Here is a bit of my info. I started this journey on 10/20/2011. I started off at 260 and got down to 149 (I'm 5'6 and a half)in 7 months. I felt awesome at that weight, but had a few comments on...

I am 3 years out as of 10/20. I lost all of my weight in the first 7 months. So by may of 2012 until Christmas of 2013 I stayed at my weight-or within 2-3 pounds. Then BAM! 15#'s found me. I...

Please don't give up. Also, I don't think 50 grams of protein a day is not enough. I had a Dr. tell me once at least 75 grams a day. Be kind to yourself. It will get easier.

Wow. Can I really be 2 years out already? Where did that time go. Just wanted to post a few words of wisdom to those considering a sleeve, those having a hard time or not, and how my journey has...

I use Omeprazole. I buy it at Sams Club. I split the tablet in half and take half in the am and half in the pm.

When I left the hospital they had given me some heartburn medicine. I still take it and I am almost 2 years out. I take half in the am and half in the pm. I still get sick on occasion-no rhyme or...

Thank you Missy & Christy for all of the information. I have decided to go with Dr. Niebles-I just haven't figured out the logistics yet. I am planning on getting my arms done and upper thighs. ...

I use this pancake recipe: Put 1 c. dry oatmeal in blender. Whiz it into powder form. Add 1 c. cottage cheese, 3 egg whites (I use the carton type) and mix it all up. Add 1 tsp. cinnamon and 1...

You look fabulous! I am trying to muster up the nerve to have a little PS done. Seeing the same Dr.'s name more than once is encouraging! Thanks for the info.

I am coming up on 19 months post op. I was one of the lucky ones who lost all of my weight in 7 months. I have maintained my weight for the last year. I weigh myself daily-I also exercise for an...

Protein shake or I have a great bran muffin recipe. It has 115 calories, 20 carbs, 5 protein and 5 fiber. Maybe not enough protein for some, but one is very filling and I am 1.5 years out. I...

So-what is thiamine for?

It is good to know that I am not the only one this happens to. I always just remind myself "today is a new day" and now I can start over. You have done great...keep reminding yourself of this.

Here are my thoughts...I am 17 months out. I was one of the fortunate ones...I never had a stall and lost all of my weight in 7 months. That being said...I am an avid exerciser. I strive for an...

I have had many days like that. So, tomorrow is a new day. I make sure I exercise every day...then when I want to put something In my mouth that is not a great choice, I think twice about it. ...

Going to the mountains to go snowshoeing. I'm not sure who likes it more-me or my dog! I do know this-it is a blast and an easy way to burn a ton of calories!

You will be fine. I had mine out 5 months to the day after my sleeve. It didn't set my weight loss back. I just couldn't exercise strenuously for a bit. Best of luck to you.

I lost 105#'s with my sleeve and I have seen on this forum where others have lost 150+ pounds. Get a second or even third opinion. Good luck!

Get your sleeve, focus on good eating habits and exercise and the weight loss will happen. I don't think ANY kind of diet pill is good for you.

I originally set mine for 170. I got down to 155 and have been here for 8'months. I vasciliate 3 pounds up and down. I weighed 140 when I was 21 and people kept telling me I looked anorexic (I...

I went to Dr. Aceves in Mexicalli. A little more $ but I would do it again in a heartbeat. Positive experience.

I have maintained my current weight (give or take 3#'s) for 7 months. I usually consume 1200-1600 a day. I also exercise every day. It is usually at least an hour. I go to the gym, walk,...

My suggestion? Only weight 1x a week. Never, and I mean NEVER weigh in the evening. That is just sabotaging your mindset. I am 15 months out and weigh myself daily now that I am at goal. Do...

Sometimes if I am craving I drink some water with Crystal Light in it. I am 14 months out and there are still some things that I can't have just 1 bite-because it would lead to 2 or 3, maybe 4 and...

Crossing my legs has to be the best NSV of all for me. Size 8 Levi's. Tucking my shirt in.
