I tried to figure it out as well. The only thing that I found online was that after making the yogurt you were to let it strain in a cheese cloth to concentrate it. Not sure if it works or how it would increase the protein content. I gave up and just bought the commercial greek yogurts. Hope you find what you are looking for. I enjoyed home made yogurt but wanted the increased protein of greek.

None scale victory Like fitting in an airplane seat. Oh I love how that feels now

I never had a hot tingly feeling. You might want to contact your doctor and let them know. He/She will be a better judge of the symptoms. Congratulations on your surgery

There are several places across Canada. Yes they are very expensive in comparison to Mexico. There are ones in Vancouver and Toronto. I would suggest to do some research and find what is comfortable for you. I found after all my research that going to Mexico worked for me.

Thank you everyone! I could not believe that I was at a year out. Life seems like it has always been this way. I truly love my sleeve. :wub:

It was one year ago that I was in Mexicali Mexico sitting in my hotel room the night before I was to go to the hospital for my surgery. I can not believe that one year has passed and I have gone from a weight of well over 300 lbs to almost being out of the 200's. I am greatful that I found the courage and money to have this proceedure done. I am living the life I have always dreamed of. I am not stared at with disgusted looks and shame. I am now getting hit on by younger men!!! My life has changed for the better and I will be at goal in the near future. I have lost almost 150 lbs and my knees, back, hips and feet thank me everyday. For those who are just starting your journey it is a journey of ups and downs but in the end it will be worth it. I love love love my sleeve. :wub:

Today is my first day at my new gym. They are going to fit test me and then design a program to help me tone and tighten up. This should help me kick start my losing again as I have been stuck in the 210's for awhile now. I will update my progress.

Well I like this thread. I am in to lose and get to goal in 2012. My loss has become very slow these past couple of months. I think back to basics is what I need.

Ugg I get sick and tired of the negative nellies out there that can not believe in this surgery. If you do not believe then go away and take your negativity with you. People like me and Andersonlj believe in the sleeve because we ACTUALLY had the damn surgery. People either take the leap of faith or go away.

Welcome to the group Vance You are at the beginning of your journey. This forum is full of wonderful knowledge that will help you along the way. Keep on posting your success's and dificulties. Congrats on taking a large step to getting back to a healthier you.

I still have a little ways to go and I am just over 10 months out. I have however lost a significant amount of weight as you can see by my ticker. I think it is possible depending on how much weight you have to lose in the first place.

You are not going to work so it is not business. I think all other things fall under pleasure even if it is surgery. I stayed a couple of days before in San Diego so I was telling the truth that it was pleasure.

You can message me anytime with your questions. I will answer them to my best ability.

FYI PPI stands for proton pump inhibitor. Looks like supermom covered it all.
