  1. I don't use no supplements as in proteins, i get them naturally but eating chicken, black eye peas, snack soy beans, I average about 90 grams of protein a day, if it dont have protein in it i don't eat eat, i was sleeved 6/19/13 i weighed 411lbs and so far i lost 90.6lbs . Of coarse i take my multiple vitamin and B12 but everything else i get it naturally, and each meal i have is a 1/2 cup, three times a day but i do have these soy beans that are coated i eat a 1/4 cup as a snack later in the evening, they are loaded with protein
  2. I'm 54 had my sleeved 6/19/13 lost so far 91lbs, I had surgery for a other issue and it kept my activity down for awhile.. but back up walking and riding a bicycle now and the weight now is coming off quick, its amazing how much less food i eat.. Life is good! And I hope everyone is doing gods in there life adventure! ✌
  3. Well I lost 91lbs since 6/19/13, I think I would of lost more but I had surgery on a other issue that kept my activity down, but now it coming off pretty good. I been riding a bicycle from my house to Scottsburg Walmart the boatman road route is helping , once in awhile i do walk around lake iola in Scottsburg but its just boing walking by yourself. So I hope everyone is doing great.
  4. If you want to know just ask, I was sleeved 6/19/13 the first 3 wks when healing was going on was hard to eat at first, specially the next day after surgery and being on mushy foods was hard but it beats the liquids diet, you will go through some emotional changes but it gets much much better; don't doubt yourself one bit and stick to what your goals are. Don't listen to other ones that says diet soda is fine, run from those people... Good luck to you and Jan/ Feb will be here soon enough. Hang in there
  5. Hello Im a young 54, i had the sleeve done 6/19/13, last time i weighed myself I lost 78 lbs feeling pretty good. So far i had two dumpings once when I ate a little too much watermelon and another time i had some food that had sugar in it unknowing, hopefully it won't happen no more, I eat about a 1/2 cup at each meal time. Best thing i feel full when I eat slow, but thats hard to do at times, but Im trying. Been out walking at a park with nice paved trails just wish someone out there lived close by and needed a walking partner, I live near Scottsburg Indiana. Good luck to everyone on there venture in weight loss.
  6. Yes I do that too, the cans I open up gets old after awhile just taking out 2 oz at a time but I'm getting better, I was at Cracker Barrel ordered the spicy trout ( grilled) and I ended up taking most of it home where I measured out and put it in food saver bags and put it up in the freezer
  7. The other day i had half of a large water melon in the fridge, it was in there for awhile but was still good wrapped up in plastic wrap so my sister kids come over and I thought what a good way of getting rid of this to the kids. Well I got the bowls out and started to fill 3 of them, but being a good uncle as i'am, I had a taste to see if is was ok.... OMG is was so good with that teaspoon circle I made, it was so sweet , so I filled their bowls up, there was plenty more left so i went and got 5 more spoon full cuts, after all its just watermelon right??... Worst mistake I did, I think I had 1 too many, I experienced my first (and last) dumping, I was in pain, short of breath, chest pains, watermelon felt like it was all the way up my throat, went on for intense 15 min. I wanted to throw up but I was afraid i rip something so silly me just laid out on the chair all slung out (what I site i must of looked to the kids...lol) then I recovered. So I got up walked in the kitchen and ask if the kids wanted to take home the rest of the watermelon they said no they had one at home. I did not hesitate or blinked my eye i tossed all that sweet tasting melon right in the garbage lesson learned. I had my sleeve surgeon appointment two days later and told him and he just smiled.. I ask "you think I might have hurt something" but assured me i was ok and that fiber fills up quick . I never have thrown away so much food in my life, so I'm better on buying foods now and I love eating healthy...
  8. Never in my life have I had food spoil since getting sleeved (6/19/13). Since I'm just eating a 1/2 cup at each meal there are plenty of left overs, food savers have plum full both the freezers , I use to be the one that ate the left overs but now I've learn to buy less and my food bill has gone down. So far I lost 65lbs and feeling pretty good about myself.
  9. Well I been getting in most of my protein through food, besides chicken, Greek yogurt , fish, turkey burgers , I have been eating different types of beans and keeping my total meal at 4oz.. There are times that I fall short so I do drink a protein shake Ensure which I don't like but will drink it, then I have whey protein drink mix that's not to bad.. But I try to make my meals count with protein, I do mix things up so I don't get burnt out on it, but so far so good.
  10. I wake up feeling good, so I pushed mowed my yard and got winded and tired, not sure if it too soon to do but if I have to walk, I might as well mow, so I will try to do the other half this evening, but sticking to a half cup at each meal time and taking vitamins, I have no problem getting down the fluids, just I have a problem eating slow, I've been trying, I should it with chop sticks.....,
  11. Yes I did, had a problem when in the hospital wearing my C-pap mask coming up choking, it last a short time and I haven't had that happen anymore and I was sleeved June 19
  12. I was sleeved 6-19-13 and I had a hard time catching my breath but do your walking it takes a few weeks to breath better, just short walks taking deep breaths, you will find it will get better.
  13. Happy 4th everyone! Hope all is recovering and doing good, for me I lost 36 lbs so far but I haven't weighed myself in 5 days, at least now I'm sleeping through the night and I'm full of energy. I'm so thankful that I had the sleeved done, I have no more hunger.
  14. I find myself not tired at all. I try to sleep but its a couple hrs here and a couple hrs there, has anyone have that problem. As far as my hunger goes there is none, weight is coming off , started at 411lbs and now I'm 383lbs. Yesterday I noticed I was irritated at simple things; can't really explain it. But I feel fine now. I'm still sore but it gets better each day. I hope who ever reads this that you are doing better than me. I'm so glad that I got sleeved.... Peace
  15. I have no hunger but like a thirst , I still have pain in the stomach like nausea kind of, I was sleeved the 19. For me this all is easily overcome, I hear some say mind hunger. But from people that had it and like 3 yrs in they said it will pass.
  16. I was wrong, on my discharge papers it said FULL liquids / soft mushy foods.. For 3 wks , sugar free pudding, light yogurt , low fat cream Soups, milk and Protein supplements shakes (then below the paper it said also include foods that are smashable with a fork .. After your posting made me read the main book and it said different .. So I called the Doctor office and she told me not to do that again.. I'm was confused and I hope I didn't lead anyone in the wrong direction.. Now I hope I didn't cause damage to my self .... Sorry
  17. It's 2am and I'm up can't sleep, I feel so thursty but I'm bloated
