The above list is not up to date. That's seems to be from late June. If anyone is interested they can go to the July thread and check out the most up to date list of July Sleevers, although most in here seem to be in August.

Im in Midwood Park, and that is near Flatbush. Yea, I think Dr. Gorecki is the main guy there. I think there is only suppose to be one other doctor but I never see him.

Ok doke.

Luck!

I can do anywhere kid friendly. Park sounds great.

Yep, a little over two weeks ago. What part of Brooklyn do you live in? Assuming you are from Brooklyn, lol.

Sounds like a second opinion is in order. Insurance isnt covering any of this?

I want to know how many packs/servings where you able to get down per day for the first week after surgery? I got my sample packs of nectar (14) and I will need to purchase some more protein powder for the pre op three day liquid diet. So what it looks like I will do is buy a large container of a protein. Even if I dont like it post surgery I have to get it down. What I planned on doing was trying all the flavors post op and then buy a larger bulk but I dont know if 14 will hold me plus I dont want to wait until last minute. Also, how long were you on the clear liquids before you moved over to mushies?

Thank you everyone.

I live in Midwood Brooklyn and Im looking for someone nearby to go walking in my neighborhood. Let me know.

I had my surgery on the 30th.

MY CAPS WONT TURN OFF, SO BARE WITH ME. I KNOW THE STAGES VARY BUT I WANTED TO KNOW A FEW THINGS. HOW MANY OF YOU STARTED SOFT OR REGULAR FOODS IN LESS THAN TWO WEEKS? I NOTICED ONE PERSON ON HERE THAT ATE SOFTS STRAIGHT FROM THE HOSPITAL. DID IT AFFECT YOUR SLEEVE OR CAUSE ISSUES IN THE FUTURE, ASSUMING YOU ARE PAST THE HEALING STAGE.

Like someone said, once a week is good enough. Yes muscle weighs more than fat. I'd measure my chest, waist, and hips. Some people measure the neck, thigh, calf, upper arm, and wrist.

Is it worth it? I currently have measuring cups but I can figure out portions sizes just by guesstimating. Anyone have one and use theres? Which brand and is it worth buying?

Im from Brooklyn. Theres an entire NY thread and group but I noticed alot are from the BX.

do you guys include pre-op weightloss as well?

Anyone selling for a good price any new and unused nectar protein in the cappuchino and double stuffed cookie flavors in a tub or sample pack?

I'd like to join the facebook group. What is the process? My fb is in my signature.

i think the posters that did mention people liking them for physical reasons might know the difference between if they were naturally outgoing etc, or more reserved. Some people don't have respect for larger people, and it has been proven. on the other hand, some people do open up when the lose weight and people are attracted to positive energy regardless of a persons size. their worries are just. only one real way to find out.

i realized that at the end of the day, the ''true'' people really show themselves eventually. if they are not really paying attention to you now, then all of a sudden they are, and your personality hasnt changed chances are its because of your physical changes.

Thanks likasulema

What are you "eating" and drinking. I haven't started to record what I've been eating or drinking yet, but mainly soups, shakes and teas, jello in that order. I am still uncomforably gassy so Im dealing with that. I think I will start keeping track today/tomorrow. I can get my liquids down pretty well.

I'm on a comp.

Is there a way to edit the original post?

I use to do this pre-op, and still do this but haven't in awhile. What I want to see is a picture of your portion size, whether its breakfast lunch or dinner. It may help others to visualize what amount of food they may be able to eat in the future. I'm asking for post ops at least a year out. So please include how far you are post op, and if you do weigh your meal include it. Thanks.
