This is my favorite Walmart's Great Value Cherry Drink Mix. I am upset can't find the 2 quart mix only 20 oz bottle mix now

Most of the time not hungry, but when you are just a little fills you up. But the first couple of weeks I wasn't hungry think it was the swelling on the stomach.

My doctor didn't require one either, just no weight gain

I found this topic on another message board: http://www.obesityhe...th-weight-loss/ One lady said that her eye doctor and NUT confirmed the weight loss and vision link. They also mentioned lack of Vitamin A

My fiancee is on Medicare and wants to have VSG. He just started his 6 month diet with his doctor. The surgeron he saw is hopeful that Medicare will start covering the VSG within the next year. He said he has written letters and gotten other doctors to write letters requesting that they cover it. However fiancee will be going to RNY if the VSG still isn't covered by that time.

OMG I have been saying that... just roll them up and stuff in the bra! Family finds it funny. Daughter wants me to be able to jump on trampoline with her. I tell her when I am within weight limits... but then I have to be carefull not to knock myself out with my "skin skirt"

Mine are going bye bye, usually one of the first places you will lose. I was wearing a D probably can do a C now. I have also lost in my feet and hands

I was told 3 months do you have a NUT that you have to visit?

I don't know if I had that done or not. I had labs drawn 10 days before surgery but I didn't ask what all they were testing.

yeap I found her from this forum someone had posted about her, she is funny! I have a party at work right now and I made two of her "bites" for it.

3 weeks was eating mashed potatos or baked potatos mashed up but not that often... more meat than potatos now

If you are drinking tea sweetened with sugar first change to unsweetened with Splenda or something... My NUT told me that tea has less caffeine than coffee. I just need to watch how it effects me. It can cause hunger and your sleeve might just not like caffeine any more

I was on pills in the hospital. My acid reducer is a capsule that I have to open. One doctor said the pills have to be about 5mm in size

I have tried a couple of the Oh Yeah bars and they are pretty good

Depending on what foods you can eat at your stage work on increasing your Protein. What did the doctor say about you thinking you had a stall? Try adding some S/F pudding mix to a Protein powder shake and use a blender. Can you handle cold temps? Throw in some ice and make it a "milkshake"

I was told to start with dark meat chicken because it moister and the only beef I can have is ground beef.

I have not had any stalls that I know about now at 7 1/2 weeks. However where I weight at uses a scale that does a body analzer. And it showed that in one week I had lost 10 pounds in my fat mass and gained 7 in fat free mass. So hopefully you are losing fat and gain equal fat free mass. Take some measurements if you are worried and compare them even when you are stalling... one pound of fat will take up more room than one pound of muscle

I second, third, forth, errr whatever that... once you are off pain meds you can drive, however I had problems backing up because it was painful to twist around. Suggest go out to the car sit in it and pretend you are backing up etc...

I was given 6-8 weeks, took 3 but was told I could have gone at 1, even though my discharge papers had 3 weeks

I stopped taking my pills within two weeks... never had it bad

Yeap in the last week I only lost three pounds but in the body analyzer showed I lost 10 pounds of FAT and gained the muscle mass. I will take a gain in weight if it is muscle mass gain and with a FAT loss

Yes the protein shake, milk, etc stay in the sleeve longer than clear liquids but not as long as food. Although I can't drink plain water as fast as Crystal Light

I only had it happen with a protein shake, but by the time I got "sick" there was nothing in the sleeve it had passed. So I just had dry heaves and foamy stuff...
