[Nursebeauty23 11]

Hope everyone is doing well!! I'm down 22 pounds from May 16th. Feeling good for the most part. Sticking to low carb high Protein meals. Easy on sugary stuff as I already experienced the dreaded "dumping syndrome" getting in Protein is Struggle but I'm getting better day by day

Cool you and I have lost the same thing since surgery...I'm at 22.2...........and 48 over all!! I'm doing great!

I'm down 31 so far since May 19th!

[Sparkchaser 6]

In eating 2-3 oz of meat, and a couple small bites of veggies and I'm stuffed. I'm working on trying to get more variety

Good morning!!! How are you guys taking your B12

Wasn't told to take it. I just take my Vitamin patch and that's it. My labs have been fine

I take the sublingual B12 from costco

[evette305 12]

Okay thank you. I was thinking about asking my doctor to give a RX for the B12. So I only have to take it monthly with a shot

I had my sleeve surgery in WA. state the morning of May 16, 2016 and so far I've had a very smooth experience. I'm down 31 lbs. since surgery and 60 lbs. from my highest weight. I do exercise daily with an hour of Water aerobics and 20 minutes of walking. I am able to meet an average of 70-80 grams of protein/day and very restricted carbs. My NUT wants me to eliminate the fruit smoothies I have for Breakfast, which she calls slider foods, and to use more food items that are not processed through a Ninja which breaks down the Fiber.

I do have a few cups of caffeinated coffee every morning and she would like me to just have one cup. Overall, this has been a very positive experience and now to continue to lose another 85 lbs. or so.

Good morning!!! How is everyone doing? Where almost hitting 3 months.

[kmorri 1,689]

I'm doing great! Never felt better. I haven't had any issues and feel like I'm doing well with my weight loss. I'm a little more than half way to my goal at almost 57 pounds lost.....(that includes what I lost during the two weeks pre-op).

[evette305 12]

@kmorri. That's great. I have not had any issue either. But I am looking for another Protein Shake to try beside Unjury

[kmorri 1,689]

@@evette305 I don't use any Protein shakes, and haven't since I was about 4 weeks post-op. I hate all of them. I get all my Protein from the food I eat,.

Hey there ! How are my May 16 sleeve buddies doing?!

[kmorri 1,689]

I'm doing great, down almost 81 pounds and only 26 pounds from my "pie in the sky" goal...haha Actually I do think I may have set my goal a little too low....I'm thinking I'll be happy with about 15 more instead of the 26.

How about you @@bellawlsjourney ?
