I like this analogy!

Sleeved 4/27/12
Starting weight 280
Preop weight 264
4 weeks/ current 243

I really liked puréed refried Beans and cottage cheese.< /p>

I used them preop. Dollar Tree sells Crystal Light hard candies and they are yummy!

I never felt more crampy and bloated than when I was first pregnant when using Clomid. Fingers crossed for you!

Do you need them? If so, I would check with your pharmacist, but will probably be able to open them in apple sauce to take them.

Take a pack of chicken breast (like four) frozen or thawed. Put them in a crock pot. Pour a regular size bottle of Italian dressing (fat free) over it. Cook on low for 5 hours. Tada!

I was sitting at my parents house tonight with my 3 year old and realized I was crossing my legs! I haven't (comfortably) been able to cross my legs for a while. Made me happy.

If the pain is bad, I'd get it checked. Better safe than sorry. Hope you feel better soon.

You look awesome!! Congrats!

You look fantastic! Congratulations!

You look awesome! Great job.

I'm also LDS and came across this situation regarding sacrament this past Sunday. I just took a small piece of the bread and nibbled a tiny bit and let it dissolve in my mouth. The Lord knows our situations.

You sound just like me! I'm 10 days post op today and feeling good but it seems nearly impossible to get my 80 grams of Protein in on full liquids! Yesterday was the first day I succeeded because I went and bought a bottle of Cytomax. It's like a clear Gatorade but has 40 grams of protein. I couldn't drink it all at once because it's super sweet, but I sipped on it throughout the day. I've also tried the clear Isopure but I couldn't stand the taste.

I could have written this post myself. I'm 9 days out and I miss food too. Afterall, food has been my lifelong friend. I want a big salad with a Diet Coke. But like Joni reminded us, we will someday have those foods again. I'm okay only eating 1/4 of my food...more leftovers! Hang in there, we're in this together.

I'm one week out and feeling lots better everyday. Congrats!

I like the Chike too. Where can you buy the Cytomax clear drinks? I bought the Isopure clear and couldn't stand it!

I had a sugar free shaved ice today and it was yummy!

Congratulations! I live in the valley too and was sleeved at Banner Gateway April 27. I'm glad you found this site...everybody here is awesome!

Oh I love it! My husband always spanks me too, so he'll get a kick out of this.

I was sleeved April 27 (5 days ago) and I'm doing good! Thing is, I'm already so tired of the same things. The full liquids stage leaves me fast and leaves me feeling hungry. I've been eating yogurt, Cream of Wheat, Soup, broth, sf Jello, Protein shakes...I need some varieties! Any new ideas?

That's interesting because the Celebrate were the only ones I did like! We really all must taste things differently. I spit out the Bariatric Advantage ones...couldn't stand them.

I found a basic guide if anyone is interested...
