  1. Had my sleeve 1/4/13 and its been a tough road, but i'm finally seeing the light! 60 pounds down! I too did everything u guys mentioned-i put on 15 pounds getting ready for surgery and then backed out because i was scared! The first two months are hard physically, but only because i felt sick, not hungry. after that u start to settle in quickly. You wont have cravings like u do now. Its hard to imagine, but true. I loved McDonalds, cant think of it now without gaging. You'll see the first 20 pounds drop and get so excited, you'll want to start being anorexic, in a good way, of course! u will have " mind hunger" only because the liquid weeks r the hardest, but once you get thru them, you ladies will be dancing the skinny jig! This surgery isn't for everyone, but i was a binger and there was no other way i would have stopped myself! I see that now so clearly. Post op sickness initially made me have regrets. I wanted "off the ride", but now I see myself for what i had turned into...Hell, I still try to overeat, even through the sleeve, but the feeling of sickness stops me quickly. Thank goodness! Good luck!
  2. Im from clifton, had sleeve 1/4, down 60 pounds, now stalled. I wasnt eating or drinking for the first 2 months though because i was so sick. . Just started being able to eat. I need support to start a work out and keep me motivated!
  3. Sleeved 1/4-three months ago oday. Down 60 pounds. Last week i've stalled.....
  4. I'm 3 months today and hair has started to shed. I'm taking biotin since post-opt week 2 and shampoo using "fall fight" by garnier from the supermarket. I got high lights end of month 1 to make sure it wouldnt interfere w hair loss and so far so good.
  5. I was told that I may lose some hair after surgery. Is that true?
  6. My preopp appt was only blood work, ekg and chest x ray. Other people r having ulrta sounds, upper gi, etc.am i going to a hack? Dr. Ewing in paramus, nj
  7. My sleeve surgery is scheduled for 12/27 and my dr hasnt said anything to me about a pre-opp diet. Should i be concerned?
