I am 11 weeks out and this is an example of my daily meal plan: Breakfast: Light n Fit Dannon Green yogurt (Blueberry or Strawberry) with half a scoop unjury unflavored Protein powder mixed in. 1 lf cheese stick. Lunch: 2oz Turkey Breast 1 lf cheese stick FF french onion dip Melba Toast (4) Dinner: Sam's chicken meatballs (3) Cucumbers (about 6 slices peeled) ff french onion dip Then I have at least one Protein Drink of some kind. I usually like Syntax nectar drinks that you mix with 16 oz of Water. So I am getting 23 grams of protein and 16 oz of water at the same time.

If you are strictly looking for unflavored, unjury mixes the best. Also, after mixing it with things, let it set a little bit. It will take the smell away. I also have the flavored Syntrax Nectars and love them.

I was sleeved on Oct 23rd. I started out at 280 and Friday the one day a week that I weight, I weighted 219!! 61 pounds gone forever!! I have had very few issues. At the beginning it was hard to get down the liquid and get all the protein in. But now I get plenty of both. I am very happy that I did this surgery. Congrats to all of us!!

I was 10 weeks out yesterday and I too have to be very conscience of when I am eating and remind myself to slow down. That has been the most difficult part of this entire surgery for me. Just keep trying. You will get there.

I also love the Crystal Sky, Strawberry Kiwi, Cappucino, and Fuzzy Navel.

Okay so maybe some of you already know this but I just figured this out. I ran out of flavored shake mix and still had unjury unflavored left. So I decided to mix one scoop of unflavored unjury, 16 oz of water and 1 individual packet of sugar free hawaiian punch in the green flavor and it's awesome!! It tastes just like the syntax nectar products except has more flavor. Also, you are getting in 16 oz of water per drink. Instead of having to do a 4 or 8 oz shake then water. So it's a win win!! Also, I think that 16 oz helps to dilute the protein so that it doesn't taste as strong.

For you low carbers, Atkins has started making frozen meals in a variety of different meals. Check them out at walmart. Not sure who else caries them. I also heard that they are very good.

I want to exercise more and add strength training. And to get strict again on my diet. The holidays I have slacked a little. Not due to eating bad but due to keeping track of everything like water and protein.

Just checking to see how October 23rd sleevers are doing. Actually any October Sleevers. What are you eating, how are you feeling and what troubles are you experiencing? I am still having trouble getting all of my food and liquids in....

I was sleeved Oct 23rd too and am down 53 pounds!!

I am down 53 lbs!! Which is great but for about 3 weeks or so, if I stand too long, my sleeve hurts. I mean really hurts. But only when I stand for long periods of time. Has anyone else had this issue? Of course, I still feel that my stomach is swollen and probably will be for a while. Any ideas?

Thank you for the response. That would make sense.

You are truly an inspiration!! Congratulations!!

Piplula,\ I am from Central Texas.

Could I please have all of you to add me to your MFP. I can't seem to add friends. It tells when I try to invite friends that it can't send the email. Not sure what I am doing wrong. My name on MFP is happytobehere55. Thank you

I was sleeved on Oct 23rd. So I am in between my 5th and 6th week and was just wondering what others are able to eat at this stage.

I need to get new ideas for my menus. Or if you add me, that would be fine too. Thank you in advance.

I have been losing hair like crazy and I will be 7 months out on Tuesday. My hair on the top front is so thin I can 't hardly fix it anymore. Contemplating a wig or extensions or something!!

I was sleeved on 10/23/12. My name is happytobehere55

suejersey, When you eat your Protein like meat, how many ounces are you eating at one sitting. I still struggle on portion sizes. I have been eating 2 oz but when I am done I am not full but I am satisfied. Just want to make sure that I am eating what I am supposed to at this point. And an omelet, how much of that do you eat?

I haven't heard of that one. But I am sure there are plenty that I haven't heard of. Sorry.

Your smile says it all. You look beautiful and so happy. Congratulations!! I am proud for you and I know you are of yourself!!
