Ahhhh...hope!! Thanks for sharing.

How far out are you? I'm also sleeved on 4/23 and you gave some helpful info but right now I haven't been cleared for lettuce but can't wait to wrap everything in lettuce instead of wraps or bread. Great idea. That's going to be extremely helpful and still yummy.

When u can tie your own shoe by bending over instead of looking for a high spot to lift your leg.

Yup I had both the sleeve and hernia repair. I had my drain in for 2weeks but it should have only had it for 1 week. U don't want it!!!

Thanks so much you do as well. Great job!!

Ohhhh how I want the chocolate! They're sold out every time...Smh. I wonder if that one's just cheaper or my Wal-Mart jacked up the price! Hmmm...

I'm not sure if that's the case but I could never drink the whole shake in one sitting. One serving is 30 grams which is one scoop in 6 oz of Water but I drink double that for the entire day. I do have to stop myself and save some for later most times just cuz I wanna space it out...but good too in case that is the case...lol.

Nope, not grainy at all. Its perfectly smooth. Taste like a melting vanilla shake. Definitely try it. I remember that stage, congrats to u!! Just remember one thing on day 2 and 3, after the first month it won't be so bad, soon u will love your decision again!!! Lol

My highest 290 lbs [ATTACH]44912[/ATTACH] Before surgery 277 lbs [ATTACH]44913[/ATTACH] About 3 wks out 27 lbs down at 250 [ATTACH]44914[/ATTACH] Currently at 5 weeks out at 245 but no updated pic yet... [ATTACH]44915[/ATTACH]

Yup....Wal-Mart for about $20. I literally ready every review and the only 2 negative were because they don't like the flavor. But I love the flavor and even the smell of it!! Already finished 6oz another 6 by the end of the day and I'm goin to feel great!

Same surgery date and been stalled about 2 weeks since the 3rd week and now goin into my 5th week, I started meeting my Protein and today, another 2 lbs down. Good luck to u..

I was having a hard time gettin in my Protein because I'm one of the people that liked my previous shake before surgery and after, couldn't drink it without gagging. I began to research and found a Protein Isolate shake "purest premium protein" it taste great and the price was just as acceptable. The flavor is vanilla Creme and mixes into Water best. If u like vanilla shakes, u will love this stuff... A seller for me was I hated having 3 shakes a day to get 60 grams of protein. Now I make one shake with 12 oz of water and 2 scoops and I'm set for the day. I can freeze it and eat it with a spoon or because Its 98% lactose free I can even leave it sitting out and it doesn't sour. I can take all day with my 1 shake and meet my minimum goal....I love it!! Try it.... [ATTACH]44886[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]44887[/ATTACH]

The scars will minimize greatly over time. I'm only one month out and u can barely see my scars except where the drain was removed and even that has changed but its not gone yet. My doc recommends Maderma I believe he said..not sure of the spelling.

Wish I saw this before I purchased the 5000mcg. I think my daughter may have the higher dosage. Imma check..thanks.

Just got mine this week and gave my mom the free one for her new place. Looking forward to using it. Please let me know if u find any interesting recipes. Thanks.

I can relate!

Hey AA fam, just checking in. Now 4 and 1/2 weeks out. No longer having any pain at all. Went back to work on week 3 which was a week after My drain was removed. Lost 30 lbs since surgery and it finally feels good to move again....I hate bed rest! Lost some of the fullness in my boobs but still in a larger cup and lost some extra roundness in the butt but I'm faithful to my new nickname "squat monster" so I expect to still be plump in all the right places. Now my final worry, maybe one of u sistas can help me with, with our hair, do we thin more or have bald spots? Any experiences yet? My girlfriend said her hair grew more... I just need the trinity in tact, boobs, butt and hair...lol!! I do have the Biotin pills already...

My goodness, I hear u, I've been on a stall for about a week now too. I lost 30 so far so I'm not rushing, as long as it happens. The only thing that's weird is I never ate while I was out now I'm constantly trying to eat. Its just weird..

Lost 30 since 4/23

I'm hoping it is just a stall, I can handle that...I was really messing up but I'm being good now. I Learned my lesson quick, this is not a game!! I learn more every day, Im learning to respect the sleeve! Lol

Ok, I'm not being irrational...I'm worried. I was one of the dummies for lack of a better term that tried to eat a chicken nugget when I had no other food to eat and that was at 2 weeks out. I was also the one that would try to force Protein so that I don't get sick from the lack of and so that I wouldn't loose my hair so easily. I am also the one that got a hernia repair and sleeve at the same time, then had a horrible coughing spell 2 nights in a row that put me in major pain. I'm the one that thought I could just get my fill of protein with food and blah to the shakes....smh, boy was I wrong!!! I was also the one that had a JP Drain for 2 weeks when it should have been removed in 1 week. The drainage colors changed from the normal blood and straw yellow color to a green then brown color in the 2nd week. Basically, I did many things wrong, I don't need you to tell me that. I've told my doctor almost everything but I want to call and ask for him to look at the sleeve and make sure I haven't blocked it or ruptured it because I feel heavy all over again. Like I really messed something up... Also, when I told him what i was drinking since the Water wasn't easy to go in....he said STOP THAT, those drinks have too much sugar. I wonder if it's sticking to me already. I've stopped as instructed. Anyone know how sensitive the sleeve is? It's even sensitive to the touch. Is it a normal stall and I'm just being overly worried? I'm 1 month out, please help if you can either relate or if you're more than 2 months out. Thanks

Nice!
