Time-for-me!

I am 3 months out of surgery and I was able to take my pill no problem before and after surgery. My Dr checked me last month and said nothing has changed and to continue taking my little pill... chances are we will always have an under-active thyroid, it's a problem with the gland itsself, and I don't think it's related to our food intake at all... darn it anyway!! LOL

You're welcome Sarah, I hope you enjoy it!! I know WE do!:thumbup1:

I wanted to say how SUPER YUMMY this pizza is!! I make it a couple of times a month and even my hubby loves it!! I make it with ground turkey, minced garlic and Italian Mrs Dash in the crust, and I use the rest of the ground turkey (scramble fried in a bit of PAM) along with minced mushrooms and red and yellow peppers and then I add some crushed pineapple on top of the light shredded mozza!! SOOOOO DELICIOUS!! ( I did find that my first attempt was quite dry, but when I used the whole little tin of pizza sauce on top of the crust (instead of just a couple of tablespoonfuls) with some light parmesan cheese, it was fantastic!) Highly recommend this one, and I feel like I'm eating pizza again!!

Way to go Sarah! It REALLY does get better every day, pretty soon you will feel "normal" and the energy will come back! You are doing great!!

Hi Sarah! I was severely fatigued for the first several weeks. I wanted to nap, but like you, work and family demands come first, then finally a chance to rest at about 8pm! After about 4 weeks I noticed it gradually getting better. I'm still tired by the end of the day but I'm up at 5:30, work at my job for 8 hours, and don't get a chance to relax until my 3 year old gets to bed at 8pm. :svengo: Just keep in mind that your body is healing, and trying to deal with functioning on FAR less fuel than it's used to!! Hang in there, it gets better!:001_smile:

My Dr uses a 32... I'm down 40 lbs since Jan 11th... it's working for me!

Haha, you're welcome! You're right I AM going to enjoy it while I can! I hit my first stall at the end of 2 weeks when I started mushies.. it lasted a week and a half and then it started moving again. THEN when I was expecting my period last week it stalled AGAIN for a week, it just started moving again yesterday... I STILL weigh myself every day though. It was TOTALLY frustrating not seeing any progress, but I just kept saying it WILL start up again, it WILL start up again! I figured it took me YEARS to put all this weight on, I should be more patient in trying to get it off!

So Tiffy, did you get it at all during the first 2 months? I sure am looking forward to lighter and a day less!! That's ANOTHER perk to this surgery!!:thumbup:

OK, sorry if this is too much information BUT... I am almost exactly a month out of surgery... I had my period right before surgery (in fact it finished the day before my surgery) and I was due to have it again last week on Tuesday... it's now more than a week late, and I'M NEVER late! Nope, I'm not pregnant because I was following Dr's orders no sex for 4-5 weeks after surgery... so there's been none of that business going on!!:001_tongue: (my poor hubby!!) Just wondering if it's my body holding on to everything seeing as I've lost 30 lbs in a month... maybe my body thinks I'm starving and is trying to maintain/hold on to whatever it can?? Any other ladies experience this at all?:blushing:

I guess I'm one of the lucky ones too... I haven't stopped loving water! I drank it like CRAZY before surgery and now I still love it (nice and cold with ice cubes!) and I sip it all day long!:001_tongue:

Best decision I have ever made too!! I am less than a month out and I am down 27 lbs already!! WHEN has anyone ever been able to say THAT?? (Other than people who have had the sleeve that is!!)

HI Kai, I am 13 days out from my sleeve surgery, and I also live in Alberta! I found IsoFemme chocolate Protein powder at WalMart near the pharmacy area. It has 25g of protien, very low carbs and sugar, low calories and I found it tasted really yummy with skim milk or water! Unfortunately I went to get another container and they were sold out, so I tried costco. I found one called Kaizen 100% Whey Isolate, Decadent Chocolate. There was also one there (same brand) that was plain, unsweetened and unflavoured. I haven't tried the unflavoured plain one yet to say if it really is flavourless (cuz I just got them yesterday!), but I found the chocolate one to be good! Not QUITE as yummy as the IsoFemme from WalMart, but it'll do! The Kaizen ones have 35g of protien, 1g of carbs, and 150 cals per serving! SO there is a suggestion from a fellow Canadian sleever! Good luck! I too have been struggling to get in enough Water each day and have been feeling tired and weak too. I also bought a bunch more Vitamins yesterday so hopefully in taking those,it will pass for me too!

WOW! I made this Soup last night and it was DELICIOUS!!! And super easy to make too! And my husband loved it too! I have to admit until last night I have been a hater of the lentils... but these boiled down to the consistency of a pea soup. Super mushy and delicious! I have to admit that it was SO yummy I ate too much, I think I had a bit more than 1/2 a cup and I was SOOOO full!:blushing: Great recipe Mom!:biggrin0:
