  4. SW 250 CW 226 3 weeks out! I have ankles! I wore boots today that my calf would FILL, there was lots of room in them today and my feet didn't go numb like they normally do. Luvin it! The scale hasnt moved this week so these NSV get me thru!
  5. I choose the sleeve based in long term effects. My step mom had RNY 10yrs ago and still deals with so many issues. The sleeve requires me to work on my self control more then the rny since i dont get "punished" But for me, I felt that would force me to work on myself. Food is not the issue, its mental.
  6. And im in my 3rd week now, it hasn't gotten better but ive learned to manage it better
  7. I was head hungry too in the 2nd week. I went out and bought yummy flavored yogurts and coffeemates to put in my decaf coffee. When im craving something i sip on that cause out takes forever
  8. Took me 5 days and it was diarrhea. Now i poop every 4 days or so. Im 3 weeks out, Im probably going to start taking Miralax
  9. *I want my face back! Ive lost all definition. *I want to wear high heels without breaking my ankles and feet *fit a normal bra size * i want a salad soooo bad and i never thought id miss chicken *Wearing summer clothes without chafing *Being smaller then my husband!
  10. I hate the chocolate and Carmel calcium chews at Costco. BUT the have fruit flavoured gummies that are pretty good

  16. My sister in law offered to pay for the 30/10 weight loss thing for me. It was crazy cause it costs more then what im going to have to pay for the surgery. I really hate going into the whole story of my weightloss history, i wish they would take our declining and stop. But no, they feel they are saving us from something horrible I guess.
  17. Ill tell anyone, but I dont broadcast it on Facebook. Its a personal topic that Id rather say to peoples faces. What I have found to be funny is my skinny healthy friends are soo supportive but my overweight friends have kinda snubbed me. Weird.
  18. Is it just Biotin that helps with hair or does your protein consumption help too. Ive heard a couple people say "i want to get all my protien in to protect my hair"
  19. My surgeon said she has stopped surgery twice before because the liver was too big. I did my pre op but only lost 4lbs. They wanted 10. But when she went in there I guess i was great. Id just be real strict right before so your liver shrinks. Its a safety issue for the surgeon, not usually a compliance test
  20. @@sandisleeve you look amazing. Great job! Any pointers for a newbie? Sleeved 11/18/14
  21. I was sleeved 11/18 and I go back to work 12/6. Will i be able to suck in my gut by then? My tummy/abs are so sore still I can't imagine wearing jeans let alone sitting in jeans. When will my tummy feel normal?
  22. @@teshadb you look so beautiful. Love your dress. Great job girly!
