Antibiotics have always given me yeast infections...

my hubby and I got ours the same day, same surgeon. it's been just amazing. we have been going through the stages together and fighting the tough first week together. now we are a month out and we are able to support each other and enjoy the journey. plus we save tons of money from not eating out and sharing 1 serving of anything!!!!!

Deli turkey meat is rather easy to chew. Have a piece rolled up with a slice of your favorite cheese... Like a little turkey taquito. I usually put my turkey slice on a paper plate, slice of cheese on top and heat it up in the microwave for 20 seconds, then roll it up and enjoy. The cheese being melted makes it a lil easier to eat ( I use havarti cheese, it's awesome )

You know in the canned tuna section of grocerie stores they also have canned chicken there. It is good because it is so easy to chew chicken.

I totally agree! I'll be four weeks out this coming tuesday (sugery 8/21) and today I finally feel like its all coming together. I feel good and am able to eat a variety of foods. puddings are hopefully just a blissful memory!

kinnymom....wowza, what a great victory! I get tired just watching the infomercials. lol!
Good luck & much success on your continued journey.
p.s. - my hubby is my biggest cheerleader too....don't know what i would do without him :wub: . Have to give all hubbys out there a shout out....thank you for supporting us!

Congratulations!!! I am just 8 days out and I'm looking forward to totally abusing my Y membership. I miss really working out and Zumba was my bestfriend prior to reaching 260 of my lazy pounds. Keep up the good work. Tell your hubby that my hubby has motivator pom-poms too. It's great to hear our spouses cheer us on. My hubby has been my cheerleader for 24 years this coming September 24. Keep on keeping on.

Two weeks out and I ran a mile today in 30 minutes . It was AWESOME, I haven't felt this alive in a long time . I am a full time nurse with 3 children and a husband so I have to find the time to exercise. I walk a mile everyday on my lunch break and 3 times a week I run 5 laps around my neighborhood which equal a mile . I've managed to go from 247 to 215 in two weeks and I'm VERY proud of it )

Hang in there Red597. They say all the swelling in your stomache goes away at 4 weeks and that's no lie . Brighter days are right around the corner!

For all the new sleevers hang on and have hope. The first three weeks for me were the worst . It hurt to drink and to eat . I was depressed hit a stall last week that I still haven't came off of but it's ok. This weekend has been the best I've felt since surgery . I was able to have a selection of foods although in small amounts I had watermelon and seafood salad with crackers, I even ate a salad On a down note I am completly lactose intolerant but it's ok. O yeah I had one egg with provolone cheese and salsa and it was yummy . I hope this encourages someone who having a difficult time transitioning By the way I've lost 39 pounds in a month down 3 dress sizes ))

It was hard but I did it ))

I had it prior to my surgery and couldn't do it. I put it on tonight and did the whole 45 minutes , my husband was my cheerleader (lol) and that really motivated me and the 30 lbs I've lost helped too I guess.

Pretty BEFORE and after. I'm in a stall right now , it's been about 2 weeks . I went to my NUT today and was educated on non scale victories. Trying to learn that the scale is apart of my success, my total success does not rest totally in it. I wish you the best .

I don't know if you've tried Boca brand patties. They are vegatarian alternative for meat, it's basically soy and packed with Protein. It doesn't taste bad either not delicious but definatly not bad. Tofu is another thing that's packed with protein. They have tofu sausage that are great in the grill. They are all soft and I was able to tolerate them through the soft stages. cheese is also soft and has some protein in it. I wish you luck and encourage you to just try the seafood and see if you like it.

I screaming....Hang in there. My body is sore becuase I ran a mile today it took 35 minutes and some spots of power walking but I did it. I told my husband I'm in a pivotal place in the WLS the first stall. I said the first 39 was easy but the next 39 are one me and I'm going to get it We should all be proud of the steps we are taking to be healthier people

I did same. Was stalled for 7 weeks when i started ... and now finally been losing pretty well for the past 6 wks. So ya I'd like it to all come off fast and easy but in reality it's not going to ALWAYS show on the scale. Now onward to lose this last 20 for sure.! Slow n steady (or NOT!) wins the race LOL.
