No drain here but everyone is different

Thanks everybody! It's amazing the amount of support these forums provide and truly a driving force for me throughout this process. <3

The last 3 weeks and 8lbs have been the hardest. I never thought I'd see this magical place called onederland again. Prior to my surgery, I gave myself a goal to be in onederland by 6 months post-op but I'm ECSTATIC to say just 10 days short of my 5mth post op and just in time for my bday, I have arrived! Sorry if I sound too crazy or overly excited but it's been a tough journey of 15+ years. In addition, I feel as though you all are the only ones that can understand the struggle & excitement that even a 2lb weight loss is for me. Especially after just 3 days ago a friend of mine who I thought was supportive of this process said this surgery was "the easy way out." My blood boiled but it only gave me more motivation to be better and stronger. I did this for me not them! Highest weight: 282lbs Pre-op weight: 268.4 lbs Current weight: 199.4 lbs

I was told never again. I too had little to no effect with Tylenol and used only Advil liqui gels but now I use the extra strength Tylenol rapid release and they work just as well as the Advil. I would call your surgeon.

That's awesome! Congratulations!!!

Good Luck!!

Sorry but someone else took them already

Body Fortress Super Protein

I had the exact same issue. I went to Walmart and bought the shots which are only about 3oz and they have 27 grams of protein. And a box of six would run you about $9 if you order it online to pick up at the store it is a couple of bucks cheaper. Good Luck!

12 VIALS?! OMG that sounds like a lot. I only have 4 taken when I go. Well it's part of the process I guess. That is awesome, 48lbs! Nevermind your BMI!!! That is amazing. I can't wait for my BMI to be on the normal range as well. Not quite there yet but one step at a time. I wish you the best of luck and continued success on the WL!!

It's weird, every time I "exercise" even just a quick walking the dog around the block, the next day I dropped 2lbs. The days I don't exercise, I completely stall. If only it were that simple before surgery, right?! I don't drink anything but Water and diet snapple when I want something different. I also keep to the minimal rule of 64oz of water/64grams of Protein daily my surgeon told me. Other than that I'm not doing anything special.

Msfitn2014 that's awesome! Congrats on that 40 lbs loss. How great do you feel?! I wish you continued success with the sleeve.

Thanks DaddyMarie !! The 66 lbs are from date of surgery. My surgeon didn't require a pre-op diet. Just the 24hours before surgery straight clear liquids.

Sure no problem. Just wanted to let you know since you asked first. Have a good one!

Thank you I appreciate it. Hey idk if you got my message but my hubby said it would be at least $30 prob closer to $40. Let me Know if you want them or you wanna pass. Thanks!
