Hi All!

I wanted to start a thread for African-American sleevers (no worries I HEART all sleevers from the rainbow). I just thought, no scientific proof, that African-American sleevers may respond to the surgery different than our lovely non-African American sleeved sisters and brothers. I wanted to know if we had the same skin issue, hair problems, and other surgery related issues. Also, how to deal with the culture shock. African-American "soul food" may be something of the past... or not. So I was just looking for a space to voice culture related issues and concens.

PS- I TRULY :heart: ALL SLEEVERS.

I have it on my Ipad....need to use it....I would tell you my nickname on there, but I dont know it....

Lol

I love MyFitnessPal! It has completely changed my weight loss experience and made everything sooo much easier. I use it to log all my food & water. My PT hasn't released me to exercise yet, but as soon as I start, I can log that too

I guess I am going to have to find out whats going on with this myfitnesspal. Everyone is talking about it and there is a free app on the iphone for it....

I use it all the time. It is the best calorie tracker out there.

Is myfitnesspal on iPhone only app

You can use it on your phone and online.

I have it on my android.

My last Nutrition appt woohoo!!!

Just got back from my last nutrition appt, even though I gained 8 lbs since the last appt she didnt extend it yay! So NUT said she would submit info to surgeon today. 10 mins later I got a call from the surgeon's nurse saying she was going over my paperwork and would submit today! She said anthem blue cross takes between 1 to 2 weeks for approval so I'm hopeful.

Hello babygirl best of luck

Ok I have a serious question don't judge me. I am 25# from goal and my buttocks has completely deflated, how do I plump it back up to something minus the weight that I had before?
