I'm considering a sleeve when my second and last baby will be 6 months old. Does anyone have words of wisdom about nursing after being sleeved? I believe my baby will be on soft foods at 6 months and this would be an ideal time for me to do something positive for myself. I'd like to continue to nurse at least twice a day at 6 months. Do you think it's possible? Thanks!!!

I've been nursing pretty successfully since my surgery on 4/4. My son is 7 months old and we had been supplementing with formula off and on- now I give him two bottles a day (about 10 oz of formula), but I'm still nursing on demand. For the week right after sx, I could tell he was unhappy, but I think that was more due to my dehydration. Now as I am able to get more water in my system, I can tell my supply is back up.

I'm the first poster in this month, but hoping to meet others who are getting VGS in April 2013! I had a baby on Sept 19th, nursing up until the surgery, that's why it's planned do far in advance. I have been heavy since I was about 8 years old and I'm tired of my self image stopping me from being the person I am on the inside. I have lost weight before using liquid only diet, but I feel that style of wl really makes it difficult to maintain. I'm ready to use the VGS as a tool I can maintain once I'm at goal. I'm 5"4' and currently 230lbs. My heaviest weight was 251. I've been doing TurboFire and walking, but just not loosing weight, even with journaling my food. It's crazy and it's time to get some surgical help! Looking forward to meeting my April 13 Sleevers!

I got the email, but the link said invalid... Do we had to be fb friends first?

Michelejennings@gmail.com on Facebook! Pls add me too!!

That's EXACTLY what I have been looking for! Thanks for sharing!! Wondering if you have any other printed gems to share?? Did the give you a diet post day 28?

You look so comfortable and happy! (Not to mention thin!!) way to go!!

Amazing!!

What an awesome birthday gift to yourself!!

I'm April 4th 36 years old 5"3' 230

I'm on vacation at the moment, but what do you all think about a "run down" sheet, with our screen names, surgery dates, surgery docs/location and where we are from? Would it be helpful? What about adding our stats? I changed my date from the 11th to the 4th and I've posted some stats/pics already... I'm really looking forward supporting and sharing this with you all!! Whoot!!!

I used the chocolate splendor in my coffee in the morning, after the temp was under 140... It was really tasty! I'm hoping to buy a big size unflavored and one of the chocolate splendor for right after the surgery. 64oz of water and 120 grams of protein seem a lot more doable if I can do them BOTH at the same time!!!

Amazing! You look awesome and SO happy in the "progress" shot!! I bet you feel really good, too!

Amaze-balls! You're rocking that sleeve!!

No problem! I was actually trying to point out how passive aggressive the OP is being by asking people to help her leave due to hurt feelings, instead dealing with those that hurt her feelings.

If you really want to delete your profile, why wouldn't you just research the FAQ's or logout and never come back!?? I'm calling you out on some passive aggressive behavior stuff. If someone upset you, direct your comments to them and have it out! We are adults and this is a public forum. Obviously i don't want to speak for you or your motivations but I'm here to learn About myself from people like me, who are in the same/similar situation. I hope that people like Grace and others tell me straight. It's up to you what you do with it. Be hurt if you want, but say it and deal with it.

There is another "april 13" thread on the self Pay board and heres what i just posted... I'm going to Jerusalem Hospital in TJ. I ordered the Unjury sampler pack and really want to try Chike, too. I'm currently on vacation, but plan to go to the Vitamin Shoppe and try a bunch of the other ones people on these forums have mentioned!!

April 4th! Mexico I'm coming to get that sleeve!!!

April 4th!! Can't wait!

I'm April 4th now, and so psyched to be closer every day!! I will be doing Beach Body Ultimate reset for 21 days and then starting liquids only the last week... I'm really looking forward to it. I want to be on the other side.

Hi Kriss! Stay strong!! Where are you having surgery? There are many insurance threads and many people share their experiences on getting approvals... Good luck!

Yay! I'm April 11!

I don't want to sound like a jerk, but who cares!!! Don't worry about other people- it won't help you And the comparison judging isn't a healthy practice, even. If you are right!! We can't eat like other people and you obviously are following your surgeons recommendations- keep up the good work and focus your energy on YOU and positive messages!!
