Got caught up on the recent posts so happy we have all continued to be blessed and are moving in a positive direction! I was sleeved 6/24 and down 41+ lbs I'm loving my sleeve had a few set backs but back on my way to moving forward on this journey I'm still a work in progress as we all are ! I'm just in from hiking my very first 5 miles I'm sore but feel alive ! Hoping everyone has a blessed Sunday and keep up the amazing job all!!

Trust me' date=' I feel like a fatty eating so much more than everyone else here...

...until I remember that my journey is my own. What works for ME is what matters (along with my awesome doc's advice!). Good luck!![/quote']

I have found that I lose more when I eat around 1,000 calories. I was not given a calorie range and a really low Protein range (50-60 grams). The protein range seems extremely low to me so I don't worry too much when I exceed it.

Wow I was sleeved on 6/24 and I'm down 47 lbs I'm 231 now. But some days I feel like I'm just fat as hell and other days I don't. I know I've lost the weight but others see it so well. Get compliments all day long. I just need help with getting in my Protein and my Water which I started to love before and after surgery now Im sick of it. Need new shake recipes. But Congrats on your success.

I was sleeved on 6/24 as well and down 49 lbs. Sounds like we 3 are in the same boat! Cheers to us! I'm at 237 as of yesterday. I still have energy issues & it sucks to eat. I do Protein Shakes for Breakfast and a Quest bar for lunch a modified dinner with hubby & son.

Are you taking B 12 shots? Once I started taking those me energy level has skyrocketed

No , I don't do shots but the kind that dissolves. Maybe I should ask my primary doctor? I feel it's holding me back from excersiing. I get dizzy & see stars & feel faint. I even eat Protein before. Do u think the shots would be better? Do u do the shots yourself or does the doctor?

That is awesome you have lost 47 lbs . I completely agree I feel the same way some says and at times realize that unless you have gone through or are going through this journey you can not know what we go through with the "new me" I use the Internet for different shake ideas it really does make a difference since I can't seem to tolerate a lot of food but I'm working on it

I do the B-Complex with B-12. You can get it at Wal-Mart. You put it under your tongue for 30 seconds, but it is liquid instead of a tablet and it gives me a boost as well. My NUT told me to do that instead of B-12 dots because that is the B-Comples and B-12 all in one. Not sure if they have you taking a B-Complex or not, though.

Yes absolutely. I noticed a big difference in 2 days after I got my first shot. My surgery date was 6/11/13 and I just got my second shot. I am all kinds of active. HW 260 SW 248 CW 197. Lost 31 lbs in first 15 days after surgery. was weak as hell now I feel great. The shots only cost me 37$ for a 10 month supply. That is without insurance. Hope this helps

Is this something you had to inject yourself? If so, where on your body ? That scares me! Thanks for your help!

Hi guys. August 10th was three month mark. So here I go with the stats:

When I decided to have surgery my weight was 289

Surgery day 275 down 14 lbs

end of June weight 253 that made 22 pounds in a few weeks

end of July weight was 244 down another 9 lbs

end of August weight 234 down another 10 lbs

September 10 weight was 229 that means I am down another 5 lbs.

Total down from surgery is 46 lbs and total weight loss is 60 lbs.

I am now 5 lbs from my half way goal. YEAH!
