  1. I was able to count the fluid in my shakes. I really like the injury strawberry sorbet.....especially with frozen strawberries instead of ice. Did that later though.

    5k color run!

    I just signed up for the Color Run in Lansing MI on July 13th for my husband and me to do the 8:30 team race. Anyone can sign up and join our team. Just message me and I'll give you the team name, my name, and the password. Would love to have others join us. I'll be walking most of the way as fast as I can. Carol

    5k color run!

    If you find any close to Lansing that are 5K walks I'm in. My husband would walk with us too as support. The 11th is a Thursday which surprises me that it would be on a Thursday.
  6. You are not alone!!! In the beginning, it is very difficult and especially if you are having problems. Take it one day at a time, and it will improve!!!

    Crazy Hungry n not feeling full...? Anyone?

    I actually had my stomach growl last week......My surgery was Nov. 12, 2012. I still have problems getting some food down, but one night I just wanted to eat and eat. I just made sure that I was eating protein and veggies. When I want something to crunch on, I eat dill pickles. My PA had me increase the amount of protein I was eating instead of being at 60 grams. Good luck with this...

    My fitness pal question

    I had to put in 1200 calories to up my protein. I don't eat that many calories so it always tells me I'm starving myself but I ignore that.

    60+ sleevers please help

    Don't give up! I was 65 when I was sleeved in Nov. I was 225.5 at my highest and weighed 158.4 today. My youngest is 39 and I finally weigh less than my husband and less than I weighed when she was born. Walked a 5k a week ago for the first time!!

    Let's Check In November 2012 Sleevers!

    I'm 66 so am not worried about some things younger gals are but my stomach actually growled on Wed when I was getting a massage. Haven't had it growl once since surgery. Wonder if it was because I started weaning off the omeprozele. Having to concentrate on what I'm eating and portions!!!

    Let's Check In November 2012 Sleevers!

    Also my blood work was great!!! I can try and wean myself off the omeprozele if I don't have reflux!! I just realized I didn't take it today and this is the first day my stomach growled since surgery. I wonder if there was more acid in there. Will have to check it the next time I don't take it.

    Corset trunkplasty

    Thanks for sharing the articles. Have never heard of that procedure. I'm only 6 months out, so it will be awhile before I can do anything though.

  17. I'm 66 now and had my surgery in November. Tomorrow is my 6 months checkup and I know I have lost over 60 pounds from the 3 weeks before surgery consultation. I paid for mine and have gone from a 1-2x to size 16P and Sat. I walked a 5K. Have never walked that far!!! You can PM me too! Carol

    5k color run!

    My nieces did it last year and had a blast! I'm walking the 5k in Grand Rapids in a few hours. 6 mo out but can't run it because I had knee replacement. You'll want to check with your doctor after surgery. I'm 66 and proud of it!!!

    Is it a true fear?

    My counselor told me that I didn't have to take care of my brothers or sisters anymore as an adult and to enjoy being a Mom to my kids and a Grandmother! My sister and brother don't even acknowledge that I have lost weight!! Now eight less than when I had kids and my youngest is 39!! Do this for yourself.. And your health. No one else!!!
