Mini Me Wanna~Be

Where did you find the best price if you don't mind me asking, I got some at Sam's club but they had limited SF flavors. :}

Welch's has 100% juice's with no added sugar here's where I found it: http://www.welchs.com/products/100-percent-juices?utm_campaign=PGJ_NB&utm_medium=paidsearch&utm_source=Google&utm_content=&utm_term=100+juice Hope this helps you find what your looking for :}

My understanding of drinking soda be it diet or regular is the carbonation is NOT good for the sleeve, it causes it to expand and can stretch it out if it is a routine drink. Also on newly sleeved it causes tummy troubles from all the bubbles in the carbonation. I have not had had my surgery yet but I feel ya, I have recently quit drinking my crack..... oh I mean Diet Pepsi and I want one on a hourly basis but I'm quitting now so hopefully I will be over my addiction to my Diet Pepsi before surgery. I wish you the best of luck in your journey :}

Thanks for posting these sites, will come in handy when I get to that stage :}

I'm sure that's the reason, I downloaded it yesterday. some good stuff in it. Hey Alia, been wondering how ya been. Send me a msg sometime. I hope everything is well with you :}

It's at the bottom of HeyBigMan's post. I passed it up the 1st time too :}

As a diabetic when my sugar goes low I have alot of the symptoms you are describing and my husband is hypoglycemic and he gets light headed, shakes and tunnel vision also. But if it were me I would definatley call my Dr 1st thing in the morning. Good luck I hope it's nothing, take care :}

I'm so glad your appt. ended up on the positive and you heard what you needed to hear. I haven't had surgery yet so I don't yet know what it feels like to be in your shoe's, I can only imagine. I do agree with you that everyone here has more of an understanding than people on the outside and to have someone judge you can be horrible, I always like to hear a positive over a negative but unfortunately sometimes we need a little negative to get us back inline. Again i'm very happy all is going well for you :}

I haven't had surgery yet but I know this is one of my worries, I have bought a couple toddler plates and silverware and plan on taking those with me when I eat at others homes or restaurants at least until I get the hang of it all and can eyeball what is too much. I don't know if the people you are spending the day with are aware of your WLS but I hope this helped and congrats on your surgery and your WL journey.

Awesome, congrats to you. That is one thing I know im going to have problems with after surgery. My parents all my life, even now im 41 "finish whats on your plate" I have already bought some toddler plates and silverare, just have to practice chewing 40 times and to stop when i need too. If you discover any new tricks let me know. :}

I haven't had surgery yet, the only thing I really know about watermelon is there is alot of water in it so it can cause diarrhea. Im thinking if that is all you can handle maybe throw some unflavored protein powder in it so at least your getting some protein. I would for sure call my Dr as there may be some other things going on. Good luck keep me informed on how your doing. Best wishes and prayers sent your way :}

ShrinkyDinkMe22: Thank you so much now maybe I don't have to bug ya'll with all my ?'s :}

I am in the beginning of my journey and haven't yet met with the surgeon for my consultant but was told today that having this surgery isn't going to be good for me because I'm diabetic and diabetic's "CAN'T" eat this much Protein because it is too hard on my liver and kidney's. I asked this person if they were in the medical profession and they said no, but that was what the Dr's told her sister when she wanted to get the surgery and she never had the surgery :{ (I'm not sure if she was going to get the bypass or the sleeve) and the funny thing to me is I live in a small town that doesn't have all the stores you all talk about on here and went to the grocery store and just happened to walk down the Natural foods isle (which is brand new in our store) and I found the PB2 that I've been seeing mentioned on here a lot, so I was reading the label and she walked up and just started talking to me. For the diabetic's out there, have any of you been told to be careful of too much protein or introducing the protein into your diet slowly? Until now I have never paid any attention to how much Protein I'm eating. I only have watch the sugar, carbs & sodium. Any advise or words of wisdom would be awesome. Thanks in advance for taking the time to read and respond :}

Thanks sarcasm, a lot of help to me :}

that's awesome so happy for you. Can't wait til I'm in your shoes and getting that phone call. since I'm just starting out it seems like it's gunna be a lifetime away. keep us posted on your journey :}

Ok thanks If it's one of those test tube gel one's i have read on here that the protein it does have in it isn't the good protein we need and if that's the case your torturing yourself for nothing......lol :tongue2:

@arcusx can I ask what insurance you have and was the $606 just for that one test?

@firebelle10 still don't know what one your talking about. I'm curious so I don't waste my money on it. Thanks in advance

@jessica9190 thank you for responding :} @snow, we are on a site that 90% of the talk is on food so I wasn't sure but I didn't want to assume anything and get my info backwards. I'm just starting out here so I'm making sure I'm on the same page as everyone else.

Lord I ask in your name for sleevendown's Doctor's to have steady hands and all the knowledge they need to make her surgery easy with no complications. Lord I ask that sleevendown has a pain free and speedy recovery so I and others can learn from her what I need to know that will help her, me and others thru our WL journey. Thank you Lord, in Jesus name AMEN Sleevendown, Please keep us posted on your wonderful new start :}

OK now im curious, which protein drink are you guys talking about?
