I take all my vitamins, but no biotin... It gives me the feeling of being hungry and I eat up everything. Well I nibble on everything. LOL ~Leticia **HW: 259**PreOp: 216**SURG: 3/21/13 **Discharged @: 221** 3 mons post op. CW: 164.0 lbs. --- Only 14 lbs to my goal ---

You can drink you colon cleanse drink (the one you drink 24-48 hours before surgery) I dropped like 8 lbs with in 24 hours. ~Leticia **HW: 259**PreOp: 216**SURG: 3/21/13 **Discharged @: 221** 3 mons post op. CW: 164.0 lbs. --- Only 14 lbs to my goal ---

They lose slower because their body has already adapted to a weight loss surgery. We only have an open window of 12 to 18 months to lose weight before our bodies naturally adapt to the surgery. During this period we only take in a portion of our calories that are ate and also after surgery our metabolism is reset and a few genes are altered. It takes about 12 to 18 months for our bodies to figure out how to adapt back to the old us. It will never adapt all the way... Like taking in nutrients properly .. taking Vitamins will be a forever task. With revisions.. the body has already been fooled so its really only working on losing weight on the small portions you take in. Some folks get lucky and can fool their body twice. ~Leticia **HW: 259**PreOp: 216**SURG: 3/21/13 **Discharged @: 221** 3 mons post op. CW: 164.0 lbs. --- Only 14 lbs to my goal ---

Thanks girl.... When I was 18 I went to beauty school and got my license (which is expired). Shortly after I received it I went to school to be an accountant. More money! LOL Over the year I've had 4 kids (Ill be 40 this year). Im always doing hair. Shaving my son up like usher, braiding my baby and middle daughters hair. Cutting, weaving, dying my oldest and I try to keep my hair Fried, died and laid to the side... LOL :-) ~Leticia **HW: 259**PreOp: 216**SURG: 3/21/13 **Discharged @: 221** 3 mons post op.

Big congrats.. One-derland is a major mile stone. I'm 4 months post on and in one-derland too. I weigh 165 and haven't been this weight since 1988... My 8th grade year. ~Leticia **HW: 259**PreOp: 216**SURG: 3/21/13 **Discharged @: 221** 3 mons post op. CW: 165.0 lbs. --- Only 15 lbs to my goal ---

Buying fast food and people looking at you like you don't have the right to eat too. ~Leticia **HW: 259**PreOp: 216**SURG: 3/21/13 **Discharged @: 221** 3 mons post op. CW: 165.0 lbs. --- Only 15 lbs to my goal ---

I'm so in love with long hair too. I had been growing my hair out for 5 years and he back was almost waist length. I had started using clip ins for a little more fullness but because the hair roots get weak after surgery the clips were causing it to.shed more.. and the pony tails and messy buns were pulling too. Once the shedding slows down ill buy someone clips for a varity of looks. But I will say... Id rather be skinny than have super long hair. My cute bob looks good with my new body. ~Leticia **HW: 259**PreOp: 216**SURG: 3/21/13 **Discharged @: 221** 3 mons post op. CW: 165.0 lbs. --- Only 15 lbs to my goal ---

Trust me when I say that your body will MAKE YOU fight to be in One-derland. Try eating super high calories in one day. As .many as you can..this tends trick.your body into thinking its nolonger I starvation and you should see a decline in weight the following day. Also... Try and cut out any breads, Pasta, rice and sugar until you break the stall. Also... Enter your food into an app like MyFitnessPal. Maybe your carbs are too high. Just a few suggestions. ~Leticia **HW: 259**PreOp: 216**SURG: 3/21/13 **Discharged @: 221** 3 mons post op. CW: 165.0 lbs. --- Only 15 lbs to my goal ---

Everyone is right... Walk walk walk! I even walked or should I say paced back and forward in my room. Fyi... I would wait to try that soup again in a few weeks or months. Sometimes really Water foods are hard to eat or even digest. I personally think its like eating food.and drinking together. ~Leticia **HW: 259**PreOp: 216**SURG: 3/21/13 **Discharged @: 221** 3 mons post op. CW: 165.0 lbs. --- Only 15 lbs to my goal ---

You will do fine... I was giving a relax pill during my prep which help a lot with my nerves. Then they wrapped me up on this hot air blanket that was comfy. When I got outside of the surgery room I was greeted by my surgery nurse, anesthesia Dr and Surgeon. After a meet and greet some of my anesthetics was injected into my IV which knocked me the heck out. My Surgeon doesn't like for his patients to see the surgery room.. and I was cool with that. I tend to panic from medical stuff. After surgery I woke up groagy but I appreciated that cause of the pain. It wasn't too bad but it wasn't too good. The nurses will wake you up and walk you the same day as your surgery. If you are a little or a lotta sleepy after... Take advantage of it. Trust me after little that moriphine button ever 15 to 30 minutes... You'll be back off to sleepy la la land anyways. You'll do fine! ~Leticia **HW: 259**PreOp: 216**SURG: 3/21/13 **Discharged @: 221** 3 mons post op. CW: 165.0 lbs. --- Only 15 lbs to my goal ---
