Sourrounded By So Much Negativity.....starting To Second Guess Myself...
Diamond, I love what you wrote. I was very fortunate to have a daughter get sleeved 3 yrs ago. She was a great example of success for me. The only thing I'm sorry for is that it took this surgery for me to loose weight. I wish I could have dieted or controlled my over-eating, but it just didn't happen. Thank goodness this surgery is available for us. I hope everyone had a lovely Easter.

Protein Jellos!
Thanks! I'm two months out and have a hard time getting more than 50-60 gms of protein in. I had my labs done last Monday. Everything was good, but protein Dr. really pushed how I've got to increase it.

Week 7! Very Slow Loser
It's nice to know I'm not the only one! I was sleeved 2/06 and I'm 2 lbs away from an even 25 lb. loss on 4/06. I was hoping to be below 200 on my 2 month anniversary...but don't think that'll happen. I think it's my age (66); low BMI to start with; and no exercise. I'm planning to start some form of exercise soon. Can you tell that's a problem for me.

6 Days Post-Op, Feeling Fine
Congrats on your surgery. Broth was one of my favorite things. I liked beef broth best. For some reason, it just seems more "substantial".

Faq - Come In!
1. Do the staples dissolve? 2. Can you get a leak any time after surgery? Or is it just immediate? 3. What other possible health problems can come along around 3 month after surgery?

How Much And What Were You Eating At 2 Months Post Vsg?
I was sleeved Feb 6th. I've lost 23 lbs. Can hardly wait to get below 200! 2 lbs to go! This is what ate today: Breakfast: 1 scrambled egg w/ big T. of cottage cheese; Lunch: Protein shake w/ 2 scopes of protein; Dinner: Chipotle Burrito Bowl, NO rice...just Beans, chicken, cheese and tomatoes. I scooped out 1/2 c. and ate that. I'm 66 years old and haven't started exercising yet. I think I need to do that and get my metabolism going. I'm waiting for nicer weather. ( : I actually should have had a Protein Bar today. This really isn't enough protein. That's been my biggest problem.

Starting To Love My Sleeve
Hey Reddi, we were sleeved the same day! I am sooooo happy I had this surgery. I'm getting comments that I've lost weight. I can really see the 20lb. loss! Excited for the future. Just having a hard time being patient! I've always said the first 2 weeks were the hardest. My energy has been slow, but I think it's because I've had a hard time getting in my Protein. I've started making shakes and that has solved that problem. I already see the change in my pep!

Cappucino Flavored Protein
At this minute I'm drinking a shake I made with Click (bought on Amazon). I used 3 ice cubes, 1/2 frozen banana, 3/4 scope of Jay Robb Protein, & 1/4 scoop of Click. Used my new Bullet, which does a great job. You could adjust the Click coffee flavor to your liking.
