23 Year Old Female. Lap Band Revision to Vertical Sleeve - Bloomfield Hills, MI

Thank you! I feel amazing! I usually eat a lite breakfast like an egg or carnation instant breakfast. Lunch is usually these really good vegan frozen meals that I'll eat throughout my work day. P.s. I'm not vegan but they are high protein and low fat and sodium. Dinner is usually chicken, fish or pork and veggies. And sometimes a salad with portobello. Always protein first. If I need a snack I really like cliff bars. They are a more natural/less processed protein bar. And low fat string cheese :) oh, and I don't really drink dairy milk anymore. I switched to light almond milk. I haven't done a lot of exercise but I just started doing strength training to rebuild some of the muscle I've lost.

Thanks for writing me ! those sound good :) wow awesome! :)))

I loved that too :)

Thank you :)

I think it kind if depends on the person. I had over 100lbs to loose and it's been just over a year since my surgery and I have been at or below my goal weight since March 2nd and my skin has pretty much shrunk all the way back. Just a little toning to do now. But I'm super anal about lotioning. It's the first thing I do after I shower and the last thing I do to end my day. I use regular lotion everywhere and then the palmers cocoa butter for stretch marks everywhere that I have them. Those have also gotten smaller and they are white now instead of pink. Bio oil is good to. Anything super moisturizing and rich is good. The more hydrated you keep your skin, the better the elasticity and that means it will shrink back more. Hope this helps :)

You have no idea!!! Thanks so much. You do look great! I have my very first appointment July 8th, I'm a little nervous to say the least.

I had the surgery with the same surgeon. I don't have any excess skin. Depends on how fat you are and for how long. That's what my surgeon said

And if u don't mind what was your starting and ending weight??
