  1. Have you tried decaf coffee? The warm drink in the morning is supposed to help.
  2. Has anyone had a revision from sleeve to rny? How long was the procedure? How has the process been so far? I didn't see a board for this, just from band to rny. TIA!
  3. What are you drinking instead? Can you do water enhancers like mio?
  4. I'm type 1 and in a pump. I had my surgery in jan. They likely have you steroids which causes high blood sugar. Be sure you are keeping close contact with your endo. It gets better.
  5. Chapstick and wear comfy pants/pjs. I had brought my tablet but my phone was sufficient. I think a lot I people overpack. You'll be sleepy and when you aren't cat napping you'll likely be walking the halls. I'd also take Your deodorant and tooth brush.
  6. This is weird but my nose will run. I also try to eat slow and let the food settle before I put too much in there and feel miserable.
  7. I had surgery in jan and by February's end I was off all meds. Was on lexapro and Ativan. PTSD and generalized anxiety. I feel great and a lot more stable.
  8. I went thru true results and dr adam smith did my surgery. I love his staff. They don't judge even if you are in there getting fluids or a vitamin dose BC you can't do it yourself. <3
  9. Black cherry was really bad but the raspberry was ok in water.
  10. It'll take more than a week for you to see much improvement in your a1c. Are you keeping a log of your blood sugars? Eating good is only part of the battle. I've had diabetes since I was 9. (Type 1)
  11. Keller here. Sleeved 1/19.
  12. My sleeve hates bread, vitamin water, peanut butter, cottage cheese for dinner, raw onions, I'm sure there's more. Still relearning it's likes. I was able to have romaine with cheese that went down ok.
  13. I'm down 30lbs, and that includes pre-op. =)

  23. Hey all! Does anyone have a set drinking/eating schedule they follow? Trying to space out my Protein shakes or Snacks (or mini meals) so that there isn't too much time that lapses in-between! Thanks in advance!
