I am beyond excited with my results. After surgery don't get discouraged because you will hit the insanely long dreaded "stall" and I just got through with mine. I have lost 33lbs so far and 16 inches in my stomach. Well that 16 i haven't measured in a couple weeks so it could be more. Once you get past the liquids stage, it gets easier. I cried and regretted it during that stage. But it does get better!

The PET class is super easy. I used Dr.Avara and the entire team is amazing!!! I was sleeved by him on march 24th!

A few weeks but now I've picked it up to a mile or so a day.

I had my sleeve on march 24th. I walk on my treadmill everyday too

So I know a lot of people have their opinions on slim fast but I was given the ok to drink the slim fast that is high protein (20g) !!! It's soooooo much better than most protein drinks and it also has 2g of sugar and 4g of carb! Perfect!! Does anybody else drink these???

I am ADDICTED to the p3!!! I am actually low and need to get more

Pinterest!!!! Type in gastric sleeve,sleeve gastrectomy or wls recipes and you'll find TONS!!!

I'm scared too! Lol but I know it's for weight loss, but I do knkw that we need the protein to gain muscle or prevent muscle loss etc but now I'm concerned....here's a picture of the ones I'm talking about!

For those wandering about getting it wet it even states to wear it while you shower I did and it works just fine!

Hey! I saw your post about being in Biloxi, I'm from the coast as well. Who did your surgery???

I ordered my fitbit a few days ago and I can't wait to join the club!!! Should be here anyway now

This sounds interesting. Could you share where you got it on amazon or a picture of yours?

I know a lot of people will probably tell you different but my surgeon told me not to worry at all because liquid goes straight through you. Mine told me to drink as much water and liquids as I wanted.

I messaged you!!!

Sorry it took so long for a reply! I went on vacation after my 3 week checkup! Tomorrow makes a month sleeved for me. I asked my doctor if there was such a thing as "drinking to much water" and he laughed and said he would never tell me something that wasn't true and told me to drink as much as I wanted. I have absolutely no problem hitting my goal of water unless I make it a problem and just don't drink enough that day lol

I was sleeved on march 24th. I am now on puréed stage And I go for my 3 week post op appointment in the morning. I'm just wondering if anyone else out there like me feels like they are insanely thirsty? I can literally drink a whole bottle of water 16.9oz in 30 minutes maybe less. I know they say to drink drink drink but is this normal?? I definitely get my water intake daily, but so far today I've only had one protein shake and I finished that within 20 minutes... Just kinda concerned!

I was sleeved by dr.avara march 24th 2014!! I am from Saucier,Ms but I live in Bay St Louis

I was sleeved march 24th. I know only 1-2ounces is all I need and that is supposed to make me feel full but I feel as if I can eat 6 ounces before I feel full. I don't know what to do. I went for my 3 week checkup on the 16th and he told me I was doing great. However it's been just eggs and mashed potatoes and soft things like that because at first tuna fish was ok and now it gives me horrible heartburn to the point I feel like I'm going to puke! Am I doing something wrong???

Yes I am having protein shakes. Not as much as I should but I do have them. And yes I follow my binder from the hospital and at week 3 it says purée foods and soft things like shaved deli meats, cooked vegetables,tuna fish with fat free mayo etc but I know I'm not eating at the right times Or as much as I'm supposed to because I don't feel hungry. I can never eat at the right times

Since my surgery date.

No I'm not drinking while eating. I've lost 25lbs and 16 inches in my stomach so far.

Yay congrats to you!!!! Same for me as well with the 2!! I'm sitting in my surgeons office now waiting on him to come in for my 3 week checkup! I've only lost 23lbs though but was hoping for me! I've been stalled already but I know I've lost more inches I just want to see more weight come off lol

Crystal light has become my best friend. I drink it constantly. I was also reading in my book how it says it should take 30-45 minutes to eat one meal, which is absolutely not the case for me. I mean it doesn't take that long to eat 1.0 ounce. If it did it would be cold and nasty and I couldn't eat it. I'm not having any problems though. It goes down fine and doesn't hurt me and I don't vomit. I don't know what I'm doing wrong.

No problem!! I'll share any information I have
