meggiep 57 Posted May 14, 2012 Congratulations! Any advice for new sleeves like myself. I had surguery on May 1st I can only tell you what I did- I followed the "rules" strictly for the first six months- less than 40 carbs a day, 60-80 grams of Protein, more than 64 ounces of Water, and working out every day or nearly every day. Then, as I added more and more working out and basically got addicted to it I added carbs and calories as I got tired and realised I needed more. I also recommend reaching out for support- lots of it! I am in multiple Facebook groups and I join challenges in them all the time- accountability is everything, and so is support when the going gets tough. Most importantly- when you do blow it, binging, whatever form that takes for you- forgive yourself and move on! I was not perfect- an eleven day long lost weekend comes to mind lol. Keep on keeping on and move as much as you can! Good luck to you- I care! YOU LOOK AMAZING! I just posted that I got my approval today and I'm petrified but looking at your progress makes me calm down a bit!!!! It is the best thing I ever did! You will love it. Meggie, I follow you on YouTube and cried this morning when I watched your surgiversary video. What a journey - and as I commented at You Tube a while ago, your journey convinced me that I too can do this, I am not too old to turn it around! Thanks for the inspiration. I am so glad I inspired you! We are never too old to come alive again! I look YEARS younger now, and feel it too. MWAH! Wow you look great! You spoke at my orientation meeting, and that helped me decide on the VSG. I went into the meeting set on getting the Lapband, but you spoke so positively about your surgery I changed my mind right there. Congratulations, I hope I can be as successful as you have been!!! I am so glad that you saw me! Speaking there means a lot to me. Do you come to the support group? I would love to connect with you more! I go every month. xoxo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

susnl 17 Posted May 21, 2012 Meggie, You look terrific. I was out of town last week on our anniversary. I am still 11.6 lbs from my final goal but I am still thrilled with the changes the past year has brought. Best decision ever!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
