I live 30 min. from Cincy and I went to Dr. Almanza in TJ Mexico. It was a single flight and I did very well. Best wishes.

I'm so happy I found this post! Thank you!

Thanks for the replies. I don't know why I can have fried, but not scrambled or boiled. I think I will try the egg beaters. I can't have milk with lactose now either, but I can have cheese and yogurt. Strange sleeve!

I eat sushi, my favorite is eel. It's kind of a waste to buy it for myself because It takes about an hour to eat 3 slices (there are 9 in a meal). I hate throwing away the rest, but a sleeve girl has got to do, what a sleeve girl got to do. Best wishes

I had the puffy sleeve wedding dress too. Congrats! I haven't tried mine yet.

This nsv made me feel good.

I like how I've changed making the family meals. I don't want my kids having the same weight problems I had. They now have less starches and more protein. I don't keep chips or soda in the house and I swapped out fruit and veggie trays for snacks. Even the cereal I pick are grain, heart healthy ones. I'm hoping to end the fat cycle with me. Best wishes

I like' New Whey' I split it into 2 portions and per portion I add 2/3 cold water. Now I just have to keep it away from my toddlers, they think it tastes like kool aide.

God bless!

Your stomach is used to break down your food, your intestine's absorb the food value. We have all the parts we have had before, the sleeve just reduces the size of the stomach. Best wishes

I go to Sam's once a week and treat myself to a cola icee. No carbonation and lower calorie than a regular soda.

I'm 21 lbs. to goal, and I'm a comfortable size 4 ( a 1980's size 10 ), but I can't judge my size when I go into a store and I haven't changed my profile photo because I still think fat and I don't get photos taken. I'm hoping this fear will prevent me from stretching out my sleeve. Best wishes

I like this topic! I've been around 150- 148 for the last 3 weeks. I wasn't sure if I should go back to liquids.

I hope you fell better soon. You may want to take a Tagament before you go to bed, until the acid reduces. Best wishes

I don't eat fruit, but I have juice ( no sugar added ) to curb that sweet tooth. I don't have more than 3 0z a day.....when needed and not every day. It's hard to get away from old habits and fruit is a simple joy, it's just one I am willing to give up short term to get to my goal. I miss asian pears and I will have (part of ) one when I get to goal. I have not bit into a fruit since my pre op diet. Best wishes

I'm sorry you're going through this. It sounds like a stall. The more you lose the longer the stall and you lost 52 ( good work ). I would go to a nut. I don't think it hurts to get more than one opion. I was told to lose weight I should stay on protein, no carbs Best wishes.

Is this pre-op diet? What are you being told to eat?

That was great, I threw back my head and laughed at the 'smells'.

What a good idea! Thanks

I think alot of Dr.s want to be right or the easy answer. I went to a urgent care because my GP's office was closed. I went because I thought I had phnomia. She took a xray, saw the sleeve and said I had to go to the ER, because she didn't know what the sleeve was. I asked her if my lungs were clear and she said she doesn't know what to tell me because of the sleeve. Her focus went somewhere it didn't need to. I was so mad. I looked her in the eye and asked ,"Do I Have Phnomia?!?". " No, but you need to sign a wavier that you refuse to go to the ER."

I was trying to think how many Thin mint calories are ran off on a 8k. Good luck!

I'm where you are at time wise. I was told that there are longer stalls the closer you are to goal. I feel better when I exercise and it is good for you, but sometimes our bodies 'want' to stay at a comfort weight for awhile. I feel the stalls are a way to remind myself to keep to the basics to obtain the goal. Best wishes

I learning so much! Thanks

I agree, the only reason I don't take a hour to eat now, is I get board with the food ( or it gets too cold) and I throw it away. You're doing great!

I have 4/6 kids stll at home. My oldest here has the best amune system ( God Bless her) however, I have 3 toddlers in the same preschool class that catch EVERYTHING and share with mommy. I have a stomache flu right now. It comes with a bad headache and vice like muscle pain. If I eat I get sick. I can keep water down, but it is like when I first was sleeved. I have to sip it. My biggest problem is my medicine. I take it and it comes back up. I am already loosing hair from the everyday vsg diet. Now that I'm sick I'm afraid the shock of no food will make me bald. I would appreciate any advice on this. Thank you
