Has anyone tried tanning? Did it make it worse or better?

I had stitches.

I might try that too

I also bruise easily. Always have.

Hey I was wondering how everyone is doing related to their scars healing? I was sleeved 9/7/14 and I really don't have anyone to compare with to see how well they're fading/healing. I'm not sure why my pictures upload upside down... But here is a before (a few days after surgery) and today.

I try to measure my food out or if eating out cut out the portion I think is right. Then I stop eating and wait a little bit to let the full feeling kick in. I was sleeved 9/7/14 and have lost 25 lbs so far ????

This is good to know. When I'm traveling and eating in restaurants it's hard to tell how much. I try to cut out a portion of the food to eat so I know how much. However I realized one day that I had eaten more than I cut out and I was still hungry so it freaked me out a bit. Maybe just a freak thing as I am back to eating less now.

Well that's encouraging to hear. I do like protein shakes, I try to have one for lunch or breakfast. I try to just find the best options or the most protein I can get when I go to dinner with everyone.

I travel pretty much constantly for work. I was just sleeved on September 7th and was just wondering if anyone else travels and how they manage their diet.

My username is the same as on here. Rsims1985

I am one week and a day post surgery and my right incision just suddenly bruised up more and is hiring also. But I believe my doctor said they were pulling the excess from the left incision next to the drain. But at least I know other people are feeling the same so that's conforting.
