Well today i hit 6 mths of being sleeved. Yes i had complications upto about 4 mths, still have reflux a couple of days out of the week and would love to just be able to eat a little more.... and at a normal pace as you all well know but i think that will come in time :) i have lost 88 lbs which i would never have been able to do by myself so for that i am thankful. I do have 1 question, i find myself still feeling tired, anyone else 6 mths out??? Each day it does get better, sometimes the regret of what did does come back but life goes on and we must just enjoy it :)

Congrats on your progress! I sure hope you get to feeling you can change your member name someday ;) With complications, your body has really been hit hard. May take a little longer to recoup. Are you eating/snacking/drinking enough? I found early on that I had a lot more energy if I added some carbs to my Protein smoothies and snack list. I ate more carby Proteins like Beans, blended bananas or peaches or berries and skim milk with my Protein Drink, and added oatmeal to my Greek yogurt, etc. Also make sure you are taking your Vitamins, including a separate D3 and sublingual (or injectable) B12. Does your doc do 6 month bloodwork to check Iron and Vitamin levels? These things could definitely make you tired if low.

Somedays i still am unhappy with my decision but it is getting easier as the months go by - maybe one day i can be happysleever......

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
