Thank you everyone!

My program fee was $200.

I would have a big bacon classic from Wendy's with a larg fry and a large diet coke!

Just stick to what your doctor tells you to no matter what. Everyone has a different path to follow just make sure you stick the the path that you told to be on! LOL

Im still having a time eating alot of foods. My stomach spiraled during surgery so I have to eat slowly and very little food but several times a day. I drink tons of water throughout the day and I have yet to feel hungry. Good luck to all!

This is the best thing that I have ever done for myself! 4/4/12 [ATTACH]3078[/ATTACH] 5/4/12 [ATTACH]3079[/ATTACH]

Alot of it depends on your insurance requirements.

Stay on track with what your doctor says! It's the safest way to go!

I was sleeved on 4/4 and I'm down 44lbs. Keep up the good work everyone!

How's everyone's weight loss coming along?

NSAIDS = non steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs Blind NG tube = gastric intubation vis the nasal passage without visualization

I think im going to go ahead and get one. I would just feel better if they knew I had surgery just in case im unable to tell them. Its worth it to me just not to worry about the what ifs!

You should look at all of the protein ice cream recipes on the worl according to Eggface website.

Did anyone purchase a medical alert bracelet after surgery to inform medical personel that you have had a vertical sleeve gastrectomy? If so what did you have put on it?

Don't worry ladies the weight will come off with time!

They say that you shouldn't drink caffeinated beverages because caffeine is a natural diuretic and we are trying to get in enough water not get rid of it.

Look on the world according to Eggface. She has a ton of recipes.

Pro Joe has a Chai Tea protein drink. Mabey you could try that for a little spice.

My doctor did another endoscopy to see .

I really like Pro Joe by Bariatric Advantage. They taste like coffee.

I really like the Pro Joe protein coffee drinks!

The protein is such a struggle for me. I will be glad when I can get it all in. Your doing great at the protein intake!

I'm 3 weeks out and there is no way I can eat that much. I'm only on the purred stage and that doesn't seem to settle well. I will be glad when I can eat more variety.

Pain meds can make you constipated so you might want to see about taking a stool softener. My first time going after surgery was awful!

I'm so sorry! My stomach spiraled so I have to eat slow and fill up fast but other than that I'm good. Keep us posted!
