Sleeve was worse than c-section with twins. More nausea and gas too.

Congratulations-you look great!

How long after surgery did you get your first massage? I would love to get one but the thought of laying on my stomach makes me nervous.

Happy New Year everyone! Semply-glad surgery went well. Gas-ex is my new best friend!! I bought 3 boxes on the cheap and kinda kicked myself for over ordering. On my 3rd box! Getting a little bored so I am looking forward to 2days of work.

I use these as well. My nut/physician recommended them. They allow me to get a large amount of Protein in a small volume and given that most Protein drinks make me gag is helpful. While I have competed in a triathlon, I don't think my metabolic needs are as high as triathlete. If you look at more research, especially bodybuilding, it is recommended. Given that I plan to use them only for a short time until I transition to a full diet, I am not too worried about the perceived poor quality. I drink the Acai berry and watermelon for Breakfast. Bottoms up!

I would love to attend a support group, Clmftw, but I am like barefeet and my schedule won't allow. I am using this forum for support and basic information. I hope everyone has a great new year. I will be ringing it in with a muscle milk light!

Semply-good luck tomorrow. You will do fabulously!! How is everyone? I overdid it yesterday. I was out for 6 hours then had a soup that didn't agree with me so I am chilling today. Two more days off then I am back to work!

I am not planning on having FF unless baked. Interested in some veterans' opinions.

Surgery 12/23 HW: 250 SW: 238 CW: 226

Barefeet-we are all going to get there at one point. Just keep working the plan! How much have you lost so far? Tamij-impressed with your selection! I would have struggled or not gone to the party!

Belly bloat is better. Had cream of chicken soup last night -yum! I took a pic of my pedi presurgery for my hubby. I have lost 12lbs. And my feet are even losing weight!!!

I took the Melatonin last night. Slept from 10-5:30. Thank goodness!

It will be here before you know it! Are you backed yet?

Thanks! Just getting my first soup. Yum!

Venturing out for the first time today. Feeling good. Only 2 issues; insomnia and belly bloat. How long did it take for you belly not to be bloated after surgery? I don't feel gassy (taking gas-ex) and had BMs so I know that is not it. I assume it is just swelling but I feel pregnant!!

I am in!

I was sleeved on 12/23 and having the same issue. I researched it last night. Some suggestions: Drink/eat small amount of protein before bed Melatonin (I normally take this as needed) Don't exercise too late Magnesium/d3 at bedtime And it takes a month or two to get your body recovered and sleeping well.

I got my magic bullet off eBay but they had them at Costco for $44. Can't wait to start using mine. I watched an infomercial early this morning.

I personally like Fage.

Wow 33lbs! That is awesome!

Wow tamij! While I think I could work, I am still tender. Still working on getting in enough protein and water. Up to 40 and 20 respectively. How is everyone else doing?

I am doing water, muscle milk light and isopure. Some days the isopure tastes better and others I like the muscle milk. Haven't taken any pain pills today. Only gas-ex.

How is everyone feeling? I finally feel human today. Spent more time vertical than horizontal. No more vomiting
