    volfan got a reaction from NCL04321 in Over 50 sleevers   
    6 yrs out. Highest weight 412lbs, 11 months later told to stop losing at 237lbs. I hover within 10lbs of there 6 yrs later. Men lose faster and more, but I had a steady lose of 20 to 25lbs a month. I had surgery at 51

    volfan got a reaction from Shanna NYC in Pain after surgery?   
    6 yrs out, highest weight 410lbs 1 year after surgery Dr told me to stop losing at 235lbs. I had zero pain. In fact, when I came through, I asked doctor if my liver was to fatty, and he laughed and told me I was all done. I got up and took a walk around the hospital floor with him. I had gastric sleeve. I had zero complications. I hope the best for you all. My secret for keeping it off, I hover from 235 to 245lbs... I ask myself am I eating to live or for fun. It helps me

    You can go back to stage one, and try marching in place during commercials. It is amazing what a one week stage 1 reset does for your body, also have the same eating and drinking, and sleeping schedule it can break a pose, good luck. 6 yrs out I hover with in 10lbs of weight I was told to stop losing at. If I catch myself 10lbs over, I do this and wham I can lose it in a week. Everybody is different, but it works

    Cherries have no Protein, chicken was mine. I am 6 yrs out and still live by a rule, 10grams protein for 100 calories or no. I ask myself if I am eating for fun, or to live. food is not a major enjoyment anymore. I don't even bring junk food like chips into my home.
    Try to eat fresh veggies and fruit, but only after I have my protein and Water in, and then in moderation. I don't find food rewarding myself, I find it losing where I have won

    2 million buck! I love that statement.

    Talking about money how you all like saving the extra money you used to spend on going out to eat?

    I think my bill will go down 1k a month at the minimum.

    Ok will be 4 yrs july 11, I went from 405 to 229 in 12 months. Doc said I could stop at 245, but i hit lower as 220 was my goal. I have maintained 230 to 240 since. I drink with food, it doesnt bother me, and fact started doing it at 8 months. I noticed 1) it seemed to push food, some, through pouch faster. I also noticed I can eat more than I could after 2 yrs and doc said you lose feeling that is is backing up in esophagus. Which is true, and if you throw up you can easily choke, so dont. But 3 slices of a large thin crust pizza is my limit, so that is my experience with that. Nuts, raw veggies sit in pouch for a long time, and only think I cant eat is cabbage, it gives me terrible heart burn. Water is hard as I forget to eat or drink until 7pm a lot. I never desire too, but have a bad habit from before of snacking while watching tv, and i have chips and drink water with, all chips and bread seems to stsy in pouch a long time. I mainly eat Protein and a carb, i take BariLife Multivitamins 6 a day and blood work is slways perfect. 2 insulin 6 shots a day stopped at surgery and still diabetes is at bay. hair lose happened, but as a guy, not that bad and similar to 2 brothers. Skin was an issue but it shrinks more yearly, strangely body morped is still going on for me, shorts that fit at same wait, didnt last ur, but this year they do. I never had a butt, but now I do, and waist has gone from 54 to 36, but up to 38 and fown to 34depending on yr lol. I can drink booze like I dud before, just can't chug a hole 12 glass. I can drink 64 oz of water in 15 minutes no problem, so I think the water think is to keep your pouch fuller long term but very important fitst yr. Dehydration is no joke, so I stay up drinking water if I haven't finished my 64 oz jug for day or 4 16 oz water bottles plus I like apple juice, which I mix with 3x as much water in my jugs. But tonight I realized I was 32oz short so I did. The last 2 yrs have really dedicating the water rule after dehydration happened twice, not fun. I also use syntex nectar and sugsr free Walmart drink mix for my water bottles. Drink booze stopped my weight lose for a,week when I drank at 9 months. I notice now I will gain a few pounds for a few days after drinking booze, I don't much, but not sure if it is extra liquid or my guess, it messes bodies system and weight and digestion are really a rhythm. If I eat 3 meals and 2 Snacks I lose weight, if I eat once, I gain so find your systems happy spot. I do best with a breakfadt, proteain drink lunch maybe just water, a dinner with carbs and protein, and cheese or a snack about 9, and then water until bed. Life is dimple as I live alone. When company comes and stay I eat with them and cook, thinks Zi just wouldnt normally eat. But that 5 lbs drops fadt after they leave, so you couples have it rough. I just don't buy bad idea food for me.

    Why do people harp on what other's have, or get? Seriously, the world isn't about you or being fair to you. I am sure if she gets government assistance you wouldn't want to trade places with her! In a better world we would all have government insurance and insurance rip off companies couldn't screw any of us, but as long as the "me, mine" attitude is all we care about, instead of caring for the "least of our brothers" we will get screwed. Divide and concur and fear is what keeps the insurance CEO's and drug companies super rich.

    volfan got a reaction from Navigating the Wilderness in Sleeve vs bypass   
    almost 8 months out and over 150lbs down. I had the sleeve done. I was diabetic type 2. I took 8 pills for it and 2 types of insulin usually about 8 injections a day. It was ridiculously expensive! I had considered surgery 6 yrs ago, but the surgeon was right at 400lbs and would only do ryn. I felt like he was a car salesman. He had done very few sleeves and seems forces all his patients into ryn. I questioned him for not having the surgery himself...he was truly bigger than me. I backed out. It was the best decision for me.
    6 years later I decided I couldn't do this anymore and when I went to see a different doctor, thank God, he was totally fine with my decision and reasons for wanting the sleeve. I have personally seen too many people put the weight back on and be in poor health from the ryn. It is a tool not a cure, both surgeries are. However, for me, not having known anyone who had done the sleeve personally, and studying the procedures and what I really needed personally as a tool from the surgeries, the sleeve was the right choice for me. I was 51 when I had the surgery done. All the people I knew who had surgery to help them with weight were younger, and when we get older we really appreciate another chance at being healthy! I knew I could be successful where they had failed because I was doing this to stop killing myself! I won't go back to celebrating with food and drinks and the culture for my isn't as celebrating oriented.
    Having said all that...it is a choice for each of you but please know I was right at 400lbs. I stopped taking all insulin and medication for diabetes a week presurgery. All my blood work is great, I am no longer diabetic at all...according to my doctor. my blood pressure is 97 over 62. a1c is 4.8 I am 235 as of this morning. I was beign eater. I would stuff myself once a day. The absence of hunger and craving was what I needed. I was terrified about malabsorbtion, and having massive parts of organs in my body that just don't function...intestines. I am scared of zombie take over and not finding Vitamins lol.


    I averaged 15lbs a month pretty much every month so far. I am 10lbs away for doctors goal weight for me...225 and 6ft2. My goal was 250. I have some loose skin but it seems to tighten up when I am not looking and doctor thinks I will have very little. At 6 months I was passed 60% excess weight lose, which I they wanted me for a year out! I have made myself sick 3 times eating more than I could handle...never again that hurt and felt too terrible to ever do again, and honestly I enjoy eating just what body needs, I love not eating stuff that isn't good for me because it doesn't fuel me...no desire for foods lol
    So, everybody should know as much about the surgery they choose as their brains will handle. For me the ryn was not something I think I could wrap my brain around and the sleeve d logical and not drastic. That is for me. Losing slowly is supposed to be better for shrinking skin, and muscle tone. Both surgeries work for diabetes. Anyway hope my story helps. I have only one regret that I didn't do it 10 years earlier, but you have to be ready, most that fail...fail for that reason

    volfan got a reaction from Inner Surfer Girl in Cousin has Medicaid and was approved immediately   
    Why do people harp on what other's have, or get? Seriously, the world isn't about you or being fair to you. I am sure if she gets government assistance you wouldn't want to trade places with her! In a better world we would all have government insurance and insurance rip off companies couldn't screw any of us, but as long as the "me, mine" attitude is all we care about, instead of caring for the "least of our brothers" we will get screwed. Divide and concur and fear is what keeps the insurance CEO's and drug companies super rich.
