sleeve

I am like you now!
I was 5'5" 264 lbs and I am 34
I was a size 24, 3x tops then I lost a bunch of weight and now I am about 175-180 and a size 6 and a small top.

It's pretty darn near impossible to stretch your stomach out. Unless you are self abusing and even that is super painful I am sure you will not stretch it out,
A Stall is no inches or weight loss in over 30 days. Are you measuring and taking photos weekly? Not everything is scale oriented.
You should be able to eat more now. Your stomach is done healing, you should be getting all your Protein organically rather than chemically by shakes. You should be eating every 3-4 hours.
Keep tracking and measure all your losses not just the scale.< /p>
I dropped 2 full pant sizes from a 10 to a 6 with out losing a single pound.

I do 2 things, I either limit myself to 15 per serving if its inevitable or max of 40 a day.
I do need carbs to loose. Every one does. Its fuel.
If my carb #'s are low for the day I eat 2 Graham crackers with some cream cheese for my evening snack. Its a guarantee loss for me
Good luck

I won't be there, but I wanted to assure you that you are in the best of hands!
I am 2 years out and doing amazing.
This is easy and you got it!

I used dr. Ponce de leon on Feb 1 2013. I cannot say enough nice and effective things about him! The hospital they used and his coordinator. Not only did I go and have amazing results still 2 years out but I have personally sent 3 friends to him and I went with one personally to be her support person.
You will not be disappointed. You get to stay in a super clean highly effective 20 bed hospital, then you get to go shopping and stay at a luxury hotel. They take care of EVERYTHING for you. You just show up ready for a change and go home 3 days later. Its really easy and he is so great.

It hasn't bothered my husband of 3 years. I have lost over 100 lbs on a 5-5 frame. Its all in my gut and legs.
HE LOVES that he can do Oral on me and he can breathe now.
So no men don't care just enjoy the sex.

Check out Mexico. That's where I am headed!!!

I hate to object to you but this is the easy way out..... It was my only way out.
If you thought you were stuck on a mountain cliff and some helicopter had to rescue you or climb down the mountain cause you probably could which do you choose?
Duh the helicopter.
This is my helicopter!
ITs been the easiest thing so far I have ever done. The hard part?? Actually eating.

My husband did something similar. He drank shakes with me the first few months and dropped his carbs to a normal amount and cut his portions to a normal portion, Rather than eating 2 lbs of Pasta in a couple of days he cut it out altogether for instance. His reasoning is that he didn't want me to be this super hot woman and people wondering how he is with me, like I married down LOL
Whatever it takes. He lost about 50 lbs. He got frustrated and he hasn't lost much in the last few months. I noticed he is eating out a lot more. But so be it. Its not my body.
So keep up the support for him and be happy!

So don't drink them,
How far out are you? I gave them up at about 5 weeks post op. No need to drink them if you are getting plenty of Protein organically. I would rather eat than be dependent on powder and chemicals.

This is the place to do it.

How are you managing to eat enough food to gain that weight? I thought the sleeve was really small?

I lost all taste for carbonation afterwards, it tastes like ass to me. It gives me heartburn. On mothers day I made my own grape soda with a grape flavor Water Enhancer and Perrier Water and it was fun but it gave me heart burn.
I can drink, but I am not a drinker. I just don't like the taste. The one drink I love is the Pomegranate margarita at Chili's and I get buzzed pretty fast and I lose it just as fast.
And I drink coffee ALL day everyday. Latte with sugar free vanilla and whole milk please.

I used to get pissed at this but then I thought about it, it kind of is an easier option which is why most of us do it. Let's just start being honest with ourselves.
The only time I've noticed myself getting offended at someone's ignorance though is when they use that idea that it's an easier option to trivialize my opinions about weight loss. As if I have no say in the matter at all. As if I didn't risk my life to lose 100+ And honestly, it's usually the fattest people who do that because their addicted to their own vices and I challenge them. And I've literally said to someone 'don't you dare trivialize my experience and hard work because you can't handle it.'
Shut them up real quick. You have to re-find your power when you make decisions like this. People are only bullies if you let them bully you.
When you lose weight, no matter how you do it, everyone will internalize and personalize your experience to them.

Never trust a fart! Have a spare pair of panties with you. Its normal, just go with it, soon enough you will be stopped up.

My husband he always lets me substitute his fries for a cup of Soup. Its always just the right amount of food for me. If I need the calories I get the clam chowder but I normally get the chicken tortilla type.
If I am hungry (rarely) I get the blta and eat some of the croissant and then take the rest off and eat the inside, turkey, bacon, lettuce Tomato and avocado, makes a good meal the next couple days too.
