Hungry as a bear 4 years Post-Op
SassyNanny replied to SusieQ_RN's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Thanks for sharing! I'm stuck at 205 pound after losing 120 in 19 months. Nothing seems to be taking me under 200. I'm longing for onederland and reaching my goal of 160. I'll give the fasting a try. Where on YouTube did you find your info? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -
That doesn't seem too slow. Hang in there! It's a journey not a rave. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Anyone lost 1/2 the weight and then can't loose more?
SassyNanny replied to Sherry S's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Plateaus are very common and can last for weeks sometimes. Track every bite. I use SparkPeople.com. Drink your water. Eat your lean protein first and make sure to get at least 60g a day. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -
Anyone lose more than 50lbs in this age group (over 60) ?
SassyNanny replied to Reddrobin's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I'm 66, 18 months out and 120 down. 40 to go. Took a vacation from tracking and didn't lose anything for 3 months. Back on SparkPeople.com. Goal to get under 200 pounds by months day. Dr told me to aim for 60 grams of daily protein. Sometimes I use premier protein drinks from Costco. Skinless chicken breasts have tons of protein. Greek yogurt too.

3 meals or 6? How much do you y'all eat? (Post- op vets)
SassyNanny replied to xoxococojay's topic in Post-op Diets and Questions
Check with your Dr after blood work to make sure protein intake over 60g a day is recommended. Too much puts a strain on your kidneys and can cause kidney stones. I was doing 100 and he put me back to 60+- Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -
Being too sensitive or not?
SassyNanny replied to naima's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
You look marvelous! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -
If you ask for help and experienced sleevers take time out of their day to offer it don't get snarky at them for not "being supportive". This is what support looks like. They asked specific questions to ascertain what your idea of a meal plan looks like. Are you logging every bite you take faithfully? I use SparkPeople.com daily and I'm 18 months out and 120 pounds gone at 66. Are you walking? Are you drinking a protein drink like Premier protein from Costco with 30g of protein? How many calories a day are you ingesting? How many grams of protein are you getting daily? Are you drinking all your water daily? What does your Dr recommend? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Before and After Pics
SassyNanny replied to Roserie's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
One of the tools that really has helped me was using SparkPeople.com If I write down everything I put in my mouth it keeps me conscious and helps with mindless eating. It is free. I've lost 120 since surgery on 11/18/15. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -
After a long self imposed stall, my scale moved this week. I'm down 118 pounds and weigh 205 as of my 66th birthday on Monday . It dawned on me today that my late mother weighed 118 pounds for most of her life. Then my manicurist shared that is what she weighs. It really has hit me that I have lost an entire person. Awe inspiring! I'll let you know when I make it to Onederland. It shouldn't take too much longer. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Over 60 and having the sleeve
SassyNanny replied to ginnylee's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I'll be 66 next month. Had the sleeve 11/18/15 and have gone from 324 pounds to 210 pounds. I'm amazed at how easy it has been. I'm so happy. I have 50 pounds more to go. I gained a pound over the holidays. Back to basics and tracking again. Happy New Year everybody. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -
I'm not Mian, LOL but the key to mixing any Protein powder with hot liquids is to mix it with a little bit of warm Water or milk until it dissolves and then mix that into the hot liquid. I've used genepro. I followed the directions. There is a difference between how you add it in depending on whether it's hot or cold. Sometimes I'd put it in the nutribullet to blend well. Just make sure if it's a hot liquid to allow enough space to allow for the heat.

Well we made it. One year ago we had this life altering surgery. I'm down 110 pounds with no problems at all. I feel great and look so much better. hair is coming back in and loose skin doesn't show in clothes much. I'll deal with that after the last 59 pounds are gone. Or not. At almost 66 it's not the highest of my priorities. I can walk without crying. I can dance again. I can play with my grandchildren. Shopping. Yay!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

How does age affect success and weight loss rate
SassyNanny replied to trekker954's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I bet that you will! With 160 pounds to lose I am down 112 within the first year. At 65 I thrilled and haven't had any negatives. Well, loose skin, but that was inevitable. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -
