PPI is Pronton Pump Inhibitor. Acid control medication like Nexium, Protonox, Prilosec, Zegrid, Aciphex, etc. Kelly

Glad to hear you are doing well! I must agree that the gas pains are the worst!! At least they were for me. Give it about 4 days or so and it will break loose. Keep us posted on your progress. Kelly

there is nothing you can do to stop the hairloss. it will stop once you level out with your weightloss. don't waste your money on Vitamins and hair stuff. it will not help and it will grow back on its own! Kelly

You can take ANY medication with the sleeve. There aren't restrictions of ANY type. That is the bypass that you can not take them. My dr. asked that I not take Ibuprofen for 3 months post-op just to give my stomach time to heal, but I can take them now. Kelly

I walk, run, use my total gym, and workout tapes. I like to mix it up to keep myself interested and keep my body guessing. That is what works for me! Kelly

Good for you apple!! I was just wondering yesterday how you were doing. I have not seen you on here in a while! You are really working it gurl!! GOOD JOB!! Kelly

Meatloaf with gravy, mashed potatoes, eggsalad, tunasalad, salmon, chickensalad, scrambled eggs, refried Beans, lunchmeats, soft cheese, meatballs, cottage cheese, Soup, Protein drinks. These are some things that will def get you through. Kelly

I don't really count my carbs, I do track them, but don't freak out if i hit 60 in a day! BECAUSE I don't eat junk. My carbs are ALL from fruit and veggies. I don't worry about it. Oh and my vitamins! If I eat a banana, that could have 30g of carbs in it, but I don't care, it's a banana and not a donut! Hardly think I will get fat from it! Kelly

AWESOME AWESOME!! Congrats! Kelly

My goodness, you look amazing!!! Give yourself a BIG pat on the back!! Kelly

I would say ask your dr., but mine recommend birth control for 2 years. Kelly

Don't get upset over nothing until you know for sure. I was told the same thing kinda by my surgeon. He was kinda hesitant in the begining to do the sleeve on my because of my history with GERD. I have had it for 8 years and sometimes it was BAD!! I did not want bypass and he wouldn't do it anyway because I have to take Ibuprofen. He refused to do the band also because he hate it. Anyway, he made me do 2 upper GI's and upper endoscopy with bioposy also! I was so scared thinking they found things wrong with me. There was nothing at all wrong with me, just H PYLORI bacteria, that was all they found! Simple nasty antibotics took care of it. I actually feel alot better with my reflux after surgery than I did before. I think it helped with it. He was so afraid that it would get worse, but it really hasn't.....knock on wood!! Kelly

You are so friggen awesome!! Kelly

You can puree meat. The best way to do it is to add a little gravy to it to make it moist. Chicken with chicken gravy is good. Meatloaf with the same-yummy. Pot roast with brown gravy-super yumm. You can buy the heinz gravy in the jar or campbells makes some in the can that is good. Good luck! Kelly

I am in the same boat too!! I was sleeved May 9th and have lost 44lbs since surgery, but 99lbs overall. I am very close to my goal and find it very hard to lose now. I have lost 1lb in 3 weeks!!! I use myfitnesspal.com faitfully daily and I exercise!! I am just a little over 3 months out and feel like I will never get there at this rate. I don't know if it is because I have such a small amount to go that it is harder, but I can tell you that is sucks! I don't eat bad carbs at all and the only carbs that I do eat are from fruits and veggies. I have not eaten bread, rice, pasta, etc. since before surgery, so I know it is not that. I also have not had any sweets. They scare me with others saying they get sick!! I follow my rules of protein, protein, protein. I just don't get it! UGHHH!!! Kelly

My largest Sizes: 2-3xTops, 22W Pants, 9 Panties, 42D Bra, 8.5 Ring, 10WShoe... Me today: M Tops, 8-10 Pants, 6 Panties, 36D Bra, 7 Ring (Getting too big now), 9M Shoe. Kelly

I too eat spicy stuff. It has only once bothered me and it was taco meat. Not really even sure if it was that, but I blame that! Woke up choking on acid. All the other times, I have been fine. I ate spicy about 4 weeks out. Kelly

AWESOME!! so happy for you! Kelly

Foster Farms meatballs are really yummy and have like 16 g protein in 3. I can only eat 2-2.5, but still that is alot. Amylu carmalized onion chicken burgers from Costco are good and juicy. I eat those alot, they have 22g of protein in 1, but are big and I can only eat 1/2. Chicken salad and tuna salad Wendy's Chili Greek yogurt-i don't like it, but lots of people do Cottage cheese Foster Farms oven roasted turkey breast lunch meat with laughing cow cheese wedge spread on it-YUMMM Oscar Meyer roast beef with the same as above Baked salmon Precious cheese stick These are just some of the things I like to eat. Hope it helps you. Kelly

I don't have that much further to goal and am finding it is really getting HARD!!! I have not lost a thing in 2 weeks and I track and exercise daily. I will not get discouraged tho, I know what I am doing is right and I will keep on keepin' on!! Kelly
