60 grams over 4 sittings is 15 G a sitting. Even in 2 sittings is 30 G each. Why so people misread so much? I dont know anything about this drink, i just did the math. Smh

i am pre-sleeve and This is a question I WILL ask my nut at my next and last visit in 2 weeks: i understand Protein, protein, protein, cabs after...if they fit. What I never hear is fat intake. Being an RN and doing atkins a few times I know that fats are essential for Vitamin absorption, and in Atkins diet it actually helped with weight loss ( something about not all fats are absorbed, give you a full feeling ). What are the ideas here?

Hope all went well

There are a lot of folks who save up and have it done in Mexico.

I hate these embarrassing water park moments. I had one years ago at a disney park. i went down one of those slides that does not require a tube. I went down FAST like a luge...when I got to the bottom, the bottom of my bathing suit got sucked in to my bum crack exposing my massive mounds like a thong. The worst of it was my struggle to pull it out before i stood up, but failed because I had to exit the end before the next slider ends up running into me. Smh. It was aweful.

I showed my DH. He asked me "omg, are you sure you want to do this? I hope you know what you are doing"...my reply was, of course!

Justine, I like your new pic

God bless.

It can definitely mess with your fasting glucose level, if you are diabetic or pre-diabetic. It has been known to spike blood sugars in non diabetics. Short term use usually returns everything back to normal after stopping. Never stop prednisone suddenly, always taper down.

Sounds like a contact dermatitis. I get it when i touch raw shrimp. You may be touching something that is causing it

I had h pylori. 2 weeks of 2 different antibiotics and prevacid high dose and i am cured. Usually, thats all it takes.

Single incidion with the Davinci Robot?

5 optifast shakes a day for 12 days and clear liquids the 2 days immediately prior to surgery.

Wow! Many healing thoughts and prayers. You'll do great. Waiting for my turn!

Stuck, meaning difficult to digest, not stuck in your staples.

My nut told me a trick when you eat something that is "stuck" or causes overfill or discomfort... Papaya enzymes, 2 tabs, and it chews up the food like a pacman and helps it through.

Just on a perspective of the cold bothering you: cold causes vasoconstriction ( blood vessels contracting) and muscles to contract. It may just be that that is causing the pain. Stick to warm or room temp liquids and little sips should help a lot. (not sleeved, just an RN perspective)

I have been eating stuff I have not had in a while and know I wont eat after I am sleeved.most of the time I feel like "eh, I won't miss it"

When I was on a protein diet in the past (not sleeved yet), i would mix metamucil in my protein dring and blenderize with ice to make a thick milk shake. Kept me regular.
