Same here 23lbs

Congrats!!!

sugar free? Of course

They're sugarfree snowballs?!

Anyone know if we can have snow balls?? Im 3 weeks out.

What kind of liquids are you drinking. Im tired of Water and crystal lights. What are you drinking?

Black Girls Workout too? Anyone??

2 weeks post op- how much has everyone lost?

23 lbs down..

I found a new love for split pea Soup at that stage! I really needed to thin down refried Beans if I ate them. Out of the can they were way too thick. Greek yogurt is good just watch for sugar. Stick to sugar free plain if you can.

Where do you get the soup..lol

Do you have a diet guide from your doc? If so follow what it says.

Is it hunger? Or is it acid/reflux? Maybe head hunger.

It says mushy foods like a fruit smoothie, yogurt and banana...im sick of sweet stuff...lol

I can't eggs till week 4 #jealous!

I'm so hungry...i want a meal.

Any ideas on what to eat?

Whats everyone eat...im hungry!..lol

I eat Fred' date=' Barney, Wilma, Betty or Bam Bam 2x day.[/quote']

Lol..i tasted my kids flintstone Vitamins and they taste better than my chewable Centrum..

Thanks everyone!

Hopefully there is soup!!..lol

I'm going to a wedding 3 weeks post op...any ideas on what I can eat??

How many times a day do you take them? If only once' date=' try taking them at night before you go to sleep.[/quote']

Once a day..i can't get past the taste

Can I crush my chewable vitamins and eat in yogurt?..they make me nauseous plus they're gross..

Hey fellow sleevers! Anyone else having trouble sleeping? I know insomnia is a side effect' date=' but this sucks [/quote']

Not at all, but i never nap in the middle of the day and by bedtime I'm exhausted...

Had my surgery yesterday! First night at home tonight. Pain is manageable with the meds they gave me. The only problem im having is with the gas pains....its awful!!

Glad you are doing ok. I used Lavin and was sleeved on the 11th. I used gas x and walked to aleviate the pain.

So I just woke up an hour ago. My family is still helping so I can sleep as late as I want' date=' and with four kids that is like a vacation all by itself lol. As suspected, I feel even better today than I did yesterday. My biggest problem is number two. I haven't pooped since before surgery! But I'm working on it :-)

The pain is bearable. I'm really just using the pain killers for my butt hole :-s

The cravings suck. But I'm making it work. Last night I grilled imitation crab meat and bacon and put a little cream cheese and peach preserves on it and ate it deservingly like a fat woman pregnant with twins.

How far out on you..i can't have seafood for a month

I was able to eat about three oz. joy.

You guys will make it. So will I. We are gonna be some skinny sexy healthy b*****s.[/quote']

Has anyone used the Black Girls Workout too DVD???

Went to my surgeon today for my 2 week follow up . He said it was fine to get back to the gym. No restrictions. I can use weights' date=' do crunches, swim, etc. he told me to be careful and make sure I listen to my body. If I get too tired to stop.[/quote']

I had my follow up yesterday and they told me no abdominal exercises for a month....

I have had it with these freaking strips. I am 5 weeks post op and they still havent fallen off! Were they super glued on to me? When did they fall off for you guys?

Lol...i took mine off 6 days post op. The doctor said that was fine.

How are you losing so much so quickly? I must be a slow loser. I had surgery on 3/6 and down 11 pounds from that day. Including preop diet I am down 25. Can you tell us your routine? I'm just curious what we are doing different. My routine is this...

Every 2 hours I take 3oz of a Protein drink getting a total of 60 grams of protein everyday.

I sip Water all day long getting about 60 ounces a day.

I started pureed food to try out... Yesterday I had ...

2oz of oatmeal ( breakfast)

1oz potato/tomato Soup (lunch)

1oz pot roast/sweet potato/stock (dinner)

I also take supplements...

3 BariWise multivitamins

4 bariatric Calcium tabs

12 drops of b-12

2 fiber chews

I'd love to hear what others are doing.. This is all the food I can get down right now. That's why the amounts are so little. I don't think I'm getting any kind of nutrients out if it as of now

I was told not to try roast until week 8 because its hard to digest.
