  1. Apparently mine were more fat than boob lol Boob lift and implant will be in The future for me lol
  2. Yes:( I was a 42 d and now I'm a 38 tiny C I'm afraid to try on a B cup lol
  3. The only pain I had was getting up due to the larger port hole hat he pulled the stomach through. It was comparable to trying to stand up after my C-sections ouch! By day 6 ( for me) it was much better. Get rest when you can and try to walk you got this !!
  4. I was told ( when I was 3 mo post op) no more than 700-800. I couldn't do that on a good day. Pre-op I was pretty busy, I have a job that requires me 7.5 hrs on feet, a 2 and 4 yr old to chase. After surgery ( December 2 2015) I'm was more busy, working out, playing harder with my kiddos and working like a maniac lol. I was losing at 3 months what 6 month post ops were ( so my surgeon tells me). I then went over what I was trying to stick to calorie wise and I told him it's not enough. I was eating closer to 1200. I was still losing! He told me as long as I was losing still and eating mindfully, it wasn't a problem and that my metabolism was fast. I nearly fell on the floor after hearing that lol But over all, we're all different. I'm almost 7 months out and have lost 84 lbs, I'm 13 lbs from goal. Work with your surgeon and nutritionist to see what's right for you
  5. I was told by my surgeon today I lost 80% of my predicted weightloss. That's exciting. But I am struggling. Emotional eating, stress, depression. It hasn't been a good two months.
  6. Since I've had surgery, my breasts went from a 44D to a 38 small c And now I can't find a good bra! You'd think I'd would be easy. But, all the bras I try make me look like a saggy elderly woman I know a Breast lift is in my future, but not anytime soon. I'm 6 mo post op. What do you use for a good bra?

    Bras

    I'll have to try them, I've never been there to buy bras, only lotion What about bathing suits with no wire? I'm gonna hang like an orangoutang lol
  8. I'm 6 months post op and I am having severe burning in my stomach. No reflux, and shoulder and gall bladder pain. I see my surgeon on the 6/4, but should I call just Incase?
  9. NobsVs, I agree with you 100%, except I fight a lot of head hunger

    Gallbladder

    I always thought it was strange that the doc would remove the gall bladder for precautionary reasons. I don't think I'd want that. But now that I'm having gall bladder pains, I sort of wish he did lol
  11. Mine too! Super late or on time lol drives me nuts

    Extended release anti-depressants

    I was taking Effexor xr prior to surgery . My surgeon still says it maybe to early to return to the xr. So now I take the regular Effexor TID

    Coffee

    I actually started drinking coffee about two months ago. Decaf at first now regular. I'm almost 6 mo PO. It's never bothered my sleeve. But the caffeine does deplete your vitamins. No wonder I'm balding lol
  15. I use the bariatric pal app on my phone, not usually on the PC. How do I delete some of forums I have participated in? There's tons of them I'd like to get rid of lol

    December sleevers

    @@Tamster01 Hi my surgical twin I am also december 2 lol My hair is totally thinning like you Say yours is. I have huge hair balls in the shower drain. It's worse than after having my babies. I looked over the 5 day pouch jump start. It makes sense and there is a lot of great recipes. I googled it, but I believe someone has a link to it on here. I too had a stall, about a month. I felt like giving up and that all my work and surgery was for nothing. I was super depressed and felt like a failure. But today I feel better and started dropping again.

    My Crazy Pills

    I've been taking effexor for about 6 years. Hen added lamictal about a year ago. Since my surgery ( December 2) my moods are way out of whack at times. Like, for about two weeks at a time. Depression, mood cycling, forget about coming off. I'm glad I'm still on them lol Everyone is different though.
  19. I'm almost 5 months out
  20. Hello:) Sunday night I ate some popcorn. Now I have been nauseous off and on ever since. No temp or vomiting. I figured I'd try it. Nothing else sea to bother my sleeve, but apparently this does Has this happened to anyone?

    Things men say when told about WLS :)

    I would feel the same way. If I got a Response like that, especially th 3rd man I would be greatly insulted. Let my self get soo over weight. What a dink. He apparently knows nothing about a weight struggle except that he's trying g to make muscle vs losing fat. What are you gonna do? Have you talked to him about it?
  23. Thank you so much It truly has been a tough time. It also seems I don't get a break from PMS anymore either. 3 good days and then wam! It's awful! It use to be 1 week before and I was a monster lol I'm gonna call my doc On Monday to see if I can get into see him.
  24. I seem to have fallen into a depression. I am seeing a therapist and have been on effexor for a few years now And have been having no issues, until my 3 month mark. I've sort of given up, I eat like crap sweets , not any bread, but packaged junk. I thought it was emotional eating, but then realized I am depressed. I still get all my fluids no problem and protein. Can anyone relate? and does this post op depression lift at some point?
