Sounds like a second opinion is in order. Insurance isnt covering any of this?

Thank you everyone.

I live in Midwood Brooklyn and Im looking for someone nearby to go walking in my neighborhood. Let me know.

I had my surgery on the 30th.

Like someone said, once a week is good enough. Yes muscle weighs more than fat. I'd measure my chest, waist, and hips. Some people measure the neck, thigh, calf, upper arm, and wrist.

Im from Brooklyn. Theres an entire NY thread and group but I noticed alot are from the BX.

do you guys include pre-op weightloss as well?

I know I can throw just about anything in a magic bullet but want some specific foods that go well together. I don't eat beef, pork, or shellfish. thanks in advance.

When I popped my head in months ago, there was maybe one July sleever, now there are plenty. It's exciting anywho, how much have you lost so far? Include your date. If you like you can add me to my sleeve facebook page in my signature. Don't forget to pm me with your VST name. July 30 was my surgery, and I'm ten pounds down.

Anyone selling for a good price any new and unused nectar protein in the cappuchino and double stuffed cookie flavors in a tub or sample pack?

I'd like to join the facebook group. What is the process? My fb is in my signature.

i think the posters that did mention people liking them for physical reasons might know the difference between if they were naturally outgoing etc, or more reserved. Some people don't have respect for larger people, and it has been proven. on the other hand, some people do open up when the lose weight and people are attracted to positive energy regardless of a persons size. their worries are just. only one real way to find out.

i realized that at the end of the day, the ''true'' people really show themselves eventually. if they are not really paying attention to you now, then all of a sudden they are, and your personality hasnt changed chances are its because of your physical changes.

Thanks likasulema

MY CAPS WONT TURN OFF, SO BARE WITH ME. I KNOW THE STAGES VARY BUT I WANTED TO KNOW A FEW THINGS. HOW MANY OF YOU STARTED SOFT OR REGULAR FOODS IN LESS THAN TWO WEEKS? I NOTICED ONE PERSON ON HERE THAT ATE SOFTS STRAIGHT FROM THE HOSPITAL. DID IT AFFECT YOUR SLEEVE OR CAUSE ISSUES IN THE FUTURE, ASSUMING YOU ARE PAST THE HEALING STAGE.

I'm on a comp.

Is there a way to edit the original post?

I use to do this pre-op, and still do this but haven't in awhile. What I want to see is a picture of your portion size, whether its breakfast lunch or dinner. It may help others to visualize what amount of food they may be able to eat in the future. I'm asking for post ops at least a year out. So please include how far you are post op, and if you do weigh your meal include it. Thanks.

A lot of cuss words in that message.. hehe jk

Crap I meant to ask how much are you eating, and not what. Like how many ounces of each and in total daily.

What are you "eating" and drinking. I haven't started to record what I've been eating or drinking yet, but mainly soups, shakes and teas, jello in that order. I am still uncomforably gassy so Im dealing with that. I think I will start keeping track today/tomorrow. I can get my liquids down pretty well.

Ok thanks all. I wanted one a long time ago. I have an analog one but it is a two piece setup. Digital is soo much easier. Who knows though. If I can find I might use.

Is it worth it? I currently have measuring cups but I can figure out portions sizes just by guesstimating. Anyone have one and use theres? Which brand and is it worth buying?

Ok I will try the saltines. I don't eat beef so no has for me. I eat the soy ground beef. Real yummy.

It's getting closer for me. Surgery is Monday.
