I am 5'3. Starting weight 227. I feel fantastic, I have lost 49.5 pounds and have recently started a hard core fitness class at my gym 5-6 times per week. I drink at least 60grams of Premier Protein per day, follow my diet plan and consume my Vitamins. My problem? A "friend" had a sleeve done early Nov. I saw her for the first time last night. She asked how much weight I had lost, and I stated, "50 pounds." She then said, "Are you happy with that??" I stated, "Yes, I am an over achiever and ahead of the game." UGH! How rude!! Am I losing appropriately?? My "Friend" just started eating "food" and does not supplement Protein. How can not let comments like that bother me?? I think I am doing well.

Hi ladies, I am also 6-7 weeks out. I lost a pound this week. I have followed my diet to a "T". I am also a RN, and I work in the OR. I went back after 9 days. It seems we just need to persevere and press on. Good luck.

I was sleeved 9/25/14. I have lost 35 pounds so far. Looking for a mentor. I am 5'3 and have 65 pounds to go. Thanks. Melanie

I feel the same way also. I have lost 1 pound in 1 week. Total 35. I am feeling discouraged and frustrated. Thanks for the comments. I do feel "slimmer" and people are noticing I "have lost a lot of weight". Persevere. We can do this!

Clothes off... Once a week... Sunday morning ...

Looking for Kosher Protein Powder. Any ideas.
Thanks

I wish I had the surgery years ago. I have battled with my weight for 10+ years. I am 3 weeks post op and have lost 24 pounds. I finally am started to feel like myself again, it is not only the weight loss, but the hope I have to use this great tool and be healthy again. I do not regret the surgery. Follow your nutritional plan and your doctor's advise and you will do great! Good luck!

Helllo fellow September Sleevers! I had my gastric sleeve and hiatal hernia on 9/25. I have lost 23 pounds and counting! I feel fantastic.

Hi there. I am a RN in the OR and I had my sleeve 9/25/14. I work in the hospital where I had the surgery. I picked everyone in the room (a plus when you work in the OR), but I was apprehensive. Totally normal. Focus on the end result. For me, it is the reality I will wear shorts in the spring. Pre surgery I went to Sam's and stocked up on Premier chocolate Protein Shakes. 30g/110z. I planned out what i would be doing after surgery. I did great and so will you. I went back to work 10/6/2014. I feel fantastic. No hunger, and no thirst. I use my timer and a shot glass to get my protein/fluids in. Good luck!
