Don't have a man Maybe after I drop the 90 lbs, I'll attract one! :wub:

This is great! I bought underwear two sizes smaller thinking that I would need them first before any of my clothes! A "mini goal" outfit is a great idea! I think I will shop this weekend for one. I'll leave it on the hanger and dangle it like a carrot! Thanks for the idea! Come on June..........................

June is finally almost here!!! Alright June 1 sleeve candidates -- start us off right! All the best...........

I've stopped telling people! This is about me; this is for me and my health. I have a co-worker that said she'll never go out to lunch w me again cuz she didnt want to feel bad. I find that alot pf ppl are negative cuz they are jealous. They dont have the spine to do what we're doing. Just my opinion; I could be wrong..... :-)

Here's a site that explains it well: http://myaceinhand.blogspot.com/2012/01/bougie-size.html

BeanieandRosie'smom, - yes, the higher the number of bougie, the larger it is. My doctor pulled out a number of pens, markers and highlighters and showed me the difference in size using them. It's really not that much!

A Google search revealed this. I think it depends on your activity level and the food you normally eat. Talk to your NUT about the activity level you are currently maintaining and whether casein supplementation makes sense for you.
I choose to supplement with whey knowing that I will be getting casein from natural sources, so I do not supplement casein, but your needs may be different.

Well I finally picked up my Cuisinart Ice Cream maker and gave it a shot. Couldn't believe how easy it was! Made mint chocolate chip (using sugar free Andes mints chopped up). This ice cream was great and I felt full because it has Protein Powder in it. I was just doing a trial run before I get sleeved! LOL

From what I have learned on this forum over the last 7-8 months, the sleeve will teach you to eat properly. I'm a foodie so I completely understand. I also understand that although the sleeve has been around a while, it is catching on as the most popular weight loss surgery. By the way, your surgeon may have a certain bougie size that he/she normally uses. From what I understand, the sizes are 32-40. My surgeon uses a 34.

So glad I can finally have something close to real food again!! Goodbye liquids, heeellloooo Mushy!!!! I'm just a little excited. haha.

Welcome and good luck!! Keep us posted.

I know, right? I feel like im part of a sorority/fraternity!! I just hope i find you all on here to follow your progress. It gets confusing sometimes with all the posts!
