  1. Hehehe a bonus skittle!!! Best thread ever
  2. Definitely continue your lexapro, before and after, you do not want to stop taking it and doctors strongly recommend staying on it
  3. Only thing that works for me, and I've tried it ALL, is milk of magnesia and lots of water after.
  4. I'm 5'2 maybe even 5'1 ... Both my daughters tower over me I was sleeved May 15th in Dallas Tx. I started this journey at 220 and I'm at 162 so far.. I think my goal will be 120 but hey 140 would be just fine with me Best wishes to everyone, we are all on this journey to healthier happier longer lives yay!!!
  5. Avoid advancing too quickly so you do not stretch your healing stomache and also when you do advance your diet, avoid foods that are stringy or fibrous like celery.
  6. It is both actually, you definitely want to let your staple line heal up and also avoid getting foods caught in your staple line.
  7. You're still swollen in your stomache so feeling fine would be temporary til your swelling goes down and you find out you gave yourself a leak Very scary stuff, my best advice is follow your drs orders, this is temporary and this is your life. Good luck, you can do it!
  8. Down 3 more pounds... Yay
  9. kristie.. what did you put in your taco wonton cupcakes? they look soooo good id love to make some!!
  10. pistachios I like the shelled ones- it keeps me busy in between so I don't over do it I love them!
  11. I used tagaderm band aids...u can buy them at walgreen or Cvs they are safe on surgery incisions. hope this helps.
  12. its a tablet but thank you I cut it into four parts... doing okay so far .. thanks for ya'lls help
  13. Ok thank you!!! I hope this pill cuts lol
  14. 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?
  15. 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
  16. Yessssssssss Thanks Ken!, This site is an every day part of my life didn't realize how much I need it until it was gone! Thank you!!
  17. I love carnation instant breakfast and the good vitamins are a bonus!! ))
  18. Im sprint and I cant connect to the mobil app at all since yesterday as well.
  19. I have commented before on this thread and subscribed so yea like I said it didn't subscribe me, like I said I was not getting notifications hence when I commented again to verify the problems we are having I subscribed again. As OTR said it is frustrating and I nor him are not alone in these trials with the app, as you can see by our comments, we were automatically subscribed before or we would have never noticed that it was no longer working.
  20. While in the hospital and during the liquid phase I was constantly going to the bathroom. The diarrhea was bad and even passing gas was a danger better not chances. I found myself in the bathroom a lot. Once I started soft foods I have the opposite which is constipation, then I have to take milk of magnesium and that causes diarrhea. It is a vicious cycle. Good luck on your journey
  21. My subscriptions say I have 103 new but its been that way since two weeks ago and those threads are old and not active but 103 of the old / read threads show up. Also since this happened two weeks ago, any new threads I have joined do not get subscribed to, even if I go back and click subscribe. It is impossible to follow new threads since this gliche accord. Aaahhh
  22. Tension headache? Perhaps its all your nerves/stress leading up to the big day and following surgery. Place a cool rag on the back of your neck and on your forehead, relax and drift to sleep. I hope you feel better soon
  23. I would call my insurance and ask Everyone's policies are different.
