    Protein Drinks

    I was told to try to find one low in sugar and at least 20 grams protein. I think it is all in the taste also. It is finding one you really like the taste of. That is my opinion

    No milk?

    Milk bothers me also. I went to soy milk and it still felt heavy on my stomach, so now I do almond milk. It taste just as good as any of the other milks, or it does to me.

    soy milk

    I tired soy in mine. Soy was still to heavy for my stomach. I switch to blue diamond almond milk. It is not as heavy on the stomach. I still wish I could find something lighter than the almond milk,
  14. I dont regret mine at all. I no longer need and diabetes med. I was on insulin 3 times day. Sugar still run extremely high. The day of surgery my sugar was 301 today it barely runs between 87- 100. My liver had fatty liver disease that was turning to cirrhosis from fat. I have alot more energy. I am able to exercise, walk, clean house and I don't tire as easy, I also don't get short of breathe. Different ones are always complimenting on how good I look. I am 9 weeks post op I have lost around 53 pounds. I have dropped from a 24 in jeans to a 16. I have went from 3x - 4 x shirts to lg-xlg shirts. You will like it after you have it done. I got scared the last week. It is almost pain free surgery or was for me. Nothing worse than a cramp. Yes walk all you can, it keeps soreness down.
  15. I felt basically the same way. They finally had to giving me my sleeping med. back and I still dont sleep past about 6 hours.
  16. I went to cream soups the next day after coming home. I couldnt do the baby food, or the purred foods. I couldnt stand the texture. So I went to cream soups then chopped and a few days later small bites. I eat what I want except I dont eat sweets or carbonated drinks, vegetable soup is the only thing that has made me sick and that was a few nights ago. I am 9 weeks post op. My Dr told me I was doing great and that I should be able to eat what I want.

    Depo shot after the sleeve

    I took a hormone shot after my surgery and I stalled for 3 weeks which was long enough to start getting the hormones out of the body. So needless to say Is topped taking my hormone shot.
