  1. I have lost 84 lbs I'll be 1 year on the 12th, I finally hit a stall in nov, and haven't broke it, I'm trying to keep losing but it is nice to reflect on how far we come
  2. My surgery was March 12th 2014! , I didn't have a stall at all untill nov and I been maintaining I lost 80 lbs since surgery, best thing I ever did, how's everyone doing?
  3. I have sleep apnea and there is no installation guy coming in lol I'm just laughing because the thought is funny , it's a relatively small machine, smaller and acts like a humidifier with a mask and hose, you pug it in and wear the mask, before you actually get it, the calibration it, hope that helps, I actually sleep soo much better with it

  7. I tried regular Yoplait, tomorrow I'm gonna try Greek nonfat yogurt chocolate/raspberry I hope my sleeve likes it! Lol
  8. Ok so 1st day at home was rough, I had a lot of pain, and the liquid medicine for pain was horrible!! It actually made me almost have heart burn! And it burned going down I had to take pills for acid reflux for 3 months for preventative , so I figured if I can take that pill why can't I take a pain pill? Lol so I called the nurse and they gave me pain pills, and I also got zofran"nausea" dissolvable tablets( these are amazing) what a difference that pill makes, I feel so much better! Now day 4-5 I'm doing better every day, it's true it does get better, it's hard to image when your in pain and can barely get a sip in, but it's true. I drink Water, then cream of mushroom Soup 4oz then I drink water n more water, then another 4oz of soup and then water , I tried Protein shake but I could barely get it down, too thick & too much, I can only take 4oz at one time. But I feel good today, I did get horrible gas from yogurt! Ugh it was so good, but immediately my sleeve didn't like it! It said no lol I suggest don't stock up on nothing, try it first then you'll know Oh and yes I still have muscle pain from the way I was in the surgery table, my back is very sore and my incision where they took out tummy, other than that I'm good
  9. Hi, I'm sorry your having a hard time, but I know that it's not un heard of that people change insurances all the time , just to find the right insurance that covers it, it takes time but worth it, if this is what you realty want , hope that helps
  10. Thank you all sooo much
  11. Just wanted to tell everyone that I had surgery yesterday and here's the scoop lol! I wore "bare minerals" foundation powder one circular all over, and "bare minerals" blush a small amount, one brush over and then I put a thin line of "bare minerals" waterproof eyeliner, and "rimmel" water proof mascara , one swipe and everything went fine!!!! Yippee
  12. Post op! On losers bench! So excited, it was horrible coming out of surgery , I was like , can I do this?!" I was sooo much in pain, but it subsided in an hour or so and then when I got moved to my room for the night I've been feeling so much better every single minute! I went pee twice it's been 6 hours since surgery and I waked 4 laps around hospital and I got I've got ice chips . I cried for a moment when I was in huge pain kinda just releasing my frustrations of the pain, now I'm excited to start my adventure! I don't really have the gas which is great j

  15. I was getting anxiety before my pre op and as I stated my concerns, my dr said, "well maybe it's not the right time....." I was like what?! No!!! I'm getting this!! Lol it literally took her saying that to take me from "oh nervous, anxiety what if!" To " F. That! I'm doing this for sure, I need it and I'm determined to be healthy for me and my family'", so I say ask yourself that question ..... "What if someone said you can't have the surgery ?" Wouldn't you be pissed! Lol I hope this helps you, because I was feeling that way too... Good luck:) prayers for you!
