I made an awesome strawberry lemonade today. Take a scoop of strawberry protein, add it to 10oz water and 1/2 packet crystal light lemonade. (or pre make lemonade, use 10 oz and 1 scoop powder) I even put mine in the freezer, let it get ice chunkees in it... Mmmm, I want more now....

The full sign... I dread those stupid hiccups

I don't like the girls bopping around either, but you just gotta be all natural (think of this as your way of sticking it to the man) its just a short time, don't do anything that causes uncomfort or rubs the incisions

My sleeve buddy- you are describing me exactly! If I hadn't seen the baby stomach I wouldn't have known-- except when I hit my full mark I hiccup now. I have like no 'real' restriction feeling, I drink loads of water and get my protein in fine. My NUT said I'm just doing everything good. You are too! No worries

I haven't gone back yet, but I took two weeks. One would've been fine for me though

I'd say no, I do have my husband and mom but as long as you have the food u need and someone to watch the kids, you'll be fine

I guess I'm gonna need to look it up

I had the same problem. I have never had a diarrhea problem but before the surgery it was all liquid! Lasted til a couple of days after, but I saw it as a blessing; Nobody wants to strain after stomach surgery

We are all sleeve buddies... It sounds dumb but I am excited to have some people in the same boat as me.

My Greek yogurt does seem to fill me up. But I am just nervous I guess. I drink (sip) all day except for my NUT says 10 mins before and 45 after (I usually at least wait til 30 after 45 seems a bit long) and I drink and drink.

Nope no ppi.

I'm there with you. I eat or drink every hour so I just start drinking then the next hour eat (after 30 mins) then gotta wait another 30... It goes on that cycle- but I'm hungry too. Had mine 5/21.

I was sleeved 5/21 and I find myself hungry. I am on full liquids. Do you think it's just the liquids sliding through? I can drink like 1 c of. Fluids at a time and 1/2 c of soup and I do them every 1- 11-2 hours. It just seems like a lot to me...

Cream of mushroom is great with roast. Makes a gravy that's awesome. But not my thing with chicken.

Isopure that makes your alpine punch makes it in a powder so you can mix it yourself. They also make like chocolate and vanilla powders- you can mix with milk

Ur such a great mom! She's not going to get in all 80 right now. She should get some from protein drink, milk, yogurt, soup... All the stuff she's allowed to have. Count everything. Should be at least 50ish right now.

It is considered two different things. You should treat protein as kind of a meal.

I was sleeved 5/21. Start drinking ASAP, when u get up. Then alternate water and protein. It works.

I agree- post a day journal for us. All soups need to be low fat and everything else sugar free. You shouldn't be doing too much juice right now bc of sugar content. Even 100% juice is still a truckload of sugar.

Water. Especially if it TOM.

Opurity bariatric. One a day- chewable. I like them. They come in a bottle of 100; so when I'm done I'll do flu stones probably. I started them when I started my pre op diet.

Yes a crock pot is a #1 necessity. It makes meat juicier. And that's something we all definitely need to curb the want to drink with meals an just make stuff go down easier.And if you are busy like me- you just throw it in and forget it! Crock pots were designed so you don't have to lift the li and stir or anything. Actually it takes away from it if u keep taking the lid off!

Get your 3 yr old, put in a wagon/stroller/wheelbarrow, whatever and get out and do it. You have to. Simple as that. You gotta make time. Even if it's 20 mins. A day. You gotta. Best luck, love! I know you can!

You can and need to start tread milling today. Nothing fast or fancy. My gym also has a track (indoors, yay!) those can be walked too. Don't do it on drugs if your still on them. And no eliptical or weights... But go for it love, the sooner the better

Yeah 6-8 weeks, make sure to talk to your doc. Communication is the key. He will be so excited to get you finding something you love, he may put you to work out sooner. Best luck, love
