Thanks for sharing your story...I've story....it helps me keep an eye on the future ahead of me! Take care

Premier protein is also found at Costco and Sams club

This is great to hear! I was just sleeved 6/26/13 and I hope to God my fertility comes back...the hubby and I been trying for so many years! I hope to one day be a mother!

I was thinking of buying the syntrax nectar at vitamin shoppe..which flavor is your go-to flavor? I wonder if they have sample packets to try out?

doing pretty good! My tummy still hurts when I walk though. My incisions are get pulled on by my belly and its painful but I just push through it. I am taking showers and washing my hair too! I am getting all my fluids in and about grams of Protein in too! I have been enjoying SF popsicles and they are delicious! Today I get to have yogurt and creamy Soups based on my post op diet the doc gave me. My energy level is okay. Im kinda weak and my though process is still kinda slow to react. lol My new lil tummy is making a lot of gurgling sounds wondering what happened! lol I am taking anti-gas pills and anti-acid pills to to control the acid reflux. Overall, I am doing well and each day it is getting easier to get around and do stuff.

I am struggling to get my food intake in right now. I can eat 1/2 cup of Beans with cheese or a 3/4 of a greek yogurt or 1/2 cup of tuna salad but thats about it. Im not sure what else to add to my "menu". I am drinking about 60 oz a day of fluids....What other things have you tried that you enjoyed..it sure can bet boring....lol My tummy did NOT like cottage cheese at all or the applesauce...boo!

My Dr. just gave me the green light yesterday for the pureed stage of food. Im really nervous about this stage. I have eat egg drop soup and yogurt just fine with no problems. I had a scrambled egg this morning and I could only eat half of it. I did get full from the scrambled egg. I guess since diabetics have to watch their carb intake more closely, I thought I would ask you guys. I have my mini food processor ready for me to get to pureeing up some good stuff! What did you make during your pureed stage of eating? Thanks guys

you have great ideas, girl!

Soups have pasta in them! Well most soups....

My A1c prior to my sleeve was 9.2 and during surgery my sugar was 243 and as of today my A1c (one week post op) is 8.0 I am healing fine and walking around like normal today. My staples were removed and my incisions are closed up and looking healthy! I have lost 11 pounds since my surgery last week! My sugars have been between 123-148 since my surgery last week! I'd say I'm doing pretty good! Before surgery my sugars were easily in the 250's on a daily basis. I feel like a new person and waaaay less moody too! lol

try the pureed foodstuffs. Im nervous about getting nauseous and vomiting it up! I had a scrambled egg this morning and could only eat half of it because I was full. I have eaten yogurt and egg drop Soup just fine. I would love some ideas on where to start with this pureed diet situation? Btw, can we have string cheese??

sounds great!

the green light from the doctor today on my one week follow up! Boy am I excited too! lol I love some ideas and recipes from you guys too! Im bored of Protein shakes and liquids as well... Thanks you guys!

I am 6 days post op as we speak...and I noticed this morning as I was taking a shower that my lady bits were ALOT smaller than two weeks ago!! ahaha! Everythang is shrinking! ahaha! DId you noticed any changes like that on your body?? lol

During our sleeve surgery? Is the anesthesia given to us through our IV line or is the anesthesia given through a face mask? I keep worrying about this a lot! Thoughts feedback?

You are doing this for YOU not HIM!!! He is being insecure! Go get healthy girl! Change your life! You will not regret it! I am happy I made the change! As of today 6 days post op I fit into a 2x shirt!! Havent worn a 2x shirt in over 6 years! Do what you gotta do to get yourself healthy again and start your new life! Love yourself enough!

Lookin' great girl! Way to go!

I left the hospital with acid reflux prescription and I am starting to feel it in my chest. Is the acid reflux due to the excision of the stomach? Or is it hormonal changes ocurring inside the digestive tract causing all the stomach acid to come up. I also believe its related to being hungry. Our stomach are used to getting food/nutrition all the time. Then after surgery we just give our digestive system fluids/broth/protein shakes and our tummy is NOT having it! lol Like a temper tantrum! I dont know just a thought! What causes the acid reflux?

the stress of pre op diet and the surgery is totally delaying my mensturation! I feel crappy! Did any of you ladies have issues with your period after getting sleeved?? Thoughts?

Ive heard that it will stretch your sleeve and it will not allow you to get your nutrition FIRST...just eat then wait 30 mins for your beverage! Im having a hard time not drinking and eating too...its a habit we must change. Im still working at it...Im post op 5 days

we will use condoms and spermicide for bc I dont want IUD right now though... Thanks ladies for chatting it up with me on this topic! Lots of good stuff !! ehehehehe!

ever since the pre op diet and the first days post op I have become sickened/disgusted with the premier Protein shakes from Sams club costco and I just cant stand it and have a horrible aversion to them! I would love some advice as to what to do! I am drinking Isopure drinks from Vitamin shoppe 20 oz with 40 grams of protein its kinda like a gatorade with lots of protein in it. I think the milky ness and Vitamins in the Protein Drink are making me feel grossed out! So what is working for you!? Advice, thoughts?

Any sperm even during intercourse will get ya pregnant! I've been infertile for 10 years! No kids! I dont want IUD either! I do want kids! I hope this sleeve gives me a chance to do that!

I better tell my hubby to put on a condom just like in high school cuz this mamma does NOT wanna get preggo right now! lol ahaha!
