work as an ER nurse. took 4 weeks off due to the fact we lift over 50 lbs and I wasnt taking any chances

tried popcorn aprox 3 months post op.

Finally after being in a stall for almost 3 weeks I am out of the slump. Let the losing begin again !!!

Hmm i wonder if popcorn expands and will stretch my sleeve but yes, im so close to my soft diet phase that im taking pictures of good, healthy foods I may be able to eat. Im still waiting for my appointment with the kaiser nutritionist.

it is not a soft food at all. but it is a slider food for me personally.

chantix.... chantix... chantix !!!! One of the major side effects is the vivid dream that you cann have (nightmares) I found out if I took my first pill in the morning and the other at lunchtime I was able to sleep much better.

I drink Decaf iced coffee almost every day. I love the flavor. no issues at all !!!

I eat Tomato & cucumbers almost every day. low cal, low fat.... I either add chicken to it or tuna with some flavored balsamic vinegar

100 calories and onlly 2G of fat is good. if you can afford all those carbs and very little Protein content then go for it.

magic bullet will be fine. I would grill up a portabelle mushroom and blend it in FF cream of mushroom Soup. adds lots of flavor.

Silly girl did y have the sleeve? I just got approval to have sleeve. I can have on 8/20. My question to u is if u were going on an 2 wk cruise 8 wks post opt would u hold off and have surgery after cruise? I thought I would ask u since know what it feels like around this timeframe. Thanks for your input.

husband has been approved also for the sleeve and we are going on a 3 week cruise in October. He has decided to have it done after he comes back. going on a cruise even 3 months post-op trying to find options to eat might be difficult. I plan on taking my blender and Protein powder.

I have been buying the rotisirre chicken from sams club. 6.00 moist & juice and it lasts me ALL week. also if is on the dry side. add some salsa or low carb BBQ Sauce to it.

Just wondering what was wrong that you didn't enjoy the crablegs?? Was it the taste? That is my favorite and I am really looking forward to them. I am only 15 days out.

had crab in the mushyfood stage and they tasted great to me.

took me 3 weeks to get out of that stall. so frustrating. you body is adjusting to all your things. keep calm. stay on plan and it will pass.

been afraid to try them. in new england we have quahogs (yes from the family guy) and you eat the raw with no chewing. I am sure that they are high in Protein. but to have to chew them kind of turns me off

lobster, crabs, scallops, chopped clams no issues with any of them. the great thing is I bought a 1 1/2lb lobster a few weeks ago and could only eat the tail and I was full. pre-sleeve. i would of had a 3lb lobster, corn on the cob, potato, chowder and maybe some clam cakes to go with it.

I am down to one a day for Breakfast. cant eat that much to equal what I need for my Protein intake

when I was on weight watchers. I plugged the numbers into their app and even if I used 1000 sprays it would still be a 0 point food. so I would say go for it. as long as it is not an everyday thing

I tried pepcid and prevocid and prilosec my acid laughs at them like I toom nothing they gave me nexium rx today at er I hope it works better I'm just scared it wont because I have 3 failed attemps already even the doc said my acid kicked in early and is more severe than he normally sees. God will help me pull along though, thank you all for your concern and advice and yes im estatic its not a leak im just to nauseous and weak to show it

never had acid reflux untill I had surgery. I was so bad that I had to sleep sitting up at night. dr put me on dexilant once a day. (program right now that it will only cost 20/month) and it is GONE. I have tried to go without it and if I dont take it for even a day I can fell it. They say you can have it up to the first year. good luck

fantastic video. what an awsome husband to do that for ya

dont worry... start working on chewing your food and nothing to drink before & after. after your surgery you wont be able to eat fast and will have to take smaller bites

How do you make the homemade Protein ice cream?

go to eggfaces website and she has it all there. I bought a cuisanart ice cream maker (no salt/no hand cranking) and I have ice cream in under 30 minutes.

http://www.cuisinart.com/products/ice_cream/ice-30bc.html

they have a cheaper one for 59.00 but I can make a double batch in this one. biggest hint is you have to whip the Protein mixture to the point that it looks like marshmallow fluff before you add it into the ice cream maker

I have a Protein shake for breakfast 45g

3oz chicken 17g

tuna pouch 18g

homemade Protein ice cream 10g

That is a total of 90g of protein per day. I add other stuff to it also like veggies. but I always have my shake in the morning, chicken for either lunch or dinner and another type of protein for the other meal (meatballs, lasagna cupcake, taco salad)

I always end my day with homemade protein ice cream. I try to get a minimum of 80g per day in. adding pamesean cheese increases your protein with just a small amount.

Yes .... we all have slider foods and try to avoid the LIKE THE PLAGUE !!! . for me it is popcorn and cheesepuffs.

I use cucumber also. sometimes I have tollhouse flatbread thin crackers. just enought to take away that carb craving

does a happy dance for ya !!!
