I use Chike banana and strawberry protien shake mix. I found it to be one of the few I could tolerate, especially the banana. I believe you can order the sample pack from their website chikenutrition.com. I also add PB2 to my shakes to add a touch of penut butter flavor and extra protien. http://www.gnc.com/PB2-Powdered-Peanut-Butter/product.jsp?productId=15329556. They also have a PB2 with chocolate added. Hope this helps. Good luck.

Well, this topic was dead for a while. Down 130#, though I do fluctuate a little bit now. Eating well, and exercising often. Though I do have a addiction for Peanut Butter cups. Things could not be better

I miss having a coke or a piece of candy every so often. Also, not drinking while eating drives me sometimes. Especially when I am downing some spicy Thai food. LOL

Yes, call you Dr., get an ultrasound aned get the thing out before you get a bad attack. I had the exact same symptons as you and had to have mine removed. Surgery was a breeze for me. Hopefully it will be as easy for you if required. My only side effect is that I am a bit more gassy and have gotten some relfux since the surgery. Good Luck

I have read/heard that after a year or two it is not abnormal for people to gain a small percentage of the weight back. However, I think if you lose your focus and return to the "old ways", you will of course gain back more than most.

I lost 15# in the two weeks after my surgery. Then I stalled. Well now I have lost another 30# in the last month. Everyone is different. Follow the program and it will eventually fall off.

. That's what my mom told me "she sounds like nut" haha. Thank you.

I drink Powerade zero, Vitamin Water zero and propel zero. I think your Nut is a nut! Find something you like and get your fluids.

Hi
One more thing....
Some days I'm completely fine and don't mind my family eating anything and everything around me (and trust me they eat) but other days for many different reasons I can't handle it. And when I'm feeling that way I just let them know how I'm feeling.
And excuse myself until they are done.
This may not work for everyone. But sometimes I just don't feel like watching everyone eat pie so I don't

Five weeks out and my first throwing up incident. I ate the tiniest piece of turkey skin and apparently my sleeve did not care for it. Live and learn (and hopefully never make that mistake again!!).

I have lost 31 pounds in the past five weeks!

I agree with you pjackson. I was craving a choc chip cookie yesterday and I had one. It was delicious and I'm glad I ate it. I didn't die and I am fine this morning. Like my husband said "for your sanity, you should eat the cookie". Cindy

Okay, I see all these posts where people freak out because they ate something they shouldn't have. Yes, we are supposed to eat ALOT of Protein, which I do. And, we're supposed to drink lots of Water, which I try to do, we're not supposed to drink out of a straw, which I do, I haven't died or had any more pain than not, we're not supposed to eat bread, which I have a couple of times, it hasn't made me sick, if I have a craving for a cookie, I eat it. The bottom line is even if you slip and eat a little of something you're not supposed to , it's not going to ruin your life or end your results. The truth is you will never be able to sit and eat a whole bag of doritoes or a whole package of oreos again. You're stomach will not allow it. So don't freak out because you "slipped" a little, just realize you're human and you're losing weight no matter what.
Now for all you haters out there go ahead and blow me out of the Water with your drama, I know it's coming. ........lol

Hello everyone! I was sleeved on Dec. 5th. Surgery went well though I did have more gas and cramping than most after my surgery. I am at home now, on my liquid diet, and doing quite well. Getting food cravings from time to time, but I have been able to handle them so far. Really ready to move onto soft food for just a little bit more flavor on the pallet. Good luck to everyone and I will check in as I progress.
