I was sleeved June 11, 2014 and was sent home with an abdominal binder that I was to wear for at least a week. I can wear it as long as I feel I need to. I still wear it at night (to help me side sleep), and when I know I will be out for a long time. While in the hospital, the bariatric coordinator suggested that a compression garment might help in the long run with loose skin. She suggested the Spanx brand, or other similar types of garments. I am wondering if this is true? If it is, have any of you tried any? What is the best type to buy? Also, what size do I buy? I feel that they are too expensive to buy (and get a size we won 't be in long) if we are quickly shrinking. Thanks for any suggestions!

I felt the same way. There are savory flavored Proteins. Try unjury.com, they have a chicken broth loaded with Protein. So you are getting in protein that isn't sweet.

I went to the County Fair today and did not sample ANY fair food! Not a deep fried Oreo, funnel cake, or hand dipped corn dog passed these lips! I brought my own lunch, as did my 20 month old grandson, and we ate together while his mom and dad ordered their lunch, then we went exploring while they ate. Not only am I proud, my wallet is SO happy with me!
I'm counting this as a big NSV!!
