  1. I only had my period once in the last 5 months...... My do for said it's normal since are bodies are going through changes.......
  2. Your going to have weight stalls all through this journey......... I had one at 1month, at 2.5months and then one at 4months..... I'm 5months out and down 78lbs..... Just keep up the good work.......
  3. I'm 5 months out and I can have a cold beer if I like.............. I even asked the doctor and he said as long as I don't make it a habit, since beer as bad calories..... But the day that I now that I might want a drink, I just eat different through out the day........
  4. I was sleeved on 11/20/13 so I'm not a vet yet but I can relate......... I come from a big Italian family where food means everything......... And I also looked forward to my weekends to go out(mostly restaurants)......... But I can say things do get better............... My boyfriend and I will still go out at night but we will just share an appetizer..... Getting out and enjoying the convo is really what matters............ Also I started having card night parties at my house, where we invite some friends.. I cook appetizers or finger foods so people can eat through out the night and no one notices what I eat.................
  5. Woot woot..... U go girl..................
  6. I also wanted to add....... I lost in all those areas first.... Boobs gone, ass gone, hips gone....... Stomach still here..... Lol. Good luck though we are all different
  7. People around me say I'm moody and that my attitude as changed.... Honestly I think their right... But it's because I've changed... I'm getting healthier and I'm finding out new things about myself as my weight comes off......... I think people around me hasn't caught up to my personal changes in life......... As I lose weight I'm seeing life in a different way................ All I can say is I'm happier now then I been in 10 yrs.......... And I wasn't unhappy before.................. I was sleeved 11/20/13 and I'm down 78lbs..

  9. I had a stall at my 4 month mark but I got passed it at month 5..... I think we have stalls through out this journey... Keep up the work..... I was told to change my food when I'm at a stall.... Give ur body something different......
  10. I agree with it depends on u... I didn't need any help.... I was a little sore but felt like a period.... Good luck
  11. U sound like myself..... I wish I could find my post from dec, sounded like u.... Trust me it will change........ I'm out wow 5 months and I had stalls throughout the months... Then u will get on scale and be down 5 lbs...... This process is a roller coaster of emotions but it's worth it to me...... Surgery weight 310 current weight 232.....
  12. Yes it will be ok..... I flew 3 weeks out..... If u read the people that had it done in Mexico flew home 2 or 3 days later......
  13. Pls don't give up....... If surgery is so close............ If u went this far in getting it then finish through.... That's why diets don't work for us cause we give up.... U got this..... If u need support we all are here for u........ This was the best thing for me.... I'm 4 months out
  14. You hear stories with both.................... But stay positive.... I think this was the best thing I ever did.........,
  15. I'm so glad for this thread..... Was sleeved 11/20/13 started at 310 today I'm 232 and I can't tell........ Others around me can and they all know I had the surgery....... I haven't went clothes shopping yet since it's been freezing so baggy shirts and sweat pants works.... I'm a little nervous to go to the store...........
  16. My sister had the surgery done 13 yrs ago.. She lost 150 lbs and kept it off..... I think she looks great... But she thinks she's still the fat girl,and wishes she could lose 20 more.......... But I can say she still watches what she eats............. I'm hoping for the best for myself..... I was sleeved on 11/20/13 and I'm down 78lbs....
  17. Don't know if true but I heard if u put the soda in a blender it will take the carbonation out............

  21. U y'all are on the right path and having someone to talk to about ur journey makes it easier I think........... I'm grateful to have a great support team.... I was sleeved 11/20 and doing great still............................ I live southeast Chicago...........
  22. I was sleeved on 11/20 at st. Joseph's downtown Chicago............. The best choice I have ever made......... I'm done 60lbs since surgery....... This is a great forum to learn and ask questions.......... I think I was lucky since I had no issues..... No pain.... When I woke up it felt like a period..............
