Yay, "my sleeve sista"! So good to hear that you and I are having such similar experiences at this point, as compared to right after we got our sleeves! I think it's funny that your fave Protein drink is the premiere from costco - it's mine too. I found muscle milk to be really sweet and slimy in texture...ugh...and there are others that just plain taste like ca-ca. So we are nearly 5 months out now and I am down 70 lbs, with another 20 - 30 to go. I am a tad freaked out today because for the first time ever in my entire life I could not find anything to wear to work that fit me because everything I own is too BIG. Very strange. Have you had this happen yet? For anyone following Pony-up's post and who is considering the surgery, all I can say is that everything she says in her post has been my experience so far...although the memory thing is getting better for me. I do have a very mentally challenging job and I went back right away, so maybe being forced to use my memory has helped me to recover/retain it better? Who knows? At any rate, my only regret is that I did not do this sooner, as I feel like the real me is finally, FINALLY emerging as these pounds come off. Yes, it IS a huge step and it is scary, but if you trust your surgeon and you educate yourself, the tough stuff is easier to get through. The added bonus is that the results show very quickly, and so it is easy to remain enthusiastic about keeping up with your nutritional needs! Good luck to all, and hugs to you, Pony-up! We need to skype soon!
