Hello everyone, as I begin my sleeve journey I now see people a lil differently in terms of their dramatic weight loss. I know a few people that have been sleeved that were open about their surgery and some I speculate have had it done~ Everyone knew when Star Jones got gastric because it was super obvious! With all the recent weight loss endorsements by Celebrities I always wondered which ones were real and which ones werent~// Have you ever seen a friend, someone in passing or a Celebrity and wondered to yourself...Mmmmmmmm I wonder if they were sleeved!?? I have a few in mind how about you???????????? T~ :ph34r: :ph34r: :ph34r:

SUPER EXCITED!!!!! My surgery is set for next Friday December 7th~ Ready to begin the transformation into my Future Healthy Self!!!! Congratulations to everyone in their Successfull Progress thus far~ T~ :wub:

For those who begin or continued to use Hormonal based Birth Control have you noticed a slower weight loss pattern than normal with your Sleeve? I ask because I know from previous experience BC has caused me to feel bloated and pack on a few lbs~ What has your experience been like with Birth Control and being Sleeved??? FYI~ I am looking to get the Mirena IUD tomorrow~ Looking forward to hearing your experiences~ T~ :wub:

Hello everyone, I am pre op however I am excited to hear about the increased fertility that comes with being sleeved! My Husband wantes to use Condoms for the first several months before I am Cleared by my Physican to begin trying to have a baby. Note that this will be our first child, I have been on birth control for over 10 years and this is thee first time I will be going without BC. To add to that My Hubby who is Military will be returning around the time I will be having surgery which is SCARY! For the first time in my life I am excited about the possibility of having a baby~ I am 29 years young and have been married for nearly 6 years~Birth control has also resulted in me gaining extra weight or other complication~~~~I know he wants to use condoms and not traditional birth controls but I don't wanna get preggos too soon and have complications~ What has been YOUR experience with Pregnancy Post op? When did you begin trying? How long after Surgery did you get pregnant? Thanks in advance~ T~ :wub:

You better go head with your sassy self! Looking good Momma! how do you feel? How are your energy levels and are you working out!?? I soooo can not wait to be on the losers bench! T~

Hey there Kalimom~ I had the paragard previously and after three years it caused severe and I mean severe cramping and heavy periods not to mention bloating and a slight decrease in my sex drive~ We plan on having our first baby or trying 1 year post op~ T~ :wub:

I've heard of people mixing jello with isopure I belive they say it isn't bad at all~ Keep us posted on how it taste~ T~ :wub:

Hello Ladies, I am currently Pre-op and my appointments are scheduled through the month of October, PCP Wellness check as well as Birth Control {getting the Mirena}. followed by 2 NUT, 1 Occupational Health, and group~ I'm super excited as I am a Military spouse and Hubby is due to return soon hopefully I can get a date the end of November so that he can take care of me and nurse me into better health~} I enjoyed reading all of the wonderful stories you ladies have shared thus far but I do have a question~ For those who begin or continued to use Hormonal based Birth Control have you noticed a slower weight loss pattern than normal? I ask because I know from previous experience BC has caused me to feel bloated and pack on a few lbs~ What has your experience been like with Birth Control and being Sleeved??? I look forward to hearing about your experience~ T~ :wub:

I recently removed my paragard IUD to give my body a rest plus after 4 years it cause extremely painful and heavy periods not to mention it decreased my sex drive a bit after a while~ Anywho I plan on getting the Mirena IUD in next week! For the ladies who have the Mirena IUD did you get it inserted before or after getting sleeved? T~ :wub:

Crazy thing about Birth Control is that it affects everyone differently! After time I noticed my sexual desire deminished while on paragard which is a NO NO~ however as soon as that thing was out of me I was ready to Go! Literally~...lol

My appointment is next week and I plan on getting the Mirena IUD in~ I had the Paragard IUD previously and after time (4years) my periods become more and more painful and heavy~ I'm excited and hope that I have a great experience with the Mirena for 12-15 months because my Husband and I plan on having our frist chile in 2014~}}} T~ :wub:

Whoot whoot!!!! I can not wait to make my facebook post! And yes I am telling thee world! All 1,045 fb friends will know~ I'm soooo excited about this shift in my life who knows how many people could be blessed from me sharing my experience instead of the I just dieted or I did WW response everyone else gives~ Nope I got Sleeved Boo! Crazy thing is everyone that I have told thus far has been soooooooooo supportive and even those who secretly will hate I love them anyways! T~ :wub: :wub:

Thanks for joining us ButterBean....lol~ It's not just celebrities I look at people I know who have dropped a considerable amount of weight in a short time and wonder mmmmmmmmm.......~I love Art Smith and he is thee King of Southern Cuisine~ I was watching the latest episode of top chef masters when he got in the pool~ I was checking for some incision marks...lol~ I didn't see any but I'm sure he got a lil somethin somethin done~ T~ :wub:

Love Love chocolate Shakeology! I'm pre-op and it does give me added energy and kinda cleanses my system! Best tasting Protein shake for me hands down! T~ :wub:

I did HCG for over 6 months dropped 55lbs stopped taking HCG and gained it ALL back and some! I had an entire fb page dedicated to me being on HCG about 90% of the people I knew who did it { over 900 fb hcg peeps} Failed at it Long term! I would NOT invest time nor money into something that only produces instant results but yet fails in the long run~ Focus on being sleeved and leave the fad diets alone! T~ :wub:

Thanks a million for all the advice Cherie~ T~ :wub:

Thanks for your responses~ Kalimomof3 I am getting it done on a Military Hospital~ MAMC near Tacoma, WA....If they do make me use two types of birth control that's fine too~ I just want to be healthy~ T~

Hello everyone, So I am pre op {on the waiting list to begin appointmenst NUT, PSYC,etc.} I was thinking of doing the Atkins Induction with a friend who is an Atkins fanatic! However she has yo-yoed with it for some time. I am on day 5 of Induction and super bored with the fat and cheese! I know that I CAN do it i'm just bored with it~ Plus with all the veggies and eggs and Protein I am eating it's only panning out to be like 1,080 calories daily~ I LOVE to work out and roller skate and it have been difficult to do since starting this program not to mention the constipation! ........I just want a baked sweet potato~ I am not a carb addict however I do Love sweets! With that being said I do make mindful choices like my fav is blue bunny frozen yogurt with preboitics~ I have a roller skating even coming up and need to train for the event and with this Atkins I don't have the energy nor the calories to do so as skating burns like 500-1,000 calories and so does my Kickboxing class! And I end up stalling on the scale anyways, which defeats the entire Atkins Induction process to drop weight fast! I simply don't wanna set myself up for this fad deep deprivation diet~ I would rather continue my eat in moderation and exercise routine~ Am I wrong fro wanting to ditch Atkins, or am I setting myself up for Failure once I get sleeved????? Thanks for listening to my Rant! T~ :wub: P.S~ Brutal or better yet Radical Honesty is Welcomed!~

Thanks ladies, I decided to stick it out for the 14 days of induction~ I am never really hungry but I do feel tired most of the time~ Again thanks for the feedback~ T~ :wub:

I don't belive you have anything to worry about Torrs~ Unless you plan on dropping 70+ pounds in the next 5 months I wouldn't sweat it~ In addition like the other ladies stated Ask, especially your nutritionist~ Most physicians and NUT's recommend you to drop the weight during the pre-op stage simply because it makes for a more succesful less risky surgery~} T~ :wub:

Let me interpretate that for ya~ You cheated really means......... I hate you, for the fact that you took a stance on your life and made that change that I sooooo desperatly Need! However since i'm soooo Pridefilled I will not allow myself to ask for assistance instead I thrive off attempting to making others such as yourself feel horrible about the choices I wish I would make for myself!!!! I deep down would LOVE to be in your shoes and have the confidence you have but I don't! That's what she REALLY means when she says that~ T~

Thanks Marty~}}}} I just wanna get out of the mindset of quick fixes Period!!!!! T~
