I'm sorry, I didn't like the crab.. But I'm going to try it with tuna.But I loved the sauce! Super super good!

Keep us updated. I went from soft to reg but it's still hard to eat some foods. The dr said the more I eat the more I will lose. I m catching myself lookin for foods high in Protein.. I'm soooo proud of myself, now if I could just get myself motivated to get on the elliptical,,ahhhhaa

Hi Alex, I'm having trouble trying to edit my profile and adding my weight ticker. Plz help!

Did u cut ur hair? It looks cute! How s ur weight loss? U can tell u ve lost weight

I tried tuna fish n it's hard to get down. But the dr told me it would take 4-6weeks for the swelling to go down.. Did I tell u they found a hernia?

Hi Pvette, Mooney and I were hoping to meet u at the first first class..Oscar Meyer also makes chicken hot dogs...I luv them grilled on the pit..yummy soon I hope

Fallen angel, I tried the curry chicken with cauliflower n it was delicious! I made this for me and my kids devoured it..Plz send me more recipes! Thank u, thank u, thank u, it is so easy n delicious!

Thank u Wheetsin and Heatherr for the wonderful recipes! I have 2 crockpots n have used them twice. Once for dips and the other...for beans.. The beans dried up and almost burned the pot.. Don't know how to use it... But thank u so much... Have to try out the recipes this weekend...yummmm.

Can u give me some recipes? ESP the ck adobo, pulled pork, n the as ado?

R u kidding? Did u have the Lapband or sleeve? I'm 14 days postoperative and have lost 22pounds. U need to allow time for the swelling to go down and allow ur body to heal...follow the diet they gave u.... I was told ..full liq from day 3-14..gatorade2, SF popsicles, SF jello, SF puddings, etc....then puréed diet from day 15-30 days.. Keep us updated n good luck! !

Just a lil FYI, I've been a nurse 33yr and we as nurses see a lot! We see the bad stuff n watch the healing process in action but we don't get to see the success out there. The gastric sleeve has not been out there 10yrs I don't believe. This is not my expertise...like with every surgery there are risks... If u don't feel comfortable then I would wait if I were u.. I was scared all the way till the put me to sleep. But after a couple of days n my progress I know I made the right decision... My health is important to me n I want to be around for my kids n grand kids.

While working in the heat I suggest G2 better know as gatorade2... SF popsicles, plus I got a canteloupe n blended up with ice n Water.. I made Popsicles of the canteloupe and flavored water...yummy.... Wait I also did this with pineapples tooo..

Bever nuggets are like cracker jacks but no prize, ahhhhaa. For a road trip I would load up on SF Popsicles, SF puddings, SF jello, G2, too early for anything else

Hi all! Well today is day10.. I'm doing great! The Lord was good to me, I never got gas pains or anything else. I took pain meds the day of surg(Wed) thurs or pain med Fri and sat. Am and that was it...I did my walking n drank very lil... I was stubborn.. It is so hard to make ur self drink when u don't want to...I got tired of the canned broths, Gatorade2, but my fiancé took me to a lil ole in the wall on the south side of town n got some mex soup,,caldo de res but drank the broth...ohhhhhh it was so goooddddd....yummmmmm.we also got some fruit flavored water, like cantaloupe water, watermelon water, pineapple water. No sugar. I make sure my water n drinks r nice and cold...I also made some Popsicle out of them as we'll... My tummy is so happy....I'm 10 days postoperative. The dr said I can try some yogurt, sugar free puddings.mushy mash potatoes, .I'm soooo happy.". But I eat very slowly n 1/2 tsp at a time..I know how to appreciate these lil baby steps...my tummy lets me know when enough is enough..the dr has me on nectar whey protein isolate to help me get my protein in...it's tasteless n I mix it with whatever I eat or drink..I'm down 22lbs.my clothes r loose n some old. Smaller sizes r fitting me.. Finally .....I do go through some emotional times but after a good cry I'm fine...if my urine gets dark I try n drink more...I'm a happy girl for now, whew!

I forgot to mention, I guess I was one of the lucky ones bcs, I did not exp. any gas pains...or bloating..I had incisional pain for about 2-3days. On the 4th day took pain med once and now completely off.im walkin around real well. But I do get tired...exhausted..

Good morning! Well, I'm having a hard time getting fluids down. I'm tired of the G2, Water, muscle milk.. I can only take small drinks.. I was so used to gulping my fluids but now, OMG. I have to drink like a lady! Ahhhhaa, I'm down 20 #. Today is day 6... I can see the weight loss in my face, hands and neck...and ESP in the scale.. I can't believe I'm actually cooking a lot of good meals for my family n I'm not even tasting it ...miss eating with them.. Yesterday, the only thing I had was a 32oz of G2.. I need to think of a way to get my Protein and fluids in...any ideas.. I love the sugar free Jello, hate Popsicles. Tired of broth...

Hi everyone, I'm doing quite well. Everything is fine. Dr Yu found a hernia around the esophagus and some scar tissue withe the Lapband. I got down 3ozs in an hour. It hurt at first but the lortab elixir helped vs the morphine. I walked around on the unit 4times today { 5times each round} . They stopped the morphine it caused me to itch all over which is one of the side effects n knocked me out. 2 of my IVs came out yesterday n the staff waited 1 1/2 hrs before the restarted the IV that the only time I was in pain..I was cruing my head off. I told the dr what happened n got very upset with the staff.. N lastly, the AC went out at MN till 0210 the morning, it was soooo hot. Thank u all for ur prayers...all in all I'm doing great S

I everyone! I go in tomorrow at 530am. I'm scared and worried. Dieting was hard. I lost 10 #. I got a lil dry cause my lips were starting to crack n my urine got concentrated...I am so sick of the protein drinks and the gatorade2...I'm worried about getting dehydrated after surgery when I go home. I hope I ll be able to go to work after 2 weeks. Please say a prayer for a speedy recovery and peace of mind.. Thank you all
