  12. I can't tolerate sugar I get a slight dumping syndrome like. But I did like a chocolate expresso Protein shake.
  13. Welcome this is a great forum for you to get support and information. I Love my sleeve! Good luck
  14. Truth be told you are not alone. Yes call your doctor. Take your medicine. But I have felt emotional more around three week mark. I yelled at everyone. Some of this may be hormones, normal. But may be you just need some one professional to talk to just to sort it out. I do think some of it is normal. Good luck
  15. Don't forget to laugh during this process.
  16. Slow losers please comment on your journey for support.
  17. Hi everybody my name is Ballermom and I'm a slow loser. Ok so, I'm not the typical " I lost 100lbs in 4-6 months" deal. So I developed some motivational steps to help others like myself. Step one- Don't compare yourself with any body. You worked to hard on this Journey with all the hoop jumping just to get the surgery. Time to appreciate how hard you've worked and who you are as an individual. Step two-make that scale your Be-atch! Step three- add another weight loss exercise like Skinny Sex! Step four- don't forget to enjoy the Journey! Edited post
  18. At 5 months out I'm in a size 12 pants. And a large top. I've lost the mostly in my legs. Lol I have most of my fat left in the lower belly. I'm already researching for a TT. I just want to get Down to 170lbs before I seriously consider Plastics. Considerding Fat transfer to other areas. Lol
  19. I am a slow looser too! What I love about this surgery is that I am still loosing. I am 5 months out and lost 64 lbs. I'm not the classic "I've lost 100lbs in 4-6 months. But slowly and surely. I do get less encouraged if I try to compare myself. Cheri, I am encouraged by your post and others Like you.
  20. I love the Nectar protein drinks. I'm currently drinking strawberry kiwi. I've been mostly doing the Nectar flavored since surgery.
  21. Congrats. I would like to have that done too. If you wanted can you pay the difference to add TT with muscle repair. Can anyone answer this.
