  1. UTI's are caused 99% of the time by E. Coli. after abdmoninal surgery some women can get a UTI just because it hurts to bend over and properly not cleaning... or... if you had a catheter placed during surgery the vagina was not cleaned properly before insertion.
  2. when you made the mexture in the blender ws it almost 3 times the size almost the consistancy of whipped cream. when you add it into the ice cream maker... pour it in slowly. dont just dump it in there. dont give up took me a few trial & errors to get it just right. Here is a link on eggfaces ice cream tips. (scroll don to the bottom of the page) http://theworldaccordingtoeggface.blogspot.com/2010/02/protein-ice-cream-101.html
  3. anything that you can hold a glass up to a light and see thru is considered a clear lliquid.
  4. I had about 1/2 lb of strawberries that were almost on their way out. Not good enough to eat raw but not bad enough to throw them out. I cut them up added 2T of balsamic vinegar and cooked them down. I added some splenda to taste and also thickened it with cornstarch. I just made an awsome topping for my protein ice cream. Having some right now on top of chocolate.
  5. I didnt have the 2 years medical records even though I could have proved otherwise I have been overweight almost my whole adult life. I was denied by aetna and had to wait until the year ended (8 months) to re-apply again. Happy to say I got it after the second try. I started my journey in July of 2010 and just got sleeved this past april.
  6. all depends on your doc. I was told anything that is watery enough to go thru a straw you can have. I added water to it.
  7. tomato, cucumber with 1oz. fresh mozzarella drizzle with a flavored balsamic vinegar, salt & pepper. It is so yummy
  8. happens to almost everybody. I stalled for almost 3 weeks then in the last 2 weeks I have lost 10 lbs. Give it time.
  9. some foods go down much easier than others for me. somedays I can eat a whole cup of food withput any effort and others I can barely get 500 calories in for the day. last night I had 2 oz. of talapia and some zucchini and I coulnt finish it. to me it is how dense the protein is. Make sure you are not drinking and eating at the same time
  10. you are looking FANTABULOUS !!!!!
  11. I have the ninja and use it with the cookie dough blade to whip air into the mixture before I put it in the ice cream maker. using that blade almost triples in size the volume of the mixure so it makes the ice cream rich & creamy. If you wont whip air into the mixture it turns into a dense lump.
  12. even after loosing all my weight my boobs will still be too big to feel safe on a roller coaster. :-)
  13. I have one almost every day. always have two kinds pre-portioned in my freezer.
  14. no fever... surgery should be as scheduled :-)
  15. after the first week. it will become much easier for you. I domt know if you are allowed clear liquids but sugar free popsicles saved me because I wanted to chew on something.
  16. I use it when I am making ice cream
  17. too many long term complications with the bypass. I work as a nurse in an large urban emergency room and see ALL the complications... from erosion of the esophagus from the lapband and slippage to intestinal blockages and ended up with the colostomy bag with the bypass. I have only seen ONE complication (except dehydration) from the sleeve which was a post surgical abscess. Hands down the sleeve was for me !!!
  18. I was told never again for carbonation after surgery
  19. it is not the diet, it is the carbonation. bubbles ='s bad
  20. was planning on buying a la carte anad splitting the meals in 2. just a few items for the week. also grabbing a chicken already made from the store and using that for the week.
  21. most self pays in the DFW metroplex are about that amount. I used Dr Kuhn. also Dr Nicholson is great too
  22. I was reccommended by my NP to take my B12 every day. since then my energy level has increased 10 fold.
  23. Has anyone used this service? My husband is going to be out of town for 3 months and on the days that I work 12 hour shifts It is hard for me to find the time to plan out my meals. I though about using this company and splitting the portions in 2 just on the days that I work and supplementing with my protein shakes and fresh veggies
