Liberated Sleeve

3 years later when you are cleaning out your closet again and you find that one pair of pants you kept to always remind you of your accomplishments! So you step into them and pull them up and let them fall off!! LOL - just because you can! keep it up everyone - staying the course works!!

great job!

Great job!!

I don't like to do math unless absolutely necessary, but as you can see from my stats - alot more than 60% - Congrats on your surgery date!!

Congrats!!

Amen!! Congrats! I am one year out this month also!

I was on 3 meds for my diabetes. Insulin 130 units, Victoza and Metformin 1000mg x2 a day. I took no meds after I left the hospital for my diabetes. Sugars running around 110 fasting. Less than 60 days out of surgery my diabetic A1C was down to 5.7%. It was 6.7% before surgery with the 3 meds. Today 10 months out at 5.5% Sugars run anywhere from 78 - 92. A bonus: my high blood pressure is back into the normal ranges. I was on 2 meds before surgery. No meds since surgery for that one either. Good luck and God bless you!

I didn't start any protein shakes until Week 2. Maybe your stomach is just still too raw from surgery to handle it. All I drank was bullion, water, Fuze, etc for Week 1. Ate sugar free popsicles. But, I agree with everyone else, call your nutritionist or surgeon to find suggestions.

I take multivitamin Bariatric Fusion Chewable - 3 a day - tinniest amount of hair loss - heck I lost more hair when I was taking Naproxen daily.

Alot of people would be in heaven to lose 2lbs a week! Just learn how your body is going to lose it and embrace it! You didn't gain it all in one night or week or year so just do what you are suppose to do, eat right and listen to your surgeon!! Look at your TICKER!

9 1/2 months out. I had a little bit of everything, After 9 /2 months of learning how to eat again it was fabulous to not even want to over indulge. I love my "Tiny Tum"!

I take the Bariatric Fusion ones and love them. They are chewable. I am going to check out the Flintstones and see if they have the same percentages and maybe I will try them.

My stalls last around 2-3 weeks - gotten to where I don't really consider them stalls, just the way my body is losing and readjusting. Gone from size 24 to size 14 in 5/12 months 61 pounds since surgery. For some that's slow losing but for me - just right! I do exercise - I make sure I walk at least 15 mins minimum everyday. Usually do alot more but that is the least I will do. 8-10 glasses of Water and 80-120 grams of Protein. Just figure out your body and how it loses and make adjustments until you feel great!
