Milestone reached!!

Since having the sleeve surgery July 1, I have now lost 105 lbs. (340-235). Many thanks go to this forum and it's members for the information and testimonies that helped me make the decision to have the sleeve surgery. To say that I am glad that I had surgery and love my sleeve would be an understatement. Thanks again!!! :)

I am male, 38, and from NC. I was "sleeved" July 1 by Dr. Rodriguez in Juarez at Star Medica. I have been very lucky. My recovery was quick and I have never had problems getting in enough Water as some have. After going back on solid food, I have not had any problems eating anything. I have never had any problems with "taste" as some has had. Luckily for me everything still tastes the same.

I am pleased with my weight loss to this point, but I probably would have lost more if I had keep my Protein intake up. I try to eat food high in protein when I eat but have not been getting enough. I just got tired of the shakes. I still have one occasionally or a Protein Bar but have not been doing it daily, as I should.

I have been taking PPI's since surgery and am trying to get off of them due to possible side effects. I have not taken one in almost a week and don't seem to be having any problems other than feeling that I need to eat more often. The PPI's do seem to suppress the appetite.

I will be happy to answer any questions. Thanks goes to everyone who have helped me along the way with posts and testimonies from this forum.

First off congrats your stats are amazing. Good for you.

Secondly I stopped my PPI's about 2 weeks ago and I have noticed I am hungry more often and wondered if the PPI could actually help control my appetite, I think I need to go back on the PPI's at least until I reach goal. Anyone else have info to support this theory for me?
