    kel2014 got a reaction from elfnow in Sleeved 4/9/2014 Can't get all my water in help!   
    Sleeved 12-3-13 and I struggle with this all the time. I have found that warm/hot liquids go down better. I cannot do icy cold Water or any extremely cold liquid. I do a lot of Soups and I buy bullion cubes. I luv luv chicken broth as crazy as it sounds. But liquids r liquids and any way u get them down is a good thing. I also do sugar free Hawaiian punch packets. They have tons of flavors to choose from, cheap at Walmart. Also, sugar free hot cocoa is great especially when your cold, Swiss Miss is only 25 cal and very good. I hope some of these suggestions help, good luck !

    kel2014 got a reaction from ProudGrammy in Did I stretch my sleeve? Two months post op   
    I got my sleeve on 12-3-13 so I'm 4 mos. out. I remember in the beginning just taking my pills would fill me up. My surgeon assured me my sleeve would loosen up and it did. I eat 6x's a day, small mini meals that r 100-200 cal each. So, in my opinion if your hungry a couple or few hours after your Protein Shake, by all means eat. Have a light string cheese w/ deli ham/turkey wrapped around it ( one of my go to foods ). Remember your stomach is a lot smaller so it's going to empty out faster and u will get hungry. I don't think u stretched your sleeve at all, u just gotta get used to eating high Protein every few hours and trust your body. If it tells it's hungry, eat. The weight will come off trust me, I'm down 58 lbs and couldn't be happier. Good luck to u. ????

    kel2014 got a reaction from Band2Sleever in Tired all the time, anyone else having this?   
    I got my sleeve on 12-3-13. Initially I felt like I was run over by a truck but then I turned the corner and felt better. I've had good weight loss, 52 lbs but I am still tired most of the time. One would think loosing weight would bring more energy but that's not the case. I've been taking all my Vitamins and I give myself B-12 shots. Anyone else experiencing fatigue?

    According to my surgeon it's best to do lab work at the 6 mos. post op. I know I've gotta be deficient in something. I am going to see my PCP so maybe she can do some blood work.

    Alright December Sleevers, I'm hoping that this title brings more people in so we can follow and encourage each other through our journeys.

    I am 40. I'm 5'4" and about 308 right now. I'd like to get to a healthy BMI which would be around 145. I'm hoping for a December 4th or 5th date with Dr. William Johnson.

    Everyone introduce yourselves!
