I'm in Orange Co. That's awesome good luck to you on your journey!

I was told no citrus for few months. I would just chew on it and spit it out. Sorry I know it's gross but I would be scared to eat it.

No worries. I was stalled for about 2 1/2 weeks lost nothing gained 2 pounds then finally I am down 3 pounds. Just keep drinking water and taking in as much of your protein as possible. it's gonna happen. Good luck!

Wow great! Keep up the hard work. : )

That is awesome! You have done a great job! Continued success on your journey!

I love soup! Can I get your recipe for them? I love Italian wedding soup.

O bummer hon. I am 3 weeks post op and been sick since Saturday. Coughing and sniffles. I dont have any pain really anymore. But if you are coughing try holding a pillow up to your abdomen and cough. Try not to cough to hard. Feel better soon!

Thanks! Going to GNC after work!

where do I find Isopure drinks?

Great! Welcome!

You can usually get in the market.

Hi I'm from OC California. I was sleeved on 1/28/2013. Need some mentors/buddies. Hope to hear from ya'll soon.

Hi! I use Beef shank. Throw a couple in a pot with garlic a whole onion and oregano. Skim the yucky stuff off and once that is all done continue to let boil for another hour or so till meat id flling of fthe bone. Add cilantro, carrots, celery, zucchini and salt to taste. If you have some Knorr buillion you can add some of that in place of the salt. Let all boil until veggies are done. After cools down remove all the meat and veggies you can feed to your family. Put the broth in another pot and place it in refrigerator till all congeals, skim off all the fat. It's pretty good. I do the same with chicken and turkey.

Thanks for the input. Hmmm I cant remember if my Dr even gave me a calorie guidline! But I am keepin git under 500 for sure. Hard getting in my Water. I'll just keep drinking as much as possible and go to 2 ozs for my meals too.

I was revised on 1/28 and from pre-op to now down 20 lbs. However, i have not lost anything in a week and even gained 2 pounds and now down 1....I am under 500 cal's a day. I have only been able to get in about 30 grms a protein a day (sometimes) and about 25-40 oz's of water. Does coffee and shakes count for the water? Anyone???

Can you tolerate cream of wheat? That, poscicles and jello worked well for me. Good luck!

There is minimal blood loss, but everyone is different.

Does anyone know if I am still on mushy foods for the next 2 weeks, would it be ok to blend up pasta soup? Like fideo?

Me too....but I thought maybe beans, lentils and tofu.

Good for you! You have the power! : )

Great job! You can do it!

Yeah, that was me 2 weeks ago. It will get down gradually. Remember your body has gone through a traumatic surgery. Just take it a day at a time. Good luck to you!

cont....but now...wow I am so happy and Tiffany0925 is right, you just have this overwhelming feeling of sassyness...lol. I feel fabulous and I can't wait till you do too! Just let people say that they are gonna say, it doesn't mean they know what they are talking about.

I got that all my life! I am 46, 47 on the 17th. I got the "o you are so pretty just get on a good diet" Well PEOPLE it's obvious that diets just don't do the work for me. I just let people talk at me and I listened respectfully..then I went home and ate a bag of popcorn or something.
