Hey guys I saw a thread from 2011 that I wanted to continue. I love all of my vsgers but as we know african american women tend to carry weight differently. I would love to follow you ladies on your journey and for us all to support each other.

I was sleeved on September 5th so I'm a week out. I'm doing good so far and feeling better everyday. I stayed at the hospital 3 days mostly because they discovered my allergy to morphine while I was on the pump with a fever and my entire body on fire. But I'm home now and much better. I was just moved to the full liquids stage so I'm pretty happy considering that the liquids stage made me nauseous. I've lost 24 lbs since my surgery so any pain I have is over shadowed by my joy.

Looking forward to hearing from you ladies and seeing some progress pics!

Anyone from Saint Louis area? I'm scheduled 5/6/15. So nervous.....

When were you sleeved

Congratulations on the weight loss sleevediva2! I agree with peekaboo. Just follow the plan and you will be fine. She's right - time flies! Try mixing fruit into your protein shakes. I've changed mine up a little by adding bananas and frozen strawberries or tropical fruit, and have also added sugar free flavor syrups (caramel, peach) and extracts (rum, vanilla), & spices(cinnamon, nutmeg, Apple pie).

Where did you get the sugar free syrup from?

not in St Louis area but definitely wouldn't mind being buddies. Help motivate and support each other.

I bought mine on Amazon. Look for Davinci Sugar Free Syrups or Torani. They have tons of flavors!

Just think positive hun. I was a nervous wreck before I got approved.

Hi all!!! My WLS is May 14 2015

I'm so excited!!! I start my liquid diet May 1. I need some advice..I need a diary free shake? Any ideas or advice???

Hi. Wondering if there's any secret Facebook groups for us (?)... Maybe it'd be a good idea to start one.

I'm to be sleeved on 4/29 and sure could use the support.

There is a closed group on Facebook, Black Girls Get Sleeved Too. Very positive group.

I believe the Total Lean-Lean Shake 25 at GNC are dairy free. Strawberry is my favorite. Blend it with a little ice. Good Luck!
