At what point did you begin using straws again?!
SmilingBeauty replied to cal2okl's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I never stopped using them. They were the only way I could get my fluids down in those early stages. Now I don't use them as much as I use to but they were a life saver early out. -

Thanks everyone!!!!! -
I am almost 8 months out and I finally reached the 100 pounds lost mark! Yyyyaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyy!!!!!!!! I started this process at 315 and today I weigh 214.6. Another 70 pounds would put me in the normal BMI range. My one year anniversary is May 26th. I would like to at least lose another 40 lbs by my surgiversary. Onederland Is so close. Can't wait to reach it.

Valentine's Day Weight Loss Challenge

My weight 214.6! I have finally reached 100 pounds lost. -
Maybe you should up your calories to 1600 -1800 for the amount of exercise you are doing. Also, the more muscle you build, the more calories you burn. So you could be burning more calories just sitting than you were when you were heavier combined with the exercise and you have a huge calorie deficit. Just a thought. I am 7 months out and have not reached goal. I am just going on what I have been told about losing. Good luck

Do you use tools like My Fitness Pal, Fitbit, etc?
SmilingBeauty replied to Balance's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I use MyFitnessPal and a Fitbit Zip. I love them both. I lost one Zip and had to get a replacement ASAP I felt naked without it. -

Best way I have found to make coffee
SmilingBeauty replied to Nurse_Lenora's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
I use Premier Ready to Drink chocolate shake in my coffee. It does not lump up at all. Coffee is a diuretic and contains acid. I am fine with my Columbian Decaf. Occasionally I have real coffee but I don't make it a habit. -
Best way I have found to make coffee
SmilingBeauty replied to Nurse_Lenora's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
I was told not to use the instant coffee packets because they contain caffeine. So now I put chocolate Protein shake and sugar free peppermint mocha creamer in my coffee. I usually have to put it in the microwave to heat it up so it's hot. -

Surgeon follow up issues
SmilingBeauty replied to kanaud's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm sorry that you experienced that. My follow up appointments have always been scheduled at the conclusion of the appointment I am in. Could i possible be due to the holidays? Try calling back on a different day and explaining your situation. I also would not be able to take off with such short notice.
