Recommended Posts

Thanks!! I bought myself the Fitbit flex it keeps me on my toes and also motivates me to stay active, I week out I felt like myself finally so I started walking for about 45 minutes but this past Friday I started the gym and I enjoy the arc trainer less pressure one knees and I can stay on that for about 55 minutes!! Believe me I have impressed myself!! I am going to continue that 3x week and light weights 2x week......I would love a buddy to communicate with because only someone that has chosen the sleeve as a tool to help themselves be a healthier person knows what I am talking and feeling about. So let's motivate each other and communicate when we can!!! You innnnnn?

Hi! I am a October 8, 2014 sleever! Nice to meet everyone. I need some suggestions for Protein. The only one I am presently using is Atkins shakes with 11 ounces and 15 grams Protein. I need more variety and don't want to keep buying brands and then not liking them. They are too expensive. I would appreciate suggestions!!

I was sleeved on the 8th. Have lost 16 lbs (total 27 from HW)!

I love Atkins Protein shakes (vanilla and choc) and add Isopure unflavored (2 scoops-50 grams protein) and I drink it throughout the day. It's a whopping 65 grams of Protein so that meets my daily req.

I was sleeved October 6th. As of last week, I've lost 140 pounds since the day of surgery. I've taken this whole process terribly seriously and now I can finally relax a little now that I am in maintenance. Of course, I know I still have to put the work in to keep the weight off, but at least I can start eating a little more.

My weight loss is surprising to me since my restriction isn't as great as others. I can easily eat a cup of anything. It's more about making smart choices and only eating during planned times. I would love to hear how others are doing.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
