Onederland! Flavored Chunk White Chicken!

Hello fellow sleevers and sleevers to be!   I am officially in one - derland weighing in at 196. This is a very happy day for me and I am proud of my efforts. Next week will mark my six week milestone and I can begin exercising. I've starting doing a little exercising already but I am ready to hit the gym and buy a bike to ride through the neighborhood.   I have not been under 200 pounds in years. My blood pressure has been normal and I feel like a million bucks. In early December, I

Death And Cornbread Dressing....

Hello Sleever Family!   Today I attended my paternal grandmothers funeral in Arkansas. While this was a sad occassion, you must know that my granny was 77 years old - married to my Papa for 60 years - had 6 boys and 1 girl - and 74 grand, great grand and great great grand children! Needless to say, most of the church was filled with family. We had a grand celebration of her life!   During the 4.5 hour drive, I sipped on juice, water, and protein shakes. And since I was sleeved a litt

Unflavored Protein Powder.....

Now friends, I am an intelligent woman with a great job and education.....I'm saying this for a reason.   I was reading some posts and thinking how am I going to manage pureed food AND get the liquid and protein in that I need daily. It is amazing how we now think of food wisely instead of carelessly did prior to being sleeved.   Back to my being intelligent.....I read a post that talked about UNFLAVORED PROTEIN powder and how this fellow sleever put it into his/her soups and other items to

Energy And Moving....

Today is the day the Lord has made. Let us rejoice and be glad in it!!!!   Hello all....as stated in my previous entries - I am still not smoking and very proud of myself! For the past two days I have had a lot of energy. Yesterday I went to my first post op appointment and previous to that I went to get my hair done. I was so busy moving around all day that I did not drink as much as I should have. The doctor checked my tongue and was able to tell....he said that the whiter it is ...the

Smoking.....

Hello all, I am back with another thought. I was sleeved on 10/26 and I just realized that I have not had a cigarette for a full week. My doctor only required a week of no nicotine and a week of liquids - but as some of you know, this was cut short for me since my surgery was moved from 10/30 to 10/26. I saw a pack in my purse and thought about lighting it up just to smell it but I grabbed my respirator thingy instead and did my deep breathing exercises.   It's getting easier to drink my

Moved On Up....

Until recently, I thought that WLS was for the unmotivated or lazy. The more I researched I found that surgery is just like buying diet aids and spanx. It is a tool to help overweight people to reach their goal of good health.   I research both the lap band and the sleeve and concluded that the sleeve was the right procedure for me. On October 1, I went to Dr. Jayaseelen for a consultation. His staff was nice and he was there to discuss the procedure during that initial visit. They veri
