SleeveDreamer

I know. they are so tasty and moist. Even my husband lved them!

Yesterday i bought a package of Amylu Chicken Burgers with carmelized onions and gouda from Costco. There are 10 in the pack, and they are wrapped in packs of 2 each. I left out two for our lunch today and froze the rest. They are sooo good and moist and very tasty I just put them on the grill for a few minutes. I have been having trouble with chicken not being moist enough for me after my sleeve, but these definitely are. Give them a try!

Luckily i can say never experienced any pain after my surgery. However, I was not allowed protein drinks that soon. You should stick to clear liquids, and wait til you get realeased to full liquids before you try any shakes or anything you can't see through. You can have sf jello, broth, sf popsicles, room temp drinks are better. Try not to rush it and you will feel more comfortable. Your sleeve needs a week or two for the healing to start.

That's where I bought mine, but i didn't season it. i just washed in hot soapy water first like it said.

Lissa, I know what you mean. I stopped drinking diet pepsi a couple months before my surgery before I even knew of this surgery just because I thought it would be healthier for me, but I must admit I miss it! Does the carbonation bother you? Also I don't know if you know or not, but WalMart has their own version of Mio, their Great Value brand, and it tastes exactly the same and is $2.00 less per bottle.

I live in San Clemente, and had my surgery at Scripps in La Jolla.

Every morning with breakfast I have about 1/4 cup of the jarred ruby red grapefruit sections with its juice. It tastes really refreshing since I can't drink anything for 1/2 hour after that.Strawberries are in seaon here now and I am eating one with lunch every day. I have not had any issues with any fruit I have tried. Sometimes your doctor makes you wait several weeks before you can eat solid wholes fruits, but he will probably want you to take the skin off apples first.

These are good, however I prefer the Lundberg Rice Chips. before I tried them I ate Beanitos, but love the texture and crunchiness of these others.

I eat eggs prepared any way with no problem. Why can't you have deviled eggs?

Just give them a call and ask what applies to your charges. They are really nice to talk to.

Diva, Love this bootcamp diet! What is the pic of you posted for your breakfast? Looks like turkey, asparagus, and either an egg or cheese.

I am Italian, so I have to watch the carbs. I might as well just glue the bread onto my mid-section! LOL!

I have several pair of Not Your Daughter's Jeans from Nordstrom in 14P and 16P that are like new that i will be listing on ebay that retailed for 75-108.00 each. I will sell for a good price. They are too nice not to try to sell. Send me a private message if you are interested in the details.

Remember babigrl111 who started our December Sleevers? haven's heard or seen anything from her, and even sent her a couple messages, and no response. Has anyone heard from her? I hope she is OK.

I just had a brown rice cake with 1 tbsp. peanut butter. What a tasty snack! Also I have discovered Lundberg Rice Chips. the Santa fe BBQ is great and the regular Sea Salt ones tastes just like tortilla chips and tastes great with salsa. Check them out. These are the only chips we keep in the house now. They are really crunchy and taste great. Got mine at Whole Foods. They have about 5 different flavors. I liked the beaitos until I tried these, now no more Beanitos! (Before my surgery i probably would have never eaten anything like this.) I would get a bag of Fritos or a can of Lays chips and eat the entire thing as soon as I got home from the store. I don't have a sweet tooth, I am a salt and crunch nut! My how we change our habits, WHILE WE ARE WATCHING OUR JEANS FALL OFF! Love my sleeve!

Love them but haven't eaten them for a long time. Either one is loaded with preservatives, and lots of sodium. Although it probably wouldn't hurt to keep one or two in the freezer for and emergency quick meal if necessary!

Diva, congratulations to eberything you have accomplished. You are truly an inspriation to all of us. BTW I am LOSING on your bootcamp diet. 2 more days. (Yes I am one of those who weighs everyday and always will!)

I tried the Chocolate Light and it had great flavor and very smooth, but tasted too sweet for me. I would like to try the Cafe latte though, but have never seen it.

I can eat bread with no problem, but I don't even want it anymore!

I started this a few days ago and was doing really good, and then got trapped in a meeting where all they had to eat was pizza. I had the smallest piece and didn't eat the outer crust, and still lost 2 lbs.! I will continue the next three days!

Cottage cheese, scrambled eggs, light cheese sticks, deli turkey slices with slice of cheese on WASA crackers (low carb). StarKist sandwich Ready albacore tuna in the pouch. 3 1/2 oz. and very tasty. Put on a WASA cracker and half a slice of cheese on top and put in toaster oven for a minute or so, and have a tuna melt! Also turkey chili and rotisserie chicken (darker meat is better than white.) 3 turkey meatballs with some marinara sauce. Laughing cow cheese wedges. Lots of beans!

I heard people put dry Hidden valley Ranch dressing mix into Greek yougurt. Although I cannot stomach Greek yogurt, but alot of people use it for different dips.

These sound great. I would like the carb count also though. I am not a fan of any store bought proten bar I have tried yet. They are either too sweet or too dense for me. I really don't have a sweet tooth, so I would love to make some of these tomorrow. Thanks for sharing.

Don't worry and don't try to rush. Just get in what you can. You can sip the water all day. Don't gulp or try to drink alot at once. I am 11 weeks out and I can have anything to eat and 8 oz. at a time, and I cannot get 8 oz. in. It will get easier after the first week. Just take in slow and you will be OK. Good luck!

I think you need to call CareCredit and find out. That doesn't seem right to me. I was told no matter how long it was for, you can pay it off early with no penalty.
