Shemy-away

Hi, thanks so much for your response, I tried Isopure and it worked great in the beginning, but now when I drink it, it burns like fire. It has some citric acid in it I believe.

I can't stomach these anymore

What you are going through is totally normal!! I'm 2 weeks post op today so its still fresh in my mind. Just 2 days ago I was able to sleep on my side again and I still have a little bit of incisional pain. The weird sensation in your chest is from the swelling in your stomach. Take it easy and give the fluids at leas a minute to get through the opening before sipping again. This will go away as the swelling in your stomach subsides. I'm much better now at getting fluids in, although I have to remember to go slow. Congratulations by the way!!

I usually get the Sobe at Kroger. I've seen it other grocery stores and even gas stations.

As far as my schedule, I eat when I'm hungry but I try to not let myself get hungry if that makes sense. I usually have a protien shake in the morning, a mid morning snack, lunch, an afternoon snack, dinner and usually a snack around 8pm. So, I eat 6 small meals a day. I eat protien at every meal and snack and if I don't eat a little protien around 8pm then I'm up in the night with hunger pangs. I eat mostly eggs, cheese, Beans and meat or fish. fruit or applesauce with no sugar added helps me get my calories in if I need them and also gives me a little Fiber.< /p>

Good ideas. Thanks for replying!

I didn't see any text.

I didn't have those pains, but maybe it's from your lungs reexpanding after the anesthesia. It could also be from the swelling in your core. It may have prevented your lungs from being able to fully expand. I hope its nothing serious. Hopefully someone knows exactly what it is.

Wow that's great news!! Congratulations!!!

I love Sobe Fuji Apple and Pear. It's really good. Also, I'm 5 weeks out and yes I do count calories. My surgeon told me last week that he wants me to eat at least 1000 calories a day to speed up my weight loss.

What does your daily schedule look like to get in 1000 calories? Do you eat every 2 hours? or do you eat really high calorie Protein options?

I noticed after surgery I couldn't handle plain Water either. I've been using propel.

The way my husband can't stop staring or can't keep his hands off of me I feel like we're back in highschool!

I love Vitamin Water, but I am having problems with fake sugar too. I would have to drink the real thing. I love the dragon fruit flavor, but will the citric acid bother me? I don't know, but will try it.

I figure, we are eating so little calories, that the regular versions of things shouldn't hurt us in the weight loss department.

I'm happy for you!! I have to admit, when I saw your title I was like, OMGoodness, what did B do to her???

What a great way to apply the song to yourself!! Good luck tomorrow!!

Im on my second stage but no meats for me

I can only have yogurt, cheeses, eggs, and Beans.< /p>

Surgeon said no meats until 30 days.

But at least I can have Boca burgers!! It looks enough like a hamburger that I may psyche myself LOL

I'm 2 weeks out. I feel the same way. I wondered why did I have this surgery if I have to be a carb nazi for the rest of my life?

No suggestions for you I use MIO but it's starting to taste really sweet to me now. I may have to cut back. I like Vitamin Water.< /p>

and if i have to drink another Protein Shake i'm gonna lose it

How is everyone doing??

I am getting sleeved March 20...less than 48 hours away!!!! I'm so excited and I wish everyone the best on their surgery dates.

Good luck today!! Keep us posted!

Thanks for the info!

Have you tried gas-x strips?

Hey everyone

I think I'm lactose intolerant. I've been drinking nectar Protein, EAS, and Myoplex for about a month now (2 weeks before surgery and now 2 weeks after). I had no issues and all of a sudden, i'm throwing up and running to the bathroom. I knew this may happen but other than Unjury, how can i get in my protein? I don't want to go back to broth only. I'm doing so well.

Please help!

Also, I've done a search but I didn't see much other than Unjury.

Hi,

I have it too, but from my beer belly. I ran accross this site which I found to be encouraging. Don't worry, it's very common.

Best,

Philip

Thanks for the info!

Made it all the way. Sitting here in hospital. Pain isn't bad. The only thing killing me is this nose tube that I have.

Oh no the dreaded NG tube!!! So happy you're doing well and Welcome to the loser's bench!!!

Hello everyone! It's nice to have found this forum!

Congrats to all the new and future sleevers.

I had my sleeve 3-6-12. I'm doing well just finding it hard to get in my Water and Protein requirements

My scars are starting to keloid. I knew this may happen as I'm prone to keloids but is there anything you ladies could recommend that will help reduce the scarring? I was told to use cocoa butter, mederma, and massage it to try and smooth it down.
