  1. You can use it since it has whey protein isolate in it, just try next purchase to get whey protein isolate as it is absorbed easier after your surgery.
  2. Hopefully you can exchange it, Walmart is usually pretty good about that! Glad I could answer your question. Definitely get whey isolate Best of luck!!
  3. Hey Connie, how are you doing?
  4. Definitely warrants a Dr. call...either your surgeon or your primary. It's an indicator of potential if not current liver problems. Best to get that ruled out and some professional intervention to get you recovering. Best of luck to you, so sorry you are going through this
  5. I know you're two years post op but begin taking a ppi/ acid reducer again...take for at least 1 month. Also, increase your water intake. Drink 64oz minimum and start a daily regimen of a dose of miralax and 8oz of fluids each morning. Hopefully you can speak with your surgeon and obtain his suggestions. I hope everything resolves. Let us know how you're doing...
  6. Chad, Thank you my friend!!! You are doing awesome!
  7. Yes id love to see it but can not find the right one! Thanks!
  8. Quita!!!! You look amazing! You're doing fantastic! Keep up the good work beautiful!
  9. I made it to 140 yay!! I can see the finish line from here woohooo!!! Everyone is doing so great! It feels so good to share the success!!
  10. Kurt!! Way to go!! Excited for you
  11. Yes, you can still have a bowel movement with a partial blockage. A complete blockage would be painful and you would not pass gas or be able to have a bm... There are other causes that make you vomit bile... I believe it is a concern you should definitely consult your Dr. about or visit an urgent care clinic. If the blood just started appearing and was not always present then it could be a result of the vomiting...maybe a slight tear in your esophagus. Please let us know how your doing.
  12. There are many concerning reasons for vomiting bile. The concerning one is a small bowel obstruction which unfortunately can happen with the sleeve at any stage. Our pyloric valves naturally are open while sleeping, are you waking up needing to vomit? Straight from bed or just in the a.m.?
  13. Go to the ER ...this will only get worse if not treated...you can pay the bill later in payments...do this for your health
  14. Hey Amy, what are the natural nutrients called? I wasn't sure if its just called power plus or something else. Thanks!
  15. Wendy, its okay your body is just adjusting. I went through it! I struggled thinking why am I not losing but it came in mysterious ways! Stay positive, your doing great! you started two weeks earlier than your surgery so technically you are hitting a slow down period. These stalls happen but trust me your body is burning fat and the surgery is working. Your weight loss so far is excellent! Try not to be hard on your self or compare...its a different ride for everyone but we all lose and we all stall. Your doing great girl!!!!! Keep up what your doing, the pay off will be amazing!!! Patience
  16. I've only tried scrambled. I will need to try hard boiled without the yoke and see how I do...
  17. I'm 6 months out but I've been able to eat a 5oz container of yogurt since 4 weeks...I didn't try it sooner but I'm thinking you shouldn't worry. You will hurt if you hurt your sleeve. Congrats on getting sleeved
  18. I'm 6 months and I'm lucky if I eat the whole egg before feeling too full. Eggs definitely are a battle.
  19. I just wanted people to know about Body Fortress Whey Isolate powder vanilla creme... It's at wal mart and is very good. Taste just like a vanilla milk shake. Make sure you buy the canister that says whey isolate vanilla creme... They have whey protein that is not the kind we can absorb so look for the whey isolate on the container.
  20. Lux-stay strong and keep up with your liquids. I'm keeping you in my prayers!
  21. Zofran really helps with vomiting. Ask for it, so you can get relief! Hope you feel better very soon!
  22. Looks yummy!
  23. Here's a link with some good information http://www.livestrong.com/article/458257-difference-between-meal-replacement-protein-shake/
