  1. Re: Is nobody worried about slowing their metabolism down too much?

    My metabolism has kind of evened out for now, but I'm still making not-so-great food choices because I've been traveling so much. I think I'm about at the stage where I'm ready to recommit and I'm...

    Re: Is there a " best" time to eat or drink?

    I have a big protein bump early in the morning by way of isopure rtd. It's 40g of protein right off the bat. As long as you get your protein in, there's no "right" time of day. Remember, just as...

    Some therapy might not go awry in your particular situation. The sleeve limits how much you can eat but you still have to do the hard work. Make sure to keep a lot of protein heavy snacks on hand -...

    I need to find another binder because bananas are a no-go for me, but I'm sure I can find something. Thanks for posting!

    Juniors? NSV? No kidding!

    One of the things I was looking forward to with sleeving was getting 'better' clothes. I've talked a lot about it. So my latest thing is I've been - well not jealous really - but really wanting...

    Hi April,

    It's totally understandable to feel this way. You have had your timetable pushed way up and humans in general don't like personal chaos. (Funny, some of us love to cause chaos...

    Re: 5 days post op

    Your body is in full on healing mode. And yes, your sleeve is irritated and angry and doesn't want much in it. For now, all you need to concentrate on is getting enough fluids. You don't want to...

    Re: No energy... Heading into 4th day.

    As long as you're taking in enough fluids to stay hydrated that's all that's important. Your body is in full revolt after your surgery and you're bound to be exhausted. You and your sleeve are...

    I weighed exactly the same at my 1 week appointment as on my surgery day. Everyone is different and takes a different amount of time to get rid of all that IV. Also your body is still in revolt...
  13. Re: Plastic surgery consult on 8/6, they want a list of how the skin affects my life

    I think Ann is onto something. Insurance is more likely to cover plastic surgery (and some insurances do cover more than you might think) if you can prove you're medically better off from a monetary...

    I drank coffee at about 2 months - that was about all I could stand without it. I never drank much alcohol before my surgery but I started to have a glass of wine or so somewhere between four and...

    It's natural to be excited and a little nervous. I'm glad that you're in a private hospital (I was based in Milton Keynes for five years) and the level of care is much better. Best of luck for...

    Congrats, that's fantastic. Breaking 300 was great and breaking 200 was even better. You're on your way :)
  18. Re: Help, got home yesterday... Not sure how to digest liquids and protein.

    Go slow. Make sure you drink enough water to stay hydrated or you'll get slapped back in the hospital. Don't overthink though. You are in the very beginning stages of your healing and I wouldn't...
