7.14.14Sleever

I am doing the C25K week 1 every day this week... I actually saw the scale move a half pound today... NOT what I wanted to break the stall... but I hope it is broke

I lost a half pound.... I will take it. But it is still FRUSTRATING!!! I will try... relax and eat... What are your carb/protein/fat/calorie limits?

I too went out for my one month.. I ordered a side order of refried beans ( Mexican restaurant) I ate a couple bites is all... The waitress kept asking me if it tasted OK.

I need help... I am getting so very frustrated... My dreaded 3 week stall has lasted 31 days. This is getting ridiculous. The scale has been playing with 2 pounds for 31 days... Did I mention I have NOT LOST WEIGHT in 31 days!!! Here is my "typical Day" Breakfast- Protein shake Drink a large Crystal light. ( I add about 28 ounces of water with one of those tiny packets) Morning snack is Yogurt Lunch is a slice of roasted turkey with some mustard, or maybe a bit of cheese. (2-3 bites) afternoon snack is another protein shake DInner is sometimes caned chicken with cheese, or some refried beans with cheese Then evening snack is my Homemade pudding pops... (Sugar free pudding with double protein powder put in popscicle molds) What am I doingwrong!!???!!!

the sweet stuff got to me too... I found UNJURY CHICKEN clear broth protein... I had it every day..

My flight home from Mexico was 1 hour flight, then a 2 hour layover then 5 hour flight... I was able to find vitamin water which was good to have. No fizzy no sugar. and I walked pretty much of the layover time. Other than feeling bloaty, and the smells of the airplane grossing me out, I did pretty good.... Just remember to walk and sip, repeat.

I hate the stall part of this.... Only down 20 pounds and NOTHING since July 19... Whats up with that!

For reflux... the only thing that helped me is Prilosec ... It comes in a capsule... I emptied the insides in my juice. The story I was told.... Your tummy is confused it is still making enough acid for the big tummy.... I took 2 a day.

Must tell you that Isopure has the nick name of ISOPUKE... jus sayin'... IT is at GNC.

Walk walk walk,,.. and make those sips tiny tiny... I could only wet my tounge and drip down for almost half day... it will get there...but every drip counts! Ask your doc about Gas X strips.

Hi and welcome! I had my sleeve on 7/14 but I am on full liquids for another week. I look forward to puree..

That is a hard one to describe... I would just say... GAS bubbles.. Painful gas bubbles.. BUT they go away pretty quickly.. Just make sure you drink/eat very very slowly and it won't be a problem.

I was told the same thing... she said, " liquids in liquids out" ... Not what I wanted to hear... I tried mixing my shakes with almond milk,..but still went through... She recommended me to go back and do more of the clear protiens. so I ordered Nectar to try... Then REASSURED... I heard this will only last till we eat purrees! THERE IS AN END IN SIGHT.

I get a cramp that comes and goes too ... (sleeved 7/14/14) seems to happen when I drink to fast. I just started full liquids, so that may be a part of it too... (liquid in liquid acid out!)

I had it so bad I couldn't sleep at night. Dr said to try PPI's at night, and if that didn't work go to 2 a day for a couple days. then taper off. I finally slept last night... Thanks to Prilosec. IF all else fails Gaviscon.. but beware of TUMS http://www.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Frefluxdefense.com%2Fheartburn_GERD_articles%2Fside-effects-antacids-and-acid-blockers.html&h=WAQE2fhsm

were they the chocolate ones? Just curious, because chocolate protein drink did the same thing to me....Wonder what is in there that does that.

Phase 3 dreamin.... I think... egg salad (with Walden farms mayo and eggs. ) canned chicken made into salad too. cottage cheese yogurt sugar free pudding.... all flavors! really cooked vegies. ( or maybe canned vegies) baked beans still thinkin.

Wow. Gottadosomething I soooo look forward to cheese... Today I braved a real chocolate protein shake (not clear)... I used Premier Protein from Costco. first I diluted it with equal amounts of water, so it wasn't so thick.. first few sips... OOOOO soo yummy to have something other than a fruity flavor.... then....For those of you who haven't tried to do this yet.... lets just say.... STAY CLOSE TO THE BATHROOM!

wow.. I was sleeved on 7/14/14 and don't start phase 2 until tomorrow for 13 days! you are really doing well if you can do mushy already!... I am still clear!

OH BOY.. Have you been constipated since the surgery? I haven't went at all, so I welcome a moving protein shake on Friday night (which is when I go full liquids). lol.. Maybe for you... try a different brand?

10 days after sleeve.... Last night had reflux something horrible... My first night of it... also my first night having plain water... (tastes like dirt to me) I filtered it twice!

CONGRATS!! Also... don't forget that breathing machine... totally worth 10 breaths an hour! Congratulations!!!! Walk as soon as you can to help with the gas. After the swallow test, you'll enjoy water like you never have before, only in teeny sips. Tomorrow won't be so bad. The day after that will be the worst, but the payoff makes it TOTALLY worth it. hey man how do you keep up with vitamins I take my son's chewable vitamin... although I don't chew. I suck on it. I found one at Costco that has very little carbs.

Yes I'm definitely in the the same place I've been trying to get as much liquids and protein in as possible but of course the protein is horrible and I can't seem to get down a whole bottle of anything with it in it I'm even trying that unflavored protein they gave me in the hospital but I don't kno what to do as far as that's concern Not sure where you are in eating phase. I am in puréed. One of my favorite go to protein foods is sugar free/fat free instant pudding with two scoops of my vanilla protein powder and 1/4 cup PB2 powder. It s really good and very satisfying. I AM STILL CLEAR LQUID FOR 2 MORE DAYS... BUT THIS SOUNDS YUMMY... can you tell me how much pudding you put in?

I like UNJURY chicken broth.. and they delivered within 2-3 days... although after 10 days it is getting old.

I am 9 days out... I am glad I did it... but no one told me of the weight stalls. Just be prepared for anything. Things that changed this past week.... 1. SMELLS are exaggerated and some are deceiving. Have a hanky ready if you are in a public place to breathe through. I sat next to a guy eating beef Jerky on the airplane on the way back from hospital. I thought the jerky smelled like road kill. and the stewardess had some awful perfume... the combo was not pleasant! 2. those first days of drinking... a sip means a teaspoon...not a tablespoon... else OUCH 3. prepare for nap time for at least the first 10 days (cause that is where I am at) 4. make sure you have Gas X strips! I took some on the way home from hospital... boy do they help with the gas pains. 5. try to find a couple clear Protein drinks... I like unjury chicken broth... but it is getting old. and Isopure (rightfully nicknamed isopuke) 6. Have some adult liquid Tylenol for when you get home, OR have a way to crush some pain pills. 7. your gauze when you get home... get the kind that doesn't stick to wounds.... learned that the hard way! 8. stock up with your Clear liquids and have a variety. (fruity G2 and Jello... gets old too. ) and get rest! Good luck with your surgery!
