  1. I am a month out and on soft foods any suggestions? I am going to to a movie after so I won't be taking leftovers. Would flat bread be ok? I'm thinking that will easy to share.
  2. I agree with all the above but if I am sharing off my husband I do tip extra:)
  3. How far post op are you? I am 2 weeks and going through the same thing.my doc Had me cut out Dairy to rule out Lactose intolerance. It's only been a day since I've done that. He also said to take a probiotic.
  4. Yea no weights for 6 weeks just cardio.
  5. I am 2 weeks post op and feel up to going to the gym. The doc also cleared it. How much Should I start with? I've been walking 30 min a day. Quite frankly I feel like I can take on the world what did everyone else start with? Can I do a class?
  6. What is odd is that I only get cold at night. I live in fl so it's not like night time is -6 degrees. At 739 every night I start freezing!
  7. Was it all healthy eating or working out too?
  8. I think I get a prescription on Thursday. I have to choose between daily spray or bill or a monthly shot. I wonder what is better.
  9. I am ten days post op. I can't seem to do more than 2 1/2 hours of straight activity without going down for a long nap. This then throws off my bedtime. When will I have more energy?
  10. My worst pain was dry heaving after surgery. Now it's just the one incision where he pulled my stomach out.
  11. I am at 90 for protein and 10oz away from 65 ounces of water. I was worried bc I do t really feel full exactly. I'm happy to hear others have hit the goals though.
  12. I am 3 days post op and managed to get in 90 grams I Protein today. I started at 5am and got in half a premade shake which I finished at lunch. In between I had 8oz of milk. I then had some
  13. I start my preop diet I a few days. I have started drinking shakes to get used to it. I loved making smoothies. Some fruit, a few scoops of Protein powder and it was great. For preop though, I need to drink that powder or pre made stuff. I find it nauseatingly sweet... Which is weird since there are only 5 grams of sugar. They aren't horrible but I just shudder at the though of their chemical sweetness. Any advice on how to make then taste better? I also get three servings of milk or yogurt a day. Not sure if mixing them would make it better.
  14. Any favorites? I did the metabolic cookies and cream shake and it was ok. It is kinda fake sweet tasting though.
  15. I'm with you:( I just posted my own rant.
  16. Ok I am so tired of telling people about the surgery and having them respond with " why - you don't need that" or "isn't that drastic ?" Or my new fav " I am going to change your mind" I've responded with all the fact, that I am eligible blah blah blah and they keep proceeding with comments. Luckily I have good support but its getting to he point where I don't even want to talk about it. I guess I need to stop telling people that I am doing it.
  17. I am scheduled for 1 week liquid protein 4 times a day, 1 cup of veggies and 2 servings of milk or yogurt.
  18. I know that babies have their own schedule I guess I am thinking worse case scenario it happens around the two week window.
  19. So I was asked to be a labor coach with a due date in late October. Would I be ok to do this 2 weeks after surgery? I said I would be unable to if it fell in the 2 weeks after. Anyone have experience with this (nurses etc)
  20. I am now in the freak out stage. I've started to pay attention to my body ad hunger as I await surgery. I find that part of my issue is I will eat when not hungry. I'm not full... I just don't need to eat at that moment. So why would this change after surgery? Is that where to tool part kicks in? Maybe I researched rny so much that now I'm afraid the sleeve won't have any affect On my eating habits. I'm hoping that these thoughts are extremely silly.
  21. Thanksgiving cruise to Mexico, Belize and other places I'm blanking on
