I was told years ago that I had a fatty liver.....I was concerned but I lost 40 lbs prior to surgery and I did 1 week of liquids prior to surgery....my surgeon said everything looked good.

I didnt get one with my sleeve, but have had them before, its no biggie!

I have only found the nectar at vit shoppe or on line. Couldnt even find it at GNC. The Fruity nectar is excellent with crystal light, mix and match.....delish with a bunch of ice....just love it! Sams has the pre packaged premium protein vanilla and chocolate. they are one of the best I have tasted. I drink celebrate and unjury as well. Love the pre packaged,no mixing needed. all are delish! also try isopure protein water...40 gram of protein in 20 oz of water, 2 birds one stone kinda thing. I get those at vit shoppe, GNC and online...like amazon.com Nectar has its own site......

sams club premier protein and syntrex nectar. check for nut allergies tho. The nectar is great with crystal light.

Wow what a story.....so glad you are better. Were you taking actigall?

Really.........I would be jumping for joy knowing that you dont need food anymore as a crutch......and you will be at a normal weight soon....dont be sad about used to be's; be happy about the NEW and improved you! THERE'S NO CRYING IN WEIGHT LOSS.........LOL.

Vitamin shoppe or GNC and online.

nectar by syntex, is excellent mixed with water and crystal light! Also Isopure protein water. Hope you fell better!

Hi, I am almost at week 3 just advanced to pureed foods. Having some discomfort or spasm after eating cottage cheese or saltines....it passes and I dont vomit. I have an email out to my doc asking if I should go with it or go back to liquids...... Did or does anyone else deal with this? Kim

just had a mini babybel lite cheese.......tasted good but stomach is spasming a tad!

I was advanced to puree today and I ate melba toast with hummus.........................foodgasm!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Praying for you.

Hi, sleeved on Election Day, going back to work on MOnday, that will be 15 days.....I too feel really good, I am afraid to say it......(knock wood) Cant wait to get to the pureed stage, I am so sick of pudding Jello and Soup. So thankful to the good lord for leading me thru so well so far!

I got hand holding in pre op and hugs at discharge from my Doc, Arthur Carlin our of Henry Ford Detroit, he is a very talented angel.

Well grab the bull by the horns, get back on the wagon, you havent gained enough to freak out. Just go back to the basics......protein first, eating slow, you know the drill. You are only human.....and imperfect. If you let it go farther then you could be in real trouble, nip it now! You got this!

the pain gets better, hang in there. Walk as much as you can......about 5 days you should see a real turn around.!!

strawberry protein powder mixed with water and lemonaid crystal light is the bomb!

Surgery November 5th, I am eating the cambells bisque soups in the box, jello, pudding, shakes, mashed potatoes, pudding coolwhip, cream of wheat, isopure,gatorade all low cal and sugar free. as far as shakes, I use celebrate, unjury and nectar. Nectar is the bomb, it changes it up because its fruity flavors....very good. Had a pina coloda yesterday.......

You ladies are so lucky, my surgeon waits 2 weeks before advancing to pureered. I called the dietitician this morn and asked if I could have mash pot, because i need more then Jello and pudding.....she said sure as long as they didnt bother me. She was actually shocked I was ready for them. Granted I can only eat a tablespoon or so but daym they were delish! Sleeved on Election Day

Whoot Whoot!

Someone Give me a Whoot Whoot!!!!

how many calories are you taking in daily?

Just curious...I am at one week 2 days post op and I have lost 12 lbs....seems like alot, just want to make sure I am at par.

Hi, I am an Election Day Sleever, I think I am doing well. I have been walking everyday, cleaning and cooking. Pain is minimal...went to a huge craft show 2 days ago..going to the mall today. Getting in 50-60 oz of water, I know I need more. yesterday close to 100 grams of protein, I mix it in everything plus Isopure protein water (reason I am going to the mall) I do get hunger pangs.....I cant wait to eat a huge spoon full of pasta and have a glass of wine.

This is the exact truth! You are in starvation mode....your body is holding on to your fat, your body is afraid it wont get anymore food......EAT WOMEN!!!!!! JUST eat the right stuff.........................
