      Thank you @proudgrammy! It's funny - I had forgotten it was on Dec 11th! I know your 6th is right around now too - is it the 15th?

  2. I've been accused of a lot of things in my life, but never before today have I been accused of using a generic internet model as my picture.

  3. I've been looking at the Before & After photos and one thing is clear...women, our bodies do not spring to life like the men I see on here....we need an extra umph to get and keep our fat burning factories going. And to re-shape the body being revealed beneath our layers of "padding." So instead of sitting here on my computer, I'm going to go work out. And that oughta feel pretty darn good!

      I am not sure I agree with that. This forum is full of beautiful people of both genders.

  5. Anybody out there know how much protein is too much protein?

      I think it's a question for your NUT or surgeon, but due to my high muscle mass, and I want to build more, I am in the 80-100 range.

      Is this your preop diet? Post sleeve no way will you be eating 1/2 cup of anything at the beginning...

      If you google it there are detailed, free explanations. On this site, there is more than one thread that details it out - a search should bring them up. It really helped me!

  12. I am so afriad to post on the forums. I left every vsg Facebook group because the bullying and self rightousness was over the top.

      Well, I think we all get support in different ways. I didn't post for a long time too... and I think in all honesty, i was a bit over the top "sensitive". If you find it hurtful to share here, then I agree that you need to do what works for you! I have found it very inspiring and educational to learn from others triumphs AND struggles. We are all in this together!

  14. I liked your response to a thread of mine which unintentionally turned into somewhat of a controversy. I guess I need a little more experience with the forum game. Thanks for jumping in and shedding some insight on what I overlooked.

      I know that you meant nothing negative and were actually trying to be helpful. I know people were also offended. I guess I have a similiar mindset as you... i mined this site for data.. browsing, searching..haha... and cannot for the life of me figure out why others don't do the same. Plastics surgery is a great example. I have posted incredible details on my surgeon, the experience, photos, links to get more info etc etc and I am constantly messaged asking me exactly the same stuff t...
