SleeveDreamer

I love it one Dr. Kracker's Pumpkin Sunflower seed crackers.

Blender Bottle. they have a website or they Have them at Target now.

Iceberg lettuce you will find is too chewy after your sleeve cuz you really chew it more than you ever did. it's hard for our sleeve to digest cuz of all the veins. I don't eat it at all anymore. If I have a salad with lettuce, I use romaine or spinach. However, I do not normally eat any kind of lettuce in a salad. if I go out, I get a cobb salad or ne with alot of protein on top and once I eat that I can't even have room for the lettuce. Don't even want it anymore at all.

My tastes changed. Do not want pasta anymore, or bread. Don't eat lettuce anymore, just protein or other veggies on top of the salad. Can't stand the taste of plain water anymore, so flavor it with Mio flavoring. Don't want garlic anymore. I am almost 9 months out and I still try different things that I find I just don't want anymore.

My doctor said if you can take an hour to eat, then do it!

That sounds good but I loathe Greek yogurt so I will try it with regular. Also I have never seen cheesecake flavored pudding. What brand is it and is it with the boxed jello puddings?

I get the tall iced skinny vanilla latte and I think it is 60 cal, the grande is 80 cal. As an alternative to Starbucks call Bariatric Advantage and order an sample bottle of their ProJoe, they have mocha, vanilla, and chai. I have oly had the mocha, but it is very good. Not on their website yet, but get the number there and call them and they should aend you a sample. It's much healthier than a Starbucks and basically comes out to the same amount of money.

Wow that's a great weight loss. Keep it up!

Did you drain the beans?

That is an awesome loss. Congrats!

I love the Oh Yeah protein drinks and they are high in protein but the last case I ordered was really thick and icky looking, and just plunked into my glass. I called and they told me to throw them out and they will send another case for free. I should get them tomorrow. Has anyone else had this prolem with the Oh Yeah drinks? This is the first case I ordered I had been buying single bottles at Vitamin Shoppe and they were fine.

I weigh every morning before any food or liquids but after a bowel movement.

Should be sugar free but it will take your staple line at least 12 weeks to heal. If you were to swallow by accident, you may cause trouble. I am almost 9 months out and have never had ny hard candy since my sleeve.

I love them and thy are definitely a slider for me too. My NUT says thy are OK.

I was always a very fast eater. Kind of gorged my food and barely chewed it. You will find now when you start eating solid food, you can't do that. Your stomach is too small and the food you are piling in if you eat too fast has nowhere to go. I did it a couple times, and you get the slimes, and have a feeling in your chest like something is stuck. Then you fo try to throw up and it pops right out with no problem. I really had to focus on slowing down.

That's awesome! It's fun huh?

These are good! http://recipes.sparkpeople.com/recipe-detail.asp?recipe=218543

Never experienced any pain whatsoever. Never took pain meds. Sorry to hear that so many experience it.

I am a ProJoe fan Bariatric Advantage too. they are so good and much healthier for you than even a Starbuck's skinny iced latte!

I never experienced any pain whatsoever.

I love the strawberry watermelon MIO. Be careful with the sparkling waters, they are full of carbonation and sleeves don't like them sometimes. Can cause a bad tummy ache.

Awesome.congrats!

I always drink water right up until about 15 minutes before a meal, then always wait for 30 minutes after.

It says 375 for 18-20 minutes. but the first time you make them, watch them. My max is 14 minutes before the wrappers start to get too brown.

Wow what an incredible loss for 4 1/2 months! Good for you!
