Thank u!!

I haven't seen the bbc show. Is it on you tube?

Thanks ladies! Great advice. I can't wait to start. I've researched and watched so many you tube videos on this and am excited! Thank u for all the support!

I'm 18 months out. I think this is what I need to get these last few 12-15 pounds off.

I think I'm going to start my days on Mondays and Thursday. Will anybody like to share any tips for fast days besides eating lean and clean? What do most of u eat? Can I drink iced coffee on fast days? Something I drink each morning.

Thank u!

I think it's time for me to do 5:2, I did 16:8 fast for a few weeks then stopped. I think 5:2 may work better with my schedule. I've googled and read threads about 5:2 and hopefully it will get me to 145-150. I've been at 158-162 forever! I'm 18 months out.

Honestly, when I made my decision to be sleeved, I went through these questions myself, how would I act about eating in front of others while I pick and choose the healthiest option. Once I seen the results, I never thought twice about my decision. Yeah it gets hard but I would never want it any other way. I'm now a size 4-6 and down 92 pounds. Love my sleeve. Keep striving and soon you will learn to eat to live not live to eat ????.

I'm type one and barely take insulin , a few units a few days a week. I keep my carbs extremely low and follow the high protein concept. I was sleeved 7-2012 and down 92 pounds.

Thinking of doing this because I've been craving carbs and sugar! Ugh!

It may be low iron. I get dizzy also and I have low iron. According to my pcp, that can be why.

Lol I am too!

You have to scald whole milk (1 gallon) and one small container of plain nonfat Greek yogurt and salt to taste then let it cool. Once it is cooled, you put it in a bag (I use a pillow case) tie it up and set a big strainer underneath it for a few days , set in a bowl so it's doesn't leak everywhere. each night dump out the extra water from the case that's underneath in the extra bowl. Once thickened u can put in a Tupperware and just garnish with olive oil (optional) as needed. Time consuming, but worth it!

Fat free doesn't always mean it's better. Usually higher in carbs and sugar when it's low or no fat. I'd rather have the fat. I do such low carb I need the fats for fuel.

HEB grocery stores, it's only in Texas

Tell me when and where and if I'm not working I'll be happy to meet.

It's delicious. Even try it mixed in with some ground lean meat or turkey and chopped tomatoes! Season the meat with salt, pepper, minced onions and allspice and finish it with fresh parsley.

Pretty sure u can do it! Trust me when I say, if I can, so can u!

I'll do it, I'm in humble.

That is labaneh. I love it!! I'm Palestinian and we make this homemade in my home. Spread it in a plate with a drizzle of olive oil and it's Devine! I eat it with my eggs, wrap it up in lunch meat with cucumbers, or even spread it in Kim's magic pop! Yum yum! The best with it my moms homemade pita, but u know!! Lol

I'm 32 and was sleeved last July, and I still have loose skin. I don't think age matters, I think it depends how long you've been overweight and the elasticity of your skin .

I'm type one and have been sleeved for 1.5 years, I used to take 60 units of novolin N and R and now barely take any. I didn't take more than 3-5 units a day while on liquids and now I take 3-5 units every few days. I feel like I cured myself. But as always talk to your doctor .

Do you mean labaneh?

Not sure if it matters but I am in Houston but have a sleeve and would love to be together with others who've had WLS... If so let me know, I'm 1 1/2 years out.

I'm going to go with Dr. Alejandro Quiroz, I like him a lot! Set my date for June 25, 2014
