Yep

Here is mine. I put an air freshener by it for size comparison

I was so gonna do the same thing this morning. My brush was filled. Luckily I have/had tons of hair so I can't see the loss on my head, just on the brush.

No smelly problem here. And honestly, my mother had RNY and she throws up alot in my opinion. I have not once thrown up or felt sick to my stomach. I am glad I chose the sleeve. I wish my mom did too.

Congratulations! You are pretty. Before and after.

Congratulations! And who ever said that is blind. You are beautiful!

Its funny how different the programs are. My doc & nut say you can have 2 snacks, but make it count. Usually my snacks are protein (cheese, jerky, edamame). If I didn't have my snacks daily I too would be under 500 calories and not meet my protein goal. I am almost 5 months out and down 82 pounds.

I know not many people here are in need of clothes that large, but I have 12+ garbage bags of cute cute cute clothes. I don't know if I should just donate it or try a consignment store. I do need $, but don't know if all the work will be worth it if no one is going to buy/need it. Anyone here interested in buying come clothes? Let me know what you're looking for and I'll shoot some pics of what I have. Chances are, I have it lol

I am thankful that nothing has made me sick. Granted I haven't eaten large amounts of everything, but I have had bread, sugar... You name it and it didn't effect me. All people are different.

It's normal to feel scared. I sure as he'll did. I remember walking into the hospital 5 months ago and feeling so scared I felt like I was going to hyperventilate. At that point I remembered why I am doing this. It is to better your health! You will be fine good luck and I'll be thinking of you!

I am almost 5 months post op and have started drinking them daily again. I stopped thinking I could get enough protein with food, but I can't.I use syntax nectar chocolate truffle. sometimes I add pb2 or a half a banana with ice and almond milk and it is delicious. It's like a treat.

No problem. I was worried too when it was happening and I called my doctors office as well. It lasted a couple days for me and went away.

Yes, I had the same pains around 3 or 4 weeks out. I wad told by my doctors its the nerves and muscle healing. Totally normal

I work in a small office doing accounting, administrative and payroll.

I am flying in about a month and a half and realized something last night that kind of worries me. In the past, at 324, I needed a seatbelt extender. I am now 245, with hopes to be around 230-235 when I fly. people that weight, did you need a seatbelt extender? I know there are variables, but just curious.

I don't know how draw our you are but nuts, jerky, protein bars are good. You could always do a cooler with hard boiled eggs and yogurt.

Good luck to you, I hope you get back on the right path whiter it be DS or some other way. This is an eye opener for sure.

Beautiful! Great job.

Me too! I am 4 months post op, down almost 70 pounds and I feel like I am pre period all the time now. My breasts are tender and all. I assume it because now that I am losing the hormones are acting up.

Wow! Congrats to you all. This makes me happy to think this might be in my future

Did you have blood work done before surgery? I know I was very anemic with a hgb of 9. Any chance you were low blood before and lost more during surgery?

I used to get constipated real bad too. I have started eating a high fiber cereal twice a week and my problem is gone.

I am very interested in seeing how this goes for you. Good luck.

Great Job! You look beautiful!

I had horrible problems until I incorporated fiber one cereal two times a week and all flows good now.
