I had mine done 3/19/13 and at Miami Valley Hospital. Any fellow Ohioans want to be VSG buddies?!

Since we are active on FB pages is anyone willing to put them up so we can all join and interact there as well? If anyone wants me to add them to the one I'm on please look me up Angela Leiss-Orndorff, ano3472@yahoo.com on FB and add me. I'll accept and add you to the room

I would do it and see what happens. You'll get there!! Are you on Facebook? There's a forum there that's secret and it's really informative.

I miss everybody . I lost another pound. I am a very slow loser, but I was given some advice on here to have only Protein Drinks for about 10 days....yay or nay???

Several of us are doing all shakes on Modays. I did it yesterday and lost a pound. I hope this is a beginning of getting out of my stall!!

Sleeved 3/8/13 @ 240 pounds. Today down to 205; happy with my results so far. Finally working out and anxious to continue and reach my goal!

Keep hydrating and keep the Protein up....keep moving forward...the weight loss will catch up to you!

I'm glad to help!! I feel that sharing info is crucial because we are all told different things. I've got a whole 3 ring binder full of info and if it helps anyone I'm glad to share! We are all striving for the same goals and no one should be deprived of that.

That is so kind of you and I totally agree...we're all in this together and it helps to be reassured that what we are doing may help someone else. I haven't seen my surgeon since the day of surgery and don't expect to. The NP is of no help over the phone..no encouragement or anything . This forum is so important to me!! It helped me get over my stall and although it may happen again, I will have some good tools/ideas to work with. The info is greatly appreciated !!

My nut told me NO Protein bars as they're a carb packed nightmare and so far every bar I've got has been packed with carbs. Ive yet to find one that's high protein low carb. In fact my Dr. And nut gave us guidelines to use for our protein intake and how to guard against over loading and gaining. The guidelines are as follows.
Protein supplements should contain 15-25 gr of protein, NO more than 5-8 grams of sugar and no more than 3-5 grams of fat for each 8 oz prepared serving. 60-80 grams of protein are needed each day to maintain muscle and no collegen protein.
For those with stalls...maybe this will help?

Happy Dance! I hit 199 this morning! Now onto my next goal....179 no longer obese! HW 247 SW 240 Currently 199 I will take the 40 lb weight loss in 8.5 weeks!

I agree, we are all great losers whether we are fast or slow !! As long as the scales move downward , I'm fine!!

I haven't weighed myself yet since Wed but my clothes are fitting loose and I'm noticing my face looking thinner. Congratulations to you all for losing the weight. I was sleeved 3/19 as well and am not in onederland yet but I'm getting there. Keep up the awesome work everyone! !! so proud of you all.

Lost another pound, so happy, I've lost a pound a day since last Monday ! Cutting the carbs has been the best thing I've done to break a huge stall....maybe it will help someone else to know this

Thank you, Tannak!!! I've been ecstatic all day, lol. So glad to hear yours broke as well!! It's such a fantastic feeling! I hope it's a long, long time before either of us have to go thru this again!!

I think that sounds like a great idea. I haven't been sleeved yet, still in the supervised diet stage. Hoping to get a date soon. I would definitely attend something on a monthly basis.
