  1. Gatorade is a sports drink with electrolytes..you probably have one over there..it is for dehydration.
  2. Walk walk walk early..I did and day two I was feeling good..u got it girl!
  3. It seems you and I are pretty similar..I lost about the same amount as you..on same day...I had one of those moments..sometimes throughout the day I go through that. Like wow I really did it. And I don't have to be big anymore..what's cool is I wont be anymore..its a good feeling to know it versus just hoping for it..yeeeeaaahh..so happy...can't wait for the first year to pass!
  4. I'm ordering it too..I want to try it in everything..I think ignition isn't too bad protien wont be problem at all..unsure..just happy its done and we are officially sleeved.
  5. I am already on full liquids..protien shakes and cream soups..yogurt..I am five days out..mostly protien shakes though..clear liquids means no shakes?
  6. I CANT STAND GREEK YOGURT BY ITSELF EITHER...ADD SPLENDA AND ITA YUMMY
  7. I would listen to these guys..there like sleeve ..Mr miagi's ..and I would definitely go..
  8. Those five weeks will fly..good luck!! Kit
  9. I'm day five...it went well but I haven't had problems with anything..it was only like 2 oz. Though ..but yummy
  10. When I have Greek yogurt..it helps me..almost everytime
  11. In the recipe section there is an awesome pumpkin pie no crust recipe..looks yummy
  12. I hope this info helps someone. I sent this to someone that was having fears ..I know I had my fears and all these kind of story's helped me mentally prepare..here mine.. I lost 20 when I started my preop diet over the month before surgery and I lost ten since Wednesday when I had it..I'm only 5 days out of surgery..and I feel pretty back to normal..was just thinking about going in to work for couple hours tommorow. When I got to hospital they gave me and I.v and started fluids..they gave me a blood thinner shot and percocet to calm me. I waited in a room until it was my turn..the anesthesiologist came and explained what would happen..freaked my mother out so bad she started crying..and I almost changed my mind..my daughter looked scared ..but then I remembered my faith and just knew I would be o.k. I went in and within a minute I was passed out. Woke up to people calling my name ..and a horrific pain in my chest..it wasn't my stomach that hurt..it was my chest ..it felt like there was a elephant sitting on my chest. It was very painful. I read on here that it is gas from surgery and to walk..so I made them let me walk as soon as I got my room..that helped..I was in tears..but by 2 am that night..it was a lot better..they monitored me and gave me pain meds. My doctor gives his patients a pain ball called a on -Q pump..it is a pump you carry around with you and it has a tiny hose that stays inside you where your stomach is and it releases a numbing medication right where the doctor cut. I think this was soooo helpful because I never felt stomach pain..only gas pains.. after three days you just pull it out..sounds creepy but I couldn't feel it. I stayed one night in hospital..left next evening..feel fine..I'm glad I went through with it..I'm careful about what I eat and how fast I drink..I don't want a leak..that's my only fear..but I gad so many fears before surgery..I'm just glad its done..now the job is staying hydrated and getting protien
  13. I've got 15 oz of water ..one shake..2 oz of tomatoe soup..and a half of a SF pudding all day..I need more protien..I think I will add a scoop of my vanilla shake mix to my evening yogurt..I need more water. I get distracted I forget it is a job..lol...feeling good..
  14. I feel like that sometimes if I'm doing too much..or if I need water..check your self..sit for half hour and make it a job to get that water in and see how you feel..take your pulse too..they told me it shouldn't be over 100 per min...hydration I think is important..to how you feel...
  15. I was sleeved on Wednesday so 5 days out..never got clear liquids been drinking shakes..had yogurt..and tomatoes soup..cream of chicken soup ..feeling great..get sleepy if I do too much..loving my sleeve;)
  16. What are you getting in..how y'all feeling?
  17. Not too much..I would expect a stall..I lost 12 and already prepered my self for a stall in a week just in case..
