Hello,

I did not have Major issues. Normal but my 2 month anniversary is December 1. The only thing I notice so far,hiccups when I'm full. My skin is looking great, hair cannot tell u cause I keep it braided and sewin(lol) I don't do beef or pork, chicken and turkey has been my friend. I stay on my period longer cuz I suffer from fibros. I will keep u guys updates.

Hello, I also suffer from Fibroids, I will be sleeved on Dec 16 2013. I wonder will the fibroids slow down my weight lost or will i have a hard time losing belly fat?

Hello All, can anyone recommend which brand of chewable vitamins that they are taking?

I'm taking optisource. They're $28 at Walgreens for a one month supply, however, you may be able to download a coupon for like $5 off from their website. You have to take four of them but they're orange flavored and actually taste ok.

Hi all! I've got my psych appt tomorrow morning! I'm ready to get it over with. Been going through some strong emotions anticipating how to handle the folks that will "change up" on me after I lose the weight. Did anyone treat you "nicer" or more like a lady when you lost? I really don't want to hold any grudges, but it's difficult to go from invisible to visible just bc of loosing weight. This does not include everyone of course. Is this the kind of stuff I should share at my appt tomorrow or is the focus more about if I'm mentally ready to change my eating habits?

People will treat you different. People will smile and speak to you. Last night I saw it. I have not nearly gotten down, I'm only two moths and notice. You cannot get wrapped up in other people when u going through this. You should concentrate on reason u are mentally ready to Change for a better healthy life just my opinion. Good luck!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
