How Are All The May Sleevies Holding Up?



Recommended Posts

So far my favorite Protein Shake has been the Premier Protein (30g) and only 1g of sugar! They taste much like a Yahoo (when my kids were much younger). Sams carries the chocolate but I understand that costco carries the vanilla as well. (strawberry is available on line). I did bring this in to my Dr and he said it was a great one. Since it does not carry enough of the Vitamins I just need to search for a good chewable Multivitamin. Plan to stick with this one, my kids have even started grabbing them on their rushed mornings to get their Protein in.

My NUT hates premier. She says that if you go ingredient by ingredient and calculate the amino acids you only get 8 grams of Protein per shake. Many NUTs have written to the company repeatedly to tell them that they have false advertising but they will not change. Not sure if it true but I stay away from them. She says to add half a scoop of unflavored protein to it to beef t up and then you are good.

I am doing great so far. Just having trouble getting in all my liquids. Had a dizzy spell this morning, almost fainted, so Dr is thinking it is that I am a bit dehydrated & need to up my fluids.

My poor little tummy is full though!

Would anyone like to make or join a May 2012 Sleevers group on Facebook? Then we could all chat with each other on there, live chat if we wanted etc.?

I saw there is the option to make it a secret group too, so others could not see the group or who is in it. As I know not all of us have told all our facebook friends yet & may want to keep that under wraps.

Let me know & if there is enough interest I can set one up, or someone else can do that if they want.

You can find me on facebook too, if you want to add me as a friend... Sharon Ivanauskas.

Sounds really great. Yes, I have told everyone who is important to me but I'm FB friends with so many high school friends and even a couple of ex boyfriends that I would rather keep it secret.

Okay, I think to add you to the Facebook group, I would need to be your friends. Unless anyone else knows how to do it another way?!

So maybe people can friend me on facebook & also send me a message saying that you want to join the May 2012 sleevers group. That way I will remember who is my sleeve friends! I will go set it up now!

Then also send me a message saying you want to join the May 2012 sleevers group, that way I will know to add you!

As the group is secret you can't search for it, or you could, but it won't come up!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
