Sleeved may 30th.. Was 306 weighed in today 261 down 45!!!! woot woot

Awesome how much sugar...can only have 12 grams of sugar in a serving when it's dairy?

I have gout and it is in the big toe joint. I think it depends on the person because I did not cut back on any protein and I'm in my 3rd week.I know u can still have flair ups however my foot doctor said the more weight I lose the better it will get thank god we r on this journey I wish u all the best

The pouched egg with milk not so much I was so excited and it just felt quesy I can't wait to try refried beans...its funny all I crave is a nice salad to lol

I had to sign a contract that stated what two forms of birth control I will be using and that I could nor get prego for 18_24 months because we need to mentally and physically be prepared

All I can say to all u ladies Do it Do it Do it!!!yes I was only sleeved on may 30th but its been great.I mean yes u gave ur own personal demons but that's what they r demons!!! Tell them to leave! This is ur time! At first yes ur like” I'll never eat real food....” That is a lie u just have to build back up to it. Its like a baby u wouldn't give them a solid streak as a new born u give them milk, then pureed food, then soft food then, then solid. If u go in with that positive mind set uk be amazing.. I'm 32 have a 2 yr old I have had pcos since I was 13 have half an overie, endometritis, gout, my soon was a miracle.but I deff. Needed to do something so I could have more babies.so glad I did. I was 306 and today I am at 285 already down 21 pound!!!!!! Woot woot u Girls can do it!!!!!

I would love one this is so smart. Also I was sleeved in may can I join the face book page? My email is: sereneerichsen@yahoo.com

At least with the pre op u got actual food lol but it will be here soon enough I just started the purae faze today

Yes straws are since they can produce air I went to buy a protein shake and out of habit I used it but yes should not use straws!

I geuss I can drink from a straw to lol. I just really listen to my body glad its going well for u

That's funny I was wondering the same thing I was sleeved on may 30th but I can drink more then I thought u should as well maybe we r just healing faster humn

U have to walk and move after surgery yes but remember this is still a major surgery. Ur body needs to rest and heel!! Be careful running to the gym..if u aren't able to operate a car how can u operate a tresmill. My nutritionist said give urself,, at least 4weeks just wasn't u to be safe

What's Fred?

The onlything I would do is take adult chewable vitamins they have more of what we need

Great so excited to just be heathy a little uncomfortable when I wake up but take my vits and then protein first thing and i feel grear .

I would go to ur gyno and talk to them about everything and explain ur worries and concern . I have had pcos since I was 12 and at 26 found out I have endometriosis, and have 1 ovary ... I am blessed to have a noah who will be two friday. However I was 220 at the start of my preg. And although beautiful it was horrible. My legs looked like I had elephantiasis, was gestational diabetes, back hurt just big! I was really trying to lose weight before I got preg. So I was put on metforman ( usually people who are diabetic take this) they have found that it helps women w/pcos lose weight, that being said it apparently helps w/fertility. The cyst like to feed off our hormones and when we r not on bc we r more likely to have them. I always had the hard dermoid kind. I even got one while I was preg. And had to have it removed during my c section. That was it I knew this weight thing really had to happen..at first docs thought it was tyroid after8 months found out iactually don't have atyroid problem. Any way I geuss I just wanted to share with u to let u know ur not alone I am here to to help support u. I was taking yaz before but I am going to go back to the doc after my post appt here have a check up if u find a good one let me know same as I I wish u the blessed ooh I was just sleeved on may 30

Praise god thank u jesus!!!!! I am in agreement!!! I ask god to guid the surgeons hands to havE a safe, quick, blessed surgery..!!! Woot woot sooooooo excited door ur journey. I was just sleeved may 30,2012

I can't believe they did not tell u this before the surgery.I had to sign a release weeks before surgery saying I would use two forms and not get prego until 18 to 24 months. I am using birth control and condoms. It will be who with it in the end but when u loose weight u can become more fertile that's why.

I was told only 5 grams of sugar in regular items but if its dairy no more then 12 grams I found non fat yoplay (sp) honey greek yogurt with only 10 grams of sugar and they taste pretty good

This is beautiful I couldn't agree more it brought a tear to my eye

Awesome I was sleeved the same day

Hi, my name is serene I am 5,6” and weigh 306 as of wednesday many people said the same thing to me. I carry my weight differently and don't look like I weigh that much and I kind of started to believe them but then I realized I wanted everything u said. I also want to have more kids (have one age 2) so I want to be healthy and full of energy I want to enjoy and live life!!! I don't want an extenderfor the seat belt on an airplane any more!!! I realized I am doing this for me!! so I did and was sleeved on may 30th and the energy I already have I just feel happy and not pretend happy real genuine happy woot thank u jesus!!! I how I could help do what u know feels good in your heart because in the end its u that lives with it not them

I was sleeved may 30th and just started the protein I use a timer a lot but first thing when wake up is I have protein I like three powder kind I can just mix it myself so I measure the amount I have to have for the day in septate container and I place the amount of water bottles out I need I just reuse the same bottle.I put a little crystal light in these sometime.if I don't do this I will forget as well. So far its helped me. Hope it helps u Blessings on ur journey Serene

P.s. I was sleeved wed may 30th

I really like whey protein its softer and the powder protein is much cheeper then pre made drinks. I also know that costco sells it in a bag way cheaper, yes its still like $45 but just remember its pretty much the only thing ur eating for about two weeks before u really get soft good . Congrats on this new journey.. God bless Serene
