It is a little tougher recovery (well, I had hernia repair also) but worth it all!

I know it isn't much help towards you not hurting but what you described in both instances, I experienced. I slept in my recliner for the first week and on several pillows for a couple more. The sore throat will get better as you take in more liquids.

Job well done!

Job well done, keep up the great work and your enjoyment of living!

I eat the double chicken chopped salad at least once a week. It does last me 3-4 meals so very economical. I love that you can go on their website, enter exactly what you want to eat and it gives all the nutritional value. I printed out my salad so I could keep tract of it on Lose It and also give it to my husband when it is his turn to go pick it up

Dr. Chris cottrell, Garland, Tx.....couldn't be happier!

Just wanted to step in and say I actually found PB2 at our local Walmart last week!

Congrats"

You look so wonderful...thank you for sharing!

You look amazing!

You have posted a fantastic testimonial! Job well done.

I use Lose It because I have a Nike+band and they sync.

You look fantastic. Keep on keeping on!

I take B1 and B12 pill form. I was taking B1 prior for some feet issues.

Congrats!

My food varies because I seem to get bored easily but my greatest treat is a nice green salad with either ham or turkey and low fat cheese loaded with Walden dressing with 0 everything calories, etc). I was sleeved 3/21/13 and am down 26 lbs.

Lol, you are working it girl! Hubby WILL survive, you just enjoy the feeling.

Keep on keeping on cause you are rocking it!

I had band removal, hernia repair and the sleeve all in one surgery and am so thankful because I was gaining weight with a slipped band!

If you have an iPhone or ipad there is a program called "eat slower". It makes a sound when you can take a bite. You set it for whatever length you need to. I used it a lot until I was out about 5 weeks.

I am at 800 calories at the most and my doctor said that was spot on!

That is fantastic!!

I was told nothing like that for at least a year because they swell up and thus fill up the sleeve leaving no room for protein, etc. I know all drs are different so I would as my dr

It took me about 6 weeks befor I stopped having crashes. I stopped the shakes because I got so very sick of them. I try to get as much protein as I can

I have read several times on VST that people seem to stall at their "stable" weights in life and for me it was true. I am at my "old" lowest band weight and have been for 3 weeks. I just keep plugging away, changing my calorie intake some days and exercising more.
