DonnieJ, Thanks for the encouragement!! I really needed to hear that right now!!!! Congrats on being close to goal!!! So proud of you!!!!

AWESOME, AWESOME, AWESOME!!!! I know exactly how you feel!!!! Congratulations!! It only gets better from here!!!!

This is the actual site.. https://www1.bariatricadvantage.com/catalog/group/77102/

I lost a lot of hair from 3-7 months...I was taking Biotin and getting my Protein religiously.. Didn't help me... Just keep taking care of your hair, taking vits, getting protein and water... I would definitely start exercising.. I do aqua aerobics... As far as support group, I went once.. but I was fortunate to have others around me who were sleeved that I could lean on... Many ladies I met on this site have become close friends and we talk often... Perhaps making support group an appointment that you keep will help...

THanks!! You're hair is cute in your pic!! I work for a natural hair care company (my best friend's).. let me know if you're interested in trying some new products.. very reasonable and all natural!!

Soooo happy for you Sis!!!! Love you girl!!! We need to celebrate in DEC.!!!! I'll call you to plan it out!!!

Awesome job!!! WOW!!! I'm still waiting to reach 100 pound lose and I'm almost 10 months out... I'm very proud of you!!!

Awesome job!!!!

I use LifeOrganics products!... I love them.. all natural, reasonably priced and some of my own recipes too!! (This is my BFFs company), but i swear by the products.. I used the silky custard and mane moisturizer through my "falling out" phase and I promise, I didn't lose the amount of hair that some people did.... I believe it had to do with talking care it and probably a little "blessing"... Anyway, keep your hair and body moisturized inside and out... Check out the website... www.lifeorganicsonline.com

You guys are so awesome!!! I missing being able to post here very often!! But, as soon as I hit 299, you best believe I will let you know!!!! Congrats to all of you too!!!!

Yep!

Congrats!!! That's not a small thing!! There are no small things on this journey!!! I'm so happy for yoU!!!!

For me it was water!! When I get at least 64-80 oz a day, I don't crave and cave to junky Snacks..... If i don't, I'm almost a mini-human garbage disposal!!! I also pack healthy snacks in little baggies.. and when my baggies are gone, I'm done snacking for the day... Doing this has stopped me from raiding my co-workers snack bin.. Also, how are you on your vits?? When i miss my B-12 and B-complex I STAY hungry.. well, what I think it hungry!! LOL

Hey Guys!!! I've lost about 60-ish since surgery about 81 over all. I think...... went from a 28/30 to a size 20 so far... I'm not that thrilled about the number of pounds, BUT, I'm estatic about the inches I've lost so far... Hopefully by Dec. I will have dropped another 25-30 pounds... Keep up the good work!!!

Got mine from here... http://www.tickerfactory.com/weight-loss/wmKEppK/

My reflux is definitely worse.. it's not so bad that I regret being sleeved though... I just watch the time that I take my last bite and drink before bed, pop my ppi 2X a day.. and enjoy life!!..

I had reflux before surgery... Not as bad as it has been afterwards though... I think they look at how much (if any) erosion has taken place due to the acid... Ask lots of questions and think positive.. everything will be fine!!!!

Great topic.. I'm starting a jogging/running program very soon... I'm a little nervous... but I know it's one of the best things to do to build stamina and strength...

Congratulations!!! Awesome job!!!

WOW!!! Congratulations!!! Awesome job!!!! You are totally rocking your sleeve!!!!

Awesome job!! You look wonderful!!!

Congrats for making this decision to have a greater quality of life.. CONGRATULATIONS for being a survivor and beating cancer... I love Muscle milk and Premier Protein, both in chocolate.. I can't tolerate any other drinks.. they're too ugh!!... I would suggest buying two of each from the grocery store, chill one and leave one at room temp.. See if it changes the taste/texture for you... Good luck!!!

Congrats!! I'm so happy for you!!! Awesome job!!!

Blessings to you!!! Getting sleeved was one of the best decisions I ever made!!! No more health issues, seatbelt extenders, or sweating like a pig with the slightest movement!!!! I love my Sleevina!!!
