Liberated Sleeve

LOL - guess what!?? I do believe I am as silly as they get! Today when I was at the store picking up some stuff I noticed the Miralax on the shelf and remembered that I took some Metamucil the same day as I tried those pork rinds! (I only introduce one new food at a time so I can know if my sleeve is tolerating it or not.) So after that memory blast I am pretty sure it probably wasn't the picante pork rinds but the Metamucil that caused that bloating and those terrible gas pains. Think I will give them another try in the near future here.

Definitely proud! The other emotion really gives you nothing so go with the one that actually benefits you!! Doing a great job missy!

I use the Bariatric Fusion chewable ones and they don't make me sick.

Well, I think it may have been that they were Picante flavored. I ate them with chicken salad which I had a couple times in the days before so I know it wasn't the chicken salad.

Natural you already look great, I can't wait to see you in 1 year!

Don't be afraid of the broth or sodium in it, just drink another glass or two of water to flush it out!

How long were you on the ranch for that $$ amount?? Yes, I would definitely do it again!

Well there you go...I had diabetes, high blood pressure and sleep apnea. So makes sense.

You look fabulous Ms. Lissa!!

I think the pork rinds gave me gas. darnit they were good.

Welcome to both of you! This is definitely the place to find out all you need to know. If it is medical though I urge you to also consult with your surgeons as they know you best! Congrats on your plans to join the Sleeved family!!

I will be praying for you to become stronger physically and emotionally! I am so sorry you are having to go through all of this! Do you have family supporting you?

So burst out in tears and tell your daughter the truth! You don't know for sure why you are crying but sometimes going through surgery messes with your emotions and hormones for a while and apparently it has got mommy's tear ducts. Tell her how much you love her and that you are not truly sad, but thrilled that you had the surgery and everything is going to be okay. Talk about all the new things you will be able to do with her after you heal. (Just my opinion )

Mine was 2 Protein shakes a day and one meal with 3oz lean protein and all the vegetables I wanted prepared with no extra fats. No breads, crackers, Pasta, etc. I can make a really filling salad with lots of veggies and 3 oz lean protein!! I lost 13 lbs in 2 weeks.

I had a BMI of 43 at the time I had mine done and it was done in Hospital. Went home an hour later. Just precaution I'm sure

Good evening everyone: Has anyone tried this Protein powder and is it a good price? Still kinda new at this and looking for the best price, quality, etc. Would like unflavored that I can add to stuff and had seen someone post one that was like 5lbs for $35 but can't find the post now and obviously didn't save it when I should have. Thanks for looking and sharing http://www.vitacost.com/vitacost-whey-iso-protein-isolates

Reli-On also makes a great raspberry flavor!

Whoo hoo I just figured out how to share this recipe post and email it to myself from my IPhone - dang now that's cool! I can't wait to try this recipe! Thanks for sharing.

NE Baptist or Foundation?

I love spicy food and was s ared I wouldn't be able to tolerate them after but have had no problems so far! YES!!

Nice article! Thanks for sharing.

I assume you are back to work by now, maybe your body is just trying to catch up with all the changes? No chance of pregnancy right?? Possibly low on iron, etc. Let us know what your doctor says!! Hope you feel better soon and if you need to rest, do it.

I made meatballs (93% lean) in spaghetti sauce and ate it soaked in sauce to keep it moist. Was able to eat 1. 93% lean is on my diet list. Some can't have beef for 6 months.

Whoo hoo! Have been wondering what I was going to use instead of taco shells!! Thanks

Don't know much about it, but guessing since the stomach is so much smaller if we pack it full it has no room to do it's churning to digest it so when it starts to churn it pushes some out? LOL - I got a visual anyway after reading Rootman's comments!
