January Sleevers ❄️



Recommended Posts

To me, 6 months PLUS is where the rubber hits the road.

Will I lose the last 50 pounds?!!?!!

Can I keep my sleeve weight loss program going and NOT start get sloppy with food and attitude.

Because I feel really good at 63lbs lighter my crazy mind keeps saying...maybe this weight is good enough. IT's NOT. I didn't do all of this to give up at the half way goal!!! Or get sloppy and gain some back! Crazy monkey mind gets me in trouble if I'm not paying attention.

Besides being in a staff for 2 weeks all is well.

Best too all of you and keep up the good work.

Questions 1. Has anyone tried or found a decent ice coffee? 2. Anyone having skin issues ie.my pimples are back and when I go in the sun my skin looks leathery n peels never had that before

.

I have iced americanos with some half and half all the time. Yummy! I haven't done anything blended yet. Feel like it's all sugary and full of air...

Your poor skin!! I have the normal sagging and aging that comes with loss but not the peeling. I would def ask your dr about that!

CURRENT 185

GOAL 140

Confession: I've only exercised once since surgery. I'm my own worst enemy sometimes. I know I could see the scale move down a whole lot faster if I would only get moving!

I'm not sure if you're asking about Protein Drinks or not but have you ever tried Syntrax Nectar lattes, Cappuccino flavor? It's awesome! and taste pretty much just like those Starbucks Frappuccino mocha bottles you get at the supermarket I make mine with cold fat free or 2% milk yum yum and sometimes I blend it with ice... :)

where do you buy those they sound yummy! I was originally asking about coffee for days I can't seem to wake up since we can no longer drink pop.. But I'm all for learning about good Protein shakes, I haven't found one that I like yet

you can find Syntrax Nectars at GNC and Vitamin Shoppe but I get my Protein from mybariatricpantry.com it's cheaper and you can also get sample packets to try them out first before buying the big tub :) so far the syntrax flavors that I like to mix with milk are the cappuccino, fuzzy navel, strawberry mousse and double stuffed cookie and the ones I mix with Water or juice are the syntrax ice tea (I mix that with diet peach Snapple or crystal light ice tea flavor) and the lemonade... if you want some links I'll be happy to send you some... also that website has some other coffee drinks from different brands that I haven't tried yet, that you can drink hot or cold and they have caffeine.. I just got a sample one so my husband can try it so well see how that goes :)

Iced coffee...I have it everyday! I order it black with sweet n low and bring my own Sugar Free/fat free international Creamers with me. I love the chocolate almond biscotti or Carmel delite. During the holidays they also have pumpkin spice. Yummy and basically carb free. Only 15 cals-keeps me honest and on track.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
