4- Your sleeve will never be the size it was before surgery and they don't stretch, so good luck with that.
And who is the hack of a surgeon who took 85% of your stomach out for a temporary fix?

You can't really stretch your sleeve, so I think you're pretty well screwed. This isn't a quick fix, it's a long term surgical solution to obesity and clearly the wrong choice for you.

Hmm. I should've thought of that. Spent a small fortune on Protein

Oh you'll be addicted!

I would call them anyway. Explain to them the situation and see what they say - the nurse may be right or may be wrong. I recommend calling for yourself.

You should definitely be able to get a 2nd opinion. That's crazy they're telling you that. It might be a situation where you just have to put your foot down and be an @$$ just to get what your husband needs. There are people here in the medical field as stated above, hopefully they have some insight. I hope they find answers for you - best wishes.

I'd also like to know, but I'm betting the answer is different for everyone

I totally said that backward. Goal is 185. Need to lose 125. 55 of the way there!

It's endometriosis that has spread to different portions of your body. Mine is in my bowels. Most doctors had just said it was IBS but none of the treatments helped me. After 20 years of test and test and doctors. I moved and went to a new OBGYN and we just randomly started talking and sure enough she knew what it was. It was so such a relief to finally have a doctor listen to me and give me answers.

It gets better, I promise! I'm 10 weeks out and (knock on wood) think I'm getting to the good side of this! 55 pounds gone, can eat normal in small portions, get Protein without supplements. Hang in there!

The energy I'm getting. I can cook dinner every night, and not be exhausted. I can take my dogs on long walks. My plantar fasciitis is so much better. Our house has never been so clean! I used to only have energy for work, I'm a bit of a perfectionist so they got 110% of me. Left nothing for home. That's all changed now!!!!

Don't - it is disgusting, and not a good source of Protein. It tastes like hay, or dirt, or something. It's absolutely disgusting, and I still have a package in my kitchen. It's also collagen protein which isn't like animal or whey protein. Save your money in my opinion.

This is a bad idea - no hospital will discharge you and let you drive yourself home. I recommend a spouse or family member, but at minimum you'd need to call uber or a cab.

Awesome!!!

$8 at Lowe's until tomorrow I think!

I wondered the same, but I really haven't found anything I can't replace with a healthier option. I was a big eat out of convenience person - a lot of fast food, frozen dinners, delivery. If you want a burger, just eat a mini turkey burger no bun. chicken wings? Bake them instead. Pasta? Try zoodles. There's a lot of easy swaps. And don't get me wrong, I still had a bite of pumpkin and a bite of pecan pie Thanksgiving. But the mashed potatoes, the rolls - just didn't call to me, and my 2 bites of dessert was satisfying, didn't need or want more.

I threw up the first time on rotisserie chicken. It was on my plan, I didn't overeat. meat of one drumstick. I think we ALL throw up at some time. Learn things the hard way sometimes.

Ooh fun! I bought 2 extra crock pots black friday when they were $8. Yes, $8. Helloooooo crock pot meal prep!

Yes I'm colder much more often now! Blankets are stashed everywhere, and I keep this guy around to serve as a heat source!

Awesome!!!

Congrats, and I love your f*ck cancer shirt! I'm not brave enough to wear one, but cancer sucks.
