nogi reacted to d258 in Any April sleevers
Surgery April 1, 18 weeks today. Down 39 pounds since surgery. I feel like I'm losing slowly but I was 221.7 going into surgery so I knew I would be. I'm just happy to be losing

nogi got a reaction from ProudGrammy in Best way to tighten belly?
Thanks guys, I realise you can't target a specific area for loss but thought that you could perhaps work on toning it instead to minimise (not eliminate) skin sag but sounds like you can't.

To help with skin sag, stay hydrated, take your Vitamins, eat Protein and nutritious food, and keep your skin moisturized (try a lotion or oil with Vitamin E -- I like Palmer's cocoa oil and cocoa butter, it helps with scars, too). It won't eliminate it, but may help.
I swim and do crunches, etc. in the pool.

nogi reacted to KristenLe in Pureed food suggestions
I don't think I'll be able to do pureeing my food. I'm going to try things like scrambled egg, Beans, cottage cheese, hummus, canned tuna, canned chicken, yogurt, soft cheese, Soup, ground beef. Remember to get enough Protein. Watch out for carbs and sugars. Maybe its from working in a nursing home and hospital for years but the thought of pureeing normal food makes me want to gag.

nogi reacted to Lacey09 in Poached egg week 1 post opp?
wow. programs really are different! we had 2 weeks of 12 oz of Protein shake divided into 3 meals. i had a "head" craving for a tuna melt...lol and a lot of emptiness/new form of hunger for a month until i could satiate with real food. i feel you really need to "respect the sleeve" and remember that your stomach was cut and sewn back up. it desperately needs time to heal! when you eat foods to early it ends up feeling very uncomfortable. in my support group people talk of foaming back up to their mouth when they did that (called the foamies) just hang in there it gets easier!!!!

nogi reacted to jaxmom in Calorie intake so low now... What will happen when can eat real stuff?
Oh wow... I'm actually printing all these out as they come across. I feel like I have my own personal team! I can't thank you enough for taking the time to respond and with such clear, concise answers. I'm still a newbie but I hope I can be here for you guys in some way if ever needed. Ok, off to the surgeon for my 2 week check! XO Jennifer
