Sorry ur feeling so bad, I'm 7 days post op and I feel 100%. Get well, keep walking and sipping!

Para guard IUD. No added weight gain or hormones, love it! Hate depo and pills and this works for me

Wonderfully said Joyce . Hope ur doing well and getting ready for ur big day!

Califlower also makes a good "rice or pasta" substitute.... Take the florets (5 lg ones or 7-8 small ones) and grate them til u get little "rice pellets" , i stop at the stems, then nook them in the microwave with salt , pepper, a touch of olive oil and garlic powder, and 3 tbs water. nook for 2 minutes, mix well and nook again 2-3 min until tender, really yummy and u Can make it taste like anything u would like.

I've been sleeved one week tomorrow by dr. Alvarez, never had a negative experience and he himself always replies to my emails and messages, as well as Susan, his coordinator who is also an LVN. The best experience and I woke up questioning my mom of he did the sleeve yet or not because I was in no pain at all! Great experience and I as well went with my gut not because of price.

That's an awesome accomplishment Suzi, I wish I can walk to work but I'm 45 miles one way lol. Keep up the great work, we will get there !

The thing is I'm only on clear liquids and there aren't much calories in those items...

I'm six days out too and it is reflux, I hiccup and burp like never before then once I take my reflux meds I'm all better ;(. Atleast for a little bit.

Ok so surgery was Saturday the 7th and I'm on clears until Sunday and full liquids for two weeks, then mushies, I really am tired of the sweet stuff (type one diabetic) and I just wanna chew something! I need some advice because it's driving me insane !

I eat hard candy for when my blood sugar drops, I dunno what else could be ok ;( I'm torn!!

I just want something .... It's the worst feeling hun ;(

I'm staying strong ! Just had to let that out

So I'm trying to substitute all my favorite foods into my new sleevers life and I just came up with this one : Ingredients: 1/4 califlower head boiled until soft 1 tsp sour cream 1/2 tsp butter 2 tbs FF shredded cheddar 1-2 pc turkey bacon cooked in pan until brown and crispy Dash of salt and pepper to taste One large wonton wrapper (shell) 1 tbs green onions After boiling the califlower chop it finely into tiny chunks and set in bowl Mix all the ingredients above into the califlower and set aside Take ur wonton wrapper and put it into a muffin tin and make it into a bowl, spray w butter flavored spray, bake in the oven at 325 for 5-7 min until lightly brown, then fill with mixture and let it lightly brown for 2-3 min then serve. Enjoy, Susie

I want some Greek olives and feta cheese with sliced cucumber ..... That's just the Arab coming out of me

I was sleeved July 7!

Anytime, let me know how it tastes..

Yum cheese fries! How about we make zucchini cheese fries ?!? I'm making up my new recipes for things I love an this is one of em!

I am 5 days post op and was crying an hour ago feeling the same way. I always ran to food whether happy or sad or bored , whatever the reason. I'm on week 3 of clears and feel like I'm going to crack. I'm staying strong but it's really affecting me and not many people understand. We can do this together, it's temporary and we have to keep our minds busy. My doctor (dr. Alvarez) was so pleased w my lab results and he told me I did so great in my preop that's y surgery was easy. I keep thinking if that as my motivation and ur helps.

I wanna make sure I'm ok, had surgery Saturday, went from 249 to 241 on mi liquid diet and now the scale isn't moving, I know about the stalls and how things take time, I'm getting in all my fluids and then some, I just want to make sure I'm ok and the weight loss will come with time . Just some reassurance would be great!!!
