Well if I could get there that's where I would go but California is a bit far and my private jet is in the shop.

I'm looking for a support group in manhattan.

I add crystal light and a touch of juice (for me...preferably grape juice) to my isopure. Gets rid of the soapy taste brilliantly!

I am a sleever. I have used HCG and lost 14 lbs. in 23 days. My Sis lost 17 in 23. Most people lose 1-2 pounds per day. The diet is based on a manuscript written by Dr. Simeon many years ago. It does work but you have to be very strict about following the program and also food combinations. I have to admit that I did cheat while on the program and that is why my weight loss was low but one of the best things about it is you don't feel hungry. Feel free to PM me if you want more info.

That's an amazing accomplishment! You should be very proud!!!

I like the alpine punch and apple melon Isopure.

Congratulations!! Thanks for sharing your progress!!

I have read that some sleevers have been able to lose 100 lbs. in four months. And I want to be one of them!! Who's with me? I'm newly sleeved (March 28, 2011) and if anyone out there has done this please share your success with the rest of it! I hear that the first two months are crucial and also when you lose the most weight! So please weigh in and help me and other like me who want to reach 100 in 4!!!! Thank you!!!!

I'm also three days post op and like you also miserable. I haven't come close to my daily Protein or liquid totals but what I have been doing is sipping, sipping, sipping at Water and my Isopure whenever I think about it even during the night. You don't want dehydration at this early stage. Just keep it simple for now. And my doctor cautioned against using straws as this adds air to your stomach with each sip. Good luck!

Congratulations Mrskoubik!!!! That's awesome! What is your eating and exercise program?

Thank you Autum Lily for your thoughtful response. Rootman thanks for sharing your experience! That is exactly what I was looking for. It doesn't mean I'll follow your program but its good to know. We are all in the same boat of figuring out what work for us. I'll figure out what 50% of my excess body weight is and go from there. And thanks to everyone for your input!

I have seen women who have also acheived this goal. Of course I got the sleeve to improve my health and would only follow a healthy course of action!

I am not advocating nor recommending starvation. I wanted to hear from those individuals who have done this as I have read on this and other forums. I'm interested to know their eating and workout habits!

I'm totoally with you. I want to lose 100 lbs in 4 months. Was just sleeved two days ago. Others have done it. Why can't I. I just need to find out how they did it. Anyone?

I keep reading that some sleevers have been able to lose 100 lbs. in four months. But how? What diet and exercise program are you on? Please share!!! I'm newly sleeved and want to reach 100 pounds lost in 4 months!! Thank you

March 28 Dr. Kim, Los Angeles

Hi everyone, I'm scheduled for March 28th!!! Can't wait!!!

I'm scheduled for march 28. I am so excited i can't stand it. I had to run out today to get Isopure and liquid vitamins! Where's my checklist?

I'm sorry to hear that both of you are having slow weight loss. Have you contacted your surgeons?

How did you do it?

How did you do it?

I'm so impressed with your weight loss!!! I want to do the same. Can you tell me how many calories were you consuming per day to lose 100 pounds in 4 months?

Please post your experience with Kaiser West LA. I've seen post all over the map regarding this facility and the care at this facility. Please share your experience with your surgeon, nurses, pre surgery prep, post surgery weight loss or WHATEVER you want to share! Thank you !!

Anyone else out there scheduled for Kaiser West LA? I wanted to go with Lancaster as well and was told the wait time was very long by Wenda. Anyone scheduled with Dr. Yadegar in Lancaster in 2011? My consult is with Dr. Benjamin Kim. Any Dr. Kim patients out there?
