Picky eater here!!!!! So, I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE sweets... since being sleeved, I cannot tolerate buttery, really sweet things... My taste buds and my tummy don't like it!! I can have chocolate every once and a while (usually during my TOM)... I tried a big spoonful of creme brulee and let's just say... NEVER IN this LIFE or the next!!! My tastes totally changed.. I'm still very picky and try hard to incorporate veggies with each meal.. I don't eat fruit at all.... So, I bought a juicer and try to juice 3/4 times a week... You really won't know until after your sleeve heals and you've tried different foods.. Getting sleeved was one of the best decisions I ever made in my life!!!

Sending thoughts of peace, a speedy recovery and flawless surgery towards you guys!!!! YEAH!!! You're almost there!!!

That's awesome.. The key is definitely finding a variety of foods to eat, so you won't get bored.. Congrats!!!

So, I basicly eat Protein for 80% of my meals and the rest is veggies, very few carbs at all. .(an occasional popcorn or cookie treat)... Lately I've been have some strange pressure in my kidney area (seeing my doctor next week)... When I eat more carbs (like this week), it disappears... My urine is kind of foamy, like when I was doing only Protein shakes pre-op... Has anyone else ever experienced this??

90-120g (this includes 40g of supplemental proteins from protein drinks)...

Awesome job!! Congratulations!!!

Congratulations!!! I'm so happy for you!!!!

It's been a little while.... just wanted to check in with you all.. Sleevina and I are having a love/hate relationship right now.. I'm a little stuck as far as weight loss (305)... But, I'm still losing inches!! I wore a size 20/22 dress from Target!!.. I can do so many things that I couldn't do before.. And I think I'm mentally stronger... though, I still get emotional and a little down about not losing massive amounts of weight just yet. The biggest update is that I was accepted into a Doctoral Program at Concordia University-Chicago!!! And 5 classes from my Masters in Educational Leadership will transfer, shortening my program by a year and shaving 10K off of my tuition!!! It's rough teaching, going to school and taking care of ME.. but it's so worth it.. I hope all is well with you guys and that you are enjoying your journey!!!! Love and hugs, Tina

Hey Ladies... Just wanted to report that I had my 1st non-drug induced monthly cycle.. Sept 1-6... A little crampy early on.. but nothing severe enough to require meds... Didn't bleed like a slaughtered pig (though the regular tampons didn't quite work too well day 2 and 3) TMI.. sorry... but, I'm excited and hopefully, my gyn will tell me that I can get my IUD.... I was diagnosed w/ PCOS 10 years ago... I usually have to do a 5-10 cycle of Provera to bleed.. Got a Mirena Feb 2011... didn't have any more periods until this one.. Gyn wanted me to do Provera again, didn't want to .. just prayed and I think my body if finally trying to act normally... Kind of stuck at 305... but, I'm down another size.. wore a size 20/22 dress from Target yesterday!!!

I need to do the same thing... I have tons of stuff...

I feel you!!! I'm so there!!! This week I'm doing Diva's boot camp and I'm planning my meals, super hydrating and journaling to find my triggers.. I'm also making an appointment to see my therapist... I'm 8 months out and not losing like I should.. Granted, I am a slow loser, however I know I'm not working my sleeve like I should.. As far as negative comments, sometimes it's good to take a step back from a public forum and surround yourself with your core people who are supportive, but honest!!

Hey Lady!!! Everybody this is my god-mom!!! She's awesome, wise, beautiful and now SLEEVED!!!!! I love her so much!!!...

I don't see anything wrong with that!!! Do you shop at Costco?? Well, they are for you anyway!!

Yes, I've experienced all of this.. Makes you wonder if these people were friends of yours in the first place or just hanging out with you to make themselves feel better!!!!

Congrats!!!! That's awesome!!! Just know, the NSVs are going to keep coming!!!
