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!

HW/DOS 245

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.

      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.
