Thanks everyone! This helps

Does anyone know why we are not suppose to drink 30 minutes before, 30 minutes after and during meals? I have no problem not drinking during meals but I struggle thu the 30 minutes before and after. What is the benefit of doing this? WIll it hurt me if I don't wait 30 minutes to drink after eating?

I took my granddaughter to ihop today and i could fitin a booth!!!!!!!!! Check one off my bucket list! Many more to come...........It's only the beginning.

I ordered a new one ProForm 590T today from Walmart for $599. It got real good reviews. I cant wait to get it and try it out.

Thanks everyone. I had the roast beef and of course I couldnt eat much of it and it was fatty. :-( But I had a great time with my kids! And yes I was sleeved on 3/6 and have lost 59 lbs! But I still have a lot to go!

When can you start eating beef? My doc says 6 months after surgery. But I'm goingout to dinner with the family today to cracker barrel and I really love their roast beef dinner. I know I won't be able to eat it all but it's so tender I thought maybe it wouldn't be a problem. Or should I just stick witht he drilled chicken tenders? BTW -- I'm a little over 2 months out from surgery and down 59 lbs!!

I agree with topgun! I have 5 jars of Syntrax mix in my cupboard that I drank before my operation but CANNOT stand now. I feel like I've thrown over a $100 down the drain. Don't buy anything until after surgery....your tastebuds will change.

Ow many carbs a day is considered low carbs? I'm afraid I may be eating too many.

Have you tried the Premier Protein drinks? They are the ONLY ones I can tolerate since surgery. They are sold at Sam's. Also, the other way to get protein in is to drink milk. I drink at least 2 glasses of 1% milk per day -- that's 200 calories and 16 grams of protein.

WOW you look amazing!! good job

I personally love milk.i am 5 weeks post op and drink 2 glasses of 1% milk a day for 16 grams of Protein

I was on a 2 week preop diet and I lost 22 lbs. I am 5 weeks postop and have lost another 21. It's coming off slower now which is kind of disappointing but at least its coming off! Yeah sleeve!

My doctor prescribed pantoprazole and it works miracles! I haven't had any heartburn since the first time I took it and mine was getting real bad before that

Thanks everyone. These are all the Vitamins my doctor recommends and as I said, I just don't like taking all of these. I was hoping that since I didn't have e bypass and there is not the issue of malabsorption, I wouldn't have to take this many. But he recommends the same set of vitamins for sleeve and bypass patients.

I always wondered why they didnt just take some of the fat out with the stomach

I took 3 weeks off after surgery but could have gone back after 2.

I love the premeir Protein shakes. As a matter of a fact, they are the ONLY Protein Shakes I can drink since surgery. All of the others upset my stomach. The problem is that I remember my nut telling me that for a protein to count, the first ingredient has to be whey isolate. Of course it's not even listed in these shakes. Does anyone know what's so important about the whey isolate? Shouldn't any protein be good??

The only thinkg I regret about this surgery is the amont of pills/vitamins I now have to take. I hate taking pills. I currently take ---- 1 Multivitamin 2 Calcium 1 Iron 1 Biotin 1 b-12 1 b-50 What Vitamins do you take? And how long must we take them, forever? Anyone out there who has been able to stop taking them?

I can't drink plain Water since surgery either and I used to love it. Now I get nauseated when I drink it. Like everyone else says add something to the water like crystal lite and you should be fine.

How many calories a day do you eat? I will be 4 weeks out on Tuesday and have only lost 18 lbs(i also lost 22 lbs preop). But I have been at a stall for about 1 1/2 weeks and am starting to get very depressed/upset. I've been tracking what I eat and I started really looking at it this week. I have been eating between 700 and 900 calories a day. During my preop diet I ate between 900 and 1000 calories a day. How do I stop this stall? Eat less calories? Thats what I did yesterday -- only have 520. Or do I eat more. Since surgery, I have a hard time getting any Protein shake down so I've been drinking 4 glasses of 1% milk throughout the day. It's 32 G of protein but 400 calories. Yesterday I forced a nectar Protein Drink down and reduced my milk to reduce the calories. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. BTW....I walk every evening for 15 - 20 minutes for my exercise.

I am very jealous. I had surgery 3/6 and have only lost 18 lbs. i lost 22 on the prep diet but have been at a stall for about 10 days. What are you eating? I'm afraid I'm eating too many calories.

Hi. The only time I had heartburn before surgery was when I was pregnant. It started about 1 1/2 weeks after surgery and is relentless. I hate it. I finally called the doc yesterday and they called me in a perscripton that seems to be helping so far. From what I understand, it's common with the surgery.

How long before you were able to sleep on your stomach? I'm a stomach sleeper and have been struggling to keep myself from rolling onto it at night. I'm 10 days post op.

It was 5 days after surgery for me and I didn't take anything.

I'm 3 days post op too. My stomach is making loads of little gurgling noises but I figure it's just the liquids trying to get down. I get the sharp pains too. I think they are either gas or cramping. My doc gave me an anti cramping medicine which by the way is the only med I've taken since I've been home.
