No I would never have been able to do this on willpower alone. I tried for 25 years, just yo yo . With the sleeve and willpower I have been able to do it. I am excited about the future because I do not feel like a victim any longer. I wish I did it 10 years ago!

I used Unjury unflavored protein powder in Diet Ocean Spray Cranberry juice when. I needed a change. -

Post-OP Vacation Q?
Dickens22 replied to supermom223's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
The thing to remember is that drinking alcohol cause dehydration. Dehydration causes dizziness , nausea and severe legs cramps. Stay hydrated. Two of any drink is more than enough to have fun. Have a plan in place so you don't over drink. Wine is the most agreeable for me. Haven't watered it down. Alcohol seems way stronger after the sleeve. -

Dickens22 replied to atlchick's topic in Mexico & Self-Pay Weight Loss Surgery
The first 3 months I had it now very rarely. -

I gave up for surgery but at 2 mos started having a morning cup with my husband again. Yum it's good . I have a large glass of water first when I wake up then the coffee.

People do it but I wouldn't unless it was my only choice. Your body goes through such a change, it's tiring and there's some mental adjusting. I stayed home a total of 14 days and it could have been a bit longer.

I never thought I'd say this but these frozen dinners are great! I have been having the hardest time eating any meat except for hamburger, I am not quite 3 mos out and most real food eating experiences have been disappointing and have left me wishing I hadn't tried to eat. Soft things are great but beef, chicken, etc difficult. I tried tender cuts, moist cuts... Anyway tonight I had the Atkins Turkey Dinner and it was wonderful . Low carbs, low fat and low calories. Just the right amount of protein. Just thought I'd share for anyone else struggling.
