You Can Gain Weight With The Sleeve



Recommended Posts

Hi Y'all. 125.2 this morning. I read my post from last week and I'm up about 1/2 pound but not concerned. Bought a fitbit pedometer and getting my 10,000 steps every day. Feeling healhier. Now to deal with those sugar craving--yikes!

I think I will stay here because I need to make sure I don't eat like I am out of control. I always found an excuse to eat like a big fat pig when I was fat...so pregnancy is not an excuse to eat like I have lost my mind! AND I WANT TO! So I am around week 7 and I am up 2 pounds. My scale is heavier than my doctor's scale...I am 165.5. I was 163.5 for a couple of months and it never moved which was pretty cool because when I was big I could gain 5 pounds in a day!

Best & good tasting are powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury or nectar.

A close 2nd in quality but tops in taste & consistancy is Chike.

It seems like shakes are very much a matter of personal taste. What kind of flavors do you like / hate?

I found early on that the "chocolate" Protein powders really didn't taste like chocolate at all. I start with Unjury chocolate, add a little salt to cut the artificial sweet taste, add a little unsweetened cocoa powder to boost the chocolate flavor, and mix with warm almond milk or Water for a "hot cocoa" effect. You can do variations like mint, almond, and raspberry hot cocoa by adding a little sf Syrup.< /p>

If I want something more tart, I'll blend a fruity nectar flavor like cherry or something like Chike banana in with some plain greek yogurt.

If I want a coffee flavor, I like the Click mocha protein.

If you can't stand the sweet, could you tolerate something like the unjury chicken Soup flavor as a lunch time broth?

I think until you find something you like, your best bet is to order from places that will sell you sample sizes. I think Unjury still sells single-serving packets. You can order a variety pack of Nectar from BJs Bariatrics or Vitalady.com. I think Chike will sell single packets too.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
