Happy Mothers Day joyann45 hope you have an awesome day

nice going...

I've heard Boston Market is good. Never been there. There's one about 3 miles from home. maybe I'll try it soon. Getting tired of the same ole same ole...

mayonnaise, mustard, a little salsa and or relish. Add your choice of seasoning. I put chipotle seasoning on chicken salad and seafood seasoning on tuna. I also do the egg salad.

I've added water chestnuts to the chicken adn tuna salads. It gives a little crunch.

I know...Need something to spice it up a bit, but salsa doesn't work with my sleeve and eating too many carbs is not good also. I stopped eating tuna for a bit because I got bored and chicken can be too dry for me. Good Luck!

Should be fine if it is liquid.

it works better in pudding and yogurt! i also mixed it in gravy or soups

Thanks again. Will try in soup for luch.

I barely ever drink protein stuff. Only if I have had a poor protein day then I drink a shake.

As long as the fish is flaky you don't have to puree it. The Talapia is very flaky and was a life saver for me. sometimes I put a little honey and brown sugar on it. (don't tell) to give it a change of pace but I usually just have it plain with lemon juice.

Thanks for all the advice. I usually use a salt , pepper, garlis, oregano, lemon and a little olive oil to keep it moist.

I was reading a foreign gastric sleeve eating recommendation and they said they recommend to their patients to take a sip of carbonated soda to loosen up the clog. Our parents used to have us drink ginger ale or 7up to do the trick too.

nothing is stuck, but i had that feeling a couple of times - don't worry kathy

Thanks, I have gotten some relief. Terrible feeling...

But I am good now. Thanks for all the well wishes.

hope you are doing better. what a scary thing to happen.

glad to hear your doing better!

Good luck tomorrow! I'm sure things will go great for you. My date is next Monday.

Thanks guys, keep me in your prayers...

In prayers . And rodeomom969 GL to You. Get my staples out tomorrow yay!!

Good luck to us both for tomorrow, I'm at the airport waiting but quite happy reading the threads.

Yes, thanks! Im spinding the day packing and surfing the web for post op recipes and shakes. My sons 15th birthday is today. Pizza, cake n icecream. And I cant have any!!!! Lol

but what do they do about that during surgery do they let you wear anything or put a pad under you???

yep i pretty much stuff it there...the surgery it only about a hour long and as soon as i was up they gave me undies and pads to wear just tell them when you are changing so when u get in bed its all taken care off

Thanks...

-just something about that strong brewed taste

Another idea as well.... Cause me & my coffee was best friends lol. But I have found after drinking that yucky caffeine free coffee in morning I found a decaf peach tea great value brand which is walmart u add to water and it's awesome. Seems to help as well, maybe a mind game not sure lol. Good Luck

There's a french vanilla decaf that isn't too bad if you have a keurig machine...that one works for me. Even though it's decaf, I can't live without coffee of some sort!!!

Has anyone tried the UNJURY? Im thinking about trying a few packets of the of the chicken broth. I did pick up a few bottles od the whey liquid protein shots

I'm 16 months out and still use the Unjury!!

Hey there! My surgery is the 8th of April too. Am on my 6th day of preop diet which consists of protein meal replacements and jello. I have to say I am a little scared but excited at the same time. I am using the Bariatric Advantage (chocolate and vanilla) and really like it made with almond milk. Anyone able to make a good comparison between that and Unjury?

Best wishes joyann45 will be waiting to see more posts from you.

Yes, I had mine repaired during sleeve surgery. If the surgeon hadn't told me he did it I would not have known - absolutely no problems.

Thanks for the responses. My Doctor says I will probably be out of work 6 weeks because of the hernia.

I had mine repaired during surgery as well three weeks ago. I went back to work after 2 weeks and really should have given myself more time. I am and esthetician and doing facials and body treatments and bending over and lifting limbs pulls. Had to reschedule a few body treatment last week and I went ahead and moved them this week as well. I didn't think it was going to be that long of a recovery time but it is in fact important NOT to lift and twist and turn.

Honestly I asked myself what the hell was I thinking. The gas pain was bad. As soon as that was gone, the pain was a memory.

Drugged so not concerned with pain. I was around a 1-4 maybe. The worst part of it was the burps.

Probably around a 1. Those pain and nausea meds they gave me were wonderful!

I had a few twinges when I got up to walk, but that is about it. I was never over a 3 the entire hospital stay.
