Hi - it has been a while since I have been on this site but wanted to come back and give an update on my sleeve adventure. I had surgery 12/28/12 and it feels like a lifetime ago. I LOVE my sleeve!...

Yep - dehydration. I have that often and once I double my water intake..poof its gone. Drink up

You look amazing. Cannot wait for that to me be! Super happy for you

The reality is ice cream cake is out there in the world and it tasts so darn good. The best thing you did was be honest with yourself and change direction. I did the same thing a few weeks ago with...

That was my biggest fear with the surgery. I would call your doctor (if you have not already) because it may be a sign of a dehydration. I would push protein to the max (bar's and drinks) because...

Need Help! I am in a rut and I am snacking again because I am not getting the right amount of protein in during meals. My WL has stalled for the last month so I know it is my diet. Do you any of...

I eat baby dill pickles weekly. I do corn beef, cream cheese wrapped in a baby dill pickle and it is a great meal. I get a little heart burn sometimes but it is worth it.

I feel so bad for you and your experience so far. I was nauseous for both of my pregnancies for the entire 9 months and I felt like I just living each day was a huge chore. It is miserable. I...

Great response - you are right, we have to move it people (by people I mean me..haaa). How do you get that much protein in a day? I was lucky to get 50 grams with one pre-mixed protein shake and...

I want to hear the answer to this too. I am getting frustrated / worried / anxious that my weight loss has stopped. This past month, I have only dropped 5 lbs. I am following the program fairly...

I picked mine (160) because I cannot even remember when I weighed that much. The charts all say I should be 140 to 150 and while that would be nice - I would look weird I think at that weight. I am...

Great progress! Congrats

Mine is just starting to fall out :(

I read your post last night before bed and it has been on my mind since then. First of all - so glad you came for support. Most of us here are new on our journeys so we are in the zone of what to...

yeah!

You can confess to us :) The reason they want you to phase food in is because your tummy is still healing. They want to avoid any chance of infection or trauma to your newly changed stomach. I...

teachertoo, thanks for sharing the new book. I listened to a book on tape about it (different title but I cannot remember it) but it basically says how food manufacturers know how addictive this...

I don't worry about carbs - Like the others work hard on your protein and water for at least the first three months. Eat your proteins first at meal time then if you have any room - add carbs or...

I WANT ONE so bad! I loved using those at the gym and it would be great to have at home. I have an elliptical so this would be a nice addition. I think it is great exercise. It works legs, arms,...

1) Why do some people continue to eat fast food / slider food / "crap" after their VSG?
fast food / slider food / processed food are made to be addictive. They are loaded with sugar - fat - salt. ...

There is not way 3 meals would sustain me at this stage. I eat so little, I need to have a snack. My routine is breakfast (yogurt or cottage cheese), water, water, water, lunch time (protein) then...

I am 3 months out and this is a huge issue for me. My dr suggested prunes (gag..) so I started those and still NOTHING. Do NOT do the magnesium citrate - my dr told me its a no - no. They said...

Amazing how much you have changed! Good for you!!!! I hope I can be down that much at 6 months. Keep up the great work

Hey - things are going good still. Getting close to the 60 lb. mark but have been in a stall for almost 3 weeks. Had my 3 months post op appointment and all is good. I love being able to take long...

84 lbs is amazing! It is a good refresher for all of us post sleeve. This is what we make it. If we work out - eat right the weight will come off. I am not a "hard core" diet person or a "hard...
