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...
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...
Oh my gosh, how scary! I'm glad to hear you're doing better now, and well post-op!
Use a timer to remind yourself to drink water. Use those small medicine cups (an ounce), one every 15 minutes at...
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.
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...
Best of luck to you!
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...
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!).
Congratulations!! You look amazing! I'm glad to see you've done so well, and more importantly, are feeling so awesome!
Keep up the great work!
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.
Aw, love animals! Here's my Lola. 14302
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...
Fabulous! Congratulations!
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.
Wow, what a journey! Congrats on your winnings, and best of luck on the new part of your journey!
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...
I don't see the big deal with a hershey's kiss every now and then. Even if she had one a day, big deal. That can't be the main problem.
Good suggestions. I agree with ArizonaRN, and those who have...
You might get a better response if this were posted in the body makeover forum.. and not meetups.. ?! :]
Dave, InstaSlim (instaslim.com). There are spanx for men, too.
...seriously?! I'd still be on full liquid, 9 months out. I can't even get 100 freakin ounces of fluid in now. Yeesh.
This just makes me think of kidney stones, yikes. I had them, twice, after...
I'm 9 months out now, and cravings seem to be getting stronger. When I want something, I WANT it. Whether it's something healthy like shrimp, or a salad, or something crunchy like pretzels, or even...
Cravings are mental... and there's no way to remove them. True, you may not crave anything in the beginning, or even for awhile, but you will again. karensuue, I think you're talking more about...
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.
What...
It really depends on the person, and everyone is different (I know, I get tired of hearing that, too, but it's so true). Whether or not you have a lot of excess skin depends on things like your age,...
