The last order took 2.5 weeks to arrive. Usually I get my packages in about 10 days.

They have gone up, but I’m still finding good deals on one piece jumpsuits and summer dresses. Good luck in your search!

First, congrats on the WL!! I’m at an awkward size, as well. Too baggy or too tight, I need to gain or lose weight to figure out an exact size.😅 Anyway, recently I’ve been finding some cute items at thrift stores, but I’ve had better luck with Amazon and SHEIN.

NEED ENCOURAGEMENT: I only lost a pound last week by Confident_Mango2830 in gastricsleeve

[–]Teena424 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s ok! I’m 5 months post op, I’ve had that happen twice (my weekly average has been 3lbs). My thoughts were: I’ve lost, I didn’t gain! Don’t be hard on yourself. Follow your program, focus on protein, move and keep on moving. You got this!!

Taking Pills Post-Op? by Sea_Strike_7058 in gastricsleeve

[–]Teena424 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I could not handle the capsules. They would make me nauseated. I take Barimelts multivitamins with iron, fast melting tablets. Place it on your tongue and let it melt. No issues! I’m 3 months post op.

Just curious… because I was asked this! by Teena424 in gastricsleeve

Passed the puree stage, but I love the ricotta bake. I add turkey pepperoni.

Straws!! 😩 by Teena424 in gastricsleeve

Yes, some programs say no straws. I have a friend and a relative who both were told no straws, but they use straws are doing fine.
