I do the elliptical, but im up to 6 miles n dont do carbs... i just drink a protein shake & my water while im running...

How about advise vs advice... stop asking ppl for ADVISE! if u want ADVICE!!!

I was told that post op i was NEVER to have an NG tube placed because of the risk of trauma/perferation to my tiny tummy... i would assume the same to b true for NJ... even if not, id go for j tube... i cant imagine having a tube in my nose that long!

Wow! Tallgirl! U look amazing already!!!

Thx OTR.. maybe cuz im on my phone?... idk... anywho... im 9 mos out, started @344 in feb last yr, 329 for surgery in april... now 215... loss slowed alot but still moving.... gonna detox off carbs next week... i let too many slip in over the holidays n need to get back in gear! I use regular ff chobani in cooking but have never tried the flavored ones (im picky... lol)... how bout u?

Sry, i dont mean ta sound like an ass but calling sumone whacko for no reason seems a little uncalled for...

Deffinately NOT unrelated... its due to the hormones (estrogen) being released from all those fat cells ur burning up! The brownish stuff is just old blood thats been sitting since u havent had a period in a while... no worries n it should get lighter n (im hoping) stop again... i got my mirena in oct 11 n vsg in apr 2012, hadnt had a period in mos... had a pretty bad one after surgery then a few that were not horrible missed a month just had one that was on a day, off a day, back on a day... lol... its really irregular... that to me is the worst part... but it deff has slowed down... im assuming as the fatburn/hormone release slows... n im pretty sure will go away again once that levels off (which hopefully wont b for another 70ish lbs) ... good luck!

Lol... i soooo feel u... had a great holiday n now in the process if getting back on track... good luck to us all!

U could always dilute the juice too... so 4 oz juice n 4 oz water to cut some of the cal & carbs... Look into syntrax nectars... they r the best ive found... they say mix with 8 oz water but i mix with 24 & add mio to cut the taste... but even without the mio they taste like heaven compared to some id tried! They also have sample packs from various sites that give u 1 serving of each of their 15 flavors... so u can see which u like b4 u get a big tub

Also, eating yogurt is a good way to replenish the "good bacteria" if u have to be on acid reducers for any length of time...

Any redness, lumps, or swelling? Surgery puts us at risk for blood clots... just something to be aware n cautious of... best of luck n hope thats not the case...

Lmao.. completely missed that one too... and 150mg = 0.15 gm...

Thats actually usually called foamies ... dumping is usually the other end n caused by too much carbs n the small bowel doesnt know what to do with them... the pyloric valve (and stuff staying in our stomach longer than rny) is y we r @ less risk for dumping, but never the less...some of our tiny tummies empty quicker than our old big stomach... which is y sone sleevers do get dumping (although usually more mild)... i havent had any issue... but my husband dumped for a while if he had carb but has adjusted n no longer has issues...

Actually some sleevers do dump... that said... ur fresh post op n on all liquids... liquids in, liquids out... i & many others had diarrhea for the first couple wks... and/or it could very well b a lactose intolerance uve developed... its supposedly fairly common... sooo glad i didnt get that one! Dont stress, just dont go too far from the bathroom ... Good luck!

I have no idea! But i do highly doubt that it has 150mg of any kind of protein... lol

I just searched... there is actually an entry for ejaculate... 1squirt = 7 cals... and one for semen (homeade)... 1tsp = 20 cal & 3.6 gm protein! LMAO... swear i did not make these entries! I couldnt make this **** up if i tried! Bahahaha!
