May I ask where did you purchase the Lemonhead Powered Drink Mix. I have never heard of it, but I use to eat lemonheads like crazy before my surgery.

You go girl!!!!!!!!!! enjoy and make sure you do everything you ever dreamed of:)

I don't have one either. Iv'e never even heard of a drain tube for the sleeve surgery, but I have heard about one for the lap band.

I guess it depends on the person and their prior health situation. I was off for six weeks, I also had FMLA and was paid at 100%. I was trying to focus on me and my new life changes, so that's why it took me so long.

That's onederful:) and it is a great feeling, CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm 4 months out, and fortunately I haven't experienced any stalls. what everyone is saying is correct, I exercise all day except when I'm sleeping, I'm not for sure if that is good or bad but, at work I do chair exercises, I walk for an hour on lunch, I walk after dinner, I ride my recumbent bike while watching television and when I'm in bed I do leg lifts until I fall a sleep. I even go to the gym on the weekends, I know crazy right, but I haven't had a stall and I am dropping weight like crazy.

Yes, I do use water not milk.

I just bought some Nectar - Roadside Lemonade and Nectar - Apple Ecstasy today and mixed them together with some frozen pineapple chucks and added 2 - Stevia Liquid - Apricot Nectar drops it was great! I really do not like protein drinks, but I will be using this combination for a while.

It is so worth it. I had mine on 8/29/2012 and I am down 110 lbs already I was over 400 lbs, so I have a ways to go but I feel amazing!!!! and so will you:) I'm not for sure about your faith but just pray to whom ever you believe in as I will pray for you and make sure you get lots of sugar free popsicles, because you are not going to want to drink, but make sure you try hard to do so. Keep me posted and congratulations:)

Thank you, I will give it a try:)

Good luck! I will be sending up prayers for All:)

I agree with Ms. Lilana, please stop the bickering, I enjoy this website, because it is helpful. I have learned a lot and met a lot of nice people. So please keep it clean and be nice Ms. Jaspersgirl:) You can agree to disagree!

Are the Premiers Whey Isolated?

You go girl! You look wonderful, and the shoes and hair cut are hot, hot, hot:)

Congratulations:) it's always nice to hear great going well stories. Stay encouraged!!!!!!!!!!!! cute daughter.

I would stay away from the stool softeners, you want to try natural things. I was having problems with constipation, so bad I had to be hospitalized and I ended up with stitches, but know I eat black berries and I go daily with no diarrhea or any other problems.

Mr. butterthebean is right, this is for you and your health. Do not worry about others, focus on you and love your mom, because she is reaching out for help as well. That's still your mom and let it go, embrace her and maybe start working out together. It's enough shine to go around:)

At this stage you should be 5 to 6 weeks out and on a pureed diet/soft foods. You should be measuring your food and be consuming 3 - 4 ounce increments in each sitting. I had surgery 4 months ago and I can only eat 2 ounces in each sitting, but I eat 4 - 5 times a day and smaller portions. I was sick and regurgitating all the time, because I was getting to full at 3 - 4 ounces of food. And what also helps me is that I eat with a baby spoon and fork so I know I'm not consuming to much at a time. It's just a lifestyle change you will get use to it, and just try to eat slow and maybe start at 2 ounces, your body will let you know when you can consume more or need to back off. It gets better:)

I was always cold too. until I started the vitamin B-12 shots. I take them once a week , and you should take your vitamins and protein. I know it's hard sometimes, but try and eat beans, cheese, fish, and cottage cheese if you will not take protein shakes.

Awww, I'm sorry that you guys had some pain and discomfort, because I didn't. I was up and walking once I woke up. I was in the hospital for three days due to my Diabetes and I was on a clear liquid diet in the hospital. I eat popsicles and chicken broth with chicken flavored unjury protein mixed in the broth. I didn't take any pain medications, I was very nauseated and dizzy for two months, but I wore medication patches behind my ear for that. I did have a dry mouth as well and I used Biotene too. I just took my time with eating and drinking. And when I wasn't resting I was walking all around my house, so I wouldn't form blood clots. I had to crush my medications and I did put it in applesauce in order to get them down, but other then that I was great! I am down 96lbs and my surgery was 3 months ago. So know that it is worth it. Pray when you feel any type of discomfort or pain, when you can't drink, suck on a popsicle. I craved Lemonade Minute Maid Light with two Splendas and unflavored unjury protein powder and I put it in the Ninja with ice and it turned into a slush and I just sipped on it with a spoon. But even thing will turn out great! and good luck:)

Yes indeed it will get better, I agree with Mr. Polite, your body is going through a dramatic transformation. And you have to learn how to eat and drink all over again. I did go through the vomiting and the dehydration and I was hospitalized. But I started using a spoon to drink sips of my beverages and I ate a lot of ice chips and popsicles that helped me a lot until I was able to learn to drink slowly. I also was hospitalized for constipation and had to have 7 stitches, but no regrets. I finally pulled it all together and I am doing wonderful and you will too. Do not give up and stay positive, because I will be praying for your health and success on your journey:) Did your Doctor give you some patches for nausea, they go behind the ear, and they work wonders. I had to wear them for 2 months after my surgery, because I was always dizzy and nauseated, but I never had any pain. I know it doesn't seem like it now, but there is a light at the end of the tunnel, and it will be all worth it:)

OMG! sorry about that. I thought you had boys, well I hope you do go out and have a great time:)

Good afternoon: I've never heard of a sleep apnea test done at home either. Who is suppose to monitor you while you are sleeping. Well I had sleep apnea for 3 years and after my surgery, 3 months ago I have no more sleep apnea, so there is light at the end of the tunnel. Good luck!

Hi Tsmyle: I was wondering how you were feeling? I hope a little better:) I will continue to pray for you.

Yeah!!!!!!!!!!! That's awesome! it is well worth it:)
