Who says you have to eat Breakfast food for breakfast!? If there's something you've been craving (healthy choice' date=' obviously) maybe try it for breakfast to get your appetite on track!

I'm still on full liquids post-op but I'll tell ya right now, the first day I'm on puree I'm definitely NOT having oatmeal for breakfast or a shake... Refried Beans and melted cheese is first up on my menu! LOL[/quote']

I agree!! I had bfast for lunch today-turkey sausage & southwestern egg beaters...very good!!

Congrats on a great job!!

I went out and bought a elliptical machine after work today. Walking mils a day has gotten so boring and it's starting to rain and get cold a lot so hope that will shake up my routine a bit.

What kind (brand) did u get?! I'm in the market myself...

O & one scoop to 8-12 oz of liquid is 30 Protein

Someone suggested Labrada v60 to me-I bought a canister of choc ice cream flavor-& it does taste like choc ice cream...1 of the better ones I've tried-& ive tried quite a few

Thank u so much for ur input. I at first was going with Dr. Verboonen' date=' but recently changed to Dr. Lopez. I'll be sure to try the chicken broth when I go![/quote']

My Dr was verboonen..had a revision from band to sleeve on 9/14...doin great...loved him & got 2 meet his family also-that's how they made us feel-like family...good luck to u!!

Tks!!

Oh I just love u Angel!!! I too am in the 3 wk stall (revision band-vsg 9-14) but I'm ok with that..I'm back in ketosis, so I'm hopin a lb or 2 will vamoose from my caboose soon!!

Sounds yummy!

@Mommeof3......you ate probably spilling ketones in your urine as you are loosing weight from burning all the fat. That is also why our breath and mouths taste funny.

Yup-if ur in ketosis, urine will have a 'sharp' smell...totally agree with bukki!! 1 way to check is if your local pharmacy carries glucose sticks-the ones u pee on...the darker the purple it turns = ketosis...handy little things

Hey all! Sleeved 9/14 & also single...went thru a bad divorce that finally ended in April of 2011...then, my ex hubs passed away 8 months later from heart disease. He was 42. One of

The reasons I decided to go with the sleeve...life isn't garanteed-I hope in doing this, I'll have a long life with my daughter. And perhaps a love interest in the future

Very cool

I had my revision done Sept 14th in Mexico. Went just fine, no pain meds, up & walking just me & my IV to the bathroom within 2 hours of surgery. Surgery took about an hour & 45. Haven't had any issues, incision sites look great, am eating puréed/soft texture foods.

I never had any gas pain & I bought 2 boxes of gas X strips for nothin..lol when I had my gallbladder out-I had gas then, but not with my sleeve..yea, I do get hungry sometimes...not ravenous, but some hunger...I just try & focus on Protein first...I even take lean roast beef or chicken breast & blend it into soup...the hunger pangs are nothing like they were b4...I can eat about 2-2 1/2 oz @ a time right now...

When is your surgery?

Oh I see. How are you doing then?

Doin really well-been able to get all my fluids in these last cpl days & trying to get all my Protein...really close no issues with anything I've eaten, I'm doin softs now, never had pain, & exercising everyday...I'm happy with this tool so far!!!

I had the same thing happen to me-crazy hormones from the surgery...

Your welcome SoReady219. Good luck with your surgery this month

I had my surgery 2 wks ago today, but I like to read all the diff diets everyone brings up

Tks for the info

Well' date=' as of this evening I learned that refried Beans are NOT my friend...sigh..not yet anyway. I heated up some fat free spicy Beans with a wedge of Laughing Cow Chipotle cheese and OMG so yumm-o....until....they got stuck.

So I got up and walked away. Came back later and took another bite and the same thing. So I guess my body isn't ready for that one. Oh well, the taste I had was great![/quote']

Did u thin the beans down a little? May b mix in a little salsa? Could they have been too thick?

Ok friends... I need your help!

Im about 2 weeks post op and I'm having a very hard time getting in my fluids and Protein.< /p>

I can't stand the taste of any of the Protein Shakes I've tried' date=' I can eat Soups and yogurt but that's not giving me enough protein. I've been able to eat babybel light cheese... Hope that's ok!

I can't seem to get more than 25-35oz of Water in daily. I can't explain why... It's just very hard.

If I force myself on any of the above I slime.

What an I doing wrong???[/quote']

I hear u-honostly today will b the 1st day I've gotten my water in...as far as protein, ur doin soups-so this eve I blended 4 oz of lean roast beef into some Tomato basil soup-the Soup alone has hardly any protein, but since I added the beef, it does..the meat is around 7grams per oz...now, it made a whole cup-but I'll eat what I can, & at least get more in than just soup alone...do u flavor ur water? Does the temp matter?

I'll b Thinkin of u on ur surgery day & u have us all here to 'talk' to... I'm sorry for your situation, more stress to deal with..

Just wanted to say hi to all u guys & I'm glad ur feeling better Ms Ready! Wanted to ask, do cold things or hot things have any affect on that stuck feelin in ur throat? Cold made me feel that way for the 1st wk or so...I had surgery on the 14th, & doin pretty well...I stick with full liquids, but I have been blending Soups for a 'regular' dinner...I'm dyin for refried Beans, but nervous that they'll b heavy on my belly...

1 other thing I do is I eat with a baby spoon...helps me keep the bites small, & things go down smoothly (yogurt, pudding, mashed taters, potted meat)

Hope u gals start feelin better! I pray for all of us to be healthy

All these ideas sound awesome!

Hard for me to get all my Protein in-so, hope this helps

I looked for it @ bodybuilders.com
