  • I had a Gastric Sleeve March 2017. I'm 10 1/2 months out and have lost 8O pounds so far. Went from 235 pounds and my goal is 120-130 pounds. Suggest a high protein diet, low fat/low carb. I went through Grand Health Partners in Grand Rapids Mi. They specialize in weight loss and weight loss surgery. Suggest you do your…
  • I have over a 100-125 to lose. Hang in there life gets better. I am having the gastric sleeve done on just over a month. Feel free to add me as a friend. Remember, you need to eat low fat/carb foods and protein. Pintrest has a lot of ideas. I have a 100 Calorie folder with low fat/carb recipients. Feel free to use them.
  • I am getting the sleeve done on March 7th.
  • My husband is a retired Marine. I certainly can relate to what you are going through. Been there for fat too long. Now I finally am taking control and doing something I want. Gastric Sleeve in March. So tired of trying and trying but can't get enough weight off to be happy. I'm putting myself first for once. Hope to be off…
  • Sweetheart, get the hell out of the relationship!!! I have been married for 34 years to the same man. For this man you are Going To Marry doing this kind of behavior, is a warning sign of BAD THINGS TO COME. He treats his son differently than yours. Not good. A true man would treat all the kids the same his or his future…
  • I am Type O. Believe it or not eating more meat (protein) I actually feel better. Surprisingly, what we eat does affect our blood as well as the rest of the body. Because of it I am over 200 pounds and taking my life back by having gastric sleeve done in March 2017. So for those of you who think its all baloney. Only some…
  • Doesn't really work that way. Consistency is the key. If you want a 2000 calorie diet, stick to it. If you are trying to lose weight go for a 1500 calorie diet low in fat & carbs but high in protein. I am having the gastric sleeve in March done. My surgeon has me on a 1200 calorie a day diet with no more than 40-45% carbs,…
  • First of all, who's your doctor? Does he/she specialize in weight loss. If not, might be part of the problem. My PA wasn't supportive. She was to say the least upset I chose weight loss surgery. She left the practice and I switched to the Nurse Practitioner. Much more supportive. Both she and the doctor agreed to refer me…
  • I'm 5'2" and weight 228, but I'm 52 years old. First have you talked to your doctor to find out what calorie intake he wants you at. Mine Bariatric surgeon has me at 1200 daily. Carbs are what kills me. Personally, I am having the gastric sleeve done on March7, 2017. Tired of trying to lose the weight. I need a final fix,…
  • You need more lean protein. This is what fills you up. As you lose fat you need to build muscle. Try adding some health protein shakes, nuts for I between meals. Those good fats should help.
  • I refused the RNY. I know too many people who have had it. Riddled with various complications and gaining weight back. For me I chose the Gastric Sleeve. I think for me that's the best option. Yes, I have 34 years of bad habits to break. It means re-learning and re-training on what and how to eat right. Scheduled for…
  • I'm 52 and weigh 228 lbs. my doctor has me on a 1200 calorie diet. Eat foods low in fat, high in protein. Watch the carbs. Drink plenty of water. As for exercise, walking is free and it's a start. Throw in stairs if you can.
  • I'm also getting the gastric sleeve done on March 7th. I am so excited. Those that say it doesn't work, did not do there research. GS is not a solution, it's a tool that requires lifetime commitment. Yes, you can gain the weight back if you stop following the guidelines. It takes a lot of re-learning, re-training on eat…
  • PINTREST has a lot of low card/low calorie options. I too like popcorn. However at 52 yrs old, I am getting ready for gastric surgery in March and can no long eat it for at least a year if ever again. I have about 120 pounds to lose. You can lose the 20 pounds again. Just remember to exercise. I plan to start with some…
  • My New Years Resolution: get ready for Weight Loss Surgery. I have tried all sorts of diets over the years. Didn't work very well long term. So I decided to take My Life Back! So I am getting the Gastric Sleeve *80% of my stomach is removed*. Like most every women out there we put everyone first but ourselves. So I am…
  • I don't work anymore. With my husbands job, we were making too much money! On average we were paying $5000 or more in taxes for 5 plus years. It is not because we are wealthy or anything. Just not enough deductions. So I understand when you say, you get depressed and everything. Saw a Gastric Surgeon in November 2016. At…
