Need advice: Protein drinks
tenseintexas replied to Tonabella's topic in Protein, Vitamins, and Supplements
I didn't get my protein all in for q long time . Good luck ! Good news is this will probably all change . I hated everything for a few months( really almost everything - even waterl - but. Now it's a lot better . Do the best you can -
My bmi was 33 I think - my stomach doesn't look great- shockingly my inner thighs have a little bit - I was surprised because my legs have always been the smallest thing on me. I personally think there isn't Much you can do to prevent.

I just did this today . I still have about 15 more pounds to go- and I am still sacred to actually throw them away. I've never kept weight off so it is scary to pull the plug

I drink Coke Zero occasionally. I let it get pretty flat.

Hey August 2016 sleevers, how are you doing in Jan 2017?
tenseintexas replied to diana tx's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Hello! I have been wanting to hear from others who were sleeves about the same time I started at 212 and am not at 156. I am def losing slow but I have not really exercised much at all [emoji15][emoji15] I know that's terrible and am getting on it soon. -
Not sure but That's how they do it in weight watchers:)

Do any of you vets completely ignore this rule?
tenseintexas posted a topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Does anyone drink carbonated diet drinks with regularity?? food still grosses me out but after 9 weeks I still dream about my coke zeros . I wanted to go a year with none but man that's a long time. Yes... I know they recommend never having them again--- Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App -
I didn't really want to eat for the first four months at all. I was also nauseas for months . Food just isn't nearly as interesting to me anymore. Great luck- it will all come together!

tenseintexas replied to NurseBec's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I think it totally is just a crap shoot- or maybe it's genetics?? I have survey we August 15 and haven't haven't had any loss .... Yet! I was not good at getting protein in at all in the first few months - apparently in comes back!! Sorry- I know that is hard -
I was at a 34 bmi I think. I am 6 months out and 15 pounds away from begin in the normal bmi range! It has slowed down a lot now - I only lost three pounds last month- but it's my fault- haven't done Water Protein etc- great lucj Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

9 Months and the Game is Changing
tenseintexas replied to IveGotThePower's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Not what you want to hear and you are further a Long than me --- but I find logging my food is so eye opening. When I have a " tiny little snack" that little snack adds up so quick Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App -

Dealing with comments like "You're too thin!" and "You're not going to lose much more, are you?"
tenseintexas replied to WillWorkForShoes's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Just try to relish it.... I mean someone is saying you are too skinny!! Annoying yes but I mean come on!!' Can you believe the words!! Yeah! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App -
Pooping question....sorry!

Do you ever feel like this is it?!
tenseintexas replied to mzzmisty's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I am six months out- and I lost 3 pounds last month- so yeah I totally feel you. I don't eat correctly all the time but I am always under 1200 calories - which is what I am supposed to do - so that's annoying. I just can't get enough food by starting Protein first. I can get about one bite in before my stomach hurts. And one bite of roast for dinner doesn't seem good right? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App -
I was pushed to the edge when my cholesterol was high and I was about to have to get on meds- turns out 6 months after surgery my cholesterol actually WENT UP -and I am now on meds for that ( along with the mountain of vitamins) but still happy I did it Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Low-BMI women who have lost quickly - how did you do it?
tenseintexas replied to anonmom's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I think slow and steady is the answer . I don't think there are tricks or secrets... It's all pretty basic- Water Protein first - exercise. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App -
I was 212 5'4 and self pay too. Please don't let social situations deter you- I mean for the first few months - yes - but after that you just eat like a normal slim person! ( maybe a little less) it's amazing- food doesn't have the hold it once did! Which is the best most amazing part to me . Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Oh and by the way- I was one of the ones who regretted the crap out of this surgery... ( had severe nausea months 2 and 3) and now am so happy I did it Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Considering Gastric Sleeve
tenseintexas replied to Walter.Sobchak's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
This surgery could be life changing for you.... But I would start seeing a therapist first.... The surgery can also cause a little depression with all the changes afterwards . Just make sure you are ready mentally. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App -
Dallas doctors indicted by Feds in massive Dallas hospital conspiracy.
tenseintexas replied to Buffy1's topic in Weight Loss Surgeons & Hospitals
I didn't need to lose much more than that and I don't think my doctor is unethical or crooked to of performed my survey . How many people do you know that can lose that and keep it off? As you know the statistics are very against that- even those who just need to lose 50-60 Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App -
I had severe nausea starting at week 7 I think? It lasted for 6 straight weeks- I basically went back to Clear liquids phase- it was horrible. I was very down and my surgeon just said it will eventually pass but that it was very abnormal. It was miserable. But it did oass Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
