I guess I'm used to the smell. My ex-husband is a body builder and ALWAYS smelled like broccoli' date=' egg whites and chicken breast! Probably one of the reasons he's my EX lol[/quote']

Lls, that's some funny ****!

August9 sleeved at 261 today I'm 227

I don't get a feeling but I know how much I can handle. I never eat over 2.5oz of Protein and 1/4C of veggies in one sitting. I have only twice felt too full and it was very early on (week 2?) if I found I was getting hungry early (I drink at least 16oz of Water between meals and wait a minimum of 2 hours and up to 3 between meals) anyway my first thought would be what did I eat? Was it a slider? Am I thirsty? If I was really good I would add .5oz of Protein to my next meal. I started with 2 oz. I rarely make it thru all my veggies. If I find myself mindlessly eating I stop.

I should say I don't get the runny nose hiccups etc... I do feel full eventually

Why ate you eating veggies so early?Everything should be protein first until you are able to get the recommended amount.

It's strange but I get the hiccups or my nose start to run.

I had the sleeve and my doctor repaired my haiatal hernia and I'm on prilosec for six months and I feel fine..By the way my surgeon is in the top 5 for bariatric surgery.

I'm struggling. I've been eating things I shouldn't and until recently' date=' couldn't. bread used to be tough for me, but in past 2 weeks its fine (which is NOT a good thing). I've given in to too many Snacks that aren't healthy. I'm exercising a lot more lately so I've been hungrier, but I need to reel in these bad habits. I'm about 60 lbs down, but things have definitely slowed down--probably due to my poor food choices. Help, encouragement, tips or even gentle reprimands welcome.[/quote']

The best thing is to see a therapist or try contacting your nutritionist. The program I'm in the nutritionist say go back to the basics (2 Protein Shakes and a meal) good luck

Finally got sleeved yesterday but today I have had hiccups for over 30 mins! I got discharged an hour ago. how can I make these damn hiccups stop?

I get them when I'm full also they say stress can cause them.

Thank you all for the helpful responses! When I work out' date=' I do three days of weights at the gym and an hour long hike/jog twice a week. The only thing I drink is Water and my Protein is good. I get about 80+ grams per day. I am definitely considering bringing my calories down and possibly backing up a little on the exercise too.[/quote']

Go back to the basics and stay around 800 calories

Doo it your body will let you know which way you can and cant move trust me. I was doing the deed before two weeks! Just dont go swinging off any chandeliers. Lol. Have fun.

Ok I have some lingerie from my bridal shower that I never wore because it was a little to tight. Now I'm 20lbs lighter I'm going to put it on and put it on him lol

I'm eleven days post op and so horny!!! When is ok to have sex? My husband scared its going to hurt me cause I'm still a little sore. ..

Randallstown here. I'm approx 20/25 min from Westminister. Haven't been sleeved yet. Im in the program at st. Agnes. I have a month left. Before my paperwork is submitted to Aetna for approval. Fingers crossed.

I'm also going to St Agnes hopefully next month.Who is your surgeon?

I'm also from Maryland, I'm going to St Agnes with Dr.Singh.They have the best team in Maryland give him a call...By the way I have Cigna

I'm in the same boat you are with Cigna.....thought it was 6 monthly visits with the NUT....wasn't happy when when I found out it was only 3......I had reservations' date=' and thought in the 6 months I could work past them--have to put that in overdrive LOL Luckily after the mental health evaluation, I feel better about this........My last appointment is July 1.....it'll be here before you know it....[/quote']

My last appt is July 2

Thanks guys I just thought it was going to be September,but im ready &my husband is so supportive.

Was told that I had to do a six month diet at first with Cigna,then I received a call and said no 3months.This mean July 2 is my last appt,not sure if I'm just scared or nervous :-(

I actually dont have any extra skin. Definitely needs some tightening up' date=' but I take collagen daily and that helps a ton.[/quote']

Thank You I only ask because that's my biggest fear going from 261 to 175/180...Congratulations and keep up the good work :-)

Excited because we got to wear jeans and tees to work today and as i was snapping photos i finally saw just how much weight i've actually lost. great feeling to go through all that i went through and feel so great on the outside.

You look great.I see you have on a tank,do you have any extra skin on your arm?That's my biggest fear.

THANKS EVERYONE,IF EVERYTHING GO AS PLANNED I WILL BE SLEEVED MID JULY :-)

I'm 5'7 &weigh 261 plus I have a moderate size haiatal hernia. I seen one surgeon who had bad bedside manners so I switched &I see a different one on the 25th. I'm just curious what may work best for me the sleeve or the band...Please Help
