Oh I have the same problem, I eat too fast and it doesn't register that I've had enough until its too late

Thanks ladies, I am gonna try these suggestions ...the colace just isn't working for me , coffee usually does it but not lately

I haven't found a protein shake I can tolerate either. Indidntry the choco rite peanut butter and the chocolate supreme , and the taste was good but I just can't keep it down. I was sleeved on June 21st

I was wondering if anyone other sleevers had issues with constipation, I was sleeved on June 21st and have been barely having bowel movements, I'm not uncomfortable yet, I tried colace without much success, I am still on mostly soft foods and liquids . The solid food and sometimes even my meds make me vomit .

That's great news, especially for me because I've been feeling a little down about the slow weight loss in the three weeks since my surgery, guess I expected it to just melt off

Nothing stupid at all..... Congrats and I can't wait until my weight starts coming off tooo

You look awesome

Oh I felt the same way, I was sleeved on June 21 and have been seeing slow weight loss too, I though I was th wonky one , thanks for sharing

I have noticed too that only 11 days post op and I miss " real food" sometimes or I see the family eating a nice juicy burger and I am a little bummed that I'm still eating jello ...but I went and bought a really cute small dress and jewelry to match and when I get that bummed feeling I walk in their touch it and think soon you will wear this !!!!! Sometimes it helps

Thanks for all the encouragement , I do fell so much better, I can't believe how much better I feel after only a week , i used all of your suggestions and they helped ..still having a hard time getting in the protein but I'm working on it..and it feels as if my weight loss has slowed down but I'm trying to stay positive

Yes they are awesome and so helpful in any way they can

They do have a bar called the full bar......I tried it and it didn't work for me, I did manage to lose weight on the opti fast shakes during the liquid pre-op diet I lost 15 pounds in two weeks, however I did cheat twice and I know that if I had decided to do the shakes instead of surgery I would've cheated and not stuck to that plann

Good luck in Mexico ,what insurance do you have? I have Cigna and they sent me my approval letter within a week ...maybe you could appeal the decision

It was called another name, something like duodenal switch ---- but it has been around for several years

Nam home from the hospital and boy am I sore ... How long does the soreness generally last ? I was told to walk a lot and it would help but I am so comfortable lying in one position that I don't wanna move..I just want to take th Percocet and sleep ? I had no issues with the liquid diet pre-op and did well, but now I'm struggling with getting enough water and the protein down, is this something that improves with time ??

Thanks guys , I hope she can figure something out, because I really want this for her so she will feel better

My cousin has Medicare and was told they don't pay for the nutritionist appointments ? Do you know if they do or is it a case by case thing

That sounds yummy

We talked about those at my last support group meeting ..I never knew they were edible

Are you drinking lots of fluids ??? Cucumbers are a good choice for crunchiness I hear but I guess you can't eat that yet can ya

Thank you
