Ask your doc when an appropriate time to start is. People LOVE zumba and get addicted to it (rhythm things are not my thing) but you'll do so great and tone up some of the necessities. Good luck!

Thanks for sharing! It's always so important to remember the benefits when we feel like skipping 'just one day' the simple act of walking is so important! And as a bonus, we can share that time with a loved one.

Heatherr- you're my hero. All that sounds so omg delicious. I never thought of buffalo shrimp.... Mmmm

Your body is more than likely rebelling. Now it's is 'starvation mode' and holding on to EVERYTHING you put in it. Just do exactly what your NUT tells you (and call her if you're worried, that's what she's there for) it'll all work out fine if you just do what your told.

Take a pack of chicken breast (like four) frozen or thawed. Put them in a crock pot. Pour a regular size bottle of Italian dressing (fat free) over it. Cook on low for 5 hours. Tada!

Mine went great. The only thing was this weird sensation when swallowing it was like it stopped in my throat, then proceeded downward. But never caused any pain

From a medical perspective: double your use of the incentive spirometer. If its really stressing ya, take liquid Tylenol. But most doctors (I don't want to say don't care... But) don't care unless it's over 101. It's common- no worries, love

It depends on the person, but I'd recommend the sleeve for those who qualify. I discourage bypass , I work at a hospital that specializes in wls. So it just depends on persons involved

Just get a good blender. Those bullets are so over rated! They don't even do as good as just a good quality blender.

I had my vsg Monday 5/21, and I am hungry feeling too and dying of thirst. I think it's just a phase. I put in a call to my NUT just to make sure

If you do need a little something- get a can of tuna in water, add just a tbsp of mayo or so- that's be fine. The thing is high protein- no carbs. Most docs do all liquid for maximum weight loss which shrinks the liver and the no carbs which shrinks the liver- so we got double shrinking power. But straight lean protein ie. tuna, chicken breast, is ok. In moderation. Nothing fried!

You are eating just right for you. If it makes you about throw up it it too much. Just make sure you get your protein in and take your vitamins

My mom just got me Truvia. I recommend it wholeheartedly. Splenda left an aftertaste and I don't care for sweet low. But this Truvia is so awesome. Just thought I share. Yes, you can have it

But my parents and my husband was ALL I told. I didn't tell work or friends or anything. I don't mind my decision, but I'm just not ready yet. The time will come though.

Both my mom and I work at a hospital that specializes in bariatric surgery, so this was a little hard cause of what we see on the other side. But I was in the car with her and told her strait foward- mom, I'm thinking of getting the sleeve. My weight is --- and I need help. She agreed and said how can I help- lets do this

Both my mom and I work at a hospital that specializes in bariatric surgery, so this was a little hard cause of what we see on the other side. But I was in the car with her and told her strait foward- mom, I'm thinking of getting the sleeve. My weight is --- and I need help. She agreed and said how can I help- lets do this

I've got the same thing. The only protein I can drink is Unjury. And the only meal replacement I can drink is Chike (it's got 23 g of protein). And for another minus- I'm allergic to soy, so I gotta be extremely careful. Sometimes yogurt will help with the allergy as well. But you can't have that pre op.

Husband calls it the gastric banana, I call it my baby tummy

Oh yes, I have wanted food... Real food. I'm just out of surgery n my husband stayed with me in the hospital and he ate biscuit n gravy and sausage right next to me. I could've shot him! But it's like I wasn't hungry but I wanted some. Then he had Arby's at supper and my strong will made it not bother me. So, it gets easier. No worries

I'm a HEAVY water drinker (my mom actually said my one gallon a day requirement would be me cutting back) I just had my surgery Monday 5/21 and I have found myself overly thirsty, but it works out ok. Just take a little at a time. I mostly ate ice chips (they lasted longer) it was great

Thanks for sharing!

I ordered Opurity from the same people who make Unjury protein. I think it tastes good (berry) and its only one a day. Kinda expensive, but worth it.

Don't worry it won't go to waste, you will still be drinking it in a few weeks when you can have PB, so just take lesson learned and wait til you can have it.

Yeah- this post was kind of all over... I'm in the same boat, I eat, then get hungry and end up having several small meals. My NUT said it was ok, and drinking more will help with not wanting food. She is in favor of 3 meals, 2 snacks, but everyone is different. You need to follow your body's cues

Seriously though, I feel great, pretty much normal.
