I make buffalo chicken ones. Use chicken, hot sauce and Laughing Cow light blue cheese. Every one in my house LOVES them.

You look GREAT!!! Also look 20 years younger =)

I had crab today also!! I was able to eat 2 legs. 1 pound was plenty for my husband and I. Yummmmmm!

My daughter just checked on the price and until September, it is $4500.00. That includes the 3 nites at the Marriott.

I was very happy with him also. I was sleeved May 11. I recommend him to everyone.

In the begining my energy level was VERY low. I needed a nap every day. Once you start mushies your energy will increase. Just nap when needed (if possible). I am 2 months post op and my energy is great. Although I do notice if I eat poorly my energy is very low. I also went back to work at 1 week post op. I am a deputy and on the go the entire 12 hours of my shift. Just give it time and keep up the good work!!

I think everyone is different. For me I must eat slow, and that has been hard for me to learn. I am also a NON-PUKER, But I have puked about 5 times, mostly within a 1 week period, and not until at lease 5-6 weeks out. For me its like I fill up a pitcher to full and it just overflows. The first time it came on so quickly I had time to yell to my husband to grab me something and I was unable to move. I don't heave its just like getting rid of the overflow. My advice is eat slow, listen to your tummy. The full feeling is just like before so when it starts feeling full STOP! Because 1 extra bite is all it takes. Good Luck & Don't be afraid of the puke, its going to happen

Use LOTS of ice. It really helped me.

CONGRATULATIONS!!! Good for you, be proud of yourself =)

WALK, WALK, WALK...... This was the easiest surgery I have ever had, I know it's because 45 min,after waking in recovery my Husband had me up and walking down the hallway in the hospital

Congrats to you!!! As of today I have also lost 41lbs and I feel amazing. I just can't wait to get to ONEDERLAND =) Hopefully by July 4. But the clothes are falling off!! I am a deputy and I have had to order new uniforms 2 times already KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!!!!!!!!!!!!

Also how are your clothes fitting?? You can lose inches and that darn scale won't move. You are doing great. I had surgery May 11, and I have moved into all my "little" clothes. I can't wait til I have nothing to wear =)

Are you losing inches though?? Go back to basics, shakes and mushies. Make sure you are adding Fiber to your drinks. I use unflavored Metamucil, actually Publix generic. It seems to help me alot. Best of luck =)

Walk, walk, walk.......At least every 2 hours

Maybe try a different acid reducer to see if there is any difference.

I had that feeling early on also. I found an acid reducer helped alot. Some of what I was feeling was acid. I currently take Zantac 150, 2 times a day and I think it helps alot. Best of luck =)

Yesterday I was 5 weeks sleeved and I have lost 34 lbs, and have felt great. About 3 days ago my abdomen/stomach began hurting and when I eat I get nauseas . I feel somewhat nauseas constantly and am constipated. When I do go its very little and usually diarahea. My urine is very little and very concentrated also. I try to drink enough, my concern is could it be a leak??? I also take Zantac 150 2 times a day. My stomach is so upset and has been for days. I had surgery in Mexico so I'm not sure how much info my primary doctor will be able to give me..........

I am 4 weeks out and have lost 32lbs. 9 lbs pre-op.

My Dr. ordered me to take Flintstone chewables or gummies for the first 2 months.

I am 7 days post op, surgery with Dr. Garcia. I stopped taking the pain meds the day I flew home. I took one that morning and have had none ever since I didn't need them. So I took pain meds for 4 days. I feel GREAT=)

Walk, walk, walk..... I am 6 days post op and I only felt crappy the first 18 hours or so. But I was up walking immediately and walked every hour or so. I never realized when I saw people recommending walking how much it helped. I have had 4 abdomen surgeries and never walked and felt groggy with severe shoulder pain. Not once have I felt shoulder pain or that groggy feeling. Just keep walking =)

LOL, I feel much better since I had some protien shake and I also had a small taste of unsweetened applesauce. It was sooooo good, and did not bother my new tummy at all=) I am just so worried that I will do something wrong and ruin the whole thing.... I LOVE food, I love to cook, I am a southern girl and cook that way. This is going to be more difficult than I imagined. Keep in touch and up to date on your progress!!

Mela, What are you eating at this stage? I thought we were not suppose to feel hungry? I'm worried.....

I know the feeling, I'm 5 days post op and today I feel as though I'm starving. I can't stomach broth. I had about of an ounce of protein shake today, I don't think I was suppose to but I had to do something. I also have "head hunger", food just smells so good. I wonder if I am going to be able to do this. I was thinking about trying some mushies to see if that helps.

I had surgery on Friday, so 5 days post op. Today I feel as though I'm starving. Very confused, I haven't felt hungry once. And today I need some food..... What to do???
