Hello, try this website they specialize in WLS supplements. Take Care http://www.celebratevitamins.com/

You look great, I'm glad they caught your blood disorder early Take Care

Actually my thyroid was removed two years before my sleeve. My pcp has been monitoring my thyroid levels since surgery and managing my syntroid dosage every month. My advice to you is to go to your doctor and discuss ways to trick your thyroid into doing what you need it to do regarding your weight loss. My weight loss has been slow but study only problem is seeing my doctor every month the co pays are killing me. I hope this helps, take care

CONGRATS! Goal in only 9 months your my hero, go buy yourself something great. Take Care

This is great now can go shopping and have fun trying on clothes you would have never looked at before. I have found great deals at Jcpenney 5 dollar shirts 7 dollar pants and a dress for 9 dollars. And today I borrowed a skirt from my daughter who wears a size 2 the skirt was to big for her and I was going to take it in now I think I will wear it for a little while...lol Have fun shopping

After my surgery I became lactose intolerant and I love milk I tried many different brands and I just found Real Goodness it has 11g of Protein and it taste great. I've also feel in love with Muscle Milk which is lactose free and 22g of protein. Now I can get in my protein each day and drink a glass of milk again which counts as a Fluid. I drink the Real Goodness fat free and the regular muscle milk which is my snack some days. Just wanted to post just in case other sleevers are looking for lactose free milk products. Take Care

Congrats, welcome to the journey

Congrats to you both, great story thanks for sharing

{{BIG HUGS}} Chin up, you will get a new date.

Hello, I understand your afraid but the sleeve has been the best decision in my life. Like you I had many many many surgeries prior to deciding to have WLS so my thought was I made it through those other surgeries one more will be the solution I've been looking for and it was. Everytime I went into the hospital I thought about my daughter and who would take care of her, but I had to push out those fears and think of how heathy I would be and the quality of life at a heathy weight. It's normal to be afraid it's human, may I suggest speaking with your doctor and possibly a counselor to help with decision to have the sleeve. Hope this helps, take care

Tiff, just wanted to say congrats to you and your expected new arrival. Take Care

I did not have a weight goal in the beginning I just wanted to be a size 10, now that I'm wearing a size 10 at 175lbs I've scheduled an appt. with my doctor so we can discuss a goal weight I'm thinking 165 would work for me I'm 5'4" I can not imagine being any smaller. I don't focus on the BMI chart, personally I don't think that chart takes into account the different body types that are out there any ways. Take Care

Hey Dave, congrats on the 53lbs. What helped me was I would add decaf. coffee to my Protein shakes it changed the flavor and helped with the queasy. Your tastes buds usually change after surgery, so maybe try a different brand I loved the

CONGRATS on achieving your mini goal, my DL have said 150 lbs since I received them at 16 yrs old ( the last time I was 150 lbs) so congrats again and as far as the boobs take a pic then say good bye.....lol

WOW! You look outstanding, keep up the good work

I think that was very cruel, they may not know what your going through but where's the empathy. How would she like it if you made her favorite meal and she had her chews wired shut (just an example) I'm sorry the the yogurt upset your new tummy like Tiff said probably to soon. Take Care

Thank you everyone for the Congrats and I hope my post encouraged others. Take Care!

I hope my attached pictures can be viewed, It's been 5 months since I was sleeved and I've lost 59 lbs feeling great. After looking at my picture it hit me I've lost 59 lbs WOW I can work out for an hour without slowing down or hiding behind someone so I can take a breather....lol I'm so happy that this weight will not comeback as long as I stay on track. I love how I look and feel and I'm so very happy that I had WLS.

You go girl...great job

Outstanding....Congrats on being Obese....lol 3 lbs to 100 I can't wait to get there.

Hello, Yes I did stop drinking diet dr. pepper and my starbucks expresso it took me six months but before my surgery I had stopped. I started increasing my Water intake due to drinking so much water I could not fit in my daily soda and I changed my coffee to decaf. tea. I'm glad I did it because I had the worst headaches but then my body finally accepted the changes. Now 4 months post op I don't really miss my daily diet dr. pepper or my starbucks. But again this was over a six month time frame maybe having a diet dr. pepper on Saturday and Sunday then just Saturday to non at all. Hope this helps

WOW Congrats! Keep up the good work great achievement

Thank you everyone for your comments, I understand that on the bmi chart I'm still obese but for my body type 150 is to small trust me I know that's the size I was when I married my husband. Looking at my wedding pics I was so small I like the way I look at 180 I'm running again and keeping up with my daughter. My reason for getting the sleeve was to stop all the meds. and cure my sleep apnea. I have an appointment with my doctor next week I will talk to her about my goal weight. I love this site everyone is so helpful

I"m 5'4 and I have been taken in more carbs about 70 grams a day.

Here's my story, I've lost 76 lbs this includes weightloss prior to my surgery. Now that I've reached 180 lbs I'm wearing a size 10 which I'm sure this is due to vanity sizing but I don't care I love telling friends I wear a size 10. Since surgery I have not stalled in my weightloss and I was ready to stop lossing weight when I was 185 lbs but I get up this morning and I'm 5lbs lighter. Does anyone know how I can stop lossing? So I can start maintaining my current weight. I welcome any advice anyone can offer. Thanks
