  1. It may hurt? I dont really know I just know what I dont chew really good hurts and sometimes is rejected.
  2. I saw that video and it was so helpful.
  3. Ours has a Smoothy Bar right by the dood. None of them are under 200 calories with tons of sugar! AUGH!
  4. Good for you! My family and friends react th same way. I constantly say ... No i cant go with you to the Pizza place, Long John Silvers etc. their answer ... You eat so little what does it matter? Augh. I am like you, it cannot be in my house!
  5. Thank you all for such great posts. I did this because I have yoyoed so much it was destroying my body. i want to be healthy.
  6. Today! I am six weeks out. Given the go ahead for anything I want.
  7. My mom is my biggest cheerleader. I have not told my Dad yet.
  8. Im 6 weeks out and i usually eat 1/2 cup oatmeal with fresh blueberries or 1/2 cup egg whites with cheddar cheese and mushrooms. 1/2 cup of tuna made with FFmayo or sliced turkey with salsa 3 oz chicken, cod, shrimp, or ground turkey with some green beens, or broccol I tried salad=ouch not again for a while. I liked something I heard or reAd that we should chose 21 days out of the year to do as we choose. The rest we eat as nutritionally as we can. But I did this to get healthy, so I need to work the sleeve the best I can, while LIVING.
  9. Mine said 6 weeks. Im not much of a drinker and being type 2 diabetic I really shouldn't. I like the idea of moderation in all things.
  10. I am so sorry you re having a bad time right now. I too have reflux and it has gotten better. I will be sending healing thoughts your way.
  11. Onderful! I will be joining you soon. I am 203 right now. My birthday is next Friday and I really want to be there by then.
  12. I read as much as I could about all 3 options. My decision came down to this. I didn't want for an object my body so no lap band and I also thought the idea of messing around with my small intestines was nasty from what I read about bypass a lot of the negative was the malabsorption of nutrients and so I decided I want to keep my small intestines just limit the size of my stomach so sleeve it for me I'm now almost 6 weeks out I still do get hungry but nothing near as bad as I used to I am cutting down on high blood pressure medicines on type two diabetes medicines and I have so much energy I love my energy.
  13. Getnhealthy. As my user name says. Healthy means energy to walk the dogs, clean the fridge , work. I love my energy.
  14. I went through them, had Dr. hollis, my insurance would not cover my sleeve but covered my herrnia. So im paying them 6900. I liked the dr. And the nurses were fantastic. I was the only sleeve on my day so I got to stay in their surgey center by myself with 2 nurses over night. It was 1 st class service. But i feel like ive been cheated out of a lot. I never met with a nutritionist, i has blood work and a ERG and thats all the preop they did. And the post op has been minimal to say the least.
  15. Im shocked about the ice cream also. I was on clear liquids for a week and no milk products for a month. Try Sugar free popsicles.
  16. Ive been averaging 600-650. I am only 6 weeks out. I concentrate on protein. I lose more if i get plenty. Congrats on the loss.
  17. Honestly, yes. The 1st month was awful but now I am able to drink my Fiber it is better.
  18. Great thread. I have been type 2 for 2 1/2 years now. I am 5 almost 6 weeks post surgery. I had blood drawn Friday and go in next friiday to discuss. I am hoping that some of the meds will go. I am on Metformin (1000 twice a day) and Januvia (100mg in the am) and I am down now to 1/2 my HBP meds. I have cut down my Metformin at night to 500 because I was waking up jittery with a low sugar of 55 3 days in a row. Since cutting it in half I am waking up to a fasting 70. My BP on 1/2 is 95/60. So hoping to drop that soon. Losng almost 40 lbs these last 2 months has been nice but I did this to be healthy
  19. Wow you look great. Advice for thoses of us newbies? Im 6 weeks post surgery and having some doubts.
  20. My craving has not stopped either. I really crave carbs. So i avoid at all cost.
  21. Wonderful. You look so pretty in all the pictures. But Wow your a hottie now!!
