  1. I'm 5'8 and everyone tells me I look skeletal at 180 I'm still 219 so have about 40 lbs to go but then again all my family is hefty so their judgment is skewed lol
  2. You need to have your meds adjusted see you doc ASAP
  3. I continue to read about bogies.. I'm a revision and my surgeon doesn't use them he uses the scope as measuring gauge I thought that was interesting
  4. I give myself weekly B12 shots it really helps out
  5. Hilarious I want some samoas now.. mmm wait maybe some thin mints too
  6. It becomes too much when you're constipated yeah one of the sideffects of too much protein
  7. I have lost 35.66% of my excess body weight in 3 months I was sleeved on 11/6/12.. I'm super stoked.. I'm going to continue drinking lots of water, protein first then veg and little cabs oh and yeah excersize my a$$ off
  8. Amazing I've started to jog I like reading success stories like yours keeps me motivated
  9. I was 19 plus lbs when I left the hospital give it some time
  10. You mean grams of protein right? Do a google search there are protein calculators that will tell you how many grams you need according to your weight I'm sure your requirements have changed now that you weigh 70 lbs less
  11. Ok I must have missed the plenty of water part. Sounds like your doing an excellent job congrats
  12. Sounds like you have it figured out if this is working for you and you can live like this then go at it.. As long as all that protein isn't causing intestinal distress then I guess you'll be ok. When do you get your water in? seems like your whole day revolves around food and protein drinks.
  13. What are you eating if you are drinking so many calories? At 5 months out you should be eating lean proteins and veggies I'm 3 months out and I eat everything. Try weaning yourself off of the shakes and get some solid protein in.
  14. I have had no issues at all I can eat about 4 oz of food at a sitting. no problem with solid food and I do better with it actually. Keeps me full for a longer time. Are you drinking your acid reducing meds at least 30 minutes before you eat? I recently stopped taking the acid reducing meds but I'm thinking of getting back on them, having an acidy stomach makes me feel hungry. Don't want to have to graze to get that fake hunger sensation satiated. I'm seeing Dr Burch on Wednesday morning going to ask him to prescribe something other than Prilosec. Have you ate any solid foods yet? Maybe the protein shakes aren't agreeing with you?
  15. Nice to meet you I'm also a revision Dr Cuneen did my port revision and Dr Burch did my sleeve I'm almost 3 months out keep in touch
  16. Sorry to hear that.. Hope you're felling better drink up
  17. Unflavored protein powder isn't really unflavored lol it tastes gross IMO
  18. Make it yourself omit the tahini and add geek yogurt instead
  19. Blood clots are a complication and it can happen to anyone if your risk outweighs your rewards then it might be worth it. In the end only you can make that decision
  20. Drink lots of water before you weigh in and have a. Salty meal the night before you'll be ok
  21. They taste really good in lemonade add them to your lemonade let them sit overnight you'll be ok
  22. How much is he charging you if you don't mind me asking ?
