Spellbound

Actually, do you premier count toward fluids? If so, doing better than I realize!

That sounds great. I’m not getting enough in - it’s very tedious and I’m lethargic. You’ve inspired me.

40, sleeves Wednesday of last week.

Yes. Had VSG 9/19 and swollen and lumpy.

Hi everyone, I keep reading horror stories about Sleevers past 5 or 10 years. I’m wondering if there are any of veteran sleevers with no revisions, major miserable side effects, issues, weight gain from expanded sleeve, that are still thriving and happy with their choice? I’m a week post op and everyone’s horror stories are causing me major regrets and fear.

Habit Minder! Best best best. I’ve tried a ton and this is clean, easy, reliable, and notifies my watch even if my phone is far

My dietician said this would happen and recommended I get a special brush for dry brushing. I got it online and she said it (1) helps with the smell and (2) helps purge the skin.

11 days away and I messed up one day on my pre-diet due to a work outing. Eating with people is such a freaking challenge! But I’m up to the task. I have to get my one-liners together. One question - have you told anyone what you have going on? What do you tell your employees?

This is a godsend. Thanks for posting this!

I guess my comment doesn’t count because I haven’t gone through it yet. Maybe I’ll wish I did it sooner 6-12 months from September.

Congrats everyone on achieving this major milestone. I was approved on August 16th for September 19th. I will start the liver shrinking diet on Wednesday or Thursday of next week - I have a move planned on 8/31 so I’m thinking I’ll be too busy to think about what I’m missing. I’m concerned about the social implications of weight loss and nosey people (I’m a private person but body changes are not private)!!! But for now I’m proud of 6 months of preparation and getting to this step.

Congrats! I was approved last week and scheduled for surgery on the 19th! I’m both excited and scared. I just signed up for class too. I’m stoked though.

Fibroids can cause hair loss??????!!!!

I just turned 40 and was approved last week. My op date is 9/19. I don’t have regrets about waiting. I love myself more, appreciate the health and wellness impact of my decision more, and I have a more realistic grasp on what I’m getting myself into. 10/20 years ago I was struggling with seeing myself (truly), self concept, and was given to toxic relationships. Now I’m more grounded. This means so much more now than it would have then.
