Thank you.

Thank you all for the advice. Can I drink more water than that 60 ounces and my calorie goal is 1000. Is that too much or too little.

Hi folks I had surgery October 15 , 2015. I've lost some weight but not what I thought I would by now. It's definitely slow for me. I have a problem with cafeinted drinks and good food. Can anyone please help me with these areas. ? I drink roughly 120 ounces of water daily n try to eat right Any help would be greatly appreciated. I can't figure out my serving sizes and all of that. Thank you And God bless Will

Howdy everyone. I'm Will D and I'm From Maryville,TN ( east TN & BIG ORANGE COUNTRY!!....

Thank you. Yea I'm not ready for it nearly yet either and I'm Not loosing much but hopefully it's not ruined or anything.

Hey folks. Just wondering if anyone has had their insurance pay for skin removal. ? Would enjoy any thoughts Thanks Will

Protein target is 80-100 grams daily. But when I get to about 50 I have a full feeling. It's not fun so I don't force myself to eat. Plus I drink about 130-140 oz of water daily. Try my best to at least. I'll talk to them about that tho. Thank you

Thanks Tish67

Very inspirational and thankful For your post @Dub. Thanks to everyone else who commented too

I had Humana when I had my sleeve surgery. They paid all of the cost except for my copy of $200 for in patient hospital stay. Highly think you'll get approved. Have faith my friend. God is great, he will care for you.

Thanks for all the advice friends. I know I can do this but it's really hard for me for some reason. Just need a lot of prayer. Really not thinking insurance will pay for a second surgery. I need to get with the program and I will do that. How much do y'all think I should have lost by now. I had surgery in October 15

I wasn't told exactly to take vitamins so haven't been doing that very much. I'm gonna look some up and start that

I sure will. Thank you

Thank you for the advice. I do that stuff. Just not right I guess

Hey there fellow sleevers, My name is Will. I had the sleeve surgery on October 13,2015. I weighed 429 I believe day of surgery. I weight 376 now presently. I did fine with the purée stage and all of that. I try my best to work out and Eat right. I don't know if I'm just gonna have to loose the weight slowly according to my body. But I'm really upset I haven't lost more. I know it's no quick fix but I am trying hard. I don't know if I need to start vitamins and protein shake back or what. I eat the stuff I want but it much smaller portions. Anyone pls pls help me. I don't wanna gain it all back. I'm just depressed and gotta find a way to make this help me and not hurt me. To help y'all help me better I'll answer some of your ?s. I don't record my food intake every day. I have a Fitbit h r and try to track it on there , I don't do protein shakes like I should. I did well at the beginning. I do walk and go to the gym pretty regular. Roughly 6500-7500 steps daily. I have sweet cravings from time to time but don't eat all of the bad etc. I know I can do this and so I just have to put my mind to it. Thanks again for the help and letting me vent Will

Hello Fellow Sleevers , My name is Will. I had my surgery on October 13 last year and have a couple questions. 1,) how long does it usually take to get your energy back in your life. ? 2.) what protein shakes have y'all come to like and enjoy. ? I've kinda gotten off the path of the protein shakes and am Thinking if I got back on those my energy might come back. 3.) I am down 40 pounds almost and I know I have a long way to go till I am where I want to be scale weight wise. I am just curious as to what the requirements for skin removal surgery. ? I'm starting to get a little sagging skin and don't like it. Any suggestions to these ?s would be greatly appreciated. God bless and best of luck to all of you Will

Ok thanks to all. I had my surgery on 10/13/15 I'm on pretty much anything now by Drs orders. I'm eating pretty good for my new self and I'm excercising Just not seeing weight loss like I thought I would. I've been drinking a ton of water if that helps

Hey friends , how would I know if I've ruined my sleeve and it's not gonna be effective any more for me ? I need to get with the program I know. I've gotten off my protein shakes and it's messing w me bad. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Hey gang. Has anyone had any experience drinking Diet drinks after surgery ? I'm a month out on Thursday and I'm starting to suddenly crave diet mt dew again. I don't want to hurt my sleeve or process any more than I might have all ready w my eating :-( just looking for suggestions or advice. Thanks gang Will

Thanks for the tips

Thank you. Believe me I don't want pain. I'm just all out of whack n not sure y I'm gaining.

Hey folks I'm a month out from surgery as of 11/13/15 and when I started eating the different phases as I progressed after surgery when I would eat too much I would get a sharp pain in my diaphragm as food went down. I knew I needed to stop eating when it hurt but my concern now is I don't have that pain anymore so I'm worried that I've stretched my sleeve:-( I'm not loosing weight as much as I was at the beginning. I go back to my surgeon this Thursday. Any advice would be appreciated greatly. Thanks. Really have hit a hard wall now n need help

Hey gang I'm almost a month out n have had no caffeine since surgery but am starting to get the cravings for it again. What r your alls thoughts on doing that ? Much appreciated as always. Will PS I'm down about 26 pounds since surgery on 10/13/15.
