    Fullofitx3 got a reaction from UpandAtom in Too much restriction?   
    I'm almost 2 1/2 years out and can only eat around 1000 calories, but it also depends on what I eat, when I stick to dense Proteins I get full fast and stay on track, when I eat junk i can start racking up the calories.

    Fullofitx3 got a reaction from MBP in Any tips on what to drink besides water and suger free koolaid?   
    I like to add the those single serve crystal lights packets to a 32oz bottle of Water so it's not to sweet. I usually get the Walmart great values brand since there like half the price.
    Be careful with the pre made ice teas like Snapple and Arizona, even though there sugar free they have a a lot of preservatives and can stall your success, my wife learned this the hard way when she stopped drinking the weight began dropping again.

    Fullofitx3 got a reaction from ACV in Passing out   
    Thanks for all the replies, Spoke with my surgeon and he seems to think it was "dumping syndrome" which is normally seen in patients that had by-pass,he said even though I had the sleeve some times things go through your system faster and especially sugary food like a big piece of cake,lol. Che feels that I gave myself such a sugar rush that my body couldn't handle the withdraw from it when it "dumped out" thus leaving me flat on floor.
    Still gonna follow up with the cardiologist just to be on the safe side, but for now back to my normal routine with diet and gym and been feeling great.
    Will post update after next dr appointment.

    I'm just over a year out from sleeve surgery, I can't begin to describe the feeling. I'm down to 168lbs and for the first time in my life I have normal BMI, I have never been one to go by what the scale says, it's always been about how I feel both health and look wise, no longer need the cpap machine! went from a size 40/42 waist to a 32 and xxl shirts to large. Some people I haven't seen in a while don't even recognize me at first, I workout daily and feel healthier then when I was a teen / young adult. I still enjoy food, in fact I think I enjoy it more since I take my time and try to make health fresh choices, and yes I still eat some junk from time to time usually just a couple of bites, but I don't get hung up on it (I'm still human). All in all this was the one of the best decisions I have made. I Wish everyone success on their weight loss journey.

    Fullofitx3 got a reaction from downsizingdiva in Feeling unprepared!   
    Every dr is different, also insurance plans also differ, on an previous insurance plan I had you had to be on a supervised diet plan for 6 months along with all of the other approvals, also had to see nurturist 2 along with going to support group. I had so much paperwork from meal plans to pre approvals I thought I was gone drown in it, but almost a year post op I couldn't be happier with my progress, I have truly been blessed and my life has turned around completely.
    Best of luck to you on your journey.

    Just had my 6 month follow up with dr's and still cannot believe how this surgery has changed my life, I went from a high weight of around 285 to 169, size 40/42 pants to 32/33 and med/large shirts not only has my eating and workout habits changed but my outlook on life in general, I love being outside and being active, I enjoy wearing nicer brighter clothes that stand out, there's more of a bounce in my step.
    I'm sorry if I sound like I'm gloating, but by no means was this an easy road to haul, I cut out the social lunches at work and hit the gym instead now a lot of the guys and girls I work with join me in the gym and tell me what an inspiration I am to them, I prepare meals in advance so that I had them on hand and can eat properly and make smarter snack choices, I've had the full support of my loving wife and children who keep me motivated. I feel like I'm riding on cloud 9.
