I agree! Thanks Ralph Cramden..er CT Fats for posting that recipe! I'm going to share it with my Bariatric Group friends! Another good idea when you want a nice frozen treat is to take a tub of low fat (FF) Cool Whip and freeze it. It tastes almost as good as ice-cream. You could also blend in FF pudding (choc or van) before freezing to give it more flavor. Another one of my friends also suggested taking your fav. zero calorie flavored water and freezing it until it turns into a slushly... This is really refreshing.. I use the Sobe Vitamin (0-cal) water and its good! Yvette

TexasT, You're story sounds *Exactly* like mines! When I had my revision, I also had a subcutaneous Hematoma at the port site that my doc had to fix. He also said it looked as though I had a hiatal hernia (sliding hernia) but he could'nt get to it because I still had too much fat in that area..So now I have to wait to get it fix until I lose more belly fat *smirk*. Those ports are a bear to deal with!

Hi Jenni, I was Sleeved 3-711 and I still get that same sharp pain .. Like a spasm when food or Water passes through. I get the trapped air .. It gets better when I belch the air out. I'm trying to eat slower which seems to be helping and more softer foods also helps with the pain. Yvette

Have you tried the low carb Muscle Milk? It's pretty good.

I tend to get a hippup-wheeze about 20min to a half hour after eating. Its usually because I ate a little too much. I'm still lapband but will be sleeved in jan.

Hey Vicki, I strongly believe that I will take the plunge into the sleeve life. We'll see though... Have to talk to Dr. H. first to see what he says.

Hi Vicki, How are you enjoying the Sleeved life :-)
