Let it grow let it grow let it grow!
Carol Watts replied to Joy00's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
When did this phase start, and how long did it last. May I ask. I havent started losing any yet. I am scared it is going to happen, and I already have thin hair. -
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

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.

Question about protein foaming in the blender

Does the unjury protein taste as good as the nectar ? Also is it light on the stomach ?

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,

What did you do when you were scared post-surg?
Carol Watts replied to TheLCSpencer's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
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. -

Jumped ahead in the post-op diet.......
Carol Watts replied to nikie409's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
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
Carol Watts replied to syrup79's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
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. -
the foam will happen with the nectar also. Sometimes I will just stir mine good, but the nectar doesnt dissolve as good that way. I also use almond milk I tried water first

Blue diamond is what I use. I havent tried any other brand. O was told blue diamond was the best
