    Has Our Forum Been Hacked?

    I got a repetitive link in another language. Do you think it's a virus?

    Introduction - Hello every one

    Hi Alicia, I was sleeved the day before you. I definitely do get hungry. Some of it is head hunger but some is physical for me. I am lucky so am drinking protein shakes with milk and having no problem..so far.... I find I crave protein and am allowed soft foods now so tuna, eggs hummus, mashed beans are my friends. I have had a little constipation but stool softeners really helped me. I am getting far less than 60 oz of water in a day.
  7. I am 2 weeks out and have found 2 palatable brands of powdered Protein. You can order online. They are called About Time and unjury. I like vanilla and chocolate splendor I also have PB2 powdered Peanut Butter. I add to my shake and with 1 and 1/2 scoops of Protein powder, 1% milk and the pb2 I have a shake that tastes great and is over 40 grams of protein! I also add ice to my shaker. Hope this helps.

    1 year 7 months - 297 pounds gone

    You look gorgeous! Best wishes to you. You've worked so hard. That's an amazing amount of weight and you must be so proud of yourself.
  11. I was sleeved on 3/6. I had compression boots in hospital and am still on louvenox injections once daily for 2 weeks total. I did lots of ankle pumps and walked halls the night of my surgery. Making sure to get plenty of activity. I also had much trepidation the few days prior to my surgery. I thought of everything that could go wrong and quite honestly, almost pulled my I.V. And left hospital the. Morning of. As was mentioned, there's always risk with surgery but it is minimal. I am so very sorry for the poor man who lost his life. It's a real heartbreak to hear this. Will someone tell me when was his surgery and when did he pass?

    My story

    Monica, I am so happy for you! How wonderful it has to be for you. I love to read stories such as yours. They inspire me. I was sleeved a week ago tomorrow. I weighed 209.9 lbs on day of surgery. That was down 5 lbs from preop limitations. I'm trying to weigh myself once weekly so tomorrow is the 1st weigh in since surgery. My goal is 135 lbs. when I read such amazing stories it reinforces that I can reach my goal!
  14. Sami, congrats! You're doing amazing things! Newat52. Good luck to you! All will be well.

    Less than 24 hours to go!

    I'm sorry to hear that and hope the challenges lessen as time goes on. From what I hear each day can be different so I'm breathing no sigh of relief. We are in it for the long haul now. I hope I won't miss food too terribly. I psychologically miss it tonight. My body feels some hunger but much of it is in my mind. I really hope you feel better and are able to increasingly hold fluids down.
