That's interesting. I wonder what the compound is. Yes I do. 99% of my fluids are flavored with crystal light

Layed up...

The super fantastic news is that i hit onederland this morning! The bad news is I am payed up with gallstones. I just got back from the ultra sound. Fingers crossed I won't need surgery. But holla!! Onederland in two months! That's 30 lbs!!!

I think I had a gallstone attack today. Painful and right spot. It lasted about an hour. I called surgeon and made an appt with my gen phys. If it is my gall bladder must it come out? Not loving the thought of another surgery so soon

My surgeon brought me a stuffed bear the second day. I call him beri the Bariatric bear. He was very helpful to press againt my stomach when I was getting into and out of bed

Wow wow wow!

Just had a minor emergency in my neighborhood. I pulled on a pair of jeans and ran out to help. It wasn't until later that I realized I was comfortably wearing jeans from my "too tight" pile. Great feeling!

I was told no caffeine and no asprine. Tylenole didn't touch it. I had some lortab left over that has pushed it away a little, but that won't help with future attacks. Mine seem linked to TOM. Thank god not every month though.

Anyone else get them? What do you take now? I am suffering and no idea what to take

It is funny how differently we measure success after the sleeve. Pre-sleeve I would be over the moon with this weight loss. Now. I feel impatient that I am not under 200 yet.

5 weeks out. Well more like 6 weeks this Thursday. 24 lbs down.

Finally feeling that extra energy everyone talks about! I went back to work today. No one really noticed the weight loss, but I feel great

206 this morning. So close to onderland I can taste it. I have my one month follow up today too so I may graduate out of soft food. I can't say how glad I am I did this operation!

I lifted more than I should. Carried groceries and a gallon of milk up my stairs. In my 3rd week post op. Don't think I popped a leak or anything, but it feels hurts when it didn't before

Any others on here doing this vegitarian? I eat some fish, but have not eaten meat since I was 15. I am 32 now. Can not see eating meat now. I am thinking this will get easier when I can eat solids. I can do veggie burgers and other alternatives.

I am in week three (and a stall) approaching my TOM and hormones are flooding my body. I got weepy at a cartoon this morning. I should avoid human contact so someone doesn't try to commit me!

Just the protein recommendations. I have the eat this not this list too, but no specific calorie recommendations. I have been averaging 600 to 900

I know I am aiming for 70-90 grams of protien per day but what should my calorie count be? I am on mushies

I was anemic too. He did the surgery. Now post op I am taking perscrption iron.

Right there with you. Lost 5-6 after surgery. Now.... aAARGH!

When should I start taking Biotin to prevent hair loss?(I have very thick hair)

Well I feel better. I wake up feeling a little crazy, but enjoy the food in the dreams. Guess it goes to show how strong food addictions are. I wonder what I will be eating tonight
