The common science is that calorie deficits take off weight. Metabolisms modify that fact but in the long run it works out. Exercise builds muscle which burn calories. Exercise is an essential thing in my estimation. Water, exercise, Vitamins, small portions of good food, ...you can't lose.... meaning you will lose.

I was sleeved on the 18th of feb down only 24 pounds,but low bmi, 40 to go, I am at my second stall, now stopped all carbs to see if that helps, and drinking more pure Water instead of propel or sobe.

I would be spreading the word not to use this place again, to many other options, bad customer service should not be tolerated for a medical procedure. Shame on them

I am 8 weeks and 2 days and lost 20 pounds total, its been slow, but I don't really work out, I still need to loose 43 pounds hoping by the fall at least.

I will be 8 weeks on monday as of today lost 19 pounds total, less then I have wanted, but slow is ok, don't want hanging skin. I eat 40 carbs a day, I try for 800 some times its more or less, I try to get 80 Protein, adn 64 oz Water, I always have a Protein Shake every day which is 30 grams, I use a 32 oz bpa free water jug and fill it 2 times, so I know I have to keep drinking till end of day. I have not tried raw veggies or fruit yet. Going to wait till 3 months out and then try it, I only have troubles from chicken, it sits weird on tummy, so eating seafood and alot of ground beef ( chili) these days. mary

Well, RNYers are not in the VSG clique. We are special and spiffier. You would have to pay someone off to get back in.

Oh, blooming oinion!!!! I have been thinking about one of those for months now. How bad could it be? It's just an onion. Vegetable... Kidding. That would send me right over the edge! I believe in moderation, but I also believe there are some things I couldn't handle. Sad, really...

You know I'm definitley no expert but I will tell you marymouse50 when ever I have lost weight it's because I stay away from carbs. I knew going into this I would. Not change that even though it's not so recommended . I would first be sure to get all your Protein in you have to exercise. If your gonna have carbs eat them early. And you also are small in weight that makes a difference also. Keep trying new things you can do this,! Your already losing! Don't compare I hope this helps.

No. Gray hair is caused by children and husbands.

Ok...not mean enough?? Watch this!
HEY THIS GIRL CHEATED AND ATE TWO BURRITOS! GET HER!
Hehehe

I had to see what all the fuss was about. Hot crap dip doesn't sound so good!

My BMI was 35 day I went to doctor, now 16 days later, I have lost 14 pounds, I am short 5'3, and didn't have health problems, but was headed in the wrong direction, I feel like a weight has been lifted, and to say this is the easy way out of dieting, they are wrong, its hard, not easy and painful. But I believe well worth it. Good luck to all you upcoming sleevers. mary

I use the small white ramikens from surlatable, for measureing, I packed in Beans till about half full, used a mozzarella cheese stick, 2 tablespoons salsa, put in microwave, could eat 1/2, so save other half for lunch or dinner next day, without messing more dishes. I swear the hobbits took over my house, there is small dishes and spoons everywhere LOL

sounds like they over booked, which is why their was lack of service, Hope everything about this journey for you is amazing though. I am at day 14, but had surgery here in us.

Laura...I see your are my sister mermaid. How was the thin mint? Please tell me in detail. It's like food porn you know.

I am being sleeved in 3 days, I think I am going to miss my morning toast the most. It is english muffin bread with real butter and it is my biggest treat all day.
I will not miss wearing black, feeling invisible, being envious of the skinny girls, seeing my profile in the mirror or feeling like I want to curl up and die every time I leave a dressing room at the mall.

my preop is the 1st, surgery the 18th, taking 10 days off of work,, then going to have help for 4 days, then off again for 5 days, I don't care what kind of diet they put me on, I do better with rules then free reign LOL going to keep posting my whole experience, I don't have a whole lot of weight to lose, my bmi is 34 but I am short, this for me is preventative medicine, my mother died very young with horrible diabetes and heart issues, not going to let it happen to me. I am very determined and dedicated to this. Mary

Hi Mastiff Mama
I to had surgery on monday, I am having some issues, was in the hospital for one night and I think it should have been 2. anyways, I was on major pain meds as I had a hernia repair also, today I am still afraid to drink my costco Protein shakes so my husband went and got me some more clear Protein from the docs office. I am taking lora tap, or liquid vicodin, and pantoprazole for acid once a day. today I was feeling a little better but around noon was having major stomach pain so had some loratap and that solved it. I am trying real hard not to get dehydrated, not easy to drink constantly. I am hoping to off meds by this weekend and try yogurt and pudding, I have not vomited once since I have been home but having issues on the other end. Keep in touch. I need to lose 60 pounds. Mary

prayers and hugs to all you sleevers today, Mind is a week from today, started the liquid diet today, so far so good, I am eating 1 cup greek yogurt with 2 tablespoons sugar free preserves, lunch is a Protein Shake, dinner will be pureed lentil Soup, plan on doing this diet all week, with my clear diet on sunday. i was watching the you tube videos yesterday and slimjen is awesome for anyone who is looking for more information. Mary

I will be leaving for the Hospital at 5 am to get Sleeved! I'm nervous and can't sleep. I will keep everyone posted. Please send prayers my way
thank you, Lisa

I am getting sleeved on feb 18th, excited and scared too...
