definitely something to be proud of.... i can feel your excitement and we are all inspired.... good luck on your last 15 pounds...... -
That's just the way the weight goes. Veeery sloooowly some weeks. I have been exactly the same weight for 9 days straight now. But this has happened to me before, so I now just trust that the weight loss will happen... thanks hidden as long as it is on the downward trend i am happy....even by half a pound.... how do people lose 100 pounds in 6-8 months if it moves so slowly? i will keep trying to up my protein water and exercise.... the only consolation about losing slowly is that my skin wont be loose...hopefully....

Are Protein Shakes Necessary?
2sleeve2gether replied to MariaH1978's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Protein Bars contain really crappy protein....very processed and not bioavailable as a good whey protein.....but why not eat real food....a cup of yogurt....a couple of eggs....some chicken....shrimp....crab....nuts....beans...etc.... most protein shakes still have sugar and other yucky ingredients in them..... -
hi madam 7 weeks ago the night before my sister and i were sleeved in Mexico i went online and you posted about severe reflux and how you took apple cider vinegar and you were on the floor in the bathroom dying.....that put such terror in my heart....i was totally freaking.....my sister went to sleep and i was literally shaking....i was contemplating not doing the surgery......i took several theanines (natural calmers) and some melatonin and finally fell asleep....i went through with the surgery and both my sister and i had pretty easy recoveries....the day we flew out of san diego we spent 5 hours walking around and sitting watching shows at sea world..... what i am getting at is...how are you? and how are you managing your reflux? now if we can only figure out how to lose our weight without stalling every other week it would be great....we lost 10 pounds the first week then stalled for two weeks....lost another three pounds and stalled for about 10-12 days....we lose about 1/2pound a week now..,,doesnt seem right........any suggestions from anyone..... i dont get in all of the Protein...ive never had so much protein...,same with the Water....i get in about 30 ounces on a good day......thats more than i have ever drunk especially in the winter....,do you think that would be the problem? any feedback from any of you would be highly appreciated....

Dr. Cabrera in TJ?
2sleeve2gether replied to achildress's topic in Mexico & Self-Pay Weight Loss Surgery
my sister and i both sleeved with cabrera an hour apart surgery went well..sleeved on thursday checked out of hospital on sunday morn.... spent the day at sea world and then flew out san diego at about 7 in the evening....we were a bit tired after a day at sea world and drinking only gatorade but we did it and slept on the trip home....arrived nyc monday early morning....my sister went to work at 9 that day...i went to sleep for a bit....the only problem for us is that we did not get a lot of after info....we kind of knew liquid puree and soft foods....we experimented and still do with what feels good to eat....to drink 64 oz of water is impossible for us.... -
has anyone been sleeved that had 50-60 pounds to lose?
2sleeve2gether replied to nomorecupcakes's topic in Mexico & Self-Pay Weight Loss Surgery
my sister and i went to tj to do the surgery with dr Cabrera at mi doctor...my sister needs to lose 60 lbs and i 40-50.... it went well....some gas pain and also pain at some of the surgery sites.... we both lost 10 pounds in the first 10 days then stalled for a week....today is 4 weeks after surgery and we both lost approx 15-16 pounds....i have not been drinking Protein drinks as they make me gag....my sister did for a few days only....instead i drank chicken broth buttermilk, kefir coconut Water and ate some eggsalad....cannot get more than 3-4 cups of water down a day....its difficult especially now that its cold....i should drink tea with a bit of agave nectar to sweeten....but havent done that either....i started with puree within a week after surgery and tried some soft foods thereafter....i go by what feels ok....i have had some heartburn....but i find if i dont eat late and dont lie down soon after eating i dont get the heartburn..... my biggest issue is the weight loss....i know 15 pounds a month is not bad but i truly thought i would lose more...maybe about 20 the first month.....my sister is also disappointed....we both lose .5 of a pound every other or third day....we stall often for a few days or a week.....so in three weeks we lost 5 and 6 pounds.....thats way too little....hopefully it will pick up....i will try to drink more and exercise more.....
