ASKSARAH - Sleeve

Mine started about 3.5 to 4 months out and July 1 will be 5 months and it has started slowing down this week.
I have yet to see a post where it says I am bald. Let your body do its thing and yes it will slow down and stop being so dramatic soon.

ITs not stalls. No way can you be stalling out. A Stall is no lbs or inches lost in 30 days. Relax and let your body do its thing with out drugs.

I have lost 144 pounds in 9.5 months with no exercise! I know I should start but damn I hate it. I really am going to start using my elliptical! Really I am! It's going to happen!

It is absolutely not a conspiracy theory its REALITY>
If they don;t hook you with salt, fat and sugar they can't sell that product to the masses,
I know when I eat a Cheetos I can;t stop at one or a cookie. and when they say low fat or sugar free I get even more worried about what is in there.

DO don;t eat mushy slop. Eat real foods that are soft.
Make Ricotta cheese and sauce with mozzarella on top. Microwave for a minute or put in oven and there ya go. dinner.

the only thing you can do is schedule an arm lift with a great plastic surgeon.
Sorry.

nope just let it happen. Nothing will stop it. Just let it be and it will slow down

I get some sort of high from cooking for others now! Maybe smelling the food helps. Lol!

UMMM I think you should go Google the human body. The appendix is on the lower right side not left

I agree.
Wait till you have to eat slow and your not even hungry. Its almost irritating to eat now. I only eat a few foods because I truly dislike eating. I love cottage cheese and blackberries right now. I would rather drink all day than eat anything. First off I have zero desire to eat and second its takes so long ot eat a meal and I get antsy. LOL
I loved the liquid stage of my post op. I go back to that often.

Sex has gotten way better, on my back, on top, on my side, standing sitting, in the spa.
ITs better!! He has lost 20 lbs so between us we have lost 80 lbs and its just amazing.!

I would,
I have the galaxy 4.
I thought there was an app already because I use something on my phone that takes me right to a mobile site of this.
Maybe thats what it is LOL

HAHA I do the same thing.
I have this pair of Levis that I loath because they have no streach and are size 18. In old navy I am at least a 14, so I keep putting on the levis hoping they will soon fit and finally they did, so I wore them out to dinner and ran some errands and I slept in them cause I was not gonna take those dang jeans off.

The biggest issue is that there is NO set rules. Every Dr. and every nutritionist says something different and when you question them, you don't get a consistent answer. Most of what you hear is based on RNY surgery, not sleeve surgery. The whole thing about stomach stretching with a sleeve is pretty much not possible, but is possible with RNY. Like the whole thing about soda. Carbonation will not stretch your sleeve, it physically isn't possible. So this whole drinking before and after meals, really doesn't make a ton of sense. I don't gulp fluids with my meals like I did before, but if I need to take a drink while I am eating, or afterwards, it isn't going to make a ton of difference. I follow my Drs and my nutritionists directions, but if I need to do something and I feel that it is the best thing for ME, that's what I do. I've never followed the drinking rule one way or another, and I'm doing just fine.

I put a handful of baby leaf spinach, small banana, 2 tsp. apple cider vinegar, packet of equal and a few fresh blueberries with my Protein Shake and blend in blender. Firm BM with no pain. Actually this is my favorite drink!

I have not had an issue with receiving aftercare. The wonderful thing about this surgery is the lack of need for after care. You may need a metabolic blood work panel just to see how your doing. But overall unless you have complications you shouldn't need follow up care.
I had my surgery in Mexico came home have been losing weight my B-12 and other Vitamin levels are all on target. I have yet to see a doctor for anything.
If your PCP isn't on board keep interviewing until you find one that is. You can find a new doctor its your right.
Make the appointment go have the surgery and enjoy your new body.

Smoke Some Pot, That helps people eat.
Really take your time and introduce new things little at a time.

OMG I remember the day I stumbled into that forum.
Scared the jesus outta me.
But I pulled on my big girl panties and remembered that I have numbers on my side and guess what I came out perfect.

If you talk to a good plastic surgeon you will find that the scar is small and they use your normal skin folds to introduce the scars, like where your arms meets your armpit or the back near the shoulder.
Don't let idiots scare you. Do your own research.

Screw Insurance Go to Mexico.

I whole heartedly agree what what the others posted!
And I challenge the use of the word "cheated"...you planned for this, you strategized your Portion Control, and you had a healthy dinner after instead of continuing to eat not-good-for-you stuff. I'd say that's stellar behavior, not cheating!
Great job! Congrats on your upcoming wedding and on your continued success!
