  1. Have you tried Unjury chicken soup? I had one of those a day to switch things up. It was quite tasty and a lifesaver!
  2. I was on victoza and metformin and left the hospital on neither and havent needed it since! So, sleeve is working beautifully! :-)
  3. I am loving you all right now! :-)
  4. Does anyone know why straws are discouraged with the sleeve? I think i miss straws the most!
  5. How much weight have you lost? I understand this happens when you loose to quicky!
  6. That is awesome! Tell us what you are doing right!
  7. I am afraid to pick one! I just want to get as healthy as possible!
  8. What do you attribute to your success? Tell us what you have done to be so successful!
  9. Yes, the spasms are normal with the sleeve. They almost felt like contractions. I still get them if i eat too fast.
  10. What is a Hematoma? That doesnt sound good!
  11. This is good stuff! Thanks for sharing!
  12. I mentally think the food im about to eat is going to taste good because of my memory of it, but then when i eat it, it is mostly just ok. If tnis keeps me thin for life, I'll take it. On some days i can eat certain things, like eggs, then on others like today, nothing tastes good!
  13. I also have type II. I havent had to take metformin since my sleeve surgery. My blood sugar is now constantly between 90 and 120 after eating.
  14. Ok, its good to know! This is my first bad day, so imagine my surprise!
  15. Since the surgery ive felt amazing. Today i feel tired and run down and nothing tastes good with a slight tummy upset. Is it normal to have good days and bad?
  16. Ive only lost six pounds since surgery on oct 8th. 15 before surgery, so 21 total. Hmmmmm..... Sounds like i am being the curve ball!
  17. Thanks all for responding to this. Im having pain on my right side as well. It feels like i may be doing too much. I went back to work two weeks after surgery and i try to walk five minutes every hour. Even if i sit at my desk wrong it hurts. It feels like my body woiuld rather be stretched out than sitting in front of a desk. Im sure it will get better.
  18. I was hoping i wouldnt be hungry, like some people. No such luck i guess. Im eating fives times a day, about 700 to 800 calories a day, gettimg about 80 to 90 grams of protein a day.
  19. Sounds like we are having similar results! It is a good feeling.
  20. You guys are awesome! Thanks for the good words!
