  1. Flings tones chewable gummy bears lol... Taste great
  2. Best advice to you... STOP WATCHING THE scale ...It is not your friend. Keep doing what you are doing and allow your body to adjust to the transformation. Get frustrated doesn't speed up the process, remaining positive and adoring every small aspect of change is. Trust me. Rome want built in the day a d even the workers who built it took days off. LoL
  3. My advice to all of you having this craving and urge is to actually go back and understand what the sleeve was created for. Some assume the main reason was to stop eating junk. Not saying you'll do but some people I crossed path with did. The sleeve = portion control So you don't have to feel bad about have junk food if it is in moderation. Just don't over do it. I actually implement the half rule. Eat half of everything and either save or throw out the rest lol.. Trust me it works and limits caloric intake... So indulge just don't get arrived away! Lol
  4. So I'm back home Officially. Doctor has me on blood thinners (Coumadin) for the next 6 months and for the next 2 weeks lovanox shots 12hrs apart. When I got home a couple days ago I feel extremely weak and nausea played a great role. Very thing just felt extremely difficult to accomplish, but I noticed the more I increased my water intake and literally forced myself to eat, I've been feel quite better. Today has to be the best I've felt in a longtime so I'm hoping tomorrow bears the same results with a lot more progression. As far as protein I have not been drinking it, I won't even lie lol. It makes me feel sick and I find it to be very ironic because I LOVED drinking protein shakes and powdered mixes Pre-opt. I guess the sleeve really does affect your taste buds in so many ways, I never noticed prior. I'm off the liquid stage finally. I started eating spaghettini and chilli. That's my ish for the time being and it does me JUSTICE! I try to eat at least 2 spoons of ricotta cheese every 6hrs. It helps a bit. I stopped taking that god awful protein shot which consist of 15g of protein. It really taste awful and made me hurl quite a few times. I mixed it with so many different juices and the taste still engulfs all flavors. I stopped taking my multivitamins, which were in pill form and had to crushed, and switched to flinestones gummy bear multivitimans which are great! Very light on the tummy I must say. My energy has returned, my heartbeat has slowed down, and the dizzy I use to feel Everytime I stood up from sitting down or laying in bed is minimal. I hope for it to become nOn existent in a week or two. I will officially Begin work again Monday morning. I'm a firm believer that starting work and getting back into my normal routine would also stimulate my body to heal faster, so I'm all for it. Wanted my surgery to a secret but the cat got out of the bag when I was rushed two weekends ago to the hospital. Now everyone in my immediate family knows. Oh well. Everyone had questions and even though I didn't feel like I needed to to explain myself I did so anyway. At least they would have my side of the story and not jump to crazy conclusions like they always do. Well, I'm about to sign off for a bit and get my water intake on and watch some tv. Hope everyone else is doing well! Thanks for listening! Later
  5. Congrats welcome to the losers bench!
  6. I found it funny that the women were the very first to comment on his man issue Smh lol... Here's an honest trick if you think it's a chaffing issue use vaseline around the area OR powder it up... Thank me when this issue is past tense!
  7. Lack of water intake is the cause for this. Increase your h2o and u will be fine
  8. Probably dehydrated... Do you get dizzy and lose a lil vision like you see a whole bunch of white flares?
  9. It's usually 85% of the stomach for this surgery
  10. Solid stage usually week 4 is best
  11. My dr woke me up as soon as the got to the recovery room
  12. I brought a girdle type thingy that does the same... It's for therapeutic rehab
  13. I'm still in the hospital officially 8 days now. I have no appetite at all, no source of hunger, jus minor cravings that fade away with the commercial. I feel on a scale from 1-10 physically: 7, mentally: 5, and emotionally: 5... Dr said I have blood clots in my abdomen. He put me in blood thinners for 3-6months. Currently on the mushy stage but I don't know what to eat at all
