I found some sugar free pumpkin pie Syrup at world market yesterday.

Karen, call your DR tomorrow and ask them please. It may be something simple, but it might be better to ask.

So is it safe to say we are all worried that something is going to happen and we will not be successful?
I've been overweight my whole life. I've been looking at boards and people's stats, and I just feel there's no way that I'll ever get thin. I have that 'It won't happen to me, something is going to happen" feeling. Weird !
Hate this feeling tonight !

How about this. Lets create a FB group, make it private and a few of us "techies" can test it out before the end of the month to make sure nothing is seen by anyone ! and I'm like Kathie, I love Bariatric Pal. I have two tabs open on my browser, FB and BP. Great to have so many people to talk to about this !
LOL Peek, yup, it is !!! Welcome to the group Peek's Ticker
Lazy Lizzy Congrats on starting the pre op liquid.. I know, don't roll your eyes and think .. "shut up lady, I want some solid foods"... because let me tell ya, we want them too ! LOL Hang in there !!! You can vent to us anytime !
Susan, LOVE your new little gadgets !!!! Soon we will be like Peek and Kathy and on to the mushies. So jealous !! Enjoy it ladies !
HUGS !

For me, I just feel lighter on my feet. I can also sit and feel like it's getting smaller. But then again, maybe I'm a freak. Because when I gained 50lbs in 3 months, I could also feel the fat growing on me. It was soon gross. And I wasn't able to do anything about it.

Karen, I'm wondering about the activity ticker when you first join.
Thanks Peek! Good words !!! I really can't go by the scale. I still feel that "Shrinking" feeling. If you know what I mean.

Well I didn't listen and weighed today. Gained two pounds LOL. I'm not going to let it get me down. In fact I'm laughing at it. I drank a 32oz bottle of gatorade last night. I'm sure it shocked my body. Also I think TOM is on it's way in a few days.. or it should be. And I know that 1 gallon of Water = 8 lbs soo ... I just keep remembering, no matter what the scales say, it will come off !! I"m going to have to attitude to just look at the scale and say "Yeah? You think that's right.. well you're gown DOWN on my watch" LOL

GENEPRO ... No flavor at all... I bought it on Amazon... Little tiny scooper... 30 grams of protein... Mix it in anything!!!!

Everyone
In my first week post op, I made home chicken noodle Soup and just strained it and had the broth. Three different times to be exact. I was so excited for something homey and satisfying. Well, the next day I had gained 2 pounds. I think it was the sodium. So be awhere of sodium. I just drank more fluids that day as well as my Protein Drinks and the weight came off.
Im just saying this because it could and probably will happen to us all.
Keep up the good work and stay strong and positive.

I saw that Karen ! The thing that bothers me is they named it October Sleevers ... if you want privacy why name it something like that LOL I don't trust that the name of the group can't be seen by anyone.

ATTENTION EVERYONE
I care about all of you, so sorry if this is TMI, but I want to make sure we are all doing well ...
Is everyone peeing and having bowel movements ? Your pee should be light yellow to clear, bowel movements every couple of days if not every day, and may be thin because of our liquid diets.
Just keeping it really and making sure everyone is healthy !

Susan, no ! you didn't stretch your sleeve, but you felt it, huh !! We are not really going to know the restrictions of our stomachs until we start eating solid foods. With a big swig, you kind of felt the restriction. Which is good. that's why we did what we do. Now we know not to do that LOL HUGS, do not worry about it !

@@athomas125 - you need your fluids. Even if it's just Water, gatorade, power aid, or a glass of skim milk. Something ! You need your energy.
@@shmeyers, yeah, it's 1 cup mootopia (12 grams of protein) and 1/3 cup of milk powder (8 grams of protein). An easy way to add Protein.
@@Kimberly_R - Great to know ! I asked mine today as well. They said the only reason for the restrictions is for healing processes. It has nothing to do with weight. She told me the goal was to get to 5 to 6 meals a day, so if I take my time, I'm okay to do so. I cut back today to a 1/2 cup of Soup instead of a full cup. In fact I feel better eating only 1/2.

Okay, I'm okay with a FB Page as long as the name of the group has nothing to do with being sleeved or weight loss or anything, and it's completely private and you must be invited to join. Steph, maybe create an account that’s not your full name and use it just for that? OR, we could create a yahoo group ? I’m more of a fan of FB, but I’m also like everyone. I don’t want people to find out on my FB that I had surgery. Thoughts?

Yup, RM, I’m like you, I’ve been having lots of cravings. Today I’ve been having a terrible craving for beef. So I took a progressive light pot roast Soup, put it in my blender, added some beef broth, and blended that bad boy up until it was all liquid. Took care of the craving. For your bacon, the other day I took a bean bacon campbells Soup, added my double milk, and blended till liquified. Add some salt and pepper to that bad boy, yum !! I think I’ll do what Steph said when i want some cheese. That sounds good steph !

As far as my allergic reaction to the glue, I’m doing better. I take a benedryl at night and put benedryl cream on it during the day. It’s starting to turn from a reddish purple rash to a pink rash. The glue is coming off my incisions on the sides. I’m not too worried, those incisions look good (besides the rash).

Jen - It’s funny how most of the times our loved ones are more worried. I hope you have the best and greatest surgery tomorrow !!!

Deb - It’s great to see your post !! How are you doing now?? LOL @ gym ready! Steady nelly It’s exciting though !!

RM - I kinda felt that way too, but today everything feels better. I think we need to control our head, and let your bodies do what we are telling them to do with the food. We will lose weight. … you said it great in your post !

Susan - Great recipes ! Thanks !!!

FIRE - CONGRATS !!!!!!!!!! Keep walking girl ! I’m so happy for you !!!!!!
