Hey! Are you on MFP? I'd love to add you. Your transformation is awe dropping.

Wow!!! You are amazing and so inspiring!

Hey November buddies! How are things going for you? Things are slowing down on this end... I have had a stall for a month! I'm hoping with all the exercise and the increase in Water that it will break with more than a pound. I'm using a drinking app to remind me to drink because I seem to forget. And it must be helping because I have almost doubled my water intake. My Vitamins are still a real challenge. I had some tests done and I need to get on it because my Vitamin D is quite low, so I have to up it quite drastically for 3 months and I'll be tested again. I did however have some great news. My diabetes is in remission and could quite possibly be cured! In 3 months I will be doing the glucose test and if it comes back normal then I'm CURED!!!!! I can't wait to find out! This really is the best thing I have done for myself. I am so happy, life is good! Sheena :-)

Wow! Look at all the hard work! It has payed off, you look amazing @@snowbound !!

Wow!!!! What a huge difference! You are such an inspiration to me. I hope I have the same success!!

Well, I have always been large, even as a child. I was a size 18 at 12 years old :-( For me (starting this journey at a size 28W) I would like to end between an 8 and 10. That would be amazing to me!!

I found if I cut it up super super small and chewed the crap out of the little pieces it went down no problem. And also it was easier to chew a small piece rather than a large piece! Good luck!

Hey! I'm so happy to read that everyone is doing well! Is anyone in the Kelowna BC area? I live here, but I had my surgery in Victoria with Dr Malik! :-)

Hey All! I hope everyone is doing well!! I feel like I'm failing.... only on the water and sometimes vitamin part. I really am struggling to drink. I'm never hungry or thirsty. .. What are you guys doing to keep your fluids up? Any tips will be helpful! Thank you, Sheena :-)

Hey! I'm also in Kelowna! I was sleeved November 26th 2014

Hey! I'm looking in Kelowna. I was sleeved November 26th 2014!

Hey guys and gals I'm so happy for everyone and your progress!!! I was sleeved on November 26th and so far so good! I'm down 28 pounds so far, I've been stuck for 3 weeks without movement on the scale. But I'm hoping soon the scale gods will change the number before I go nuts hahaha I am on My fitness Pal if you wanna add me! Then we can see each others diaries and get ideas for meals etc Sheena696 is the name! I must say I am struggling with Vitamins. .. I forget to take them all the time. I've never been on medication or anything so it's not something I think about. How do you remember to take them? Also, is anyone FREEZING all the time! I can't seem to keep warm. Talk soon, Sheena :-)

I'm sheena696 add me!

It's very interesting how many aspects of life the sleeve changes. I was sleeved almost 7 weeks ago and for the last 2 weeks all I want to do is make love to my man! I'm insatiable!!! And I haven't been like this for a long time and I DON'T want this to end! Lol Sorry if that is TMI, but it's just nice to want to be intimate more than once a week.

I have purchased the Sugar Free Vanilla and Caramel Torani syrup from my Local Real Canadian Superstore. But you can buy them from Amazon.com :-) Sometimes you can even buy syrup from Starbucks too!

I'm so excited for you! Way to go on being so prepared making dinner for the family! Keep us updated!

Do any of you eat Protein bars? If so what brand? Have you used the Atkins brand? Thanks!

That's strange. ... I use Genepro and don't have ANY PROBLEMS mixing it into anything. I put in tea, Soups, iced tea (crystal light), pudding, mashed cauliflower- really anything I need to up my protein for the day. That's too bad it dissolves for me with no problems :-( Good luck!

@"krisrpaz" I have been consuming more dairy products as in cheese and what not but I do not drink milk. Maybe I'll try to cut down and see if that helps! Thanks for giving me an idea as to what could be going on!

Hey! I'm sheena696

Hey guys! I hope everyone is doing well and haven't had any major issues. How have the progression through the different food stages been? For me, I haven't had too many problems aside from acid/burning stomach but I've been prescribed more acid reducing meds, and I'm much better!! One thing I find crazy is I have so so so much gas... like all the time. Not necessarily painful but I'm constantly tooting lol (sorry if this is TMI) I was just wondering if any of you have been experiencing the same thing? It's the weirdest thing ever.... to me anyway. If anyone has insight as to why I'm experiencing this much gas that would be awesome. I was sleeved November 26th and so far it's been good! I hope you all are doing well! Sheena :-)

Holy! You look so happy! What an amazing transformation. You are such an inspiration to me, thank you for sharing!! Sheena :-)

I love that show! I have to agree with a lot of comments about Penny.... I was pretty pissed by the end of the episode. She had this gift and didn't use it. Where there is probably another person out there that would have embraced it to the fullest. It made me sad to think about her son and what his future will be like. But anyway I can't wait to see the updates on everyone!!

Thank you very much for doing that for me. It's nice to get an idea of what and how much people are eating. Everyone seems to be keeping their carbs very low and my surgeon and NUT pushes for 80G Protein, 1000 Calories a day and minimum 60 Oz of Water but no mention of carbs. By staying very low in carbs does it speed up the fat burning process? And what ballpark should I aim for? Thanks again!

Hey!! We were sleeved around the same time, can you give me a breakdown of your day? I am having the worst time with getting everything in! Some days I do really well and others I barley get 500 calories and 40 oz water in! Lol It's tough... I'm just not hungry and food kinda repulses me lol Any MFP users wanna share their name? just for ideas? Thanks so much ♡ Sheena :-)
