  1. Sleeved 12/24/2013 - definitely a newbie. This is the one (and only, thankfully) MD recommendation I have some trouble with. I think because my appetite is nil, I will suddenly realize "Crap I haven't had enough Protein today!" Then I will make something happen, being less concerned with timing out 30 mins. Anyone else have thoughts/experiences with this? Could this hinder my ability to drop pounds? Oh gosh...
  2. Sleeved 12/24/2013. Now I have PCOS and taking birth control Sea so unique (4 periods a year). Pre surgery (despite birth control) I had an outrageously irregular period. My obgyn warned me that once I lose significant weight, breakthrough bleeding is likely and my Rx might need adjustment. I am supposed to have a cycle in March and I have been having some breakthrough bleeding - time to call the doc! Hope this helps someone
  3. Hi there. I'm a 20-something female who was sleeved on 12/24/13. I have lost 16 pounds since then. I have insulin dependent diabetes, and a host of other co-morbid issues. Before surgery, years of failed diets and weifht loss atempts, with any moderate success detrimental to my blood sugar. I have been following all the post-op recommendations *religiously*. I am open to anyone's tips, suggestions, and so on. I know everyone is different... but what is something that you feel has propelled your weight loss? I am the type of person who can get frustrated... so I am just seeking support.
