  1. Get. It. GURLLLL!!! YOU LOOK SO HAPPY AND GOOD!
  2. I first laid the pad on my back for a few hours , then put on my tummy and moved allover chest. Hope that helps. I never had a drain.
  3. No , I don't do shots but the kind that dissolves. Maybe I should ask my primary doctor? I feel it's holding me back from excersiing. I get dizzy & see stars & feel faint. I even eat protein before. Do u think the shots would be better? Do u do the shots yourself or does the doctor?
  4. You look great! Congrats! R u @ goal? Did u do a lot of tummy workouts? I am afraid if I don't start, I will be flabby later. Once again.. congrats sister!
  5. I was sleeved on 6/24 as well and down 49 lbs. Sounds like we 3 are in the same boat! Cheers to us! I'm at 237 as of yesterday. I still have energy issues & it sucks to eat. I do protein shakes for breakfast and a quest bar for lunch a modified dinner with hubby & son.
  6. Just weighed in... 237 today. I'll take it!!!
  7. 1. Are you a man? 2.you have lost that much (122lbs) since june 2013? I AM Falling over on the floor!!!!! GREAT JOB!!!
  8. Yeah we are ! But 2 days ago I weighed 238. Gonna weigh again tomorrow.
  9. I use Matrix brand and have used nectar recommend both from my surgeon. I use skim milk. Skim milk gives you 8 grams of Protein. Both brands of powder I use has 23grams of protein? So total of 31 grams of protein. I have a shake for breskfast cuz I am always on the go. I bought the unflavored unjury and it gags me. I tried it so many ways and no luck for me. So I have a entire tub of wasted Protein Powder. I put it in a canister & tossed the original container. Dumb me.
  10. Go on gurrrl! Rock dat' SLEEVE! Congratulations!
  11. You look amazzzzing girl! Congrats! How tall are you?
  12. I'm not 6 months out, but the following should help you still. I am 2 1/2 months out & no regrets!!! It was nothing compared to my c-section & I was sooooo freeeeaked out before surgery. I did not have a drain. Thank goodness! I used a heating pad as soon as I got into my private room. I rotated it every couple hours from back to front & took GAS Xstrips 2 @ a time . I had no gas pain! I did walk a ton in the hospital . I think that help a lot as well. Also if you can find chewable multi Vitamin, acid reducer & B12 dissolvables that will beat the crushing of pills. I struggled for two weeks of nasty crushing of pills. A friend of mine told me about the chewables! Yeah, no need to stock pile. Your taste buds change so be ware! I also started taking Bioton 2 months prior to surgery & have not lost any hair yet! I am 2 months & 2 weeks out. I love sugar free popsicles! I had a hard time getting in 64oz of Fluid and I still eat like 4 a day! I use coco oil every day to help with my skin also. I hope this helps! Best if luck! Highest weight 301 Start weight 286 Day of surgery 273 CW as of today 238
  13. So glad to here this! I am 2 May months out and constantly getting dizzy & light headed when I go to stand up. Also, sluggish again & no appetite. Just started Iron pills today. Hopefully that will help.
