Ok great, thank you. I will take it one day this week when i dont have to go anywhere!!

Sleeved 10/25 DOS 300 Today 269 Down 31 lbs 50/F...5'10" Now on soft foods stage for 3 wks. Stressful!!! Honestly was so much easier just doing shakes and liquids. Now, making decisions, trying to get prot and fluids is so difficult. Back trouble so walking a bit but no real exercises. I hoped i'd lost more by now, too.

My surg was an hour. I woke up in my regular room 3 1/2 hrs later.

Omg cant believe all these posts. My right hip started killing me week 3...i am now 5wks post op. It was better once i got moving in the morning, but awful at night. Couldnt lay on it, or hardly move. It hurt from front of pelvis all the way around to my back. Went to chiro the other day, about two days later it eased up. Also started soaking in hot bath at night helped. This is bizarre!!

Oh i know..such a waste to buy this stuff then not use it!

Hello, i have a can of Unjury CHICKEN flavor. There are two scoops of prot powder missing from it. I'd like to even swap for UNFLAVORED Unjury powder, with the same or less amt missing from it. I stated Eastern USA because i thought it would arrive quicker that way. Send me a private message!! Thanks.

Sleeved 10/25...wt 300. Today wt 271 (-29). I was stuck at 277 for over a week. Wasn't getting enough fluids, then discovered Crystal Lite decaf ice tea w lemon! So good mixed 1/4 tea and the rest water. Re bathroom issues!!!.... I am now lactose intolerant and drink Lactaid. About every three days i have a little regular milk and voila! No more trouble. LOL

Me either! I will be three wks post op tomorrow. Lost 23 lbs right away, now GAIN of 3!!!! WT..??? sooo frustrating. No way its real weight...but it needs to go away soon!!!

Surg wt 300...wt last week 277. Then no loss. Today, i am up to 281!!!! Help!! I'm on purees but only eating 1/4c or less, and it's very basic stuff. My plan doesn't allow tomatoes, cheese or "anything" you can puree. I dont eat canned soups. Normally i take a fluid pill for BP but have not since sleeved. Surgeon says not to. I wonder if this is just water wt?? Can't see how it could be real weight gain!! What should i do? Thank you.

Desertmom are u allowed to take fluid pill? The one i am not allowed to tk is dyazide. Lisinopril ok.

Just made lemon ricotta that UTGal posted. It's fabulous!!

Sleeved 10/25. On purees now but my program is very restricted. The only items added are puree tuna, chicken, turkey... Cottage cheese, applesauce, canned green beans, mashed potatoes, refried beans. I live on 1/4 c refried beans or tuna or chicken...three meals per day, plus two prot drinks per day. Dairy is not working for me now, so switched to Lactaid milk, and cannot eat yogurt. Having trouble getting in water, usually 10 oz short per day, because i just feel so full all day then run out of time. I am 50F/5'10/ SW. 300/week 1 287/week 2: 277= total loss since surg 23 lbs.

I am two wks post op. According to my scale i am down 20 lbs. Surg day 300/1wk check up 287/ today 280

I have bcbs excellus...called them and hey sent me a WLS rider that outlined what was covered and not. If u get this, take it to dr office with you!!! I had to pull it out many times to prove they covered VSG as stand alone procedure (i met the criteria). BTW once approved they sent me a letter stating i was appv for Gastric Bypass (they sent this twice )! I panicked!! Again called them and was assured yes i was ok for vsg that was just a form letter.

Tomorrow i will be two weeks post op. On puree for a MONTH! Very restrctive too...no beef, tomato, cheese, etc. Living on refried beans, pureed chicken and tuna. Eggs just aren't working which i think is weird. Scrambled are like swallowing gravel and hurts all the way down. I tried fried today and it burned for 30 mins plus pain in stomach. Scared to try any form of eggs again...for a LONG time!

I bought Unjury at the hospital pharmacy where i had surgery, but you can get it online!

I'm almost two weeks post op. I did well with cold bottled water, unjury chicken in water, instant breakfast with half scoop unflavored unjury mixed with Lactaid milk. The big cans prot powder from the store made me ill...too sweet. Isopure clear...i got down half a bottle punch flavor with crystal lite mixed in. They were nasty.

I am 10 dys post op. On purees. 1/4c at each meal...like refried beans, pureed chicken. Three prot shakes per day. Never hungry, can barely get the 1/4 c eaten.

Me too. I thought this surg threw me into meno!!

I had to do clear liquids day before...thats it!

I'm 6 dys post op. Slept on side from first night. I do tuck a soft foam pillow under my tummy though, to lean on!
