Congratulations! you've done great! 77 pounds is a lot of weight.

Well, I just got sleeved 10/11 and it's been great so far, no regrets!!

Syntrax Nectar are more like a flavored beverage, not thick or chalky!

Good for you! hooray!!!

There is a Wal-Mart brand Lemon Ice Tea that is sugar-free and it comes in those single packets that you put in water bottles. It's not half bad!

Very well said, sleeve sister!We are similar starting weight and goal weight, I'd be thrilled to be at your current. I know I'll get there.

Hello Everyone! I've been a member for quite a while but this is my 1st post. Today is makes 1 week post-op for me hooray!!! I look forward to getting to know you through these chats. I am 1 week post-op and have lost 8 pounds but I lost this within he first 4 days and have not lost since? Is that normal? I am still on full liquids and can only walk a little bit as I am still recovering. I've read some of your stories and successes and I am so looking forward to being another success. Thank you all for sharing your experiences. Cristela

I sure hope so, otherwise I'm sending them your way! lol

Oh gosh! I am scared too! I jst bought 3 containers of Isopure and if I hate them it will suck!!

Wow!! you just made pureed food sound so yummy!!! Thanks a lot! I can't wait till next week. Is Hummus allowed too??

Thanks! sound like great ideas

Gosh! CAN'T wait for the boobs to be bigger than the belly! lol

Ok, so seriously.... I am 1 week post-op and my belly is looking like I am 7 months pregnant. It looks bigger than before my surgery and I understand that swelling is normal but how long till I lose this "baby" bump thing? Anyone else have/had this issue?

That's awesome, can't wait.

I have EAS ready to drink shakes in Vanilla and I also have Syntrax Nectar. I am waiting on a mail order to come in so I can have a little more variety. Only 2 boring flavors for now! lol I tried the EAS strawberry also and they taste like strawberry quick to me. pretty good!

So far, I've had only shakes and just yesterday I tried yogurt. Nothing else. I need to live a little! lol

They really do, not to mention I started my monthly 4 days after surgery. Hating this belly bloat!

Yes! 2 weeks of full liquids is what the Dr told me and then will go on mushy/soft foods. I can't say I am looking forward to that. Something about pureed foods just is not appetizing to me. What about you?

I wish I had that same mentality.

I know!! it does but when it does not budge, panic sets in.

I had a hernia but it was a hiatal hernia and Dr repaired it when he sleeved me. I am a week out and doing pretty well.

Wow! you are so beautiful

Once a month would be torture! lol maybe I can pull a bi-weekly weigh in off. lol
