I did HCG for over 6 months dropped 55lbs stopped taking HCG and gained it ALL back and some! I had an entire fb page dedicated to me being on HCG about 90% of the people I knew who did it { over 900 fb hcg peeps} Failed at it Long term! I would NOT invest time nor money into something that only produces instant results but yet fails in the long run~ Focus on being sleeved and leave the fad diets alone!

I don't believe that J Hudson did weight watchers alone! I believe she had weight loss surgery~ that's my final answer!!!!
The lies are what is making me want to tell the world about the sleeve! I don't want to provide people with false hope~ especially those that have been struggling with their weight for years~ #ijs#

Hello everyone, as I begin my sleeve journey I now see people a lil differently in terms of their dramatic weight loss. I know a few people that have been sleeved that were open about their surgery and some I speculate have had it done~ Everyone knew when Star Jones got gastric because it was super obvious! With all the recent weight loss endorsements by Celebrities I always wondered which ones were real and which ones werent~//
Have you ever seen a friend, someone in passing or a Celebrity and wondered to yourself...Mmmmmmmm I wonder if they were sleeved!??
I have a few in mind how about you????????????

I confess that after losing 47 lbs., I finally had sex with my husband NAKED!!!!!

the vitamix is the best. Way better than immersion blender. My sister got me hooked and she has been using hers for a few years. My other sister bought one last year refurbished from the company - I got mine from costco.
I still use my immersion blender for some things but I love the vitamix and think you will enjoy it!

Hello again Ladies, just wanted to share a lil bit.........Don't ever wonder if you've made the right choice by getting sleeved, I know this is the greatest journey of my life. Well my diabetes is gone, yep I said gone. My blood pressure is in check. I haven't taken any medication for either since the day before my surgery, docs orders of course....and to ad the sugar free artifitial cherry on top, as of five minutes ago I am 2 pounds from hitting 100 lost....phew. surg. date 9/4/12......start wght 359.......current wght 261.1...... And Ladies tho I don't post often, know I keep all of you in my prayers daily.

Keep in mind that you can only absorb 30 g of protein at any given time. So if you're using enough powder to get 60 grams in one shake, you're taking in calories without the benefit of being able to use all the protein. Try halving it and spreading the Protein drinks at least one hour apart.

Received my approval and surgery date is October 31, 2012. I am so nervous and anxious....not second guesing myself just nervous about the entire process. After next week, I begin a journey that will be totally new..

I did not have to submit to insurance per se. I am a Military dependent (spouse) I am going through a Bariatric Program at a Military Hospital and once you complete your checklist the surgeon reviews and makes sure you have met all requirements.I had to do the same things most of you did with Nut and Psych and an Upper GI.Our surgeons don't let us pick random dates but they give us a window. That being said my surgeon called me yesterday and ..... I GOT A DATE!!!!
November 7th is my date which is T- 13 days away:) Now I am nervous.

I start pureeds next week for 2 weeks. I'm looking for any good pureed recipes. I'm not interested in baby food.
I've got fat free refried Beans and I plan to blend that with salsa and then put in microwave with chedder cheese and to top with tblsp of plan greek yogurt. I'm thinking of blending some of my favorite Soups, but for some reason we're not allowed anything with corn so it's been hard to find soups without corn in them.
Does anyone have any good recipes they used?

Sweety I'm so sorry u feeling this way and with no support at home. That just makes it so much harder. Just remember you have our support, whatever you decide. You aren't alone. If u want to text send me a private message. Hugs!!

My advice... 1) As soon as the anesthesia wears off GET UP. The more you walk walk walk the better you feel. 2) sip all day long, it's your new mission to get in the Protein and Water. 3) sleep in an elevated position for a couple of nights (I ended up in my recliner a few nights). 4) keep track of what you eat and drink in a journal. I forget what I have had because it takes so long to finish something. 5) find a Protein Powder you like now. I tried several pre-op that tasted horrible. It makes it easier post op when you are having to force it down.
I am 1 1/2 weeks out and haven't had any complications. I wish you well.
