Where are my November sleeve buddies? I'd like to connect with folks going through similar stages together so that we can support and learn from each other.

Regarding your diet, you and I are pretty much spot on. I've started doubling up my Protein shakes, generally two scoops of ON 100% whey per 8 oz of almond milk. Down 80lbs as of last week.

Congratulations on the 80lb loss! That is terrific! In recent weeks, I have shifted away from Protein Shakes toward a Quest Protein Bar for Breakfast. I got pretty tired of the shakes after a while and thought that the Fiber in the bars would be helpful. I'm still hitting about 100g of protein, but a little more of it is starting to come from regular foods.

I have a few FB friend requests of folks I don't know. If this is you, please let me know so I can add you to our private group... Lots of great support happening there!!

I added you and sent you a pm (: my name is Krisanne DeVries.

I was sleeved 11/8. I'm having a hard time getting my fluids in. I use to drink water with no problem and now I don't like plain water. I add Crystal Light and it is a little better. I struggle a bit too with the protein. If I don't have a protein shake there is no chance of getting it all in.

I've lost 40 lbs and feel great. Still tired but feeling good.

I am glad to hear I am not the only with these issues. It's nice to have you all to hear about it.

Is the facebook group closed or secret? I have only told immediate family about my surgery. If it is secret, I would love to be added: Robin Czajka.

The group is up and running! Feel free to add me on FB or I'll add you if you send me your info!
