Thanks for posting your photos and wisdom, Tammy. Good to see you here, too, Sue.
Both of you look terrific.
I am wearing size 16 jeans, down from 24 - 26. I am happy with my progress so far...
Hi Brooke,
Because the sleeve changes your hormonal make-up, I tend to think it will help you. While your condition is rare, excess weight gain caused or aggravated by chronic cortisol secretion...
One of this forum's veteran members referred to her wookie. The wookie can be very loud!
Mine was extraordinarily noisy for at least 3 months, maybe longer. Intrusive in the conversation at times....
I am doing yoga and really enjoying it.
Thanks for the thread, plenty of good ideas here.
I especially like the idea of doing some stationary bike riding before work in the mornings, although my...
uum, haven't tried it long enough to say for sure, but i heard a rumour that exercise might help..
Wow! What a difference a year makes!
Are you feeling more like yourself?
Are you much happier? Bet you are.
Thanks for sharing.
Interesting how our minds play tricks on us.
Came back to review this thread because it's an enjoyable one.
Since mid-January, I've been doing yoga most mornings. It's my most consistent, sustained practice apart from attending weekly classes...
Dear Ruby (and other sleevers here who are going through the same experience),
Thanks for posting. I feel your pain.
Let's keep some perspective -- we have both worked away an unprecedented...
You are on very low calories, Lindy Jo. You might lose more on higher calories.
If you are exercising as well, you must get pretty tired.
I would talk to the dietician about putting your calories...
Dear Aileen,
I swallow my vitamins whole now, have been since I was about 6 months out from surgery.
You will get back to a new 'normal' before too long. Only tablets I avoid now would be very...
Thanks for your reply and your encouragement, Luann. I hadn't thought of it that way.
It's the rainy season in Tonga, so maybe not so different to Seattle. After living in the desert a few years I...
Hi Grace,
Lovely to see you on line and I am happy that you are getting the information you need to maximise your power!
I have had pea and rice protein powders. The plain pea powder was fine for...
I have been travelling and in some upheaval since leaving my home on short notice in September. And guess what? My weight hasn't changed at all. I have been hovering around 90kg (198lb) for about 3...
Thank you for posting, you look absolutely gorgeous. Enjoy that hot little body you have worked so hard for and all the freedom that comes with it.

Sound advice BC, thank you. I am in a similar situation -- have seen it described here many times, so thanks for posting, Sharon.
Warm wishes,
Nel
I tried scuba diving before my weight loss and am looking forward to doing it again at a smaller size. In the meantime my partner and I went snorkelling with humpback whales in the open ocean near...
Thanks for asking and welcome to this excellent forum!
I ended up using Almased, a German product I got sent from the States. I liked it because it only had products I could identify in it. I also...
k_jo -- if it's any consolation you are on a normal kind of trajectory for sleeve patients. What studies we have about people after the sleeve show that the great majority of people are able to keep...
Talk to your doc about it. My partner, who is recently sleeved, has had bad reactions to ther staples and glues before but the titanium staples and glue used internally have been no problem at all...
Pippa -- you might need more calories.
I vary mine between about 800 and 1400 -- but I'm much further out than you.
Might be worth shaking it up up a bit. Nothing wrong with your menu but might...
Hi Jewelz -- you'll find plenty of resources in Sydney.
Protein powders are widely available. The docs tend to recommend Optifast, because they bought a lot of doctors dinner in the 90s. I used...
Y'know Nancy, you'll be able to have a slice of pumpkin pie, a small one, if you leave room, just like a normal person.
Laurie, more than anything, this surgery has made my eating normal. I'm not...
I eat quite a lot more than K. I eat about 1200 cal a day, more or less. I eat pretty much like a person with a small stomach.
You know those people who always made you sick? They eat a sausage and...
