HI THINGS WILL GET BETTER. I HAD SUCH ANXIETY AND PANIC ATTACKS ( I DID HAVE THEM BEFORE SURGERY) AFTER SURGERY AND THEY WERE MORE THEN USUAL . I THOUGHT OH MY GOD I CANT LIVE LIKE THIS, BUT THINGS HAVE BEEN SOOO MUCH BETTER,. THE CAUSE OF THEM WAS STRESSING FROM TRYING TO GET IN A LL THE PROTEIN AND WATER . I WAS FREAKING OUT TILL FINALLY I REALIZED I CAN ONLY DO WHAT MY BODY WILL LET ME. IT TOOK TIME TO GET IT UNDER CONTROL BUT IT WILL HAPPEN . I STILL STRUGGLE WITH THE WATER CAUSE I JUS TDONT FEEL THIRSTY AND I DONT FEEL LIKE DRINKING ALL DAY LONG . YOU ARE ONLY ALMOST A MONTH OUT AND I PROMISE YOU IT WILL GET BETTER ,,I DIDNT THINK IT WOULD AND IT HAS SOO MUCH BETTER. I AM HERE TO LISTEN WHENEVER YOU NEED FEEL FREE TO CONTACT ME.

YOU LOOK AWESOME ..KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WOW 110LBS AND YOU HAVE NO LOOSE SKIN???????? THATS AMAZING

You look great !!!!!!!! How much weight have you lost in total??

I quit on 1/2/13 over 2 months before surgery..I was away on vacation last week and smoked all week long but stopped when i came home... I was worried I wasnt gonna be able to stop but i made myself . I will never do that again ,I dont wanna start again ... try not to start again

FIRST OFF HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!!!!!!!!!!! ENJOY YOUR DAY.... I DONT KNOW HOW FAR OUT YOU ARE . BUT HAVE WHAT YOU WANT (REALLY HOW MUCH OF IT WILL YOU EAT)JUST MAKE SURE YOU GET RID OF IT SO YOU CANT HAVE MORE LATER IN THE DAY IF YOU WANNA BE REALLY GOOD.. I AM SURE PEOPLE WONT LIKE MY ANSWER BUT I DECIDED AFTER MUCH THOUGHT THAT I WOULD EAT HEALTHY BUT THERE ARE TIMES WHEN I WILL INDULGE AND MY BIRTHDAY WOULD BE ONE OF THOSE DAYS!!!! :D

I drink decaf everyday,,, I count it as part of my water for the day and i drink it iced too...sometimes with unflavored protein . I do eat salad but since I need to get protein in first its never alot of it. Do ask your doctor cause they are all so different with there rules..

You are doing great !!!!!!! I was sleeved on 3/19/13 and you are a far ahead of me ...

CALL AND ASK ABOUT THE LIQUID DIET THE DAY BEFORE. I AM PRETTY SURE IT MUST BE DONE. GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR JOURNEY.

That looks Yummy!!!!!! WOW you are losing so fast I am soooo jealous of you ........!!!!!!!!!!!! :P

It has been good. I had a hard time in the begining but that is expected. i had no pain or anything like that( some gas but not too bad) . I just was panicky about getting in the water and protein . My mind was freaking out ,,I was making myself crazy.. I just had to realize I can only do what my body lets me.. So I just sipped as much as i could. It is definetly a journey and not the easy way out but its all worth it. The first couple of weeks are the hardest. One great thing is that with our dr. we can go to puree soft foods quick ,,, You will be just fine..i am a slow loser and wish it would just fall off but my skin has more time to shrink ,,,so thats a good thing. Wishing you much luck on your journey and like I said feel free to email me if u want.

Hi melmel11 I used Dr. Angstadt and was in Mercy Hospital. All went very well he is a nice doctor and the hospital and staff were great . Surgery was March 19 2013 and i was out the next afternoon. You can always email me with any questions .

I have been getting slight headaches often and wondering is anyone else getting them ??? I am 15 weeks post op.. getting in at least 6 glaases of water and 45 g of protein a day....Thanx so much.

thanks... i will try to get in more protein and water ,,, it is just so hard for me ..

Hi all my fellow sleevers. I am 15 weeks post op down a little over 45 pounds. I am a slow loser but i am a happy one. Protein has always been an issue with me and I cant seem to drink those sugary shakes ,maybe once in awhile but not everyday . I am Greek/American so coffee is a big deal(haha). We make frappe and i have been drinking that with unflavored 100%whey protein..24g per scoop from GNC. I buy nescafe instant decaf coffee . One spoon of that with some water ( 1-2 cups) then protein in a shaker ,,shake it (it becomes frothy) put in a nice glass with ice add some splenda . If you like coffee and are tired of those shakes give it a try. You also get your water in since there is no caffeine!!!!

wow ..wouldn't that be great .Thanx. I gotta check with my insurance also.

Do you like coffee ???if so try decaf ice coffee and add some unflavored protein in it ... GNC has whey 25g per scoop. Good luck hope it gets better ..

WOOOHOOO!!!!!!!!!! I CANT WAIT TO BE IN ONDERLAND.... CONGRATS..
