  11. Hello all! I am 6 months post up and down 126! Here are some before and after pics!
  12. Janette - I don't stress about it! I just follow my doctors guidelines and let it happen. I'm still not eating alot, trying to get my protein, and really sucking at getting my fluids. But I have not once gotten sick or had complications. A typical day for me is either a bananas or bowl of Special K protein plus for breakfast. Lunch is usually a Greek yogurt. Dinner is usually shredded chicken or pork or turkey meatballs and a little big of veggie or fruit.
  13. I am a little over 3 months post op and down 85 pounds. I chose to save my own life and I'm so thrilled that I did! I've added years to my life and life to my years. If you are questioning whether or not to have this surgery, think of how much your life is worth. Time is precious - the longer you wait, the more time you are losing. Here are some pics of my journey.
  14. Hey julyers!! I am a little over 3 months post op and I am down 85 pounds! I am soooo happy I made the decision to change my life forever! Here are some pics of my progress!
  15. I am 3 months out and 85 pounds down!!!
  16. Worst shape: I'm an apple. NO boobs, NO ass, it's all in the tummy. But thankfully that is changing now that I've lost 60 pounds since being sleeved July 3! Unfortunately, I will never have boobs or an ass ... But soon I won't have such a big middle!
  17. Hello julyers! I was sleeved July 3rd. Here is an update: Preop weight 315 Surgery day 310 Today 252 I am still not getting enough Protein because I pretty much only eat yogurt, Cereal, and a few fruits. But, I'm feeling great and couldn't be more happy with my progress. I've never once gotten sick... I'm just really turned off by food right now. I'm so happy I chose this surgery... I don't feel like I have an early expiration date anymore!
  18. Can someone define what a "slider" food is??
  19. I'm in the same boat (I literally feel like it). Anything I eat or drink makes me feel bloated. Has anyone tried Metamucil or something similar?

  21. Hey sleevers! I'm looking for some advice! I am 4.5 weeks post op... My first month was awesome! No nauseous, no vomiting, no pain, minimal heartburn. Starting yesterday I have just been feeling off. Very tired, kind of queasy, and totally turned off by all food... As in pretty much not eating anything. Anyone else experience this or know what I should do? I was told I didn't need to take a b-12, but I'm thinking maybe it will help my energy level? Is this true?
  22. Your progress is ridiculous! Congrats!
  23. Hey all! I was sleeved July 3rd and things are going well! I have lost 37 total lbs since my preop diet which started june 18th! Congrats to the rest of you on your successes!
  24. Lay on your left side and raise your right leg up to your chest!
  25. Hey sleevers! Who has experience with chia seeds or powdered Peanut Butter? Benefits? Uses? recipes? Thanks!
  26. 3rd grade teacher from Ohio here! I told my 2 co-teachers, a few close friends, and my dean! However, nothing stays a secret long at my school so I'm sure everyone will know soon! I'm down 29lbs in all and can't wait to have more energy this school year!!
