it gets better. I use 3 equals in my coffee. took me a good 6 months to get used to it. now sugar tastes horrible

OK so tomorrow is my normal weigh-in and from what I can tell I have actually gained weight. (praying it is because its my time of the month within the next few days) I am obsessed with the scale and weigh myself every day ( i know ...; no good ) been eating all the right food... I am just not sure if I am eating too much of the right food. How many calories per day and I am suppsed to have? Please I didnt go thru all of this to not be successful.

Sams club had it....

ok so I went to PF changs this afternoon. Had some chicken broth and about 1/3 portion of shrimp with lobster sauce. it was really high in protein and low in fat and sugar. I also ordered spinach with garlic. but of course my eyes are bigger than my stomach

So I am on a busniess trip right now and stilll in the mushy stage. I am having a real hard time finding stuff to eat. Yesterday and had cheesecake factory skinny turney burger (no bread or veggies) and a side of steamed carrots (no butter). I ate half for lunch and the other half for dinner. Please I need an idea for today. any suggestions would be great. A chain restaurant would probally be better.

congrats !!!!

probally not. I was thinking- no blind ng/og

my MD said I have to use chewable the est of my life. I questioned him several times about this since I hate the taste so much. Is there anyone else out there that doesnt have to take chewable vitamins

I still use a pill crusher. I can not STAND the taste of chewable Vitamins. I crush it shwallow quickly with a swig of Water. nasty !!!

if for some reason you are in a car accident or in a trauma. you will be intubated (put on a breathing machine) and when they do that they will also put a tube to your stomach to keep it empty (so you dont vomit and it gets into your lungs and get a pnemonia. if they placed an NG/OG tube blind (the normal way) they could cause trauma to the sleeve.

time of the month soon? do you weigh yourself everyday or once a week?

do you wear one now that you have been sleeved ?

welcome !!!

congrats !!!

good luck !!!

Congrats !!!

so 3 weeks have finally passed and I have been advanced to the mushy stage. that 2oz of turkey chili I ate tonight for dinner was the best thing I have had in ages.

right before my surgery I donated 2 boxes of frosted flakes the food pantry.... and a whole bunch of other food. 13 boxes of cake mix ws a little too much. Clean out all your cubbards, there wil be no temptation.

before VSG I never had a day in my life that I had heartburn. Since surgery I have it daily. I take pepcid complete twice a day and it helps some but not completly. The worst part is waking up in the morning and you can feel the acid coming up your throat. Does anyone else have this issue and if they did what did they do to make it GO AWAY !!

forney.... I'm in heath

it all matters on your insurance company. I had all of that but I didnt have 2 years of medical records so I was unable to get it approved until i had the 2 years of medical records. It took me more than 18 months to get approved.

So, I am almost 3 weeks out and this is my second time I have had the case of the "dumps". The first time was because I had no sugar added fudgicles but this time I havr no idea why. my food today so far has been water, scrambled egg with cheese, 2oz. fresh grouper, protein drink and a no suagr added luigi's italian ice (1g sugar) I have all these foods before. the only thing new today was I started taking my b-12. any help would be appreciated. dumping is NO fun

to me it would be like smoking a cigarette for me. The ONLY reason why I quit smoking was for this surgery. I enjoy smoking and when I saw someone else doing it I would get SOO jealous and my mod would totally change for the first few months. Now I am fine but it took those first few months of frustration to get over it. BTW. we had our fun ... years of eating fried food and sugar laden sweets. we knew that train ws going to have to end. GOOD LUCK

As an ER nurse you could not pay me any amount of money to have a gastric bypass. I see ALL the mistakes and I refuse to live with a colostomy bag. There are very few issues with the sleeve. I may take me longer but I am 40 years old. It took me more than a year to gain this weight.

I have the magic bullet specifically for travel and work. I use the Kitchen ninja at home (my favorite) but the bullet does a great job too
