  7. Try diet v8 splash w1 scoop of plain or vanilla protein in a 16-20oz mixer bottle they taste great, I put it in empty bottle & take to work also.
  8. Whole wheat or 100 % whole grain pasta but eat no more than dr recommends.
  9. I'm also in Tennessee in Rutherford county (murfreesboro) where are you located?
  10. Diana I'm 10 months post op & 1lb from Dr goal, just remember fluids 64oz per day & 60-80grams of protein per day for life easily done after healed up in many different ways. Fluid intake counts w/protein shakes as fluid& protein together , keep as log/journal of daily fluid & food intake,even now I still get off track a bit but return to fluids for a few days & continue onward.
  11. If you continue us smoking post op your body will take twice as long to heal /start losing the lbs.. what's more Important???

  13. No more drinking w/straws ever ,you get gassy & can stretch the sleeve out from extra air ingested.

    There will always be a mortgage or bill of some sort .some ppl only have one chance @ having children. Think about what happens if you are never again able to concieve again? You could regret terminating a pregnacy, children are the greatest we are given they are a big blessing. Please don't make any rash/sudden decisions yet. Think very hard &I pray you keep the baby ... praying for you.
