  2. Yes I feel soooo much better. Thanks. Also got another B12 shot today n I can't express the difference in my energy level after. I highly recommend to all can't go wrong with getting one.
  3. This sleeve is working great for me. Best decision I ever made. Still battling the over eating aspect of it but my sleeve let's me know I can't do that. Had a bbq hotdogs is a no go. Hope somewhere down the line it can happen. Love my bbq hotdogs lol. Pcp say I'm doin great. Just wanted to check in n let everyone know I'm doin alright on my journey. Hope everyone is having a great summer.
  4. Oh yeah. I can't describe the enjoyment. Thanks.
  5. Ok had my 5th week post op and that scale at gnc is broken (which I kinda figured) but the great news is I'm down 50 lbs. YES! I feel great. I even went to movies sunday n ate popcorn n that went down ok. Am so excited. N yes I gotta get a scale. Thanks all.
  6. My next post op appt is not until next week. I go to the local gnc to get more protein n one of those smoothie shakes at their smoothie bar those shakes taste great. So upon leaving I steps on their scale 25cent n wala I'm down another 30lbs since my appt than a week before. Now this week same scale says I lost another 10lbs. Now the workers in store say its not accurate cause it tells them they 8 to 10 lbs over weight. Am not getting excited yet will wait to my appt to get accurate weight. If its true am I losing to fast. Certain mushies don't go down to well so I. Still do mostly liquids n protein shakes. So is it rare for someone to lose that much weight in 4 weeks?
  7. N WhoA what difference in my energy level today I feel fantastic today. I haven't felt this much energy since preop but the major difference is I lost 37lbs since surgey and my energy is at a alltime high. Now I get B12 in my multivitamins but shot I got from my pcp was a world of difference for me as far energy is concern. Don't know if anyone suffering from low energy but check in about the b12 shot from your pcp it has definitley helped me.
  8. Thanks everyone. N yes bklyn ladie go yanks. Lol
