congrats judy for joining all of the sleevers. it is a great club to be in. hope you have a great time losing and enjoying these forums.

frank, i am so glad that you are doing so good. also glad your health is getting better about the slow bladder from waking up. can't wait to see your post.

i don't do liquids very well so i take a multi vitamin from gnc, pepcid-for calcium, b12-sublingual. that is all i take right now until my 6 weeks post op visit.

wow kermit, what a weight loss you have had. i am three weeks out and just now hit 24#. you are really working this sleeve. you go girl. do you like refried beans and cheese? that is a good mushy food to eat. i also like the amp brand chocalte protein powder. it is so fine and easy to mix. good luck at gym and try drinking a sf carnation instant breakfast with milk. that may help you at gym. e-mail me at how you do. lol, laura

congrats to all of you. you go girls. monday i weighed 245 and this morning it was 244. i can't believe how the weight just falls off of you. before surgery i was squeezing myself into a 3xl or blue scrubs and tonight i thought i would put on my 2xl that i wore last summer08. i could not believe it they fit and still look like a bunch of people have moved out of my waist,butt,hips and legs. where oh where is weight going!!! i really don't understand how all of this works. again congrats to you guys weight loss keep it up and thanks for the measurement tip steph

the only problem with the sugar ones is that you might have some dumping. we are not suppose to as bad as a rny patient, but we can if we eat or drink too much sugar products. see if you can take the ones back that you bought at cvs and get the ones from gnc. they will be better for you because they have 40 g. in one bottle. they have at 6 flavors. you can also buy online at bariatriceating.com hope this helps you and i know it is very discouraging when you buy something thinking you are doing good to only need something else. you really don't want to have to do more of that drink to get 40 grams of protein in the first few days. it is hard enough to try to get it all in without having to do more. the isopure from gnc is 20 ounces i believe. well again hope this helps..

wow tiffany, that is so awesome. we can all hope to do as amazing as you have. that is great christmas present! you go girl. keep us updated on how your body adjust to the slow down.

congrats and welcome to the sleevers club. hope you have a speedy recovery. you can also try pouring warm water over your privates!? hope that doesn't sound that bad. good lick and will look for your updates.

you really did work that sleeve over the holidays. i also know what you mean about the slimes and it just comes up. not all of it just a little. take care and know we are here supporting each other.

i am so glad things went so well for you. hope you get a great report from the urologist. i will keep praying for you. so happy for you...

i went on a tuesday and was home wednesday at 530pm. had a leak test wednesday morning and drinking broth, jello and clear liquids. i could have ice chips and water right after surgery. i am sure everyone and their doctor is different.

wow keep up the great work chandra. just keep the faith. i had to have a reality check. i went for almost 3 days without losing a single pound and then i had lost 7 pounds. it is amazing. i have lost 19 since surgery day-12809. tuesday i will start on my third week. i did horrible over the holidays. eating things that were loaded with carbs. at least it only comes once a year...

well here is what i had 3 weeks out today: no breakfast really-1/2 cont. yogurt with fruit for lunch: 2 oz turkey, 1 table squash cass, 1 table green Beans, 1 table homemade cornbread dressing-my moms! so good, 1 table butter beans, 1 table pea salad, 1 table copperpennies. couldn't finish all of this but did have it on my plate. ate all of the turkey and dressing. have beat myself up over this. but like someone else said compared to what i have eaten of all the christmas dinners past this is remarkable!! we have gone from plate fulls to little bird portions. for supper: a 1 egg veggie omelet and only are half. also had sf chocolate pudding with sf cool whip on it. that tasted so good. also a few bites of cornbread dressing again. that stuff goes down so good. wish i could find something with low carbs like that! it is mushy is why. but i know it is loaded with carbs cause of cornbread!!

Tiff, that is so great. I know you can make it. How long has it taken you to get there? You look amazing!

here are a few more: 16: fit into a bathtub 17: wear courdroy pants without them catching fire!! 18: be able to see my toes without bending over! 19: being able to get in floor with my kids to play.. 20: fit in to regular size shoes! and ditto to what you guys already said..

i just had a piece of better than sex cake! i made it mostly sf except for cream cheese layer and the pecan crust. but i just didn't eat that layer. i just ate the sf pudding and whipped cream. do they make a sf powder sugar? i also have not eaten exactly good over these christmas holidays. too much carbs. stayed under 900 cal but had things that i shouldn't have. only ate an ounce or two but it was bad for me but was nice to have other things that i just love!!

who on here goes on a webpage called "the world according to eggface". i haven't had time to make any of these but they all seem so good. she makes a protein cake and ice cream. wondering if anyone here has tried them. please post back..:thumbup:

Re: 100 lb club in less than 4 months wow that is awesome. i can dream of being down 100 # in 4 months. i bet you guys look awesome...

great idea about writing on mirror your goals and things youwant out of this. thanks for the encouragement

Good morning fellow sleevers. I was so discouraged for the past few days. I had been stuck at 251 for the past 4 or 5 days. I thought how can I not loose weight when all I am eating is just few ounces at a time and barely getting in 700 cal or so per day. So this morning I woke up and stepped on the ugly scale and yes oh yes I was down to 248. This sleeve really does work. Just keep your heads up and keep trusting in it. I have never had much faith in me loosing weight. So Laura have faith in the procedure you just had done two weeks ago please!!!!!

oh how we all know where you are today. i was just probably a week/half out and we were watching a movie and everyone around me was having popcorn and there was a bag of gold fish sitting beside me and I started munching on them. letting them dissolve in mouth to a mush. my dr. would be furious with me. but you know we all go from eating whatever we want to eating nothing!!! how can they expect us to give up food just like that. that would be like asking a person who has smoked for 40 years to stop smoking!! this is an adiction and we all need to look at obesity that way. food is great and we all love it with a passion!! take it one day at a time.
