Mine has been all over the place since surgery and I am even on the pill to " regulate" it. I would just take a pregnancy test to make sure it is negative but I think it is normal for your period to be irregular after.

I am almost 6 months out. I am down about 60 lbs and I am 13 lbs from my surgeons GW and a " normal" BMI. I am curious to know what other people who are as far out as me ( or further) are eating. I have not been cutting anything out and letting myself even have cake sometimes in really small portions bc I can only take like 1 bite. I have always been an extreme dieter and decided to approach this as a forever thing. I will eat healthy most of the time but nothing will be off limits. The problem is as time goes on I can eat more. I am scared now bc I am able to eat much more than I was in the beginning. I also know the " slider " foods that I can eat when I am really hungry. How are you guys coping with this ? I don't want to fall back into old habits.

The first month I was the same way. I just sipped on protein shakes when I could and ate ice pops and slept. Do the best you can , it gets easier ! I am 5 months out and can eat pretty much anything in really small portions.

Hi everyone, I was sleeved in September. Down 60 lbs with 19 to go and I am at a stall. Does anyone have any tips on how to break this ?

I am freaking out too !! The whole time I was also like " if " I do it. Well I am doing it , this is happening ! I am excited and also very nervous. The only time I have ever been admitted to the hospital is when I had my son . The thing that is keeping me going is looking at clothes I will be able to wear because I looove clothes and fashion and have been living in leggings and tunics for years. I cannot wait to go shopping. I also have been checking out running groups at the YMCA I go to. I am planning to start running and hopefully start doing marathons .. I am trying to keep it positive by thinking of the new me and not worrying about not being able to eat and the pain. But I totally am freaking out too !!!

September 12th here ! Doing it in NY.

I am not gonna lie. I am totally having a food funeral. I think it is important for me to do it , like closure. I have until Friday and then I am going to start the pre- op because my sleeve date is 9/12. I am not eating too crazy but I am eating whatever I want for B, L and D. I eat healthy B all the time and always have so I am continuing with that but I am more lenient on myself for L and I get whatever I want for dinner. I still need some surf and turf and Indian food. Gotta lay them down to rest !! I know I will technically be able to eat whatever I want in small portions in the future but I am not planning too. Once I start slipping it can be a bad road for me .

Hey can someone send me the link to the FB group ? I am trying to find it but I can't.

You did ? I haven't started any diet yet. I have to go on the 29th for one more nutrition class and a clearance appointment. Maybe they will tell me to start then ? Is it all liquids for the pre- op diet or just 10 days before ?

Me too !

I just got a date .. September 12th !! I am in the Sept sleeve crew yay !!

I just found out I got approved and we are have the same stats ! I have to call in a few to get my date I am just too excited to think !

Everyone looks great ! I feel much better. JT good point ! I tend to get worse scars than other people , and have gotten keloids before too , especially around piercings ( yeah I had a piercing phase lol ). I just found out I got approved guys !!! I am doing it , hope my scars are ok but a hot and healthy body will be worth it !!

LOL !! That is still good , at this point I would just like to see an inch come off of anywhere. My last appointment was 8/7 and they submitted it to insurance. I am annoyed because they called me and said I needed a blood draw for thyroid which they had and then they couldn't find my letter of medical necessity which they had so I am not sure when they ended up submitting it really . I am just waiting for approval now :: fingers crossed :: I can't wait to do this !

PA student. I cannot even see them !! You look great btw.
