  1. Re: 4 Years and 4 months post op - turning myself back into the group for support

    It's honestly so relieving to me to read other's stories in similar situations. I was sleeved June 2012, so I'm about the same timeline as you. I lost 135 at my most, and have put back on about 60...

    Re: 2012 Sleevers! How ya doin?

    Wow, hello familiar people! :)

    I haven't logged in here in ages, and login to find this. I've been struggling, not even going to lie. I lost 135lbs, and it was going amazing. Then, life got in...

    Re: 8 days out

    Oh my gosh, how scary! I'm glad to hear you're doing better now, and well post-op!

    Looking good!! Congratulations on your success thus far! Wishing you continued success!
    I am, however, a little curious about those long walks on the beach... in Arkansas... hahaha.

    Re: adjusting to new way of eating

    I'm just over 2 years out, and struggling with carbs/sweets as of the last several months (many things contributed to that). While I'm certainly not as bad as I used to be, I have gotten away from...

    Re: Newbie with surgery in 1 day and concerned!

    Do what you can to fight off getting sick, within the rules of pre-surgery (whatever your specific rules are, like no fluids 12 hrs before). If you're sick, they will postpone. While it will...

    Re: A very tasty protein shake

    Good advice. I, too, liked certain protein powders before surgery that I can't stomach now. I just cannot do powder, only pre-made (of course my sleeve would have expensive taste!).

    Re: Sunflower Back!

    Welcome back! I've just come back, too. I need to get in gear, and I missed the support I felt here. I feel it could help me get back on track and finish off these last 40 or so lbs.

    15 months out.. struggling.

    It took me a long time to get up the nerve to post this. Maybe because I didn't want others to see the disappointment I feel in myself. As I say that, I know that it's not THAT bad. I haven't gained...

    Re: Fainted tonight...

    This has happened to me before my sleeve, so I don't think it's that. You likely had a dip in blood sugar, and the heat makes that feeling worse.

    Re: High Key Tones and Protein in Urine

    I get up there with protein sometimes, and if I paid closer attention could do it regularly (I make sure I get min 70). Fluid though, nope. I'm trying to push myself more and see how much I can get...

    Re: High Key Tones and Protein in Urine

    ...seriously?! I'd still be on full liquid, 9 months out. I can't even get 100 freakin ounces of fluid in now. Yeesh.

    Re: Newbie has a question about Protien

    I've never heard of any chewable protein pills. I'd just be careful, make sure it's whey isolate protein (the easiest for the sleeve to digest and use), and watch out for sugar and carbs.
