Congratulations! Your an inspiration and I want to be you already! How motivational!

I love bread pre and post op!. I had it at 8 weeks toasted only. No aide effets. I'm really into have wheat bagels(super toasty) with low fat cream cheese smoked salmon and an over easy egg I eat between 1/2 to 3/4 of it and feel full for hours! I was having bad breath for 8 weeks and it was suggested lack of bread, and since I've been eating it I've been good! Hope that helps

Also I only eat whole wheat or multi grain bread. I had white once and I didn't feel so well after. My NUT says when you do eat bread to only to toasted

In Sparta...getting sleeved 2/9/15 at Holy Name Medical Center by Dr. Vincent Iannace

I'm one of those people that caries their weight well and although it's there I feel like with 15 more pounds it'd be gone. I'm just being impatient

I'm doing 2 days of weight lifting and 2 days of zumba.
I still house my little tire hanging out. Any suggestions?

Well you have 5 days until you can officially use the "new year resolution" as a motive! Along with the other millions of people!

I made an appointment with my surgeon and NUT to ask. But with my primary doctor I'm fine except Vitamin D. Pre op I was deficient with Vitamin D so It wasn't suprising to me

So I take now (since today) a multi, B 12, and Biotin Vitamin.
When I went to the doctors I did blood work and she said I just been more Vitamin D. So I'm gonna add that soon.
But I feel like every picture I see under the gastric sleeve hash tag on instagram everyone seems to be taking so many.
Am I doing something wrong?

Honestly I kind of see it as who am I to judge. I don't know the trials they've been through and there was a doctor somewhere willing to endure the risks of performing this surgery. I've heard through this entire process that I don't really need surgery. Even my therapist and dietician didn't believe me when I told them my weight until they I got on the scale. Then was quickly followed by a "you carry your weight very well". Gee thanks! I think most people in their right mind don't directly go to the route of surgery, such a life altering thing, but have tried and failed at things prior. Additionally, many people have other co-morbidities, that will only become more significant if they are unable to get their weight under control. 50 pounds may not seem like much to lose to somebody who has 200lbs to lose but 50lbs is significant and you don't know how they necessarily carry it either it may appear 50 but really be 75 or so.

I'm a baker! It's one of the hardest thing especially at work with all the temptation and although I have a day where I eat a cookie and a day where I don't eat it at all I wouldn't change it. But flinging the extra good stuff off your hands is one of the most rewarding things!
Now I want a meatball

Yeah my NUT seems to be different then everyone's she says no coffee ever. But everyone's so different. I know I should listen to mine but COFFEE COFFEE COFFEE COFFEE! lol

I'm not like in dyer need of it but I love DD in the morning before work. I'm 7 weeks out when can I revisit my long lost pal?

I'm almost 2 months out and this is my second week of actually going to the gym. I pick times right after work or class because once I'm home I won't leave. Although I do take a 9:30am zumba class and quite honestly idk how I'm getting up for up!
Just think of how much better you'll feel after. And if that doesn't work.
GET YOUR ASS UP AND GO WALK
=)

I had Surgery on 10/22. I was type 2 diabetic.
Long story short... and I made another post about this titled "regrets". I watched my father die of cancer and diabetes. My whole family is large and we are all procrastinators. I decided I wanted to change my potential future. My diabetes is gone. My sleep apnea is gone. My high blood pressure is gone. My food cravings are gone.
All of this happened for me because I had the gastric sleeve.
If you are thinking about it, I can tell you that I'd do it again no problem.
I went to Mexico and had my surgery done for about $4600.00. I only wish I had seen the $3200 special on this site prior to my surgery. I used airline miles to buy my airline ticket.

Good because bad breath is one of my pet peeves! It needs to go! And yeah that also explains the urine smell.
So I guess I should be happy about it.. haha

I joined 2 months before my surgery and never went and then didn't go until week 4 post op but now I'm excited! I'm going 4 days a week 2 days zumba and 2 days body pump which is a toning class. Hope you have fun with it too!!!!

I've tried Isopure, and didn't like it. I got some Genepro-unflavored off Amazon, and it's 40gms of Protein per table spoon. I mixed it in my Water bottle with crystal light peach tea, and I could only taste the peach tea!!! I found the ONE!!!

I used to be hot all the time! Now I am cold. Part of it is I am very anemic so keep those lab appts! I think the other is just a lack of calories. My body is really changing in every way.

14 months post op here in NJ.....you can ask me anything...in this post or in a private message

I am portuguese and hubby is cuban. Trust me I feel your pain.
Potatoe on the portugal side and rice for Cuba.
Was hard at first for hubby. But if you flavor that quinoa he prefers it to rice actually.
I use it with Piccadillo, ropa vieja. "Arroz" con pollo

I'm only 3 weeks post op but I'm here if you need anything!
