Grocery List
It was, I used organic chicken broth, chicken breast and egg white. I boiled the broth and added the breast and strained out the chicken (can't have that yet) put the egg white in a small bowl with black pepper and oregano then dropped it into the boiling broth. Wow it was great. It was a recipe from my Dr that I just added to.

Is It My Imagination That The Mexico Sleevers Seem To Have Less Complications?
Same here I'm in Boston Boston medical center Dr Hess. I was so worried about how fast I would be back to normal and I've been great since I've been.home from the hospital. Walking cleaning shopping drinking slow but fine getting on more than 60oz of just water. Everything else is protein. Dr Hess was so sweat he called my husband and had a long conversation after he finished that day. I can say he changed my life. I'm a week out.

Last Minute Change To The Sleeve
Welcome. I first wanted the sleeve because of the fact its done, no band to fill. Then bcbs didn't pay so I was desperate so I was settling for the band. In the process bcbs changed and approved the sleeve. I call my Dr and changed that minute. I have heard so many horror stories about the band but like I said I was desperate. I'm so Glad bcbs changed.

Update!
I feel the same. The thing is I want to loose slow. At least that's what I say. Since I've been youtubing and on this sight I see how fast people drop and I'm like maybe I should go as fast as I can before the stalls. Idk maybe slower is better I know slower is better. Skin has time to tighten up. Things are so confusing.

The Easy Way.....
Thank you so much for that post. I am almost a week out think why can't I just use this tool as it is. Why do I have to change to drinking these stinking shakes. I don't want to push it but I feel ok (not great). It's still early. I can drink fine slowly but fine no pain. The pain was from.the narcotics and gas. As soon as I stopped the drugs and hot my %&% in gear I was fine. I would love to be able to get my Protein naturally I'm working on it. Still drinking the stinking shakes though. So refreshing thanks.

How Would You Respond?
My fb life will have nothing to do with the weight loss. I don't like that much being out there. I feel protected on this web site.

5 Days Post Op Side Feels Like I've Been Run Over By A Truck And It Hurts When I Breathe!
No I wouldn't want you to stop if you need them. For me it was making me sick. Just take it easy and try and drink your water. Hope you better soon.

5 Days Post Op Side Feels Like I've Been Run Over By A Truck And It Hurts When I Breathe!
Idk but are you guys still on the pain med. I stopped last night. I only took it a couple of times since I've been home. But the hangover effect is so bad. I just decided to stop it. I'm doing better I was sweating a lot and its more hot I know its bc of the meds. Once we clear out (in all ways) we should be ok.

Pills Why Not Liquid
I was sent home with antacid pills and gallstone prevent pills. Do they come in liquid? I cant stand crushing then and the after taste. I'm afraid to gag so I'm doing it very slow. I'm afraid ill make a whole if I drink it to fast. Can i?

Made just feel reassured he took the extra time to do it. He said he checked everything before he closed me up. He was great. Dr Hess Boston medical center. He came to see me every day I was iv the hospital so nice.
