Congratulations and welcome to Sleevetalk. Am I the only person who got all my Protein in on clears? I am glad that unflavored GNC Protein powder didn't bother me at all.

Good luck with eating a sandwich.:lol0:

I had 4 oz of lobster today. Tried to bring the steak home but my dog grabbed it out of my purse on the way home. She had a good dinner.

Well I hope it goes away because it's really getting annoying. Since surgery I have lost my keys, my daughter's keys, my dad's gold chain and my mp3 player. I am beginning to feel like a crazy person. No comments from the peanut gallery.

They are complaining that Mac sticks up for you.

it's nothing compared to a C section.

I read over there, because there are people that have had their sleeves a lot longer than anyone here. I hate their set up too.

You have definitely made the right decision. I had my band out and I love my sleeve!

I hope Alex fixed it because they were talking about it at OH again. I don't like it that they think this site is linked to a porn site.

this is how I make it. Boil how ever many eggs as you want. chop them up and add either mayo or miracle whip to get it was wet at you want. Add a tiny bit of mustard and as much pickle relish as you like. I ate it a lot on mushies. I could eat about 2 tablespoons 3 times a day.

yes, as long as you know that you'll only be able to eat these itty bitty portions. You can definitely eat around the sleeve, just like you can with a band. There are people who are grazers, and just eat a little bit, but do it all day long , or all evening long. The surgery pain is the easiest part of all of this. Once I ate fish, and I thought I had only eaten a little bit. I didn't feel full at the table. Once I stood up, I knew I was in trouble. I was so full, I was in horrible pain for 2 hours. I thought my stomach was going to explode. I really did not eat all that much, either.

On OH, they tried to eat as much cottage cheese as they possibly could, to see how much they could eat, or how much their stomach has stretched. I can't remember how much they decided was the most , but WasA had to use egg salad because she hates cottage cheese.

I hope Bob is completely ready to eat itty bitty portions for the rest of his life. I know it does stretch over time, but WasA tells me she can only eat a quarter of a sandwich and she is a year out.

I left the window open in the chat room.

that's what I meant. Since it's near the hospital, they probably do see it a lot. I even wondered if I should get dressed. I really had no reason to be in PJ's and a robe in the middle of the day. I just hadn't brought many clothes with me.

I am not a fan of salt either. So many things taste salty to me, like cheese. My daughter is always telling me I am nuts.

The staples do stay in your permanently. They are permanently removing part of your stomach, so that side has to be stapled off. I can't answer the gall stones question. Most doctors want their patients on an acid reducer for 3 months after surgery. I can't answer you going back to work question either. I went back in less than a week. I have a desk job. I could have gone back the day after I was released from the hospital. I wasn't in pain, and really could not tell I had surgery. There are people who say they don't feel very good for a couple of weeks after surgery.

Me too. I really feel like I never had surgery unless I try to eat steak.

That would be great Ruthi. I would like to read it again, and things are so hard to find on OH.

Thank you Alex. That would be great.

Adding cottage cheese won't add many carbs either.

How about me walking around the neighborhood in my bathrobe looking to pick up a cell phone signal. They must be used to crazy Americans in their bathrobes because nobody even gave me weird look.

Maybe I will go back there and copy/paste the article. I know it makes no sense to me how the two could be related.

Do the chat rooms have to be linked together as well? Can't we have it so if they want to come into the sleeve chat room, they have to log out of the lap band talk and log into our chat room?

That's what I have always been told too, Mac. However, way to go Elisabeth.I am glad all your hard work is showing!:lol0:
