Awsome Job on 55 pounds in one month. and Congrats on the complimets you will prolly start ging your co workes whiplash with the double takes as you walk by!!!

I know it is easier said then done but if you come home and go for the convience food then dont buy the convience food keep only healthy food in the house. Also another option is to cook your meals on your day off and freeze them so all you have to do is come home and through into the microwave or oven and then your done. Also I know this had nothing to do with food but try taking a good vitamin. I used to take centrim for woman and I was still exosted after work I would come home and just crash. Now that I have started taking the bariatric advantage multi, calcium, iron, and b12 I have so much more energy. You may also want to try to reduce your carbs and up your protien carbs really do give you a boost of enery for a min then bring you crashing down even lower.... Good luck I'm sure you will make it through these last two months and just think of how good you will feel about your self after getting through it all!

congrats!!! I'm sure it will be a celebration not a regret!!!

I don't know anything about your taste changing but the bad taste/breath is prolly from ketosis

are you on an acid reducer it could be iritated because you are not giving it anything to break down and it keeps producing acid. this is just a guess though

Congrats on getting sleeved! I am sorry that you had so much nausea but am glad you had top notch drs and nursed helping you through. Great job on the 12 pound loss thats awsome!!! Good luck and keep working that sleeve but take it easy. Keep us updated on your journey :001_tt2:

Well then good job choosing the cheese instead of the cookies... that should make you feel good about your self being abel to pass up the cookies. Yay MINI-Me!!!

GOOD LUCK and just try to relax!

I think she meand a Leak but the "L" word but I am not really sure. As for the upset tummy and the back pain I'm sorry I dont have any advice as I am still pre op but I hope you feel better soon. Keep us updated

when I went to have my Uppre GI they checked for that, my dc said that was one of the main reason to have that done, the other was just to see how big my tummy was.

I think I have told almost all of my employees and co workers Just cuz I am so exited I am getting this done. Some had questions which I was happy to answer but not really any negative comments, actually In talking to my coworkers about it I found one who is going to be having he band done(I did try to talk him into the sleeve but I just dont think he wants to do the research oh weel to each his own) plus I have brought one other to the seminar who had decided on the sleeve and will be bringing one more soon (his daughter had the band so he wants to see how I do on the sleeve before he makes his decision) so all in all telling every one has been a good experience!

Super Congrats!!!!!! It must feel great to be at goal after all the hard work!

Iamsunshine, Yea!!! Good job we know you could find them, And I am sure there were crazier people in Walmart..... Lori, Each person is different as well as each dr is different. My Doc has me on b12, Calcium, Iron, and a multi but if you feel fine lots of energy then dont worry till you get your labs back, but of course it would not hurt you if you decided to start taking them.

Awsome Job Keep working that sleeve!!

I say you gather all your co workes and moon them all and just get it over with. you'll light the moon make every one includiong your self giggle. and then whats there to be afraid of!!! Well any way congrats on tomorrow and good luck! keep us updated as soon as your up to it.

I am still pre op but from doing some reading on here alot of people seem to like Bio oil for there scars.

Yes they are by the regular b12 but you could also order them online at places like bariatricadvantatge.com or pilgrimspride.com

your looking awsome!!! Keep up the great work!

you must be so excited your day is coming up fast!!! Plus you should be very pround of your self for not cheating thats excelent and that means you will work your sleeve to the max!!! Congrtas and good luck

Jane, please don't take this as me trying to be rude as I am not sure if you have spent any time in USA but here OZ are used both as a volume measure and a weight measure CC's are only used in medical terms. Like most things over here they like to give terms two meanings , I personaly think that it is just to confuse school children and adults across the country. NTV, If I am remembering what my NUT told me there are 7 grams of protien in 1 oz of chicken as for the other meats I do not know. Your best bet would be to use a program like mydailyplate.com or myfirnesspal.com that will take all the guess work out of it.

Nope sorry 2 oz weight in different then 2 oz volume. If it make sit easier dont think of your protien in oz think of it in granms. but there is 28 grams in 1 oz. Good Luck all

I take 5000 mg a day but I am still pre op so I am just trying to build it up in my system hopeing it will work

well kinda what fits in a half cup is 4 oz volume wise which is what should fit in your tummy but to count that protien grams you should then take that 4 oz volume and weight then multiply that weight with the amount of protien in the meat that you are eating. ex.. 1/2 cup chicken might weigh 2 oz 2 oz times 7 grams of protien == 14 grams of protien in that 1/2 cup of chicken I hope this makes sense cuz what makes sense in my head does not allwats make sence on paper or well in pc screen. goof luck

pumpkin you are the first person on here that I have found that had the SILS my dr also does that. I was just wondering do you think that you had less pain the the 5? how was your healing time? How long till you could lay on your stomach i am a tummy sleeper and this is a worry for me? sorry for all the questions but like I said you are the first one I have found. thanks

Try dymatized elite thay dont really have that mediciny protied taste and there is alos isopure RTD thay are okay and come in small bottles so you dont have to spend a ton on a tub. Also before you buy any more powders get samples before the tubs even if you have to pay for the samples it is still way cheaper.
