It's been 2 and a half years since my surgery and my Dr just switched my birth control. Until February I was on the depo shot but now I'm on the pills. Needless to say I'm feeling all the side effects. My appetite has increased and I'm constantly craving things especially sweets. Have anybody else had this problem?

Erin did child birth affect your diet? How did you handle cravings?

Thanks ladies It makes perfectly good sense

Thanks ladies i figured that would be the best thing to do, but I'm tired of looking like a flying squirrel. Lol thank God for spanx.

I'm contemplating having my hips, thighs and stomach worked on however I was wondering if having babies afterwards would ruin my new body? Any suggestions?

Have any of you ladies had any body contouring prior to pregnancy? I'm considering it, but I think it would be a complete waste of time and money to do it before becoming pregnant. What do you all think?

Thanks Kim. I'm feeling extremely motivated by the support. This app and the WLS community is so helpful not mention helpful. I just started working out again this past Friday. So getting back to the basics in addition to the workouts should give a good jump start. How has your band worked for you? I've met a couple of people who've had it and they had great things to say. I gave it some thought but my Dr didn't offer it as an option.

Thank you. I'd really appreciate it. I tried to log in the beginning but lost interest. It's obviously more important than I thought

Thank you ladies so much for the feedback. I'm going to go back to the basics. My surgeon advised me to eat every hours or at least 5-6 mini meals. So I'm gonna try having 2 protein shakes and one meal minus the snacks instead to see if it works. I'd stopped drinking protein shakes because I was burnout on the after taste but I've found two new delicious brands that meet my needs: Premier Protein and Prime Protein. Premier Protein has 30g while Prime Protein is a beef protein with 23g. Love them both. I started working out again which is a plus. Hopefully this will help.

I never even knew this app existed prior to today, but I'm so glad I came across it. My sleeve was performed on 11/23/2011 in which I was 230. Year to date, I weigh 175. I'm starting wonder if I've stretched my pouch because I feel like I should be a little smaller like maybe 155lbs. I did some research on the sleeve to find that the procedure itself only guarantees patients will loose about 55 to 60% of their excess fat. However, one of my former coworkers said her Dr told her she could loose as much weight as she wants. Although I honestly don't know how true that is. After reading about the success of others, I'm starting to feel like a failure. I'm sure of what to do at this point.
