  1. I've been experiencing this also for about 3-4 weeks. It's unnerving!!!! I wonder what it could be
  2. Hey bigmama! I'm almost 5weeks post op. I remember being terrified that I wouldn't see my babies for the two day hospital stay. That was harder for me than the actual surgery. The best advise I can give you is make sure you can get as much done before surgery. Laundry. Grocery shopping, clean house, etc. have a support group. My sister helped me the first two weeks. Then I was fine to fall back into a normal routine. You'll be fine!
  3. If you're looking for something convenient and organic, Ella's Kitchen is amazing. It's in a pouch so it's perfect for tossing in your purse for a busy day.
  4. Lemon is fine. I add lemon and cucumber to my iced water. The taste is amazing in the heat

    Oh that sucks! That's what I had for lunch. Unfortunately I haven't experienced much that my yummy doesn't like
  6. Thank you so much! Yes, I was training with him all the way up to the Thursday before my surgery on Tuesday 6-4. I started last week. I obviously can't go as hard as I did preop because of my low calorie intake but its definitely a workout
  7. And I hit a stall BUT when I was looking at pictures on my phone I noticed what a huge different a month makes! I'm so excited to see what the rest of this year brings! Kicked but with my trainer today I'm feeling great!
  8. That's amazing! In 8 weeks you'll be able to make a matching clutch out of the leftover fabric

    Ninja works great. Thank goodness I was able to save the money and use my baby brezza! I love it! It steams and blends on its own.

    Have you tried the ricotta bake? My favorite seems to be cottage cheese with a tiny bit of applesauce. Or Beans with a tiny bit of sour cream. Avocado with a tad of lemon? I love egg whites and cheese.
  12. While I was playing with my baby's baby food maker it dawned on me I check the website. I remembered they have TONS of recipes that I can enjoy also. Try some! Hope this helps http://www.babybrezza.com/Recipe_pg.php?thisitem=14
  13. That's great! I tried going back to my trainer on Monday and almost passed out. Didn't realize how fat I would burn up the little bit of calories I take in. Baby steps
  14. I'm glad your home and well! Congrats!!!
  15. I had dr Ali too! I was just sleeve 3 weeks ago. How are you doing?
  16. Ohhhhhh I get it! It all makes sense now! Thank you
  17. Holy crap! I try and aim for 800 including protein shakes. Maybe I'm eating way too much!
  18. You look awesome! Congrats! Now, would someone please yell me what "NSV" is without laughing at me :/
  19. I went back to my personal trainer on Monday. I almost fainted. I didn't realize how weak I've become till then. I had been feeling great. Now I'll slow down and try again this week.
  20. One of my favs I the ricotta bake. I also am a sucker for chili and a bit of sour cream. When I have a sweet tooth I do a little bit of cottage cheese with applesauce
  21. I've just begun my puréed stage. I was wondering from all of you with experience, how many calories were you taking in at this stage? I plan on calling my nutritionist tomorrow. I'd just like to ask all you pro's too Thanks everyone!
  22. I'm stalled at three weeks also. It seems pretty standard with everyone so far. So long as we keep to our plans I'm positive we will all be moving along again. Hell, I've never lost 22 lbs so quick in my life so I'll be patient...... Kinda
