I love dr. Smith. He did my sleeve. Nothing but praises here!

My mom is very supportive and happy for me. She has been considered the surgery but we have a different ways of looking at food. I always enjoyed food but never looked to it for emotional support. I would eat to relieve boredom but not to fill some aching void. She knows and admits to having an emotional reliance on food and so keeps asking me like I'm going to change my mind. She has had her first couple of appts with the Doctor but I recommended several sessions with the psychologist on staff to delve into why she views food in such a way. But my success so far has made her consider making drastic changes and that is all I can hope for!

My mom asks me all the time if I regret it. And my answer has not changed. No. A thousand times no. I have lost 110 lbs since March 18th. My only regret is not doing it when I was younger and didn't have as much to lose. I still have 100 lbs to go but it's possible now. It was hard right after surgery because of all the restrictions but now I'm out I still eat my protein first and whatever else after. But if a meal comes up I can't do that I enjoy what I'm having because it's only a few ounces. I have more energy than I have ever had. Give yourself a chance to heal. It's amazing on the other side.

Yeah my nut said no to the protein shakes. So I'm back to protein first. Found out fast I haven't stretched my sleeve and i am down 7 lbs. just back to basics!!

I had the same Dr and mine was done on 9/28. I live in Fort Worth. love dr smith!!

Was wondering the same. If you ever expect to get down full size meals that's not going to happen. I eat 3 oz of meat and a few bites of something else.

Thx ladies. I've actually found java pro protein powder. It's my new addition lol. I have it in the mornings instead of Starbucks. The caramel is so good.

My husband just tried the phood and really liked it.

Sure it's possible. More difficult but possible. There are plenty of organic plant based protein supplements out there. I'd go to my local health store (love my central market) and buy some samples to see what tastes best to you.

Ok so I'm in a bad stall. I was sleeved March 18th, and have lost about 105 lbs. I'm stoked but in. Almost two months it's been at a stand still. I know it's my diet. I'm sneaking in bigger portions and more carbs. Eating sugar again. Starbucks. So much Starbucks. So I am starting back on liquid protein shakes for breakfast and lunch, then a lean dinner. Any other advice for me on what helped you get back on track? Also going to get back to the gym. Do you think three shakes a day would be ok? Thanks in advance!

That's awesome

Just wanted to share a before and after. Before pic is from Christmas - 378 lbs. Other pic is today- 288 lbs. 5 months ago yesterday I started my preop diet. I couldn't really see the difference until I look at these. Crazy!!! And ignore the dirty bathroom. ????
