African American Sleevers

I'm in VA!

Yes support makes a difference.

And no they don't understand. People think this is the easy route but this feel like the hardest thing ever. My mind has not caught up with my lil ole sleeve yet. Just a few minutes ago I forgot about it and reached for my diet snapple tea (the best) and gulped it down like I was normal. After that I said holy crap what the heck did I just do lol. But I'm happy I had a moment that I forgot because I've had a ruff day lord knows. And it felt good for a second to feel normal even though my sleeve brought me back to reality fast.

Mochax it sounds like you are doing great. You are learning about life being sleeved. Your sister is probably dealing with her own issues related to you being sleeved. She maybe unsure how it's going to play into your relationship. I suggest you just take this day by day. I am not an expert. However, I have learned that being sleeved is working for me. I am changing my life and increasing my happiness over all. Give yourself a break and remember this not another diet. Change takes time.

Ralphs/Kroger sell a brand called CarbMaster. Really low in sugar and good taste if you don't get too wild with flavors (I don't like super sweet yogurt, so carrot cake yogurt is just a big old no).

I picked up the Carbmaster carrot cake and I will not do that again. To me it tasted too much like carrots. The spice cake one was delish though. I will definitely stick with the Carbmaster. I have to see if they have it in Greek yogurt. The vanilla goes good with my homemade granola bars.

Yes Constipation can slow your loss. Increase your Fiber with flax or chia or a supplement. I use co lace here and there to "move things" and I always see a drop after that.

My husband is still in Barbados (the Bim) waiting for my return. He is telling me all the healthy foods he will prepare for me. I just don't know how I am going to pass up pudding and souse but Simon (my sleeve name) will make sure I do. Lol

It will be hard but it can be done. with your hubby willing to prepare healthy foods for you, maybe he can make a healthier pudding for you as well. It is good that you have that support especially the support of a cook.

What state are you in ? I don't have a support system neither don't really know anyone where I live I totally understand where ur coming from and as far as having an audience oh boy do I understand there's so much that I have to say and don't really want to bring anyone down ,and I've been hungry a lot more and I want real food I'm craving the bad stuff and it really suck,but I really believe that its a mental thing try not to weigh yourself for a couple of days try busying urself with something else it easier said than done I know so good luck and like they said were all here for each other

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
