Probably not. I was a 50 and am teetering around a 42 now. Not going to happen. Can anyone say "eBay"??

Okay, yes you will. Now onto your regret. I was 260 when I was sleeved on March 4. Wore 44" pants and XXL shirts. I am now in 32" True Religion jeans and a Lucky Brand size large shirt. My weight is teetering around 199. Now, I don't care how delicious the sandwiches at Panera are, NOTHING tastes as good as these jeans and this shirt.

Sweats

You look amazing!

That sucks. I'm really sorry. However, have you read the posts by hundreds of people on here who have all sorts of maladies remedied by losing weight? I am not a doctor so I'm not sure if the surgery will help with all of what ails you but it certainly can't hurt. I was 260 lbs prior to surgery with no co morbidities. My only weight related issue were chronically sore ankles which I attributed to the physiology of how I walked. I was wrong and now that I'm down 60+ lbs, no more sore ankles. I did this because my parents were both obese for most of their lives and suffered many illnesses because of it. Sleep apnia, high blood pressure, diabetes, heart and kidney disease and shortness of breath were all genetically pre determind for me if i didn't make a change. Once you have your surgery and you start to lose weight I guaranty that, in the very least, you'll feel better. Probably a lot better. Promise.

YOU'LL BE FINE. Promise.

Best post yet. Much thanks!

Was about 3 weeks for me to return to just about normal.

My first consultation was 2/14 and I was sleeved 3/4. Gained almost 10 lbs in just over 2 weeks so you can only imagine.

Grrrrrrrrrrr

Whichever are most comfortable.

I actually didn't post them to fish for compliments, but thank you all for your kind words. I just love seeing everyone's pictures. Lost almost 60 so far.

That's what I'm talking bout! (sorry)

7 days

I am probably going to get flamed but I have some very unorthodox advice. Eat crap for a few days. Candy, cake, pizza or whatever. Don't eat enough to stretch your sleeve but eat as much as you comfortably can. I believe that over time your body gets used to healthy food and just chugs along happy. Shocking it with crap can jump start your weight loss again. Worked for me when I tried it. However, if you have an addicts mind set and feel like it might push you over the edge, I wouldn't try it.

Not good. You want to try not to reach full at all. Just eat until you start to feel like you might be getting full.

Where are you?

I can eat them but still can't get down a whole one.

While I'm sure their products are fine, I think that bariatric specific is simply marketing.

Your surgical coordinator should be able to help with that.

All the best of luck

I was scheduled before I was approved.
