Yea I hear that most ppl do..but I'm the opposite

I ONLY LOSE WEIGHT AROUND MY MENSTRUAL...WHY??? AM I TH ONLY ONE GOING THROUGH THIS??? AND FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO GO THROUGH THE SAME THING, HAVE YOU FOUND OUT WHY IT HAPPENS, AND WHAT WE CAN DO TO LOSE DIFFERENTLY....HELP!!!

Keeping it real Lulu! Thanks for that--will start 'training' to eat w/o liquids!

GREAT IDEA...IT'LL DEFINITELY HELP

Loved your video! Your husband is cool and you are great. You have an awesome personality. As far as the drinking when eating--i know it's weird--but you will get used to it. I am almost six months post op and it is a habit I've formed without even thinking about it now! I don't even worry about it. The only time I've been tempted to drink when i eat is when I have been out in the 100 degree Texas heat all afternoon and try to eat. I will be all thirsty and hungry at the same time. I still wait to drink after I eat but it's a little harder because i'm literally parched. Most of the time though--I don't even think about drinking and eating at the same time. It is a part of my life now :-)

Thanks...I'm really trying...someone told me it could stretch my sleeve out, so I definitely don't want to do that...but I'm getting better overall...I'll keep you updated

Lulu you crack me up. Your honesty is definitely refreshing. Keep up the great work.

Thanks!!! And glad to know you appreciate it

yea that was a pretty cool video...and thanks for all the responses...just wanted to see where other people were at with this situation...i don't USUALLY drink with my meals, because i'm usually too full, but i do drink earlier sometimes when i'm not supposed to, and all it does is make me feel extremely full...but its a habit i'm trying to learn to break...was sleeved on june 7th...still getting used to a few things...

AND HOW DOES IT WORK OUT FOR YOU???

THAT STUFF IS SO NASTY...AND I HAD THE NERVE TO BUY LIKE FOUR OF THE LITTLE CASES...THAT ISH IS STILL SITTING THERE....I DO HOWEVER ENJOY THE SPECIAL K Protein Water drinks AS WELL...

thanks everyone...imma call my doc tomorrow and see what he says...all of my scabs and everything is gone...actually just looks like really small old cuts..like i've had them a really long time...

How soon can I go swimming??? Or do Water aerobics???

My Doc had me on full liquids 3 days after surgery, which included strained cream of mushroom and chicken Soups, and he said any normal cream of "blank" soups that are strained would be acceptable once I got home. So You should be OK, but I would call your Doc's office and ask them just to be safe. .

A LOTTA PPL SAY THEY CAN HAVE FULL LIQ A FEW DAYS OUT...DATS WHY I WUD THINK IT WUD BE OK...BUT THEN I DONT WANNA REGRET IT YA KNO...

OK...THANKS!!! JUST WONDERING...CLEARS ARE ABSOLUTELY DRIVING ME CRAZY..AND A LOTTA PPL SAY THEY HAVE FULL LIQUIDS A FEW DAYS OUT...

STAY AS BUSY AS YOU POSSIBLE CAN...I DID EVERYTHING I COULD THINK OF DURING THE DAY TO KEEP MY MIND AWAY FROM EATING...

ANY KIND OF Soup PRETTY MUCH...HOW FAR POST OP ARE YOU??? MY DOC SD HAD TO DO ANOTHER WEEK OF CLEARS, THEN 2 WKS OF FULL liquids, THEN 2 WKS OF MUSHIES...

THANKS...FEELING PRETTY GOOD TOO!!! CAN'T WAIT TO BE FULLY HEALED...

DO YOU THINK IT'S REALLY BAD TO TRY Soups 10 DAYS OUT POST OP???
