  1. @ Katie, I do not drink any Protein. I only eat solid Proteins, I've done this pretty consistently since 2nd month post op. for a while I was constantly fatigued, but within the last few months my energy level is thru the roof. My weight loss is about a pound a week if I'm lucky. I was at 1200 calories, but i stick to my low carb I can easily get it 800 calories and meet my Protein. I've noticed that I was snacking a lot, so I've been able to eliminate the snacking at work, I just gotta get a handle on the evening snacking.

    I've gone to far to go soft on myself now. It's just a matter of kicking up my activity. It's all about establishing healthy habits, and sticking to them. I like to tackle one thin at a time, so my focus for the next 2 weeks its all about kicking up my physical activity.


  2. So when can we officially consider our selves sleeve veterans? I am just about 10 months out. Anyhow about getting back on track, I'm with you there. I did notice when I add just the tiniest bit of carbs to Breakfast my day is downhill from there. I usually have 2 boiled egg whites and 2 small turkey sausage. Yes it's boring but it works and it keeps me on track.

    My downfall is exercise. I always use the excuse that I work full time and go to school. Never mind this semester I'm full time as far as school to. So I'm usually running around like a mad woman. However this semester I added an exercise class and I have to go 4 days a week and I will be graded on this class, so I hope this will help my transition back into the physical fitness routine.


  3. Speaking of plastic surgery. I was pretty positive and upbeat about my sleeve. The whole plastics thing, really scares me. I would love to get a thigh lift, but the thought of putting my body through all of that for cosmetic surgery freaks me out. I know the whole factor of the end results are worth it and all, maybe I just need time to wrap my mind around this. I will wait at least a whole year after I get to goal, maybe my skin will bounce back even if just a little bit.


  4. I am 9 months post op. I am on the pill and prior to surgery would only get my period may 1 out of thee months and they would be more like spotting than a period. Since the surgery my periods have came every month, but I am still on the pill. I am not tryin to get pregnant so going off the pill to check my cycle is not an option. I do notice that my facial Hair growth is greatly reduced. I would say that it's about 70% less. Also my skin has pretty much cleared up. I guess I would have to be retested via blood work when I go get my check up with my obgyn.


  5. Try getting a second opinion?? It really is not normal that you throw up that much. Just because your doctor doesn't find anything wrong doesn't mean there isn't anything wrong. Maybe you need a fresh set of eyes to check everything out for you. I would go to a university which has an established bariatric program. Good luck and please keep us posted.
