  1. Me too! I keep a heated throw in my office!
  2. I take that back...they could have done one while I was under...not sure!
  3. I didn't have a leak test at all...everything good! Just follow your dr's orders!
  4. I use the take-n-toss infant to go containers. Their inexpensive, come with lids (perfect to take for lunch), can be heated in microwave, & hold about a cup.
  5. I was in your shoes...I'm a "slow loser" I think it just takes some time for your body to adjust. Are you eating every 3-4 hrs? That let's your body to know more food is coming & stimulates your metabolism. I have only lost 27 lbs & was sleeved 12/17... My weight loss is just now starting to return! It will come off....with the small amounts we are eating it has too! Good luck!
  6. Welcome & good luck! Keep us updated on your progress!
  7. Maybe not...maybe he will be inspired by your weight loss & jump on board. Stay positive!
  8. Love the title...I felt the same way after mine! Congrats & good luck on your journey!
  9. You look amazing! & I pray I have "saggy skin" like you! You can't tell at all!
  10. Welcome Annie! I had surgery Dec 17th..best decision I ever made! & since I am eating better..so is hubby, he's down 20lbs too! Good luck & keep us posted!
  11. Mine said the same thing..better to eat every 3-4 hrs...keeps your metabolism going!
  12. The mesh should be embedded by now...but you could be feeling scar tissue from it pulling. Either way you should check it out with your doctor.
  13. Congratulations to both of you! I'm sure you will not regret your decision! I LOVE my sleeve!!!
  14. This too shall pass! Stay strong & have a sense of humor! :-)
  15. Oh...ok! Thanks! I will have to check it out!
  16. I didn't have to do this, but I would think once the conversation is done the decision should be fairly quick! Just my thoughts...good luck!
  17. Your right Tiffany...mine did tell me to eat my protein first..then veggies if room! He also said he'd rather I EAT my protein & NOT drink it!
  18. I still use them...& recommend them all the time!
  19. Holy crap...now your scaring me cause you sound just like me!! :-/
  20. Try Gas Ex strips...worked for me!
