sleevinIT

Hey guys... Im from New York. And I have my vsg with Dr. Ren of Nyu Dec 13, 2013..since that time I have really only lost about 50lbs. And slowly but surely you can see the weight creeping back on. I am always hungry... And even sometime when I'm not hungry I still want to eat. At this point I have been to the surgeon and she told me I am the only person whom she has ever operated on that hasn't lost much. Which hurt my feelings... ALOT! So since then I haven't gone. I know most of you will say u need to still go to your appointments but I can't face more embarrassment. My brother had a sleeve June 28,2014 and is more than 100 lbs out. I don't know what to do.. Where to turn... And I feel as if I'm loosing to food once more!! I would love to hear any advice that you guys may have for me. Thank you! Have a great day!!

I will definitely message u with any questions

For me, definitely Protein Bars. I have to not buy them because it is way too easy to eat 2 at a time.

Im gonna try tracking my calories again...and put more effort into it..

Well at just a little over a month out as well and I definitely feel your pain...I have no tolerance for milk or anything of the sort.... one day I had some milk and that night I was in so much pain I thought I was gonna die. It woke me up several times that I went to my surgeon the nxt day because I thought I might have had a leak...I was scared to eat anything but it was a false alarm...also I am not loosing anything...I cut out carbs and all the tgings I slowly added to my diet after lik 3 weeks post op and im stuck at 220.....well atleast thats what my scale says.. at the doc in 228...so something isnt right if im 228 that will mean I only lost 9lbs since surgery day...and thats a major problem...im so stressed sometimes...its so hard to deal...I probably really should have thoughg long and hard about this ill never be the same again... it bothers me sometime... im hoping for my 19th bday I hit the 100 mark..I started at 252 so if I could b 152 ill b so feggin happy!!

Im gonna try tracking my calories again...and put more effort into it..

Seruously??gumy worms made her gain it all back?... thats crazyy I refuse to get back to 252 my surgeon tells me that it is possible..in really trying by working out everyday but this really is hard.. tracking was really never my thing so its really hard to track what im eating cuz I hate putting in everything that I eat...recently I got this bad back pain its so excruciating I dont think imma work out until it feels better...thank you ao mucg for that word...and just like u said that you said u think about the girl nd the gummy worms and that she is your motivation for eating right...ill let that be mine to...I have to have some sort if discipline....also do u have and ingredient for tilapia?

Vets it will b nice to here from u..im tryna get to that 100lbs marker for my 19th bday which is july 22nd... any advice!!???

Tracking is key because it not only shows you your calories but your Protein, carbs and fat. All of which is important. How can you possibly know if you are meeting your goals for Protein if you are not tracking from the start. If you want to be successful you have to make these changes. Don't waste this precious time to take off the weight. And remember even if you exercise every day its not going to make any difference if you eat more calories than your body is burning. Good luck to you and keep visiting this site. It is a wealth of knowledge and support.

Even writing it down in a notebook could be valuable as it keeps you accountable. It's easy to eat a bite here a little something there, and forget about it but those calories add up. Looking at those who are successful years out from surgery they all have one thing in common they track their food everyday.

Anyone else do this? I find myself putting the next bite in my mouth way too early and i end up making myself overchew that next bite like 100x before swallowing (to slow myself down)? My family has no idea whats going on but i feel like such an undisciplined buffoon!

Greek yogurt turns me into an acid spitting dragon.

Guys im gonna do a video of the day and put it on youtube.....I have videos on my channel already about my journey thus far so if u guys are really worried check those videos out ill try and catch everything down to me being pushed in to the OR I hope the videos help andrelax your mind about the surgery....if your intrested in checking the ones that I have thus far my name on youtube is SleevinIT same like on here....good luck yall

Well december family my surgery Is on saturday!!!! So much emoitions is going thru my head....say a prayer for me....I made this thread so we december sleevers could be in touch im just happy its being put to use:-* love u guys!!!!

I didn't ask a Max..I'm sure you probably shouldn't take it to the Max..I did advise him that I had a training session and it would include weight machine circuits/strength training...and he was perfectly fine with it..keep in mind everybody is different..my surgeon is the associate professor of surgery at Duke..he was in and out in 45 min....minimal pain afterwards and my scars are teeny...having said that I have 100% faith in his medical opinion..but by no means do I do any major lifting that I wouldn't have been able to handle prior to surgery..just enough to be a little sore the next day...

So hey guys it has been almost 4 weeks since I had my sleeve and I can honestly say life almost getting back to normal..I just wanted to know how u guys are holding up?? I have lost 30lbs already and I do feel different.. any goods? Bad? Regrets??? Let me in on it...any food tips?? I would love to know

Not trying to be bossy..motherly instinct you know sets in.....Yes if nothing else drink that as well...Does it say on the bottle anywhere that it helps with dehydration......Use it...Sure but find a way to get some G2 as soon as you can girl....If i were there I would get it for you.....sorry to be so pushy hun!
