  1. Thats great!!! Kudo's to you. Enjoy a new slice of life
  2. How are all the old gals doing? I am 15 days post op. doing ok. So have stopped drinking protein shakes, cant tolerate them anymore. Going to walmart to get some of the adkin shakes like them better. Hope yall are doing ok
  3. Has anyone tried this protein mix? I saw that the person known as egg face swears by it. So was wondering if anyone had tasted it
  4. Nope I didn't get that just very uncomfortable feeling and a little bloated. After 45 mins and belching all better
  5. I spent 20 years mostly in Meridian and the last 3 yrs in Hattiesburg.
  6. I think I got my first ping of dumping. I was having SF pudding with SF cool whip think I had to much. Didn't throw up yet but have the uncomfortable feeling in my chest. And a little bit of sour burning in my esophagus. Not to pleasant. Guess I should lay off the cool whip.
  7. There are soups i have tried in the past that just aren't good. Its something about the broth. I dont like the progresso soups i tried so many of them the broth is just tasty to me. Some of campbells aren't good either like the healthy request or the selects. Yuck i just cant get it down the smell alone is horrid to me. But enough of that lol here is to cambells chicken noodle and had no problem with it. No dumping yet. Yay!!
  8. I had Campbell's chicken noodle. Of course it has hardly any chicken in it. Only ate a 1/4 of it and had no problem. Yes i did have a few noodles in it chewed it all very well. It was mostly the broth. Was good
  9. Make sure when you get the hysterectomy they take everything or in a few years they will do it again. And take the rest that's how they make the money
  10. I know they say you don't have enough fluid if your pee s darkish yellow. Mine is either a clear or pale. Hope dr oz is right lol
  11. I ordered a really nice bracelet from here. doesnt look like a typical medical ID but does have medical emblem on it I am having it engraved with Diabetes 2 gastric bypass RNY No NG No Nsaids No codeine was a decent price
  12. no i havent gotten the B12 yet, think they start my shots 6 months out, i ran out of the one that i put under my tongue to dissolve. I do take high blood pressure med, but i started splitting the 20 mg to a 10 mg before surgery. was waiting till my post op appt before getting off of the pills, Next week I go so maybe I will be ok by then or not, and then he sees it.
  13. Kinda wonder if its my blood sugar running to low is why I am weak? I do take my metformin, I checked it a few mins and it was 115. Maybe I can eliminate carbs completely. altho I am drinking a Glucera has 15 grams of protein but 16 carbs and 6 sugars, only had 4 small sips, my tummy is not reacting well to it. but it was a thought
  14. Oh wow!! I cant even imagine what that could be, I sure hope they find something soon.
  15. i had to eat something, hate feeling weak, so i had a Smart one entree, salisbury steak with mixed veggies, i chewed the green beans and a few carrotts up real well, ate about 7 small bites of the salisbury steak. gave all the rest to my dog. it was good, Doc will be pissed but what I know is when i had a full complete hysterectomy and was cut from breast bone to pube line I did not feel this weak. it didnt bother me to get up and walk around, I didnt feel like when I get in the shower I will pass out. but I do since this surgery. I am afraid to leave the house because I feel weak, I take all my meds and vitamins. I drink my water and powerade zero. I am having a hard time with the protein shakes, I am going to have to get a different way to get them in. different brand then unjury, Luckily i havent been sick or any dumping which I am so glad about. We all have our problems with this surgery, seems mine is being weak and fatigued. while I sit and lay down I feel good, i dont feel shaky, but when I get up to move around, not so good. Any suggestions?
  16. I have been trying to get all the protein in. I drink alot of fluid. But my legs feel tired. I may not get 60 grams of protein and not walk as much as i should. I feel good. And 12 days post op. but if i am up on my feet for too long i start to feel fatiqued. What is up?
  17. I don't recommend the 1 crouton lol didn't go well got a little ache of uncomfortablness
  18. I ate a 1 crouton whole wheat was so good to crunch something
  19. after you had surgery, 2 to 4 weeks out do you think you had to pee? I am 11 days post op and pee maybe 4 times a day now where I peed alot before surgery,
  20. I go to pinterest all you see is pictures how can you get the recipes from those pics?
  21. I have been a 50 DD for many years . Was always top heavy even when I was 124 lbs in my 20s. I would normally go for the 4 X before surgery and hoping I lose alot of my top half. So maybe I should order a 2 X I don't know
  22. Gen You said you had gotten those genie bra , do you like them and do they support well for big breast?
