Hi Jen! I just sent you an email I addressed it to Angel since I didn't read your whole post first to see your name is Jen! LOL! So sorry!!!!

Hi Angel! Thanks for the congrats! You will be here before you know it! Not only are we both nurses, but we both suffer from PCOS! What a nasty little disease! Don't worry about portion control after surgery, that is what you sleeve is for. If your results are similar to mine, you find yourself not hungry, EVER!!!! I have to make myself eat. I could live on water all day long (no bueno, need protein!) Last night we went out to dinner, I am still in the pureed stage so I ordered potato soup. I literally took 4 bites (spoon fulls) and felt Thanksgiving stuffed! I didn't even have the urge to eat more, just wanted my water, although I had to wait 30 mins to drink it Good luck, and if you have any questions know we are all here for you!!! Enjoy the ride, this journey leads to awesomeness!!!

In a previous thread you mentioned that you could email a link to a 26 page eating tips/life style changes. I would really appreciate it if you could post it on here somewhere if that is possible or email me. I am sorry if a lot of people are asking, but that sounds like a very usefull tool to have. Thank you so much in advance! emotions_of_love@hotmail.com

Lessons I've learned 6 years post sleeve!

This is what I have learned over the past 6 years post op!

Your sleeve is a tool. It's not the end all. You must watch what you eat. I was horrified that I had lost weight from 213 to 162 lbs and then went back up to 195 (July 2018) Currently, I am at 169 lbs (01/05/2019) and more fit.

When you are able to eat solid food, I recommend a group on Facebook called Push For Your Better by Amy Smith. I am still a sugar/carb addict. This is the main reason why I gain

Toning Exercises

Welcome visitors,
I've been asked questions regarding exercising before and after being sleeved to help tone.

PRIOR TO STARTING TO WORKING OUT, YOU MUST CHANGE YOUR EATING HABITS: Stop eating the crack food (high carbohydrates, sugars, sodas, chips, candy, bread, etc).

START: High, clean protein (lean meats/protein shakes), vegetables.
WATER, WATER, WATER...do don't forget the WATER!

FATS: Health fats are the key to keep fat off

I've been requested to post before and after photos. I am the one on the furthest right in the group shot. I don't know how to add additional photos. It only allows me one photo at a time.

The before shot was taken August 2012 at my 30 year reunion with a high school friend (4 months prior to my surgery December 7th, 2012).

Have a great week everyone!

Dietary Protein "Eating Your way to proper protein, even when you don't eat meat"

This is article is by Luncas Dyer, Certified and Licensed Sports Nutritionist in the magazine Jiu-Jitsu:

I'm going to give the reader's digest version of the article. You body can only absorb 42 grams of protein at one meal unless you have a digestive problem, then you will absorb less. The need factors range from 0.5 (sedentray, no sports training) to 1.1 (heavy weight trainer, athlete doing "2 a days training"). Even though your body will absorb this much protein,

Zumba tonight for one hour & possibly hitting the gym (eliptical 30 min, light weights for arms, and ab workout!). Looking forward to starting my week off right!
