Where are you in MN? I am in Lakeville and work in Burnsville.
I always find it interesting how different medical personnel speak about this. I was told, 3 meals a day no more than a cup in size and no snacks.
Hi Reese- As the others have said, it is a personal choice. The lap band is considered reversible (which is important for some people), it will need to be replaced at some point (approx. 10 years),...
When you fall off a horse, get back on and look forward, not backward. In addition to throwing away those cookies and not buying them again (I'm serious), keep your head held high, go eat some...
Thankfully I have not experienced what you are talking about. In fact, things have been getting much easier in the passion department as I'm losing weight. It's been a long time since I've had...
It took me 11 months trying to jump through hoop after hoop and although it was a very frustrating time, I did end up getting my sleeve July 11th, and I not only appreciated it even more, I felt like...
Superb prose, sleeve brothah! Congrats on all the former "tent" clothes being loose; I plan to increase my charitable giving in the clothing department as well!
Hi Nora- Is the list really long? Would you post the list of no-no's for me? I wasn't given such a list. Thanks, Kathy
Woot! Woot! You blow that horn, girlfriend; you've earned it! So happy to read about and I love reading stuff like this...kind of like a second lease on LIFE, right?
OMGosh, I have eaten popcorn (a cereal bowl size) about 3 times and have had no problems. I did not know this is a "no-no"! It is so light I chew it down to nothing and it doesn't have many...
I think u r supposed to sip all day long, not full out drink. Just make sure u r doing that and u shud b fine.
As a former smoker, don't do it. Tell yourself you are smarter than that AND think of the money you'll save. One cig will turn into more and why give it all up for 5 minutes of "fun"????? Good...
My family even eats this- it is like a quiche
1 16 oz container fat free cottage cheese
1 10 oz package frozen chopped broccoli (thawed and well drained...I just take a couple of cups after I...
Please tell me you had underwear on- hahahaha! That story made my day!
I heard of someone who had no energy and it ended up being "hypoglycemia". Going to the doc is a good idea. Also, my doc said Slimfast's have way too many carbs. If you hate the protein powder...
I have pureed chili (which my doc suggested) and that has tons of protein. I have pureed taco ingredients that contain protein and that is yummy too. Mashed potatoes was on my list but I haven't...
No to the back pain problem but I just wanted to voice my support for you. Take it one sip at a time (like you have a choice, right? :--) and hang in there. It will get better...
The straws add too much air into your stomach. It can be harder to eat and can cause gas. IF I use a straw, I put my tongue on the end of the straw after I've inhaled to air (before the liquid),...
Josh, I don't know you but now I'm part of the "sleeve family" so I kind of feel like I do. God bless you, man. Sounds like a nightmare you couldn't wake up from. So glad all is well. Question...
Good luck Selah. My daughter's name is Selah!
Such excitement- you are contagious! I have much to look forward too. Congratulations...
I am a teacher too and was watching the summer days tick by due to slow insurance. Then I was denied due to an error on THEIR part, but I still had to appeal. I wrote a letter to my insurance...
I was just thinking about this today (I know, weird), but gastric bypass patients have a small opening to their stomachs, do we too? The way the surgery drawings look to me regarding sleeving is...
This surgery can have exponential benefits to your help. If you're still game, don't let a tiny neck thing hold you back.
