You too guys!! Thx!! Best of ENERGY to all! Best thing we EVER did!!

I had my surgery 1/8/13 and I feel AMAZING!! I can walk pain free. I have so much energy and just so happy!! I have lost close to 50lbs!! Slow at times but, the last two weeks something happened!! This energy and happiness came to me. I no longer sit around I have goals and I am busy all the time! I have beem working out eating right!! Drinking wine!! My goal is to be at my desired weight by my DAUGHTER'S graduation party 6/28/13!! Ohhhhhh YA!! Thank you SLEEVE!

Congrats... I am so happy for you!! I am 3 months out and couldn't be happier!! Good luck... it was worth it. Thanks for sharing

Great.. best of luck

Holy moses... never happened to me EVER!! Any advice??

Exactly!! Its just a tool! I have been strict Monday-Friday! On the weekend I allow a a treat!! It seems to be working . I still could never EVER pig out like before. But, because I can just about eat anything I have to keep my inner beast at bay!! Lol!! Its a great Tool

Monday I went to my dietician and was at a stall. I was reinforced to increase my proteins and not skip meals 5-6 small ones a day and at least 64 oz of H20 It worked.. I am down 2.5 lbs today!

Well... I just read in another conversation that consuming more calories could aid in weight loss! A certain person said that when taking in 500 calories the weight loss was nothing but, when increased intake to 1000 cal+ they had more of a weight loss. This week I went to Dietician and I was at a stall they recommended to eat more protein and not skip meals. So I did... since Monday I am down 2.5 lbs!!

I am scared of that!! Sometimes when I eat it seems like I could eat more, but I get scared and stop! I know what it feels like when I do eat too much and its awful!! They told it can take up 20 minutes for your brain to tell you that you are full!

Ok... then I am guessing, you can eat without diffuculty!

Congrats!!!

Is it?? Goes down with no prob's??

What do you mean by slider??

Does your trainer know about your surgery??

I was dragging one week post-op! I went back to work 4 weeks post-op. I am a nurse and had restrictions, no lifting over 10lbs or pushing or pulling for 6 weeks. I guess If I had a desk job, I would of been ok by week 2. Good luck with your surgery!! Its worth it ... I had mine Jan 8! Its changed my life for the good:)

Well.. I have been taking Miralax once daily for a few weeks and I am very regular now!

Watch the Carb's #. My Dietician advices to limit carb intake to a minimal. A good # to stay in is 60-80gm of protein and 100gm of carbs Daily!! If a shake is loaded with carbs you are defeating the whole purpose! Just FYI

Premier Chocolate protein shakes! Cold. 30gm protein 5gm of carbs!! Very good.

Went to a family function tonight.... WOW, everyone noticed my weight loss! I have not seen them since Christmas... had my sleeve Jan 8 and down 47 lbs:).. I also bought a new pair of jeans for tonight, because my others were falling off.... went from a 18 to size 14!! Next, step will be NORMAL SIZES!! YES...

Me too.. weighed myself, Lost 4.5 lbs in 12 hours. I feel better now! Just trying to get back my fluids slowly! I am 40oz of fluid intake since 12 noon. Popcicles are easier than fluids for some reason. Hoping noone else in the house gets it! Just sprayed lysol and bleach on every thing.

Woke up at 4:30 am puking.... then shortly after that, the other end kicked in!! Liquid and often. Body chills... my stomach muscles and intestines hurt. I am doing everything to rehydrate.. Justz concerned being sleeved in January if I will ever get caught up in my fluids.. just worried. Alot different then before the surgery and getting the flu:(

Good luck!! It will be here before you know it..

Thanks:)... exciting! The sleeve was the best tool I have ever been given to change my life for the better..

They say divorce is a huge stress factor. I believe that that stress and corticosteroids factor in weight gain. Sorry, I hope things get better!! (I heard that if you change your diet and exercise regimn it restarts your weight loss, like add more carbs or more water etc..)

It can be DONE!! You will love it good luck...
