Not everyone loses at the same rate so try not to dwell on that. I do suggest when you eat focus on your protein and water first and foremost. Your protein intake may be part of your problem. Good luck.

Thanks.

Woo Hoo! Catching up to me Dawn. It is me Jill.

Never heard of whey shots. Where do they sell it?

It will. You go girl. Last night I did well at Ruby Tuesday shocked my family. I am down 38 lbs! I ordered the tilapia baked for sides zucchini and salad. At the salad bar took very little salad more like a taste, ham chunks and a taste of waldorf salad. I ate 3 bites of the fish and brou home leftovers. My journey began July 11

Queencity I was Sleeved July 11 it is not that risky. You will be fine and healthy. Once it is over your family will see you have made the right choice for you. My family was concerned yet supported my decision. Hang in there here for you. Since you are in Buffalo should I meet your family?

Well tomorrow I am to meet my family at Ruby Tuesday's to celebrate my brothers birthday. I feel like its a waste of money for me. It will be my first resteraunt meal since over 6 weeks ago. I like eating at home safer comfort zone.

I do not have the answers for you Queencity however eating when you are supposed to and excercise along with the sleeve as a tool can and will help. As for slow eventually your hard work will pay off. I wish you the best my Buffalo sister.

I try to look at it as getting rid of fat cells. That is an idea however by 7 I still need to drink 20 oz.

On Facebook there is a site called High Protein Foods if you like their page you get good recipes daily.

When I get my water in I find I get up and pee all night long.

I am a Social Worker and work in Children's Services for the County I live in. My days can be very stressful yet rewarding. Some days can be sad as well.

I am on my computer now and just linked myself, thanks.

I clicked on it an it took me to the play store where applications get downloaded. Does it have to be done on computer? Will try. I wish my job could be boring sometimes why I am stretching my leave. Usually so busy no time to eat.

I am on Facebook but not computer savvy either.

I forgot to add my whole process took 4-5 months

Hopefully I am not too late but on the first consult they do your weight, BMI, blood pressure then you meet Dr. Pham. He goes over your options and will answer any of your questions. Then he gives you cards to schedule to meet the dietician, psychiatrist, and personal trainer. I scheduled it all as quick as I can within a month. Once that is done then the letter to your insurance goes out also needed is a letter of necessity from your primary. After you get insurance approval you get a surgery date. The office will give you instructions as you go.

Queen city you are too funny. I live in sunny Village of Sloan.

I do and actually did not throw out the books and cookbooks I gave them to a friend doing the program now. I also purchased new Bariatric cookbooks to replace the ones given away.

I find it cool a lot of us from the Buffalo area. Maybe one day we should all meet up that would be fun.

Sorry yours was rough in the beginning I was sleeved July 11 and doing great. I have not had any nausea only diarrhea the week after for almost two weeks. I have been walking on my treadmill 30 minutes per day and down total of 33 lbs.

Anytime. I am now 4 weeks out and 33 lbs less and happy.
