I put that particular member on "ignore" long ago and am much happier for it as are MANY people on here. There is a habit there of offending people....but it is never his fault, just other people...

Thank you for sharing the pictures! I am a realself follower as well and am planning long term ;)

Awww, that was sweet :) Thank you!

My 13 year old son has had procedures that require anesthesia every six months since he was 2 and 1/2. He has never had a problem (knock wood and fingers crossed it continues!).

I would urge caution about relying on shakes or any liquid protein for any longer than you absolutely have to. I was "getting" about 100 g a day and my hair did not stop falling out until I started...

I had my gallbladder taken out at the same time because I had trouble for YEARS and an ultrasound showed stones. I am almost as happy about having a pain free life as I am about the sleeve! There is...

I had intense leg pain from too little potassium. I started putting 1/2 a banana in my protein shake and it took care of it. Good luck!!

If your thyroid is not performing appropriately it can take you longer to heal from surgery, not to mention cause a myriad of other issues (such as NOT losing weight after surgery!). Thyroid...

My thoughts are that what you describe as your drinking would be very concerning to me if someone I cared about was doing it, especially someone who is sleeved. Would I write a private message to...

No changes here. I had been told the same thing.

Sleeve Gastrectomy Failure: Just When We Thought We Had the Perfect Operation | Bariatric Times It is not all black and white.

The original poster said "I know this is the answer for me. Would just like to hear from anyone out there who has had a sleeve revision. " Now read back over the thread. Are we all a bunch of...

OK then, don't be shocked/amazed/crushed when someone voices a negative opinion. If you put your very personal life details out there, you open yourself up to it. Should people not say things like...

Why not just keep your personal details personal? If someone asks you how much you lost, say that is not a question that you find appropriate.

So.....you didn't think it was important enough to share (at that time) what you thought were dangerous conditions and potentially save lives.....but you do feel it important enough to wax ecstatic...

I drink caffeinated beverages with no problems at all. :D

No firsthand knowledge here...but I did find this .... Plexus Slim Reviews - Betty Rips The "Pink Drink" Apart!

IMO At some point we need to ask ourselves WHY we need the comments of others in order for us to do the right thing and maintain our own health.

Actually, it is even worse than just the limit to how much you absorb but additionally how long it stays in your system to ACTUALLY absorb. I was going to do a whole post on this. FOR ME shakes are...

You said yourself (in another post) that you had complications. Therefore, your requirements may well be different than others. I would listen to your doctors because of that alone. I have not had...

Why do you want to see a NUT? More important than that (IMO) I would get your doctor to run the standard blood tests after VSG to see where you stand there and then adjust accordingly.

I thought you were looking for your sister who you felt would not be successful. Confused.

Yes, exactly. I cannot even imagine how I would have felt if a family member had been questioning my commitment etc. Time for you to concentrate on you and just be a SUPPORTER in her journey.

That is a good point EXCEPT I only went a little over ONE WEEK not getting 60-80 g of protein per day. I was on target every single day after that. I still had massive hair loss AND I have been...
