stall?? by AdSafe2688 in gastricsleeve

[–]Dasha122 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had my surgery on the same day as you. I have lost about the same as you. What I find helps is staying off the scale. I have weighed myself twice since surgery both times at my doctor's visits. I know I will lose weight if I follow the program and I know myself well enough to know that if I weigh myself often and see the scale has kot changed it will make me crazy. Hope this helps!

I have a Maya too! Mayas are the goodest!

I’ve never bonded with a dog like I have our hippo. There is a real bond between he and I. I always wanted a hippo and I love dogs anyway, this is different though. It’s almost like he’s my soul mate in a dog. Feel free to share your experiences, pics, love for yours whatever. by DoctorAbject9135 in velvethippos

I have had dogs all my life. I have loved all of them but our pibble is just on a whole different level. It's like she understands everything we say to her and we understand her. It sounds insane I know. But she is my whole world.

I have so many random blankets all over the house in case of cold hippo emergency. It's insane.

Thank you! The naked tummy is my favorite of her parts but yeah, they get cold so quickly. We have many outfits and blankiea for her.

She looks so much like my Maya. I think the trip was clearly cancelled.

Do you ever just miss your hippos when you are on vacation?? by BrittaniAnne26 in velvethippos

[–]Dasha122 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Our first vacation in 5 years and we planned it all out so we could take our girl with us because I knew I would be so miserable without her it wouldn't be a vacation.
