Thank you so much for your response. I was thinking the same, so much more convenient to travel with them... but only if they work. I will give them a shot and then have labs run.
Thank you so much for responding!!!! I really appreciate your feedback!!!
Hi-is anyone using PatchAid vitamins? Do they work? Meaning did anyone have labs done recently and they made a difference?
Thank you for the suggestion! Dr. Marrotti is amazing!!! I had my first surgery already with him, full belt and bat wings! In a month I am having my elephant thighs done! Then once healed, I need to build muscle! I finally am starting to feel comfortable in my skin!
He is so booked up....my consult is not until March 2022!!! so excited though.
thank you for your reply...i just saw this now. I know alcohol is my problem and lack of exercise. i am just not motivated. Working at home, i live in gap sweat shorts. no reason to wear my cute work clothes, do my makeup or hair. i am trying to climb out of my rabbit hole and it is so hard!
I lost my family too... brother, mom and dad. That is why I have been drinking. Oh man, and the sleep issues are horrible!!!! Sounds like our experiences are parallel and I need to just power through it. Thank you so much for sharing your experience and I hope we both get back down our "normal" weight! I'm sorry for your losses too!
Hi, I am considering plastic surgery, can anyone recommend a plastic surgeon in concord or Walnut Creek (California)?
Thank you! And congratulations to you! I need to get motivated again! I am slowing cutting alcohol back and soon out. I need to get my arse moving but... not there yet.
Hello all,
Its been a long time since I have been here, but I am slipping and can use help. I have fallen into a major depression due to our current issue and family stuff. i am on depression meds now, and they are helping a bit. I am gaining weight and still fit into my clothes...but barely! I am so scared. I never want to be the old person I was and I could use some pointers on how to jump start weight loss again.
Here is how I screwed up and know I need to fix....its obvious, but I could use other tips and tricks please. I began drinking alcohol, but now switched to light wine....working on stop drinking all together, been hard. I have not exercised in a long time. I do eat healthy for the most part, the part I am struggling with is getting off my rump and exercise. I am tired and stressed out. My hair has been coming out due to stress and it became so thin I cut it to chin length just to give it more body. Please share your experiences with me - I would appreciate it!
Hi Guys,
Its been ages since I have been on here but I need help please. I noticed now that I am 8 years out...I am burping a lot. Is anyone else experiencing this? I barely drink carbonated stuff - maybe 1 a week. It is embarrassing and I am very discreet about it....but it is annoying. It happens everyday and I am not overeating or gulping.
Hello ladies,
I just realized that my calcium pills only give me 50% of daily recommended!! What brand are you all using? I would like something that is going to offer more than that.
Thank you for your advice :)
Did you all have the surgery too? And on thryiod Med? Or is it just aging? I am struggling right now and embarrassed about my arms! Is there anything we can do for it?
Thank you for all this knowledge - I will look into potassium! Have fun fencing! that is awesome
Sounds like she is jealous and you just keep rocking what you are doing..... huge win for you! congratulations!
Super strange question but there is 1 other person that has had the surgery and has the same issue as me. Not sure if it is surgery related or not. I had the gastric sleeve 6 years ago and on thryiod medicine and so is my friend - we both have thinning skin on our forearms. If we bump into something, either the skin breaks open and bleeds or a red spot will appear and then may break open later. It could be as simple as my dog jumping up on my arms :(
I am 44 years old - so it could be age related too - but I am healthy other than a small spare tire still. Is anyone else experiencing thin skin after surgery? I know I run a lot colder now but just curious if any of you experience what we have? If yes, please share. It comes and goes...
Hi - my lunch everyday is romaine lettuce, chopped kale and a protein - usually tuna. Protein and fiber :) Healthy and filling. It is the dense protein that fills up our pouches, so that is why it seems we can eat more lettuce than a cup.
Thank you all for the love and support and great advice. Head is getting back in the right place, body to follow very soon:) I have to get rid of my spare tire! I refuse to buy any clothes that are larger size than what I have been wearing for the last 6 years.
life has just kicked my arse and ran to food by mistake!
Thank you all for the advice! Have a lot of thinking and planning to do
True but I know the food ones are so overpriced! They sound good but I can generally buy stuff cheaper at the store. I should be open minded and try it for a month and see how it goes, it may get me back on track and try something new.
Hi,
I will be walking more on the weekends - so that is something I can control. My dog has all his shots and I am going to start taking him on hikes. I walk him almost everyday - it is the weights and muscle I do not do anymore.
The job thing will take awhile - the area I live in does not pay well - that is why we all commute to the city :( I may have to change career paths.
Good point on the desk exercises! I do walk on my breaks - and only have a 1/2 hour lunch break. I feel like my head is in the right place, but my hands and mouth are doing something totally wrong.
I think my first step is to get rid of my spare tire, then try and work on the muscle stuff. I feel really squishy and unattractive. I have worked so hard to get to 140 - but the last year has been a real struggle with all the changes.
Thank you for your advice. I also would like to go to meetings... will try and find out where they are in my new neighborhood.
