I was kinda hoping that someone on her came from her area of California and knew her personally. It breaks my heart that maybe she died because of the surgery she feared so much. She was a bit...
Many of you communicated with "gokiwi68" throughout her sleeve journey. I talked to her a lot through this site, email and once on the phone. She really didn't want to have sleeve surgery but her...
My Christmas will be a blessing if the predicted massive ice storm is less intense than they say so that our son, our stage 4 breast cancer daughter-in-law, our 4 year old granddaughter can be here...
From my very first appt. with a dietitian to now....I have lost 80% of my intended weight-loss - and I am still losing.. I am 68 years old but I workout like a 40 year old. That first dietitian...
Excellent job, Carmen! You look really good. That next goal will just be icing on the cake
Eggs always made me feel full, sick and hurting. I can finally eat them now, 9 months out.
I'm with Celeste on the towel thing, so cool. As one Chris to another, you CAN do this. It's not easy but SO worth it! Keep us posted :-)
Congratulations on your successful surgery!!!! Way to go, girl! There will be good days and bad but we are all here to help, motivate, inform, lend a shoulder or a kick in the seat. This site...
I agree with skinny2be.....It's quite a ride. But follow the rules, love yourself even in days of doubt and be grateful for the second chance. It's all worth it!
Way to go! You look fabulous!
Thank you for all of your compliments. I really appreciate good words from fellow sleevers (past, present and future) because you know what I have dealt with. The words are not hollow. I hope for...
I was going to wait until I was at goal but being 10-15 lbs out is good enough. The now pics are before and at my 50th high school reunion. I had a straight skirt and 3" heels on. Something I...
Yeah....the excessive saliva and LOTS of mucus in the back of my throat. I have had to spit out mouthfuls of the stuff. You PAY big time when you eat beyond capacity. Even 8 months out, that...
I'm am a few days from being 8 months out and I have found that I many "slider" days...weeks (ugh). But the only thing that works is going back to protein drinks 2-3 times a day and a protein, light...
My nut also said 40 oz water - 24 oz other liquids
Since I have lost 70lbs, I find that I like to exercise...vigorously. I used to walk every day before surgery. It didn't take any weight off because I ate to compensate. Now I work out 7 days a...
I went into surgery not knowing if Medicare would cover it (Michigan) and had my supplemental insurance "on hold" to cover it (all or part) if Medicare didn't. I was told that in Michigan that the...
I have the food creeping up or stuck like a bubble sensation also. It is more noticeable now at 6 months than it was before. It could be because I am not always chewing completely. Right now, I am...
I think those that are biologically destined to lose hair...lose hair. I have eaten more than 80grams of protein each day, taken Biotin and been super gentle with my hair and it has still thinned. ...
I will take you all, in my thoughts, to Ireland.:) I know what it means to wait for "a dream come true" for a very long time...I'm one week away from being 68, married to my sweet husband for just 3...
That's what I'm gonna do. It looks to be the best course. Thanks for your proactive suggestion, Roberta.
I'm going to Ireland in October (woo-hoo!!!) I still drink 1-2 Protein shakes a day to keep my protein count up (5 months out). My nut recommends only shakes with pure protein isolate - whey, egg...
Didn't even think about Bison...I'll have to look for it here in Michigan. May be harder to find than out in the "wild" west :-) Thanks, ColoradoLB
I wasn't warned about beef and about 3 month's out, I ate a small piece of rare prime rib off my husband's birthday dinner plate. OMG!!!! I suffered horrible gas pain and bathroom issues for 2...
