  1. Thanks for sharing these links with us....free is always good... i have bought sooo many different protein shakes and have not liked them...so this will help with saving money thats for sure
  2. If your not eating enough...drink the shakes...60-80 grams a day of protein...to help prevent hair loss and muscle loss
  3. How exciting to hear this! I have pcos and I DO NOT ovulate on my own at all...we couldnt afford fertility treatments...hopefully I will be able to concieve on my own because of the sleeve...I am taking my Vitamins everyday I dont want any deficiencies...We are using condoms...no IUD or pills right now...
  4. wow! I really wanna get pregnant...since being sleeved I will be having my second period since being sleeved...the past 3 days I have been having very intense ovulation pain and LOTS of cervical mucus too....The hubby and i are using condoms...I hope to lose another 30-40 lbs before we try to get preggo...I was gonna wait till december to try to get pregnant...Im 38 years old....no kids....
  5. Thats one of the reason I def had surgery! I hope to be a mom one day! I have no children as of yet.... Wishing you all the best ...wishing you a happy and healthy pregnancy!
  6. So maybe I am not is 'real' ketosis right ...I did notice when I was in pre op my breathe was really bad...like that ketosis breath smell...I don't have that anymore though.....So in order to go into 'real' ketosis I must have only Protein in my diet right? Thanks everybody for sharing your p.o.v this is great!
  7. I had tried Lactaid and I was really sick and cottage cheese too...made me feel awful... Somehow greek yogurt and string cheese is okay with my lil tummy.... Im gonna try the Fage... Turkey jerky--is it any good??
  8. During pre-op I drank Premier Protein shakes and NOW I am sick of them! The smell of them gross me out! I am on the pureed stage of food...ive been eating tuna fish, eggs, greek yogurt, Beans, string cheese, chicken breast, broccoli (steamed) I also feel super tired and wasted when I eat only protein all day...when I have more complex carbs I feel better... Cottage cheese and milk make me feel sick... I'd rather eat 'real' food than fill up on shakes...but I definitely cannot eat 90 grams of 'real' food a day...I stay full for at least 3-4 hours..plus drinking my fluids is a full time job too... I would love some ideas as to how to incorporate more protein with my real food meals... I guess Protein Shakes are gonna be a must-do for huh?? Thoughts/advice?
  9. Lactaid milk or any milk gives me the shits! lol So I drink almond milk... sleeved 6/26/13
  10. Wow this is great to hear!! I was just sleeved 6/26/13 I cannot wait to finally get a my HB A1c done and seeing wonderful numbers too! Pre surgery i was a 9.2...when I first diagnosed many years ago I was at 14.1( brought it down with diet and exercise) So now that I am sleeved i will have even better numbers! My usual numbers now in the am are 110 and they will continue to improve. I ONLY take metformin 2x aday now. No more insuling shots or glipizide pills...things are looking up! Yay! im so happy that we are all improving more and more each day!
  11. I wonder if its too late for me to try to get the sale/special? What do you guys think?
  12. Wow you are doing so good!! Way to go girl! I am almost 3 weeks post op right now! My morning sugars are in the 112 range right now! I had my first lowest sugar ever at 73 range--and I felt good! I didn't feel weak or headche-y. I was on insulin and glipizide pills NOT anymore. I only take metformin 1000 mg 2x a day!
  13. Have a great time! I've been wanting to go too!! Im almost 3 weeks post op as well!
  14. I prefer homemade foods than canned....girl whip up a batch and enjoy homemade food!
  15. All my incisions are healing up pretty good except one on my left side...it's probably 6 inches to the left of my belly button...its still not completely closed yet( probably size of a pinto bean)....I clean it with peroxide and neosporin and its healing...but not closed My hubby is still "nervous" to have sex with me LOL...I guess we can be kinda "wild" with our movements...LOL again... You know how it is...once you get started there's NO stopping! ahahaha! SO how long did you wait? Or maybe you didn't wait? --------Discuss---------------
  16. Hey girl...you look fantastic!! So glad to see how well your doing... You pave the way for gals like me who just got sleeved few weeks ago...I keep feeling fear of failure....like my weight wont come off...but hey..it wil take time to learn what I can tolerate with my new lil tummy! Thanks for sharing girl!

  18. these products? I keep hearing about them on these forums and they seem to be what people are enjoying right now. Im having trouble getting '70' grams of Protein a day...Premier Protein shakes make me feel like I am in "protein shock" for some reason. I get a headache and nauseous from those shakes. Which website should I go to and I would like to try some sample packs as well... Im not sure what flavors are good tasting either... I would love some feedback... have a great day
  19. Omg! This is such a blessing! I wish you a happy and healthy 9 months ! I was just sleeved 6/26/13 and I hope and pray I can lose enough weight to JumpStart my fertility! Im happy for you, girl! Thanks for sharing your story...I've story....it helps me keep an eye on the future ahead of me! Take care
  20. Premier protein is also found at Costco and Sams club
  21. 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!
  22. 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?
  23. 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!
