Damn girl. Seafood is the only thing I got on my mind. I got all kinds of seafood in my freezer from gulf seafood like shrimp, crabs, asst fish, octopus, eels, and some others to imported stuff like seaweed salad, conch, vietnamese clams and so on. My wife has her steaks and pork chops and other meats but I dont like to eat them. I would be screwed if I had a copper? or mercury problem.

Yeah I am 32 and shes 28 but its all in fun. We constantly pick at each other. Its been like that since 2003. Circa i didnt see those at sams. Imma look around. My stomach is still pretty swollen I would say. Each day gets easier to drink. I dont rush things at all. I just try a little at a time just to see how it goes. The sleeve is an experience for sure. I love that I am never hungry. I also noticed my taste buds changed. Grape juice taste like muscadine wine lol gross. But time is what it takes to heal so imma give it just that.

My old lady said the slimfast ones were gross. I have EAS advantcarb protein drinks with 17grams. They are 11ozs with only 110 calories. They are great in Vanilla. Now I also have the Atkins protein drinks in milk chocolate and those are great also. Trust me I would never steer anyone in the wrong direction

Yes maam. Isopure made me sick preop. Before I just cut it 1:1 with a powerade of the same flavor. But now I would rather not even try. I just know I would be sick lol. But I do have alot extra but I am saving it for my wifes preop and post op in Nov

Dont feel like the lone ranger. Today I am 18 days out. I still cant eat anything. I can get in 1 Protein shake, 30oz of water and 11ozs of apple juice per day. Thats pretty much it. I am gonna die from low protein intake. I am more scared of not being able to eat right than complications from being overweight.

Just remind me 4 years later when your right back where u started. I personally dont give a flying &&@@ what u do. I just stated The path your choosing isnt the Best. And yes I did eat the red pill. And the rabbit hole is deep

Did I drink much today? I barely get in 40oz of fliud a day much less 4oz of food. Hey and no cheeseburger. Many on here just cannot see why one would even consider putting one of the things that got you fat in the first place back in your mouth. The thing with me is I am never hungry so what I choose to feed myself is up to me and not my mind. Sit back relax and pounder on that for awhile.

My bp was averaging 140-150/80-90. I take Lisinopril. Today I went have my stitches removed and my bp was 137/79 without my bp medicine. My weight dropped 15 lbs in 2 weeks. They were excited for me. I had to sit there and tell them my whole tijuana journey. They scheduled me to go back in a month for bloodwork in order to get me off my meds.

I cheated with peanut butter the first week but dont tell nobody. I was literally shaking at times because of starvation. Good luck to both of yall but trust me you will get to a point where food doesnt matter.

LoL i never liked sweets myself just rice, Pasta, breads, oatmeal, orange juice and a few others. You would be surprised as to what you actually put in your mouth. I swear to god I never ate alot at all. I just ate the wrong things even though they were considered healthy by the famed nutritional pyramid. Sit down and calculate for awhile and you will see where I am coming from. Just dont hate me cause I said you were a carb addict. I just assumed so cause everyone next to me is.

I swear to u after you come off your carb addiction it gets so easy. I promise. The last 3 days of mine was gracefull

I am a guy but I do take HRT myself. I felt the exact same way before surgery. I know for a fact HRT accelerates the ghrelin production glands on your stomach. Now I am 10 days post op, on HRT and still not hungry. I just thought since I was on HRT I would be hungry after but that just isnt the case. I went from 326 to 289 as of today lol. Good luck

Ok these are the things I tried. Egg drop Soup, pudding, yogurt shake all on different days of course. How did it go down? Not to great. It made me nauseated all day long. I guess its viscosity was just a tad to much. But as of right now I am drinking the atkins low carb shakes from walmart/sams. Thicker than broth but not near a yogurt shake. I can only handle 1 a day as of right now. The rest of the day is either apple juice , Water, or crystal lite. Thats just what I can handle but everyones different. Goodluck on ur choices

Good luck getting that sticky stuff out your hair. I think its a money making ordeal myself. I have a Resmed autopap 25. I been having my machine for awhile. I have used it less than 35 times lol. Its a complete aggrevation for me as it wakes me up more than I sleep. Plenty of times I have ripped it off my face. Like I said good luck on BOTH your studies cause more than likely you have severe sleep apnea just like me.

My post op says that I CAN have skim milk. I just choose not to cause I think its gross. But however I did try it day 6 and didnt have any problems. Hot/warm liquids go down easy but I am hardheaded. I have to have ice in my drinks. A little discomfort is a small price for a nice cold glass of apple juice. Water and flavored waters go down the worst in my case. Keep sipping. I can get down 3 big sips fine but ends in aquarium bubbles coming up also. New sleeves do funny things to people.

Never said that you had to stay on the low carb atkins type diet. Please read the op first comment. They already have the sleeve and wants to go down more but they have plateued. Maintaining and shocking the system by the low carb diet is a majorly different ordeal. Ask me if I am going to stay low carb for the rest of my life and I would tell you you lost your mind. But I know this, it will never be high like it was before. Read it ,somethings got to give. A resleeve isnt going to fix her problem. Its a nutritional change that has to happen to accomplish what she wants. Lmfao how people jump when no one said to jump. You have to take in the full data before u just make an assumption thank you very much.

U wont be disappointed

Oh i agree. You do learn alot from tv. But get yourself some high protein low carb cookbooks to fall back on. Best investment

^ agreed.

Lmao. I could see how it could be the devil to alot of people. Food just doesnt bother me unless my wife or kids sit there in front of me eating carb loaded foods. Which as of yesterday they stopped because its either support me on my journey or just get out and I will do it by myself.

I had mine done on the 17th. I am still not hungry. I been sitting here watching travelhd all day watching food shows lol. Its head hunger. Drink some lemonade or some skim milk it will subside. The more often you drink the better off you will be

Did you ever think that our obesity gene was superior to the skinny gene? As of right now in our time where we live we dont need it thus we strive to get rid of it. But if you lived in mongolia or tibet our storys would be different. LoL I am glad your skins shrinking back up to normal. Elastic skin. You gotta love it

Ok I am going to agree with you on some points. Healthy carbs are good for you but still has to be in tight control. But to get your body to Burn the fat is by going into a ketosis state. Theoretically your right. But in the real world therorys are theorys. I can just attest to what I noticed on my diet pre op. once I started controlling the carbs the weight started dropping even eating up to 2000cal/day. Everyones different but as fat people we have a genetic advantage of our abilities to convert carbs over to stored energy. I dont have any background in nutrician but I know I used to eat the same thing as my father everyday. He stays at 150lbs and I stayed at 325lbs. We worked together, ate together, lived together. We both did house framing which burned tons of calories daily. Theres no explaination other than carb conversion. For the Majority of people here. The High protein/low carb is the bible. In Professional Bodybuilding carbs are only used for insulin spiking pre/post workouts because insulin has one of the greatest growth factors. Nutrient timing is key. On another note. What if someone ate 1000 calories a day of straight carbs. Would they lose weight? Sure would. And they would also be causing skeletal muscle damage, eventually death from cardiac arrest. On the flipside if you eat no carbs you will never die. It will however have an effect on the brain. Thats why you need a small amount of healthy carbs. The healthy carbs feed the brain promoting memory, sleep, and so on but in excess goes straight back to storage. You have to find a happy median. My name should be Capt realworld logic. Its just since I was 14 I have been trying to find away to lose weight. I have had so many people try and tell me how, even doctors. They even gave me meal plans. The problem was it was 45%protein/45% carbs/10% fats and the caloric range was 1600-2200 per day. You know what happened? I still gained slowly. But keep in mind slowly. As soon as I got carbs under 60grams per day i started melting. The only reason why I did my surgery is to prevent bounce back. Now once you get to where u WANT to be thats when u find your happy median to keep your body stabilized. I know that I speak in circles but I have a form of autism. I just hope you understand where I am coming from and have an understanding that textbook entries can be wrong and rewritten.

I am 7 days post op and colds still feel like a brick going down. Now warm clears go down great. i am still on clears about to switch over to full liquids when I feel like it. Theres no point in stressing your new stomachs. Just take it easy. As of right now I can take in 3 big sips of fluid before I feel the brick. Then I feel air bubbles escaping then its fine

Lmao. Thats awesome. Not yet on my part but I will remember you when I finally notice when I start doing it. My question is how does that taste?
