    Please Explain To Me...

    I drink regular old Water everyday, and chew my kids flintstone Vitamins all the time.
  2. Omg omg omg....i can fit a size freaking 4 pair of jeans! Unbelievable!

  3. Btw, i also was 31 BMIer.... I have problems getting protein in too, but I eat protein bars rather than the shakes. YUCK! Those shakes made me sicky too. I think it was the whey in them. Try nibbling on a bar. I don't stress myself out over the protein. I get in what i can, but i'm faithful with vitamins.
  4. Omeprazole didnt do anything for me. I currently take zantac 150's once in the morning, and one at bedtime. My dr prescribed nexium 40's, but i didn't care for them. Once my sour stomach settled down the naseau and acid really settled down. Around the 5-8 week mark i ate ALOT of cheese and crackers. Just until my tummy wasn't so sensitive..... Hopefully something like this is your issue and not something more serious.

    Padded Panties. Help!

    I had bought a body shaper at one time that was supposed to " lift" the butt. Huge waste of money, but it didn't have any padding, just extra support in the butt area.

    Constantly Having To Spit

    It sounds like what happens with the slimes..... But if its constant, i dont know. I also sat with the trash can spitting into it many times after lunch. Are u on an acid reducer? It seems like your tummy is in overdrive for some reason like when you get the slimes.

    Lasagna Cupcakes!

    Totally gonna make this. Thanks for posting!
  8. Augh, please stop the bickering Andy. What it boils down to is do your homework and research.
  9. Have you looked at alverez, pompa or aceves? They also have very good reveiws. I was sleeved by Dr Kelly, and had no major issues, however the whole coordinator bs is stupid. You really shouldn't have to be worried about their drama while you're making such a huge life changng decision.
  10. Yep head hunger. Eat sf popsicles. It will help with your fluid intake, but yet you'll feel like you're eating something. BTW, i can't believe you can even eat anything other than clears! I know all doctors have different diets, but my tummy wouldn't even allow me to hardly try jello. If i would've tried greek yogurt, i know it wouldn't have stayed down. Don't force yourself to eat if you can't. Concentrate on your fluids right now.
  11. i'm going to try running.

    Stupid Question -- Tipping

    I tipped 20 when he picked me up, and i was planning on tipping 20 back as well, but ended up having to pay cash for part of my hotel stay (long story, supposed miscommunication with dr and coordinator)... So anyways tipped 10 on the way back. The only reason i tipped so much was because the driver, ricardo, was so awesome. He's a super nice guy
  13. Hi guys. I was sleeved Nov. 3rd by dr kelly. I was at a bmi of 31, weighed 164.4. It hasn't been an easy few months, but i would totally do it again. Be prepared for a few rough weeks, but after the first month or so it's all good. I do really miss food though. But i guess i'm starting to learn to "enjoy" the food more than before. I don't think i really tasted food before, i was kind of a glutton , where as now i eat so slowly that i do really savour food! Lol. So, three months later i weigh in at 121. I don't know what my bmi is...i haven't updated my ticker. The sleeve is an awesome tool, but just be prepared that the beginning can be rough. If you have any questions, etc feel free to pm me!
  14. I'm so sick of regular protein bars. And i still can't stomach the shakes.... But i discovered luna bars and i've fallen in love with them. But it does contain some sugar (brown rice syrup). They're organic, and have around 12 grams of protein. They do make protein luna bars, but i haven't seen them up in these parts yet...

    So Very Frustrated!

    This is normal. You wont prolong or gain weight with regular foods. I found i actually had much more energy once i started regular foods, and the weight started dropping off again.

  18. Holidays in 2 days! Woohooooo!

  19. Holidays in 2 days! Woohooooo!

  20. You wont be disappointed with dr. Kelly... Congratulations!
  21. Is the florence hospital the "oasis of hope". If so, thats where i also had my surgery. It was nice enough, and the nurses were nice too. There was a cleaning person that came in a few times a day..... Rumor has it that if you're a low bmi'er you won't be having surgery there. There was myself, sirensiren and at least 2 other gals that had issues back in November at the hospital because we were low bmi'ers. Dr Kelly wasn't the one with the issue, it was other doctors there.
  22. Great job! It'a great to hear some "good news" stories!
  23. Go to settings, signature, then copy and post your url.... but make sure it is the url for message boards. There are 2 url addresses on ticker factory, I think it is the top url you will need to copy and paste..... hope this helps!
