O.T.R. sleever

Looking at your budget & size restriction, I'd have to recomend a Ninja. You can get their smaller one for clost to that price, I have the full size commercial version and with the small carraf it isn't too big.

I got mine from my local health/herbal store. I dont think it made he gout go away any faster. I used it to get rid of any excess that might be left.

I was. But ymmv.

I have to say, you are very impressive. Almost a year out and still following a relatively strict diet. Unfortunately for you the thing that brought you this far is taking you farther than you anticipated. It pains me to say it, but if you want to stop losing your gonna have to boost your carb intake some. May I ash what your BMI is now? Or your ht/wt. I notice very few people hit the underweight category

I gotta ask, "what" are you eating? There is a really good possibility that you are eating a lot of low carb/ calorie foods. You gotta remember, there are two sides to this. Not only how much you eat, byt also what you eat.

My recommendations for Protein are 1.

Very good idea, this is what Dr. Alvarez from Endobariatric says about Lapband vs Sleeve. He is one of the most respected bariatric surgeons in North America he has and does perform both surgeries, but I will say, he is does have his preference.

SPOILER ALERT!!!!! He doesn't actually eat all that food. I've visited several of the places feature in the episodes (no I didn't take any of the challenges). I was informed at both the Big Texan Steakhouse & The Heartattack Grille that the challenge meals were actually shared with the crew. The shows results are a result of mediocre acting and creative editing. But it is still a good show.

I agree it SUCKS!! And it was the worst attack I've had, but keep in mind this could very well be tha last gout attack you ever experience. When mine hit I was eating naproxen like candy for two weeks just so it wouldn't throb even staying off of it. Just keep up on the uric acid cleanse. My feet feel better now than anytime in my memory.

If you can tolerate them well, there is no reason not to have 1or 2 a day indefinately. But After a couple/few months they shouldn't be your sole or even your primary source of protein, that should be food.

I think Wal-mart needs to add the "where is _____ item" feature to their randomly placed price scanners in their stores.

My two cents, I'd be happy to leave that 4 oz of filet behind. Before the sleeve I would have found a way to stuff it in. And really, it never tastes quite as good once it's been reheated.

First thing to my mind is your surgeon is shooting numbers based on averages. On average a sleever loses 70% of excess body fat. You don't have to be the average. Tree are many here that have lost more than they currently weigh. This is your life, and your journey, you decide if average is good enough I can tell you now, average is not for me.

My recommendation would be the Unjury® protein powders. I love the chocolate splendor and the chicken soup is great when you want something savory instead of sweet.

The best is whey protein isolate. My top 2 recommendations are Unjury® and Syntrax Nectar® I'd also recommend getting an accountability partner. One that will be honest with you when you start down the wrong path.

Most of us can eat anything. The question is what are you choosing to eat. I'm not asking you to share that with us if you are not comfortable with that, but at least do a food journal for a week. Write down everything that goes into your mouth. Include items used in preparation. Track volumes also, and add up your total daily calorie count. I think you may find its much higher than you might think Also, what are you drinking? It is so easy to drink a ton of calories and not even notice it.

I love this as I am a waterbaby myself. That's gotta feel great. Sounds like its time to look into a new Seadoo

Underhunder --- less than 100lbs to goal ---- example. If goal = 150 then Underhunder is = or < 249 Onderland is when the first # on the scale is a 1 ---- when you weigh between 100-199lbs you are in Onderland

I can assure you this is completely normal. So normal in fact that I bet you'd have. Hard time finding someone that didn't experience the last minute doubts.

I feel ya 100%. I am a pasta freak. So I have sworn off all bread, pasta, rice, potato, and fried foods till I reach goal or for 1 year, which ever comes first. I'm waiting on the call from Olive Garden to see if I'm still alive. But to be honest, it's not as hard as I thought it would be.

You won't have to worry much about over eating, your sleeve will handle that for the most part. What you will need to focus on is your food selection. Really the only way to sabotage this process is by making poor food choices. Make a concerted effort into learning how to get all your nutrients into very small portions. And from my experience, you're not going to want to celebrate your success with a pece of cake, candy, ice cream as the small amount of capacity you have to nourish yourself with is too valuable to waste on that kind of stuff.

The only real negative about gummie vitamins is that you are giving up part of your daily carb allowance to your vitamin. Not really a problem early out, but by the time the first bottle was gone, I was looking to save that little bit of carb for my food.
