    Lol yeah it's a lot to take in and even more to deal with. I have been called full of it I've been told to eat right and work out to stick to the plan not by docs but by other sleevers. You would think your peers other people who have had it done would support you but most of them like to degrade and belittle you if yours is not working as well as the majorities. There are a few that are Kind understanding but most are down right Nasty and judgmental. I'm reading more and more ppl getting there sleeve redone many as slow as me some that stop loosing or loss 1 lb a month. I just lost 1lb after 3 months of nothing. The sleeve is just a Up in the air crapshoot ATM and a fad it works well for some and not at all for others. I would not say down right don't get it to someone I would more Say take a hard look and a evaluation of your eating habits Before you choose a wls. I wish I knew to do that before I spent the time and money I did on the sleeve.

    There is a rather large difference in 'constructive criticism' and 'obnoxiousness'. We should welcome constructive criticism, as we can learn from each others experiences. The sarcastic and obnoxious comments, however, are uncalled for. This is a support forum, not a 'lets see how much of a douchewaffle I can be to people' forum.

    I think this kind of encouragement of public judgment degration and bullying is unacceptable. Because someone made a bad choice does not give anyone else the right to degrade them in public. There's a difference between being of obnoxious and just being hateful.

    Start my 2wk Pre-op diet tomorrow!! The only guidelines my nut gave me was 1200 calories. I have decided on doing a mostly liquid diet. I got the shakes from dietdirect.com
    They are called Wonder Slim. They are 100 calories per shake and you drink 7 of them per day and 2 - 250 calorie meals. I decided on this so I am not hungry for 2wks! I'm really excited to start! My order arrived today. A little expensive. But, I guess I won't be spending anything on food really. 12 boxes of shakes for $128

    I have not had duck, but I imagine it would be handled well. It should fit in the poultry category, right? My issue would be getting the darn thing tender. I never have been able to cook a duck.

    Hi ladies!! I was considering the sleeve until the last seminar I went to. The surgeon there wasn't a fan bc he said the long term results/data wasn't there and he didn't have confidence in it for, say, 10 years out. May I ask what u all were dissatisfied with in ur sleeves? I'm going to get RNY but was curious about ur experiences.

    I'm a slow loser too I'm 1 yr. post op. started at 216 and I am 163 now. My goal is 140 and it seems like I will never make it. I stick to my surgeon's diet plan, exercise like crazy, jog, walk, run, incline 7 days a week for 1+hours. I also have thyroid issues, I had m thyroid removed 20 years ago and on hormone replacement. I don't know whether that has anything to do with it. I'm a bit frustrated at this point but I cannot eat nearly as much as I did pre-op though.

    I had Rny 2/14 and starting weight was 217, and as of last Friday 191. That is 26lbs in 2 months which is slow!!! My surgery was open with over a 6 inch incision and 5 small incisions in a failed attempted of laparoscopic due to old scar tissue. I have dieted for over 6 yrs with minimal loss so this was it for me at 45 yrs old. I was a slow to get exercising but have started vigorously and increased Protein. I have to work hard for every pound loss even with the surgery, but it is coming off with 800-1000 cal I do a day and at least 70g Protein.
