How Are All The May Sleevies Holding Up?



Recommended Posts

So far my favorite Protein Shake has been the Premier Protein (30g) and only 1g of sugar! They taste much like a Yahoo (when my kids were much younger). Sams carries the chocolate but I understand that costco carries the vanilla as well. (strawberry is available on line). I did bring this in to my Dr and he said it was a great one. Since it does not carry enough of the Vitamins I just need to search for a good chewable Multivitamin. Plan to stick with this one, my kids have even started grabbing them on their rushed mornings to get their Protein in.

My NUT hates premier. She says that if you go ingredient by ingredient and calculate the amino acids you only get 8 grams of Protein per shake. Many NUTs have written to the company repeatedly to tell them that they have false advertising but they will not change. Not sure if it true but I stay away from them. She says to add half a scoop of unflavored protein to it to beef t up and then you are good.

I am doing great so far. Just having trouble getting in all my liquids. Had a dizzy spell this morning, almost fainted, so Dr is thinking it is that I am a bit dehydrated & need to up my fluids.

My poor little tummy is full though!

Would anyone like to make or join a May 2012 Sleevers group on Facebook? Then we could all chat with each other on there, live chat if we wanted etc.?

I saw there is the option to make it a secret group too, so others could not see the group or who is in it. As I know not all of us have told all our facebook friends yet & may want to keep that under wraps.

Let me know & if there is enough interest I can set one up, or someone else can do that if they want.

You can find me on facebook too, if you want to add me as a friend... Sharon Ivanauskas.

Sounds really great. Yes, I have told everyone who is important to me but I'm FB friends with so many high school friends and even a couple of ex boyfriends that I would rather keep it secret.

Okay, I think to add you to the Facebook group, I would need to be your friends. Unless anyone else knows how to do it another way?!

So maybe people can friend me on facebook & also send me a message saying that you want to join the May 2012 sleevers group. That way I will remember who is my sleeve friends! I will go set it up now!

Just search for me on facebook... Sharon Ivanauskas.

Then also send me a message saying you want to join the May 2012 sleevers group, that way I will know to add you!

As the group is secret you can't search for it, or you could, but it won't come up!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
