Why is it that being sleeved gives us heartburn? I never had heartburn or reflux in my life now 3wks post sleeve, I have it all the time. Why is that?

I haven't tried melon yet...no problem with blueberries, tart bl. cherries and pinapple.

I never had reflux with the band, but OMG do I have it now!

Hi Yes I am vegitarian. I was vegan before being sleeved, but am finding it hard to tollate the raw veggs and the plant Protein powders are not agreeing w/my new tummy YET> So I added organic greek yogurt, a good quilty whey protein , some fish, and lots of Beans. I feel great, considering 2 wks post op.

I so totally agree with what you've been explaining. I am a band to sleeve, post op 2weeks. I was vegan before the sleeve but had some trouble w/the raw veggies after surgery, so I've added organic greek yogurt, whey Protein...it's a good quilty..but still, not my favorite. till I can tollate raw veggies again. But I agree if you are going to work out and strenght train you're body needs the good carbs to give you energy. Low carb high protein diets are not healthy. Eat whole foods organic when you can. Have you ever the book "The China Study"? Great read.

Hi Everybody, I'm 2 wks post op and I've found my tastes have changed. I use to do a really healthy green smoothie every morning, now it makes me nasuas, I'm hoping its just the raw veg and once I'm more healed will be able to enjoy it again. Been doing a good quilty whey protein and organic greek yogurt instead. More calories, but I figured at this point I'm really not getting in many calories at all. Anyone have an opion or thoughts on this? I'm feeling much better, but still not myself,

All in! Thanks, Workout starts tomorrow.

Oh ok, I'll keep trying, will let ya know!

The link is the same as before when I get to the part for a coach it tells me it is Sheila Riley and will not let me change it, are you Sheila Riley? Still getting rejected for the Text Verification that I type in. What am I doing wrong?

I would love to have a coach! Tried joining on the web site but keeps rejecting my Text Verification...tried a dozen times. Maybe it's just the site.

Finally I feel like me again!!! It was a rough few days, but I can see the light shinning now. I actually feel good. Have lost 18lbs and returning to work on Tuesday 7/24. Starting my exercise program Monday morning. So excited!!

I LOVE CharLEAN Extream, I've been doing it for a few months now. Just had my sleeve operation 7/13/12 so took a 2 week break on exercise. I am starting the program from day 1 tomorrow 7/23. So excited. I love, love, love this workout. Very excited to have found you guys looking forward to sharing stories and support,

I'm scheduled in the morning Friday the 13th, Have to be at the hospital by 7:30am...8:30am procedure. So excited, the week of liquids flew by, I did great!! Have lost 8lbs as of this morning, will see what it is at the hospital in the am. I'll fill in as soon as I can...wish me luck!

Friday the 13th!! UGGGG. Oh well, my surgeon isn't concerned, guess I shouldn't be either....Sooooo excited.

Hi all, I am scheduled for surgery 7/13...I know...friday the 13th! sucks, but my surgeon said he's fine with it, won't be the first time. So I'm not concerned. I am starting the low fat liquids tomorrow for the week, I have a Vitamix blender and a Champion juicer, I love them. I have made home made tomato soup, oat meal smoothie, vegg smoothie, I am so excited to get started, I have the band, since 2008, but its slipped and is ready to come out. It's done it's job Ive maintained a solid 60lb weight loss for 4yrs. The band cant do anymore then it has for me. So my surgeon is confident w/the sleeve for me....I am so excited!! I am a relaxed vegan...I am adding organic greek yogurt to my diet for pre and post op...and probably for at least the first yr. Untll I feel out of the woods w/healing and all that involves...Did I mention I am sooooo excited!!!! Bring it on!! I am so glad to have stumpled across this group. Would love to share notes and thoughts
