Sometimes Are you working out? 3 times a week How do you feel physically/ emotionally? Great and better then before every day is better.

Yes for me it does, I take a separate dose of it on top of my other Vitamins and for a month now I've noticed a big difference and even others notice too without me saying anything.

I started taking Biotin vitamins they have dissolvable \ chewable at cvs pharmacy. It's helping. Also stay on top of your multi vitamins, proteins. Hope it gets better.

It's so awesome thanks everyone!!! And congrats to all of you also!!! Whoo hoooooo!!!!

Yay!!!!!! I'm so happy... I haven't been this weight in 10+ yrs!!! I got sleeved on aug 20 at 265 and as of this morning I'm 225!! Sweeeeet! Can't wait for my next 40 to be gone!!! Ill be shouting it from the roof top! ????

I'm back this coming Monday but I took s full 8 weeks off!! The first three were very difficult for me. The by the 6th week I was feeling somewhat normal with getting enough fluids and energy. I took the remaining two weeks for myself. Started the gym, a healthy diet, spent lots of time with my son and the rest of my family. All things that are very hard to do with work. But I made a promise to myself. No more!!! I'll work but fit in m diet, working out and most of all my family

That's wonderful!!!!! Great job!!!!!!!

I was sleeved on aug. 20. I'm down 35lbs. I go to the gym 4 times a week. I'm able to do 45 min of cardio. And full body circuit training machines. I feel great!! I can pretty much eat anything, still have issues with some fruits. Like grapes.. But for the most part I can get and keep down most foods. ( healthy choice options of coarse ) and when it comes to pasta or rice I eat maybe a half cup and I'm full. So my Tool the sleeve is working wonderfully. Breakfast- Cheerios with no fat milk, I like over the moon brand it taste like 2%. Or I'll make egg whites and cheese omelet with half a slice of wheat toast. 1/2 cup coffee sweetened with Splenda or tea with Splenda Lunch: chicken caesar salad. About a cup of lettuce and 4 oz of chicken. Or a turkey and cheese with whole wheat wrap with sprouts and shredded carrots. Fat free ranch dressing Dinner: fish, chicken, ground turkey basically any protein with rice or potato and a side veg. Last night was baked cod, rice pilaf, and green beans. I have not got sick once, knock on wood. But I do feel when I'm full and stop before any discomfort. My NUT says I'm doing great and options are good as well as portion size. My response 4 weeks ago would of not been so happy I hated the liquid part and purée stages. But got thru it!!!! Hope all my fellow August sleevers are doing well!!! And everyone else too!!!'

I felt the same way!!! Your going to have a few brake downs, I was sleeved on aug 20 and I promise you, it does get better!!! I would just hold a water bottle to my lips and just sip and watch TV, like a hamster lol. But I finally got fluids in! And I lived on sugar free Popsicles. My protein drink was chocolate ensure with an additional scoop of strawberry whey protein and ice I blended it so it was like a frappe with a lil bit of texture from ice. You will find what works for you. I can eat anything now just smaller portions and I'm only a few weeks ahead of you, hang in there Hun I promise this part will pass. You already did the worst part it only gets better!!! . I'm down 35 lbs tooo!! Woot woot!!!
