gettinMeBack

Yes that's true I will say that now I doesn't bother me watching them eat things that I can't or shouldn't have. Pre op it was horrible but now I can watch them eat pizza, spaghetti, steak,etc (my favs) and not be bothered. Although I am still hungry I just reach for things I can eat and I'm satisfied

I am five weeks out now

I had hunger feelings a week after my surgery that's so funny how people differ wit this surgery lol but we r losing that's all that matters

Just to eat one cup of food it takes me forever smh I had a half of cup of salad and I'm full as ever lol I just threw the rest away smh

I actually just had this experience and went to the surgeon about it and he just pulled them out and I'm fine now

U look good girl!! At 4weeks I was so disappointed becuz I didn't see a major difference physically I guess cuz I see myself everyday but when I started getting out more and more active everyone kept tellin me how much smaller my face was! So I did a before and after picture and really saw the difference for myself!! I cudnt believe it!!!!! At 5weeks now I've hit onederland so girl there is more enjoyment to come from this surgery! This is the best thing we cud have done for our health!! Congratulations!!!

Has anyone found some or heard of some?

Yes!!! After my surgery I was tryin to talk to my fiancée about the things I wa going thru and he just didn't get it. Then I don't kno anybody that went thru it that I wud talk to all the time or that I wud hang wit. I was also lookin for recipes specific to this surgery...so when I found this community I was like YES!! like a little kid in a candy store!!!

I have always been on my fitness pal but I never had any friends, now bcuz of this App I have TONS of friends and all are people that are eating things and ways I can relate to! Now these are the only apps I really use on my phone!!

After my surgery I had so many questions for people that have been thru the surgery also. I went on my Iphone and typed in vertical sleeve in the app search box and low and behold this app popped up! At first I thought it wudnt be populated and that it wud be boring and I wud end up deleting it anyway. But I am soooo glad I found it bcuz it has answered so many questions and been so informative in helpin me wit this. I only wish I had found it while I was pre op

U can also add me on myfitnesspal gettingtiffanyback

I told the people that were closer to me and that I deal wit on a daily basis. Some co-workers and that's only bcuz they had it to and I was researching. I feel it's none of their business if its not someone that cares about my well being. I'm not ashamed by far cuz enjoying this weightloss and what I'm seeing in the mirror!!

I have 3 sons and my youngest is 5 almost 6. I started this journey at 240lbs and now after being sleeved 8/24 I now weigh 194...and my 5 yr old son is now able to wrap his arms all the way around my waist when we hug.... Brought such a smile to my face and I held him longer and tighter

I started at 240 and today weigh 194!!

I started at 240 and today I am 194 I was sleeved aug 24th

Hey everyone! I was sleeved August 24th!!! Started @ 240 and now today weigh 194!!!

Go head girl I can't wait to reach that weight!!! U look amazing!!!!

Yea I just bought some and am actually drinking it now and I like it

Just bought some isopure and I like it actually it doesn't taste any worst than crystal lite or watered down apple juice to me. So for 40 grams of protein I think it's worth it

Weighed myself today and I hit 194!!! Started at 240!! Dos-217 aug 24th

Just bought some cottage cheese today! I bought the low fat Kroger brand so I think I'll try it with the canned pineapples I bought also

I thought my stomach just didn't like the boost chocolate protein drink, so I switched and bought the eas advantage chocolate and strawberry cream to replace it. I tolerated the strawberry fine although I didn't like it very much, so I tried the chocolate one and i was sick as a dog. I didn't throw up but I had the worst feelings in my stomach and the feeling of having to have a bowel movement. (Sorry if this is tmi) but after having a small bm and laid down for 5mins I felt fine I felt better

I was sleeved aug 24th I started out at 240 now weigh 202! I'm on purée stage and I'm sticking to yogurt, tuna, applesauce, eggs, protein drinks, jello bites, and I've tried canned fruits but I can't each much of them. I exercise everyday twice a day at home or in the gym, doin strength or cardio. My energy has been fine now but the first two weeks I was so tired. I'm struggling to get my water and protein in smh so hard to watch the times I drink and eat lol really have to get use to that. Overall I love that I had this surgery I don't regret a thing. Still tempted by some fast foods cuz I have a fiancée that won't let go of them lol but for the most part I've been DOIN really good.

I just bought some from gnc today. They were the larger size bars with 32g of protein. Four bars in a box two boxes for $8. I can't eat a whole bar so ill be cutting them in half.

They have the chocolate and Cookies n cream so ill be hunting them down!! Lol
