Wowza! Congratulations!

I started about a month 1/2 out. I find the Perky Jerky brand was moist, so my sleeve tolerated it the first go round. I have had other jerky brands since and have not had any issue. Jerky is great in that it is high protein, low carb and low fat. Only downfall is high sodium, but compare brands and choose the one that is lower in sodium.

The Flintstone Complete chewable has iron--my NUT said to use the chewable & not the gummy since the chewable has a higher level of iron. I take my chewables at lunch, at least 2 hours after my a.m. calcium and at least 2 hours before my evening calcium as per my NUT's instructions.

Jerky--the "Perky Jerky" brand to be exact. I buy it by the case in 1 oz bags. It's moist and so yummy.

My NUT told me that lactose intolerance following the sleeve was extremely common. I had some issues preop, but now if I have a shake with milk in it, I better be very close to a bathroom. Funny, though, cheese isn't a problem.

I like the ones in the spray bottles--I have the Ranch, Caesar's, and Raspberry vinaigrette. The ranch are also great with grilled chicken wings, "buffalo style" and are a great way to avoid unnecessary fat & calories in your condiments.

I'm just over 3 months out and the few times it has happened to me was when I take that "one more bite" or if I eat too quickly or with peanut butter. It is very uncomfortable and painful, You will eventually figure out your full signals or the foods that just don't agree with your sleeve.

Same here-- I take 2 Flintstone complete chewables a day & 4 Calcium Citrate chews a day (2 in the morning and 2 in the evening).

I had the Italian food craving. In order to curb the angry beast, I had some pizza sauce with shredded mozzarella in a ramekin nuked in the microwave once I got to my soft foods. I put all of it in a ramekin, then ate it with a spoon. It did the trick...

Congrats & good luck! And welcome to the "Losers Bench"!!!

No, I didn't have one, either.

I laughed when I read this..today at work I kept having to duck into the restroom or in alcoves and pull my panties up, they keep falling down. I'll be purchasing some new panties this evening.
