I am almost 4 months out, and have discovered I am not aging as well as I originally thought! I am going to be 33 in a few weeks, and i don't mind a couples crow's feet, not an issue. But JEEZ! Over the last couple weeks, I am getting very deep lines under my eyes and the crow's feet are MUCH more pronounced around my eyes. I mean the major hair loss I was prepared to deal with, and I am also currently experiencing. I only had about 60 pounds to lose, and I have lost around 40 thus far. Does anyone use any sort of eye and face cream that ACTUALLY works? I have been looking up reviews for some stuff, but I am always leary of putting out the money to try something new. Guess the juciness in my face really helped fill in those wrinkles HELP!

Ive been a real raging b@$&! Lately.. surprised im still married is it a hormone change?! My poor wife!

what is everyone eating 5-7 weeks out? when can i have steak?! yum yum yum

i had 5 incisions; bellybutton (thanks goodness) a tiny one right between my breasts where my bra sits, one on the left and one on the right of my belly button. i am almost a month out and they are healing wonderfully! i will start rubbing bio oil on them as soon they completely heal shut to minimize the scarring (even though they are all very small). i will take a few scars to be svelte and sexy any day!!!

Are kombucha drinks allowed after vsg? I cant find anything on this.. its not technically carbonated, its effervescent. Anyone?!

i was told 10-12 days for each phase.. i am about to go in to the soft foods stage a day early.. i could not bring myself to puree meat. that seems so disgusting! i stuck it out with mostly soups and shakes!

these are great questions, and i am wondering all the same things! i was sleeved on 11/4/13 and i am in the full liquids stage, finding it difficult to get everything in

ever since i started using the protein my face has been breaking out like a pre pubecent teenage girl! has anyone else experienced this and if so, how long did it take for it to go away?!

Has anyone started going to Over eaters Anonymous since being sleeved? I know that the surgery is only a tool, and that I need to work on myself mentally as well. A part of thinks I don't really need it, but I have tried everything but OA to try and lose weight, and I am only almost 2 weeks out! I do not want to fail in this.. i can't imagine getting this surgery, spending all this money only to gain it all back and be miserable again . i am in the Sacramento, CA area if anyone needs a buddy or some support!

I agree on the different taste PackerGrl! i just started the full liquids phase and that's not too exciting either. I can stand the same flavor for quite some time, but I'll be honest.. all this talk about pureeing regular foods makes me feel nauseous. When I get to soft foods, I will just stick to regular soft foods that are soft and smooth all on their own. I don't mind pureeing certain soups, but when it comes to things like meats and chicken, that is something I can't stomach! But you go to all the girls that are getting crafty with the meals!

Ramona I cant message you.. I wrote this long message to you today and this crap site is nit allowing me to send and receive messages anymore

I second his awesomeness, as well as his staff's! I was treated better there than I have been at ANY facility in America! I was sleeved by Dr. Aceves on 11/4/13

Do you drink cafffiene? When can I have caffiene?! One of my drs who had the same surgery said he had coffee 10 days out!

I used to eat this way before and I felt great and ill be going back add soon as I'm back to solids. I'm hoping my stomach will be able to tolerate that type of lifestyle!

I was never told how much broth I am allowed to consume in one sitting.. right now I am 8 days post op and I'm consuming about about 1 cup of broth 2 or 2 times a day. Any thoughts or suggestions?
