    Hi there.

    You're doing great keep it up. I m 5 days out longer than you and just started the pureed stage anf am having a hard time figuring out what to eat. Keep up the good work!
  10. are you sure he didnt mean added fruit? I would get clarification on that.
  11. take a half cup of the yougurt, add splenda and strawberry (or any flavor) extract, mix and it tastes great!

  14. I am 11 days out from getting the sleeve done. I have lost 20 lbs. I asked my surgeon his opinon for me between the sleeve and bypass and he asked me three questions: do you have diabetis? NO. Do you have high blood pressure: NO, do you crave sweets? NO... he then said well if you had any of those three issues I would recommend that you go with the bypass, but since you don't its entirely up to you, which left me puzzled. Then I asked well give me statistics and this helped me make my descision. He said 3 in 1000 die getting the bypass vs 1 in 1000 with sleeve (Yay!). Most people only have to take the Vitamin supps for one yr on sleeve vs rest of your life with bypass (yay!) Then he said and now that I have been doing the sleeve for a yr i find that at the 6 mo and 12 month check the percent of weight loss is the same as the bypasss...so its your choice. I PICKED THE SLEEVE!!!!!!!!!!!!! My concern was that I have so much weight to lose I wanted to be sure I would get the most out of the surgery. It is really up the the individual how much you lose. My friends boyfriend lost 125 on the lapband, which is not typical. Best wishes to you! God bless you, Sabrina

    Wow Miss Diva I am so impressed with your weight loss, most of the gals on this site started in the 200's but I started at 335 lbs day of surgery and have lost 20 lbs already, you are an inspiration!

    5 days out!

    That's right. Also once your able to eat yogurt I have a tip: Get the greek non fat yogurt (nasty plain), add strawberry (extract) (or whatever flavor you prefer and splenda to taste, stir well, taste just like regular yogurt with lots of Protein.

    5 DAYS POST SLEEVE

    WOW!!!!!!!!!! Thank you so much, that makes so much sense. I am only taking the prevacid 1x a day, so I am gonna increase that and just be patient. Thank you so much for taking the time to explain all of this it totally makes sense!
  19. Hi my name is Sabrina and I am 5 days post surgery. When i went into surgery last Wednesday I was hungry of course cause I hadn't eaten the entire day previous. Well once I came out of the antestisia and was able to "feel" I had extreme pressure from what I beleived to be air, as the air decreased the pain remained and is what I now realize- Hunger pang ! It is terrible. If it wasn't for these pangs I would pretty much be great. Can anyone help me to understand what this is and/or when it will stop? Thank you!

    5 DAYS POST SLEEVE

    when Dr. Fedorka came in to discharge me he told me I could have anything that could fit through a straw, such as those things i mentioned above. You may want to ask your dr. I think it may be different for bypass.

    5 days out!

    I drink 8 oz Protein shake which contributes toward my daily consumtion. You just have to drink one or two of those a day on top of your Water, I also drink Isopure which has protein. It's hard but possible.

    5 DAYS POST SLEEVE

    You know I am drinking more Isopure and Protein shakes trying to get my protein, should I still drink lots of water in addition to this? I just don't want to feel hungry anymore! Thanks for your advise!
