New to the group. I was sleeved on May 21st, 2012 by Dr. Jon Schram out of Holland. AMAZING man and AMAZING staff!

As we all lose weight, yes, loose skin is a reality. However, you have to work at toning up. It will take time, but working out is a definite requirement...for everyone! If you don't want to go to a gym, there are many awesome video workouts out there. Any workout videos by Jillian Michaels are AWESOME! Kettlebell and medicine ball worksouts are highly effective. Yoga (which I think is the hardest workout ever) is also so very effective in building strength and toning. Stick with your workouts and gift yourself toned body. We all need to be doing weight bearing exercise to strengthen bone, build muscle, balance, and a clearer mind. It definitely doesn't happen over night. It is an ongoing process. JUST DO IT!

How much Protein is in the nectar? I've heard good things about the Premier. Looks like I will be making a trip to Sam's tomorrow.

For the first 2 weeks post op every time I tried to get ready this happened I profusely sweated. I think part of it was dehydration because not much made my hr go to the 140s also your hormones are going crazy right now so that has a lot to do with it too

uh..relax..it was a joke. I drink 64 oz a day.

I totally understand. I have followed every single rule that they have set for me. Getting sleeved should not mean the end of all the things that made us happy. I can deal without the grease and junk food. I get that it will get me nowhere, but caffeine, COME ON doc!!! I'm not going to OD on it when the only time I consume it is through coffee. Funny story (speaking of condescending)....I asked my NUT when I could start having the occassional glass of wine. She literally looked down her nose at me and said, "We will talk about that at your next appointment, but you must remember that alcohol is nothing but empty calories." I wanted to look at her and say, "well so is Water, but you sure want me guzzling 64 oz of that crap a day!" Besides, I don't think there was ever a time in my life where I drank a beer because of how HEALTHY it was. DUH!!

My NUT told me that I could have caffeine free coffee before and after surgery. I am 9 weeks out and she now says that I can have my caffeine back in my coffee only. I asked her what the big deal is, and she said that the caffeine is basically dehydrating (sorry..can't remember her fancy medical term) and I will need to increase my Water by one cup if I drink regular coffee. Oh darn. I'm more than willing to drink an extra glass of water for that coffee in the morning. lol.

I think she needs to make up her mind if your meeting your calorie requirement and doing it with small frequent meals and losing who,to,say she right if your comfortable and doc is ok I think your doing great
