  1. Welcome to VST Andreas wow, sleeved in 2009. Almost a three year sleever, that definately makes you a veteran. How long has your weight loss been stalled? Any idea why? We've got a great community here. I hope you choose to hang around a while. We seem to do a pretty good job of keeping each other motivated and focused on our targets. Being a 3year veteran, I'm not sure how much advice we can offer, but we are really good at the support & community thing.
  2. Syntrax makes an unflavored protien powder also. I know Vitamin Shoppecarries Syntrax products.
  3. Was trying to fill out my profile info and found Dr. Jaime Ponce De Leon in TJ MX is not listed. There is a Guillermo Ponce de Leon, and a Jaime Ponce but these are not him Thank you.
  4. Great to hear you are making good progress.
  5. Lunges + Squats = Onion Booty
  6. Food is fuel, nothing more, a bit of variety just keeps it tolerable.
  7. No, but neither does it help to shape it either. To help create a shaply derrière you need to do squats & lunges.
  8. I'm getting more & more frustrated.
  9. There is a thread somewhere in this forum recently where this exact scenario was played out. It becomes a coding issue, the insurance may not directly cover the removal of the band, but because it is required to perform the VSG there is a different medical code that makes it coverable. You should talk to your surgeon about this because it is so specific and they may need to research the coding.
  10. It is known as the spider method. The reason it hasn't been widely adopted yet is because it is still relatively new and does carry a slightly higher risk for complication.
  11. PPI is proton pump inhibitor. Like Prilosec. Priority #1 for you right now though is to get more liquid. Dehydration is a real problem. Are you having a hard time swallowing? Or do you just not like Water? Wether is the best thing, but if you just can't stand water, try Gatorade G2 or Vitamin Water zero.
  12. The wonton soup broth will be fine. At 1week out I'd be careful with the egg drop. I'd recommend sending it through a strainer first.
  13. Good to see a stalker converted. Welcome.
  14. Should you? No. Would I? Possibly Can you have a little & not derail yourself? I think so.
  15. Punch line Thief!!!!
  16. I was watching beach volleyball today, there was a wrist injury.
