started at the same time 3 months but has really slowed down now at 5 and was not devastating, take your Vitamins and extra Biotin and make sure you get all your Protein in. We are all different, some don't loose any!

nope, all my scrubs pants are too long now...lol

I had to drink 70 oz of Protein = 2 world Wide Choc shakes, Jello (yuk-no way), 12 oz of V8, yogurt and broth. I bought Progresso Light and just ate the broth, so much better than just the plain broth. I loved the V*, that was the best part of the day.

I am a little over 4 months out and for 3 months I so regretted it and went through what was like a post partum depression but even my dr told me I will get past it and I did and now am so very happy with my decision and the changes in my body. I don't mind the smaller portions at all and cannot even imagine eating like I used to. We all adjust in our own ways but I will tell you that I can eat anything I want, if I am craving something, i can have a bite and that will usually do the trick or just remind myself why I made this decision. I would do it over again in a second. Good luck with your decision as only you can make it.

I am 4 months along and 2 months ago I would have replied that I would not have done this but now I am just fine and very happy I did it. I cannot imagine eating as much in one sitting as I used to. If I really really really want a cheeseburger, I will (can only eat 1/2 without the bun) or if I want pickles I will have some. I watch what I eat but also will treat myself in moderation. Your life will not be over, it will be starting over and you will love watching the pounds melt away. Imagine fitting into clothes you have not been able to for a long time. Only you can make the decision but for me, I am glad I did even though it took me a while. Good luck.....

I think you have to be open to the journey. It's not easy to give up that "best friend" who has not really been the friend we thought. At nearly seven months out, I do enjoy food - it just doesn't control me anymore. I no longer think about it all the time.
There are (infrequent) times when I miss not being able to eat a big meal of something I enjoy (for me, that would be a big plate of Mexican food), but I appreciate the taste, still, and am glad that my sleeve and I are working together to keep me from eating more. I like having control over my choices and I really like how I look. I like being able to do things with my grown children without being left behind. I especially like that I have reduced risk of stroke and dementia, which run in my family.

My boobs are deflating right along with my belly. If they deflate much more, I'll be able to use my pants for a bra =P I'm still wearing most of the same bras...mostly because they were all too freaking tight for me pre-surgery. I should probably go get properly sized.

I have a hard time with the Protein Shakes, the smell turns my stomache, then I found Isopure. The grape and rasberry are both tolerable and if you order them online you will save money and shipping is free...good luck.

I am so sorry, I am laughing at "stupid Protein shake". I know how that felt, I did that too but figured out if I ordered Soup and coffee I felt better and more normal. You will get there soon enough and be able to sit with them in your skinny clothes and enjoy your dinner...Hang in there

At the risk of sounding a bit brash...f**k your "friend". She sounds as if she's dealing with her own "fat acceptance" issues. You don't need those kind of people in your life. She's selfish. She created a whole blog post about YOUR surgery and made it about HER feelings. She doesn't care about you. She was never a friend. Cut that dead weight loose now. You'll feel much lighter when you do.

I also was not 100% sure I wanted to do this even as I was on the table right before surg but I am glad I did. First you have to be sure you want to commit then think about the weight falling off.....believe me, it is a wonderful feeling 2 months out and 60lbs down, cloths hanging on me and no longer hungry and very motivated....I know I made the right decision. best of luck.

I'm a DL pass holder and have only gone once since surgery. It took sooo much out of me. Not to mention there is like nothing wls friendly to eat there (I was in puréed when I went. Ended up eating a little unsweetened applesauce.) I probably won't go back for another few weeks, so that way I can be on regular foods by then.
