I loved sushi pre-op. I don't know how it will be now though. You really have to eat a big piece of food at one time. It would be weird to take a piece and cut into bite size pieces. Right now I'd be surprised if I could get one in.... I am interested to hear what others have to say.

I'm a slow looser so I exercise alot. I do a circuit workout (simmilar to curves) on my lunch break and then do cardio or swimming after work. Yesterday I was doing the circuit and the lady that owns the gym told me that I had "outgrown" the machines and its time for me to move on into strength training.
She's going to start teaching me the moves next week!!

Okay.. I'm only two weeks out but I've been DYING to post something.
I have worn nothing but sweat pants since surgery because I took a full two weeks.
I'm back at work now and the cloths I was busting out of before are now baggy.
It's no bikini and board shorts... but I'm on my way:lol0:

I'm not very far out yet but I'm jumping on this thread because I love reading all your NSV. Hopefully I'll have some soon!!!

Thanks
I knew if anyone was going to have the low down on leaks it would be you:cool0:

I dont know, but I imagine that most of the guides are for bypass which has a malabsorption component. Thankfully the sleeve has no malabsorption so you are able to get many vitamines from food. We don't eat a whole lot though, so we need to take a little something to make sure we are getting all we need.
I take centrim daily Vitamins as well as calcium citrate supplements. Many people take Iron, Vitamin D, and B12 sublingual as well. If you get a multi make sure it has Biotin and zinc to help stave off Hair loss. If you go to the Bariatric Advantage website, they have vitamins by procedure.
I haven't had my labs yet so I don't know if I'm low on anything, but I feel pretty good.

thanks tiffikins
I have a little pain this morning.... well....not really pain. I think I just have gas.

am I really a "tiny" person?
I was chatting with my hairdresser yesterday and told her about my surgery. Her response was "oh, I knew someone else that did that and she was just like you... this little tiny person trapped in a big body"
Am I a little tiny person? Its so hard to get used to. It takes our brains a while to catch up to our bodies. I get frustrated because all the size smalls seem to run too big.... then I realize... they arnt big... I'm little

I love Yoga. I go to hot yoga near my house a couple of times a week. My class usually has a lot of those lean yoga girls in it... and then a few of us regular people sweatin it out in the back row. I was siting on my mat after class one day and glimpsed one of the yoga girls with her flat back and long lean limbs. I didn't really fully process my glimps of this yogi fully, but when I looked up, I realized that it was my reflection in the studio mirror !!!!!!!

Hi guys,
I just found this spot. How exciting to find likeminded people.
As far as the beliefe non beliefe thing above..... I think we all just put the world together in the way that makes the most sense to us. I don't see Athiesm is either right or wrong.... its just how I put my world together.
take care

I have a male friend who is 7'3'' with a BMI somewhere in the 40s. Obviously he has to shop at the big and tall store. He refers to it as the fat and freakey store (kinda hard on the self image if thats where you shop).
I just got into a 12 too !!!!
Congradulations... I know you must feel great

2 questions lis
1) when will you (the skinney lady) sing... how far out will you feel safe
2) when you have heard of people having these undetected leaks were there any symptoms at all. Maybe in hindsight people could come up with a warning sign. :thumbup1:
thanks

I have been watching the tickers of the people who got sleeved on or around the same time I did. One thing I noticed is that even though we all ave different amounts to loose our tickers move at almost exactly the same rate. that is.... at 2 months we were a little over a quarter of the way... at one month just under. I think somewhere between month 3 and 4 we will all be half way. They are loosing much more weight but we all seem to be loosing the same percentage of our body weight.
Its frustrating though.... especially when I see people posting that it may get even slower than this. YIKES....
