You look fantastic! It looks like you've lost so much weight and by it sounds, you'll be losing way more..! Congratulations!

Congratulations! I'm sure you'll reach your long stretch goal!

No.. It's alright. You're doing it for yourself, because you want to feel better in your own skin. As long as your priority is your happiness, then I don't see anything wrong with it. I personally had my surgery in Mexico,well to be more exact, Mexicali, and I couldn't have made any better choice.

I used to never be cold, but ever since the gastric sleeve I grew to be cold most of the time... I was told that it was because my body had lost plenty of fat calories that kept my body warm, therefore I was cold most of the time.. Nowadays I just wear plenty of layers. Like long socks or stockings under jeans. Warmers under jackets, etc..

I totally understand you... I normally eat as a healthy snack some small chopped fruit, seeds, greek yogurt, half a cup of soup or dried fruit:) Sometimes I even make myself some cooked ham rolls with low fat cheese..!

Hi @@smarcelin2014 ! Welcome to bariatricpal! It does have plenty of information and people that can support you:) Some threads ago some people were talking about Fitbit, maybe you could add 'em!

I didn't have the Orbera Balloon, but the Obalon Balloon... I experienced lots of cramping because of the acid inside.. It did make me question if it would work, but after like two months I lost up to 5 or 8 pounds, which I didn't notice on myself but I was told by relatives and friends. I had it removed though...

I don't mind taking pills or chewable, I take 2 chewable multivitamins, 2 omega-3 chewable vitamins and C pills. When pills are too big, I just cut them in half and it becomes easier.

You already look fantastic! Congrats on your surgeversary, and happy new year!

Getting rid of clothing that no longer fits me feels fantastic...! Clothes that no longer fit me but are in good conditions I tend to pass them over to relatives or friends that desire them. Sometimes I just send them to a tailor to do some cutting and stitching so they will fit me! My closet has now space for more size fitting clothes too! I'm excited to go shopping and well, I guess keep losing and repeating the wardrobe cycle haha

I agree with @@OutsideMatchInside , it must be because you're drinking the right way. Keep it up, small sips at the time and you won't need to be struggling with burps..!

I happened to me at first, and even 4 months, after I still have some burping issue when it comes to liquids, but it's minor.. I recommend drinking them slowly and in sips during the day..! It will get easier..!

I totally get you! It's awful! I feel like I need to throw up everything... But I realized.. At least for me, it was because it was too soon for me to be drinking right after food. I'm 4 months post-op, took me three months with only drinking 30 minutes after. Like three weeks to drink 15 minutes after, and now I am taking small sips after 5 minutes, but I don't push it.. I am very careful.

Thank you so much for your support:) <3 This surely keeps me more motivated and spirited in achieving more NSVs!

Thank you! I know I love NSVs, they just brighten my life...! I will definitely get some great deals for my new clothing sizes
