They might all be different but at mine everyone introduces themselves. After that, talking is optional. I am shy too and really enjoy support groups at over a year post op. You’ll be fine. 😀

This is my first photo post on BP! I read this forum almost every day and find it so helpful but never had the nerve to post a picture. My one year surgiversary was last week and I’ve lost 118 lbs total. Hit my goal in less than 10 months and been maintaining since. Before this summer, I don’t remember the last time I wore white pants, but now I have 3 pairs! 😊

I ate very little fruit until maintenance mode. Now I eat some fruit most days. Never had any issues tolerating fruit.

No issues here either

I’m like kcgirl— a year out and usually cold. On the bright side, I used to sweat like a pig and now rarely do. I’m even cold at the gym sometimes!

It’s your stomach digesting. Lots of noise and movement going on in there. At least that’s what I have!

Sounds like you’re doing great—congrats! The energy comes with time. After 3-4 months, I had more energy than I can ever remember.

That was exactly my pattern. Weight loss almost always happened on the weekend. I have no idea why but it became predictable.

I have people tell me often that I look younger after losing 115 lbs but I think I look older. Either way, I look and feel so much healthier that it’s worth it. And I’m a size 8, which is crazy to me!

I agree with flip flops. You’re not going to want to bend over to tie your shoes or deal with socks. Definitely slip on shoes.

Be careful with the zero carb bread. I’m 10 months out and tried it about 3 months ago. I felt like a balloon was expanding in my stomach for 4 hours. It was awful! I’ve had good luck with Flatout Wraps. The chipotle flavored one is smaller and just like 60 calories I think. Or I do half an original one.

Yep I have this. I’m almost 10 months post sleeve.

Depends on your insurance requirements and surgeon’s requirements. Make sure you understand both.

I tried eating it once. Had intense stomach pain for about 4 hours. Worst thing I’ve felt since surgery, which was over a year ago. I can tolerate the Flat Out wraps and corn tortillas fine but not trying the Zero Carb bread again!
