Target sells it

@jazzy0917 just vitafusion gorgeous hair skin and nails gummies. They're all the same, just make sure it has more than just biotin in it.

I agree. I guess it will eventually disappear.

@ttnurse that's great progress!

Those are literally the only areas that truly bother me. How do i get rid of arm pit fat and my muffin top?

Makes perfect sense to me. Congrats on your progress!!! I think im just self concious because we started out at the same size, i want to lose roughly the same amount of weight. And i need to get over that.

Long story short my friend had the same sleeve procedure a year and a half ago. I had mine in december. We were roughly the same size before but i'm shorter. She seems to think i can get down to a 0 or a size 2 within a year. That seems unrealistic to me. I'm thinking a 4 might be more realistic. So for those of you post op ladies who have met your goal weight, what was your smallest dress size and how long did it take you to get there?

My hair didn't change. I haven't lost any hair. But i also take hair skin and nails vitamins every day. And i stick to my regular weekly deep condition regimen.

That sounds good but isn't it to much fat? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

@blizaair09 thanks!! I need variety. Everytime i think of making something i'll eat it and i'm fine but the next day i don't want to look at it again. I never used to be like that. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

What are some of your favorite post op foods? For the past week, i haven't wanted to eat anything. So i'm running out of ideas. Also, if you can think of a salty crunchy substitute or savory ideas i'm open to that too! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

@@kayleenasnewlife oh i had the sleeve. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

It will. You won't have an appetite. Your taste will change and you will become sensitive to smell and food texture. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

@@TXJess i'm the same way. My sense of smell is sensitive to everything not just food. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Lol. I thought i was going crazy for a second. But now i'm enjoying it. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Sooo this may sound crazy but who cares. The greatest thing that has ever happened to me has to be that my taste buds changed dramatically post op. Who would have thought that i would be this damn happy about it but i am. All the foods that i used to love, even if i can eat them now, i don't enjoy it the same way. I tried to eat an egg and turkey sausage this morning for breakfast. I was so over it. I hope this is permanent, because that seems to be the best way for me to keep the weight off. It's as if i could honestly care less about food. Thank god. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Good luck. There's nothing scary about having your stomach removed, once surgery is over you won't even know it's gone until you realize you can only eat smaller normal size portions. It will be the best thing you could do for yourself. You're probably stressed and anxious now, all of that will pass. You'll be just fine. Good luck to you and your success!!

Definitely. Some of my friends have remained the same whether they knew i had surgery or not. But i have definitely lost a few because i'm getting smaller and healthier. And that's perfectly fine with me. They were just dead weight anyway. Since having my surgery i've made friends with tons of new people who have also had wls and it's just a better feeling. I can actually relate to them. One of my really good friends from the past still hangs out with me and she loves to go out to eat. We still do, but she respects that fact that i only eat certain healthy foods now and she's been fine with it. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Oh i forgot to say you can also try atkins lift. It taste better over ice. And it's on sale at big lots for $2. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

@@FindingCarrie thank you sooo much! Sounds like i'm sold on it. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

They just came out with a membership for $5 so you don't have to splurge on the dispenser. And if you cancel, just return the dispenser to them. How do the Vitamins taste? Because that was always my fear with liquid vitamins. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

If you don't like preimer then don't drink it lol. There's Bariatric Advantage, unjury, Protein milkshake bar, isopure, Syntrax, even GNC lean 25 are ok. Just find one that you do like the taste of that's under 200 calories and less than 5g of sugar. It should have at least 20g of protein. Because once you are post op it will be a struggle to get down more than two shakes. So the more protein in one, the better. Also, try ready to drink varieties and see how you like it because your taste will change after surgery. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
