Yes my surgeon gave us that card but I have yet to have to show it. I believe servers are aware now days of wls and/or food restrictions so much that they are happy to help you order what you need.... But it is nice to have...

Your internal staple line is not healed at four weeks. Your stomache internally takes 6 to 8 weeks to resolve swelling and irritation. Leaks are found as far out as three months. As general guide is three months, I say general because we all heal at different rates.

It definitely needs to be looked at by your Dr. Please let us know what you find out. Best of luck to you!

*hugs* I seriously love this place as well.

it reminds me where ive been and where I don't want to return. One day far away when I have reached goal and maintained... I might say goodbye to my extra skin but if I never do.. its my success story

had a girl on my hospital floor with a leak at 11 weeks... just listen to your body and take heed not to hurt your sleeve

you've lost 20 lbs that wont be coming back. you're doing good; we all stop and start our weight losses but we do all lose.. some of us stalled a full six weeks but we didn't gain and we definitely started losing again. *hugs* ive felt this way as well but always remember the weight amount you've lost not the days/ weeks intervals u lost it. the bigger picture is the amount lost and your doing fantastic

Thanks it was actually my nutritionist who suggested it but I only see people using whey protein powders on here so it got me wondering.

And nothing again. LOL I guess I am the only person. -__-

Jenn, that's great, you are that much closer to a new life. Think positive and use this time to buy what you will need after surgery. It's so much better to have it all there when you need it. Buy some great reading material and never forget that the healing period after surgery is temporary and for that period of time devote yourself to giving yourself and your body what it needs. Best of luck to you

I've asked this before but didn't get any responses so I'm worried I'm not getting the right protein. Anyone else use egg white protein powder as their protein powder??? I've been using it all along but wonder if I should be using whey protein powder. Anyone?

Totally off topic BUT O.T.R how did you get your awesome new title? Hehe *sarcasm specialist* Do we eventually get to write in our own titles? Wow if so I have no idea what mine will be .. Anyways love it!!!

My husband is Italian and we enjoy his grandmas meals on Sundays... Well I should say my kids and him still do, I enjoy less food but still love love the family time

Thanks for the info. I'm making a trip to the stores tomorrow and I think ill pick some up and give it a try!

You're in my prayers!!! Keep us updated!

Wow to be able to do work outs like the p90x, I would be so proud of myself! As for now, its a work out just to stretch these old muscles. Aye yi yi

Definitely continue your lexapro, before and after, you do not want to stop taking it and doctors strongly recommend staying on it

Only thing that works for me, and I've tried it ALL, is milk of magnesia and lots of water after.

kristie.. what did you put in your taco wonton cupcakes? they look soooo good id love to make some!!

pistachios I like the shelled ones- it keeps me busy in between so I don't over do it I love them!

I used tagaderm band aids...u can buy them at walgreen or Cvs they are safe on surgery incisions. hope this helps.

Ok thank you!!! I hope this pill cuts lol

I have a uti and my urologist called in my medicine when I left his office. I picked it up and wow this pill is HUGE, its bactrim. I'm almost 3 months out, and I can't reach my Dr....anyone know if my sleeve can handle this pill? I don't want to delay taking it, but I don't want to hurt my stomache. Any suggestions?

They make one with no sugar added and yes as far as my doctors list it is included. I have yet to be able to finish any drink lol..but I drink what I can
