I posted these on another thread but here are mt before and after.I am 6 months post-op!

Not really a solution, sorry to say. mine started thinning about 2 months ago at 4 months. I took biotin, ate all or most of protien, used special shampoo & conditioner. nothing has worked. but not sure if it would be worse if i wasnt doing all this. Look at it this way, its such a small price to pay for a dramatic change in your life. And you dont loose all of it. And it does start coming back around 6 to 12 months.Mine has slowed down.

Oh gosh I know how you feel! You can start by taking a dulcolax suspository that should clean you out pretty quickly. Then I can only speak for myself, I chew two gummy Fiber chews every morning, that seems to work for me, I go regularly about every three days or so. I haven't had constipation since I started the gummies. Good Luck!

I was a size 18/20 jeans and a 3X to 4X top, I was 235 before surgery and had to lose 20# before surgery which was Jan 14th 2013. I am now a size 6 or 8 and a lg or xlg top!! I havent taken my measurements yet. I also went down a whole shoe size to a 71/2. I am not that tiny I still have alot of fat around my middle, some or most is skin. but I have to deal with it cause I cant afford a tummy tuck. But trust me its a little sacrafice to be healthy and happy. The loose skin doesnt bother me as much as some. Good luck to everyone this was so worth the pain and effort I have put into it.

No, I must admit I do not go to the gym, but I do try and walk as much as possible and a try and stay active.I know I should start to tone up, I just havent a clue how to go about it, and cant afford a gym!

Ha, no i totally understand. I cant quite get used to my new pics. Friends and family have been telling me how different i look now, but untill you see the photos it just doesnt seem real.

Here are some better pics. Still not used to seeing the new me.

Wow, you know doubt have been through alot. More and more people are opting for the sleeve because it is less ivasive to some degree. No rerouting for one, no mal-obsorbtion problems, etc. The bypass is better if your a diabetic, but you just need to examine both surgeries and see which one would be the best and most successful for you. Good Luck:)

congrats! Lookib good. keep up the hard work:-)

Isnt it a great feeling:-) I am just starting to take pics again, its been many years since i actually wanted to take a pic. Now it feels so good to look at my pics.

You look great! Love seeing before and after pics.

You both are still very young:) So hopefully your young skin will shrinl with you I'm 43 and mines not lookin so hot, but its worth it to be finally healthy!

lots from Cali! Im from Petaluma, Ca. North of San Francisco.

surgery was Jan. 14, lost 20# pre- op and 57 post-op 77 total. But its true everyone is so different in thier journey, try not to compare.

I brought mine because they told me to bring it. i hadnt used mine either, by the time the person came in to hook up i said no, because they wake you every couple of hours, theres no way i was gonna get any sleep with that thing on. They didnt argue with me so it sat in the chair for two days!

premier is the best hands down.! Been drinking these since my Jan surgery. Tried about 20 others including ordering all kinds of samples, yeck! I order them on Amazon and I buy at Costco.

Congrats! I am 6.months too and down 77#, with 18 more to go. Would love to see pics!

Believe me probably 90% of us have your same issue! The other person is right he would have already slept and left ya if he truly didnt care. Now its time to enjoy your new life and body:). It will all fall into play. Good Luck and Congrats!

I finally figured out how to post pics! Here are a few before and now pics. I still need to take a full body pic. So soon i will do that. Thanks foe looking.

try a protien shake, it might feel more satisfying and give you more flavor. Hang in there it does get better each day. The liquid part is the worse, once your on soft food you will think you've died and gone to heaven:)

Congrats! Wow I hope at 3 yrs I am still maintaining. I am only 6 months but I feel likes its been a couple of yrs already.

Sorry to hear you've been stalling. We all do at some point, some more or longer than others. Its time for you to get back to basics! Revert back to the beginning, high protien lots of water, lowfat you know the drill. Dont terhink you've fail. You have already lost an extreme amount of weight, so you know have the tools to start losing again:) Get back on track, start making better choices, you can do it, you've already proven that by the weight you have lost:) Good luck and have faith.

It happens in a blink! About two weeks out you'll be able to drinl water a little more like normal:) Dont worry you did not stretch sleeve. Everyone has different levels off swelling on inside, as it goes down you will be able to dr
