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.

Hi friends...I got sleeved on 6/30 and for the last couple of weeks I have not had an appetite. I have to force myself to take 1-2 bites and I am done...and that is once a day. Is anyone else having these type of issues? Also, I having been losing weight like crazy as a result.

Bought two tops today that were size 14/16. And a bra that is a 38DD. Funny that even though my boobs are way smaller that the cup went up a size. I've been losing a lot of inches lately rather than weight. My pants are loose. I think I'm ready for 18s. I didn't find any pants at Ross that I liked to try on though. So I will just have to take the victory on the tops.

This is normal. I went through this but my appetite came back after 4 months. I now can eat more but it's still hasn't reached 1200 calories a day. I many eat between 600-800 calories a day. Also, overtime the weight loss will taper off.

I was sleeved on 7/16 and I've been going thru the same thing I can't eat anything and also the nausea and reflux is horrible even when I don't eat

I'm jealous you have a Ross to shop at I move to New England last summer almost died when I found out no more Ross. Lol The Marshall here suck. Guess Wal-Mart it is as I go back down the scale. Congratulations on your weight loss thus far
