    Weight Loss

    This.
  2. VSG on 11/7/17 and i lost 60 something since surgery 75 since highest weight recorded at surgeons office, and almost 100 since my highest weight ever I had no clue how it would go, just glad its gone
  3. Not the same but i backpacked Europe 4 months post op. You may be too new for alcohol but ask your surgeon. I would focus more on cooking your own meals, carrying as little as possible, avoiding getting hit im the abdomen at the club and testing new foods out privately near a bathroom. Enjoy Prague!
  4. Im also 6 months post op and im noticing that the shape you have prior to surgery is the shape you will have after just much smaller (generally) then the resculpting occurs in the gym and this is hard and takes alot of time and effort. Or plastics. Dont get discouraged you can do it!

    Anyone NOT lose their hair?

    I did tons of research on telogen effluvium and hairloss regrowth and this one was promising , im not out of the woods yet but im hopeful that this is helping minimize loss (and prayer) so i tell everyone i can.

    dont want to worry you but most people report loss starting 3 months out. Only a few lose immediately idk why and even fewer can claim no loss at all.

    Anyone NOT lose their hair?

    PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE everyone google the research on LLysine I've put it in every thread about hair loss I could I have been taking it from the start and so far minimal hair loss (plus vitamin and protein levels all good) Don't know if this is what is doing it for sure or genetics or the combination but ...
  9. Nope I wish the offered the DS in my area I would have done that instead (but not the RNY) Love the sleeve

    Non Scale Victories

    I just realized no longer have to worry about accidentally collapsing my ladder under my weight. I bought it without knowing the weight limit until I got it home and was taking the risks every time I used it.

    Dry skin and hair

    Use whichever oil you chose while showering. This will lock in the moisture.
  12. Today I actually looked small to myself! This is the lowest weight of my adult life... I cant even imagine being smaller. Only 20 lbs to goal 1 then re evaluate from there.

      I remember that day myself, walking around outside waiting on wife at doctor and turned corner and saw myself in mirrored office window. Stopped me in my tracks cause i think that was the first time i really saw i was not the same size.

      That must have felt amazing! Congrats! I certainly haven't felt "small" yet, but I did start seeing myself as more "normal" looking last week. I felt like I'd crossed the threshold of people seeing me and not immediately thinking "Wow, she's huge!"

    slightly disappointed

    Keto style diet drops weight quickly before surgery But balance is best long term
  14. Starting a SHTF thread It's all fun and games until ... You see your RD & NUT in the same room and they tell you you HAVE to weigh yourself weekly.

    Post-op fears

    Highest weight

    Thanks everyone You guys are so helpful and honest I really appreciate it I now know that I REALLY need to decide on my lowest weight so I can bounce up comfortably , I like contingency planning How does someone find out what their lowest possible weight can be (I saw something about bone density and such) ? BMI chart just does not seem super accurate ... Like most one size fits all things HW270 SW238 CW176 VSG11/7/17 [emoji956][emoji956][emoji956][emoji956][emoji956][emoji956][emoji956][emoji956][emoji956][emoji956][emoji956][emoji956]

    resetting my sleeve

    I hear it works but will depend on many factors How far out you are from surgery, if you actually have more weight to lose vs skin, etc HW270 SW238 CW176 VSG11/7/17 [emoji956][emoji956][emoji956][emoji956][emoji956][emoji956][emoji956][emoji956][emoji956][emoji956][emoji956][emoji956]
