  1. Your in my thoughts and prayers. You got this
  2. What did you find as an easier protein your first week? I have isopure in the coconut flavor and it has coconut water in it so that means electrolytes. Lets all share that way the next person might be helped its not sickly sweet goes down like water for me, I was surprised but when I was discharged I got the ok to power walk on the treadmill. Who is with me on this, lets do whatever it takes so that this lifestyle change becomes the norm. Hope everyone is doing well I am. 4 days post. I like the about time powder I can't taste the stevia. And I find ginger tea calms the tummy. What do you have to share
  3. Bring your make up with you. If your staying a few days in hospital it makes you feel good and its something you have control over. I also had my hair done the day before remember if you look good you feel good I'm on day 4 post op I feel fabulous I followed my surgeon's rules so it made it easier for him which made a huge difference for me no gas pains after surgery. Much love blessings to you all
  4. I think as long as whew realize this isn't a diet but a way of life we will do fine. Adding excercise helps us in so many ways physically, mentally and just makes you feel good
  5. Me too had a revision. May 2. And doing great
  6. For me although I was tempted by what other surgeons said I followed my surgeons to a t I wanted to feel confident when I was under. I started weight watchers to learn how to journal and what three ounces looks like, I picked up my working out in fact did a two mile power walk morning of my surgery. I took my protein to my last nut appt to make sure it was good stuff it wasn't easy with a 21 month old but its doable and I think that's why I'm having a great recovery. Exception gas but I knew going in that revision was higher for that. I have no gas either. So what helped you in case others are reading
  7. Its a clean protein no sugar and has several flavors. Im looking for someone who has tried Jay robb protein and let me know how it is. Thanks
  8. And support means not just to say its ok cheat start again tomorrow. Pre op and po directions are there so we will nit have complications and succeed it does no help for people looking for info or support to read about cheating prior to surgery knowing full well that its dangerous. Support is helping each other make it not help them make excuses this is a lifestyle change period. You don't support people taking chances before they are healed or go under the knife now I am not being sarcastic I have right to how I understand it
  9. You can't compare you have to follow what YOUR surgeon says. I assume you want to be a success its nothing personal try being objective if anyone doesn't follow what their surgeon says are they really ready for this lifestyle change cheating before surgery is not an option
  10. My only issue has been been nausea and the nurses were in it as soon as I woke up. Pain is low been walking around. Dic keeping mevin hospital till Monday. I believe ive done well followed doctor's diet etc. Bo cheating wanted itvti gi smooth. I also walked 2 miles before surgery nurse's cant believe how well im doing do yourself a favor don't cheat journal your food like on sparkpeopke. Which is like weight watchers for free remember smoking prior during or after will cause issues with your sleeve nothing tastes as good as thin feels
  11. If someone cant follow instructions for 2 weeks how can they possibly work the sleeve. No doctor will ever tell you smoking is good for you especially prior to and healing with the sleeve
  12. Now what have done you mat have jeopardized your surgery. If you can't follow two weeks how do you expect to use the sleeve
  13. You surgeon can only givebyounthe tools to be a success. Yet I've read on here people still trying to cheat or do a easy way out If your not prepared to change for good why waste the time or money A surgeon gives rules to follow. People need to stop wondering about other surgeons and follow the your paying for If you smoker you have no business gettingbthevsleeve. The doctor tells you his for a reason. If you can't stick to a two week pre op diet how do you expect to becacsuccess withbthevsleeve I wish everyone great success. And a healthy journey. Remember nothing taste as good as thin feels
  14. A liittle not badin gas pain is minimal eating slow will go home tomorrow I walking all around this hospital
  15. I'm post op three. Still in hospital nausea. But feel good
  16. If cannot follow the rules especially this early out. Then don't get the sleeve this is a serious decision not to be taken lightly if you still feel you going to sneak here and there. Why bother. It's the muscle between your ears you truly have to work after wls. Youncan lie on a journal you can't lie to your body
  17. Sleeve is your second chance at life. I don't understand anyone goinbthru this major surgery and still trying to cheat. With foods or cigarettes either you do or you don't. If you plan a half ass attempt why bother. I've read here people skippy stages not following advice from surgeons. I just shake my head. I believe it's these people up with complications and don't succeed. If your not truly ready to chance fontbitbit won't work for you and you will end up with more damage
