  1. I could NOT do this! I hate milk.. Well it makes me physically ill so cheers to you for being able to do it! Sheena :-)
  2. This is a tough one. On paper I should lose 145lbs so that would bring me to 150. BUT the last time I weighed that I was 11... I'm 28 now. I have always been big and I just don't know how that will feel or look. So, the personal goal weight I'm aiming for is 170. That means I'd have to lose 120lbs and when I get there I will reevaluate where I need to be. I carry the majority of my weight in my middle, and I just want that to be smaller because I've read that being an 'apple' shape is extremely hard on your heart. Either way ANY amount of weight lost will be a win! Good luck everyone. Lets take it one day at a time because before we know it we will get there! Sheena :-)

    Incorporating more vegetables...

    What about juicing? You can juice all those veggies you have been missing and get all the nutrients without the bulk? Sheena :-)

    Juicer and protein powder?

    Hey everyone! I was wondering if anyone had juiced fruits and veggies for their nutrients and added Protein powder for fullness? If so what kind of powder did you use? Thanks in advance! Sheena :-)

    Juicer and protein powder?

    Thank you. Have you ever tried juicing before? I think that would be a match made in heaven -juicing with Protein powder! Haha

    Juicer and protein powder?

    Yeah I was thinking it might be better for us to have fresh fruits and veggies juiced an add protein powder than to drink pre made protein shakes full of chemicals. :-/

    Vajay jay question....?!

    I was wondering Ladies if you had a fatty deposit above the vajay jay? I believe it's the Mons Pubis.. Did that go down after weight loss? Or is it something ill have to add to the old surgery list? Thanks Sheena :-)

    11 Months Post OP and Down 116 Pounds.

    WOW!!! Can I just say you look fantastic? I mean you look 20 years younger! It's almost like you could be the 'daughter' of your before pic! So inspiring! Sheena :-)
  17. Hey everyone! This has been a long road of waiting...and more waiting... and more waiting! I finally had my consultation with my surgeon on April 11th (after waiting 6 months) and everything went well. He told me I'm an excellent candidate for the sleeve, BUT he wants me to lose up to 30 pounds before our next visit to show him I'm motivated and serious about this surgery. Now, I have no problem with putting in the work because I have been successful before. But after I had my son last year I tried for over 5 months to lose weight. I was going to weight watchers, hiring a personal trainer, had blood work done etc because I only managed to lose 3 pounds!!!! So my fear is that I won't lose enough in that amount of time and he won't see me again. Can anyone tell me if starting a shake diet might help? Like maybe having shakes for two meals and then a nice healthy dinner would be safe? I want to lose weight but safely because I will be having surgery in a month after our meeting and want to be as healthy as possible! Thanks in advance Sheena :-)

    I need to lose 30lbs in 3 months! HELP!

    Thanks for the replies! I have decided to do two premier Protein shakes a day and have a lean green supper. I haven't had pop in 2 weeks and that was the hardest thing ever! Diet Pepsi is my crack... But after the first week it has gotten better and better. I have also managed to drink 70oz of Water a day where I was lucky to have 20z Iol. I feel better and have noticed I haven't had heart burn in a while and that seemed to plague me every day! Thanks for the support! Hopefully I will join you guys on the other side in August!
