    popcorn.

    I order it 6 at a time so I do not have to order so often and it saves on shipping, me and hubby take a TBSP every morning, he has arthritis and swears he can tell a HUGE difference. Best of luck to u
  2. ForwardThinner, You will be amazed a year from now when you look back at the weight you will lose, but get ready, because you will also GAIN, and then you will STALL, it is all just part of the roller coaster ride, Follow Dr orders, and you will do fine. Best of luck to you and holler if we can help.
  3. Please send PM if I can help, remember, your body has been thru a tremendous shock if you have already done the surgery, IT NEEDS TIME TO HEAL. Let me know if I can help you......as I used to be where you are now!
  4. The random PAINS WILL Disappear. It takes your BODY time to HEAL
  5. Please just try to get in your protein, Even if it is just your Protein drinks. DO NOT try protein SHOTS.. to me they tasted like PUKE anyway, I bought a case, and they are still in refrig after 2 years in garage,,, Slow down and get in all the water and liquid protein that you can.....

    up to me on staying on track and keeping focused . Welcome to "LIFE", THINGS are going to HAPPEN. It is up to us to control what goes into our mouths. You will stay focused that is the only way you are going to succeed.. Best of luck to you, Holler if I can help.
  8. Walking is about the only thing you can and should do right after surgery. Give your body time to heal. You may think you are doing fine, but it was a major surgery, My Dr said no exercise except walking for 6 weeks. Also dont worry about gaining after your surgery, you are going to be on a roller coaster you will lose, you will gain, you will stay the same for weeks and months at a time. Be patient, drink your fluids, and yes it will be a struggle, do the best you can do. congrats to the newbies... holler if I can help. And I would like to thank the ones that said I have helped them, that is what I am here for.

    it is NORMAL to be nervous. I know you did quite well~Ü
  10. Congrats to all the newbies, and I would first all like to apologize to anyone I have offended. I did not mean it to come across that way. I type in caps to emphasis, not yell, I know how important this surgery is to all. I was a stroke victim waiting to happen, my PCP even told me that I was being Pro active by having this surgery. I had the surgery 4 months after my mom passed away from you guessed it .... strokes. .... I wish you all the best and success....

  13. Weight Loss surgery is NOT A MAGIC PILL. You will HAVE to follow the rules, you will not lose 25 lbs a week, you will GAIN and you WILL LOSE, but you have to give your body TIME to HEAL....

Holler if I can help you!!!!! DO NOT COME BACK IN 2 4 5 12 weeks and say YOU are GAINING, THERE IS NO WAY.... you are gaining...... you are not drinking your water.......

Hope you got some MOM before surgery, if not send someone for it.....MOM is milk of mag. you WILL need it after about 2.5 weeks I PROMISE YOU! Been there, SUFFERED THAT!
  15. Please, if you just had surgery... STAY OFF THE SCALE... you did not gain 100 - 150 lbs in 3 hours, you are NOT going to lose it in 3 hours just because you had a major surgery, your body has just gone thru a MAJOR JOLT... your body is going to SWELL, making you GAIN weight........ it is going to take you almost 3 weeks to start FEELING OK...NOT GOOD, but OK.. Give your body time to HEAL, ADJUST. Try to get in as much water and protein as you can... do NOT ask can I have this, knowing when you went into surgery you will NOT be able to have it... follow your Dr orders or someone that has BEEN WHERE you ARE... YOU will NOT be HUNGRY.. it is head hunger. so do not come here and say I AM HUNGRY.. you are not.... get serious as to why you did this surgery and you will succeed!!! Best of luck to all of you. I linger between 125-129 and I do NOT freak out that OMG I gained 4 pounds, get used to it NOW

    Premiere protein shakes!

    I have used the Premier shakes from Sam's since my surgery, I bought 2 cases before I had the surgery and still use them to this day, I drink ONE per day, 1 for the protein, 2 for the vitamins, yes I also take 2 Centrum chewable daily. but I love the taste of the Chocolate ones, I have NEVER tried any other flavor...I have also recommended these to others as to me they taste the best! best of luck to all you "newbies" If I can help just give a shout~ Ü
  17. Keep in mind YOU did this for YOURSELF.......... Follow the directions and you will do GREAT!!! ROCK THAT SLEEVE!!!!!!

    Best and worst "compliments"

    Best and worst is, you need to stop losing weight... my answer is " when you met me you are just used to seeing me FAT! Had you met me at this weight you would not mention my weight!........ I am HEALTHY, leave me alone!!!!!
  19. PLEASE, I pray all of you have MOM.... MILK of Magnesium in your pantry, IF NOT SEND FOR IT ASAP.! after about 3 days after surgery you will need to "evacuate" the premises" MOM is the fastest and best way!!!!.. Take a tablespoon........ if that does not get the "movement" going, take another TBSP... remember MOM is your FRIEND........ Stay close to the bathroom as she will make you RUN, .. BUT you will be so relieved and HAPPY that you took it...............I did not KNOW this PRE my surgery...... and OMG............ I know what $hitting a brick feels like......... I even gave myself enemas...... it was SO PAINFUL......... they did NOT HELP................ MOM LOVES YOU...........and will make it all RUN smoo0ooothhhhhly......... just stay close to the bathroom. UNTIL u feel good enough to go a FEW days..... take MOM......... you have to keep the stuff moving OUT....... SMOOTHLY for u to FEEL GOOD Best of luck to all you "newbies" Follow the directions the DR gave u, or ASK a SR Sleever!!!!! Lots of Dr's from Mexico DO NOT GIVE DIRECTIONS!!!!! us OLDER SLEEVERS are HERE TO HELP.. Drink your water.......NO ALCOHOL for MONTHS.............. You just had a life changing surgery!! YOU HAVE TO FOLLOW THE RULES~~ IF U WANT TO SUCCEED!!!! Bottom Line.........IT IS UP TO U..; DO NOT LOSE 50 LBS and THINK U can CHEAT......... YOU WILL FAIL >>>>> BIG TIME>>>>>>>>>>>> BBBBBIIIIGGGG TIIIIMMMMMMMMMMMMEEEEEEEEEEEEEE Do NOT come back in 18 Months and say I had the sleeve and I have GAINED 50 LBS YOU WILL FAIL and YOU were not sincere when you had the surgery....

    Well Poo :(

    One EARLY morning when you do not have to go anywhere, DRINK a FULL cap of Milk of Magnesium......... Within a few hours you will be running. About the third week after my surgery, I really thought OMG........ I did the self Enemas, three at a time............ no relief just more suffering. Drink MOM,,,,, a full cap-full at a time........ if the first does not work, drink another half........but STAY close to HOME and the bathroom, as you will be RUNNING in more ways than one, but it WILL give you RELIEF!!!!!

    Where are the 50s ???

    I will be 57 in May, did my surgery in 2011, best thing I ever did. Best of luck to all of you, please let me know if I can help you!
  24. I was a Sept Sleever., Just stopped by to wish you all the best!... IF YOU do what the Dr tells you to do and drink your water.... YOU WILL succeed. If you lose 50 lbs like I have seen so many do, and then start eating Oreos, and chips instead of your protein and veggies............. you will fail. My wish is that everyone that is fixing to have this surgery done is that you follow the directions and do not get slack after a few months, thinking I can do this... YOU WILL FAIL. This is not a miracle. You do have to follow directions and rules. Do not ask after a month, why am I not losing, Can I drink alcohol.......... SLAP!!! SLAP!!!....... you will not lose every DAY, or WEEK. you will STALL, for what seems to you months. You WILL lose some hair..... to you it will seem like you are going bald, you are not. If you get in your protein and take your vitamins, this will help you. NO you cannot have this surgery and in 8 weeks go out and drink like you used to. If I can help any of you please let me know. I have gone from pushing out of 18W to a 8P. I have talked to people that knew me BEFORE surgery that did not know I had it and they do not even know who I am, and I am talking people that I was close to. This is a lifestyle. eating change....... You are doing the surgery to SAVE your life or make it better, please do not slack off after you have lost a few pounds, and there will be some of you that will do this. I am here to help, please let me know if I can help you. Drink that water and have a Blessed day!

    Hair Loss - Holy Moly!

    you are going thru the NORMAL stages. Just remember what falls out,, will come back... just be patient, and remember that you notice the hair loss where others will not. Don't fret about it. I was reading the other day somewhere where you can now buy hair Fiber to put in your hair, it is really fibers that stick to your hair and make it look fuller, I have not researched it. Scottsgirl, I have drank premier Protein from day one, Yes I still lost hair, but it has all grown back and if I could I would give anyone half of mine I have very thick hair. I do think it helps because of the nutrients and protein. I recommend it over any other out there, just because I also like the taste of it. Best of luck to all of you!
