Hi, anyone in the area?

I would love to keep in touch on here for support.

:-)

Manhattan over here.... I'm 5 months out. 47lbs down... I'm a slow loser but I'm enjoying every lb I lose.

I try to hit 90 to 120 grams of protein of course that's not always easy. But I feel like I'm dragging if I don't hit those numbers.

Were you sleeved by them?

yes at mercy hospital though it was a great experience made lots of friends

Rockinbella that is a mistake you only make once. Eskimo I am currently in my second stall. The first was 4 weeks post op and it only lasted a little over a week. This one I am in now has been 4 weeks. To say it isn't frustrating I would be lying however I have been losing inches instead of lbs.

I'm glad I'm not alone I felt bad I wasn't losing so early

Can you share how you get so much protein in?

I'm from jersey sleeved June fist down 35lbs feeling amazing.

I drink 2 premier protein shakes a day which is 60 grams. Then I try to eat protein every 2-3 hrs. Examples are ricotta cheese, string cheese, beef jerky, peanut butter on apples. I try and fit these in between breakfast lunch and dinner. I don't always get it all in but I have very physical job and I have been working out hard so I have found the less protein I have the less energy I have

I am from NJ, Monmouth County. My surgery is planned for Sept 24 ( fingers crossed) . I have completed all necessary pre-testing and it will be submitted to insurance shortly. It's getting real!

I'm in the bronx Getting sleeved by Dr. Belsley sometime in September (hopefully)

Are you going to Hackensack or jersey city? I was jersey city and wish I had done Hackensack bc they have the floor just for WLS. I didn't feel the nurses were well-versed with what I was going through at jc. Good luck to you!
