  1. I love to cook now more than ever...I don't get it!
  2. I took a week... I am a teacher.. On my feet all day!
  3. I am very excited ... Three months post op... Down 59 pounds... Feel terrific! For some strange reason I am loving cooking more than ever! I think because I feel better .. Not sluggish ! So I am cooking for 10 people. I did all my baking yesterday and not even thinking I licked the spoon .. Omg I have not had any sugar in several months... It was almond joy cookie batter... The spoon just went to mouth... Like I had a brain freeze...I am mad at myself ...btw I made.. Fudge..magic bars .. Cinnamon pecans... Chocolate chip cookies... And did not taste anything . I ordered the pies from Whole foods! Has this happened to anyone else where it is just automatic to the mouth?
  4. My nose starts to run ... I am three months out today... I have gone past that one bite too many and it is a horrible feeling. I am a better judge now.
  5. Quest bars ... I got mine at whole foods.
  6. I was on full liquids for three full weeks!
  7. I went back to work after 5 days... I am a teacher.. However I get to work At 6;30 and stay until 4 or 4:30... I was tired but I did it... Rested when I got home . Thank goodness I have an amazing husband who took care of me!
  8. I only weigh once a week.. On Sunday morning... I told myself after this surgery I was changing everything on this journey.. I refuse to get caught up in the day to day ups and downs on the scale... I know the weight is coming off and I know I will hit stalls .. However I will not determine my mood by my scale nor will I be a slave to my scale. I am 9 weeks out... I hit a stall for three weeks... Last Sunday down eight pounds ...relax .. Follow your plan and good things will happen !alyce
  9. Clothes off... Once a week... Sunday morning ...
  10. Call the police... Non emergency number. They will guide you.
  11. I am always cold.. Nine weeks out! I am taking all my vitamins. I live in Florida and I was sleeved in August! When I am home I always have a winter blanket on me !
  12. I love the Genepro... It saved me... I put it in apple juice... I too could not get all my water and protein in... Made me gag... I am 9 weeks out and I can tell you it gets better! I now out my Genepro in V8 juice! The thing that saved me was sugar free Popsicles .... They kept me hydrated . Good luck!
  13. I posted something about Quest Bars and now I don't see it... What does anyone know about these. Sometimes I am in the run in the car... I don't always have something to grab... Was wondering if anyone has tried these bars?
  14. Sounds like something I am going to try... Has anyone put it in a ice cream cone...not the sugar or waffle ... The other... They are 10 calories... Put the pudding right inside the cone!!
  15. What can anyone tell about these bars... I am eight weeks out... Need to find a bar when I am on the go in the car..... What can someone tell me... Are they okay for us...
  16. When I was not getting enough water because I cannot stand drinking out of a cup I started using a straw... I am 8 weeks post op and I use a straw everyday... And I will continue to use one.
  17. Oh by the way I get that same feeling in my esophagus when I eat to fast... Now I have a timer on the table... I have now realized how fast I use to eat before surgery ... And when I am busy and eating in a hurry this happens with the feeling in my esophagus.
  18. I was sleeved August 27 which is about 8 weeks and I have nausea right now... I had 4 bites of avocado with some veggies.. It was on a quarter piece of pita but I only ate the veggies. I don't know why this happens from time to time. I track what I eat and I can't always find a pattern . I hope this is not a forever thing . Have you tracked what you eat?
  19. My patch came in threes but they let me buy one which was 75 dollars.. One lasted 72 hours and that's all I needed . A must have ... Never got sick!
  20. I am now freaking out that I am eating too much! I was sleeved on August 27... I am now eating 1/3 cup of egg whites for breakfast... 2 hard boiled eggs for lunch... No yolk...a cheese stick or yogurt for snack and 1/2 cup of chicken or fish for dinner and veggie... Have I stretched my sleeve ? I also just added some peanut butter on celery for a snack...I don't feel that restricted feeling that I use to feel after a couple of bites but I just stop after I eat those amounts. Am I eating too much!
  21. I had Dr. Ache and Dr. Jesse and I would have traveled to the ends of the earth for them... I live in Tampa and these doctors are just phenomenal..... I did my research for a year!
  22. I am in north Tampa.. I live in Westchase.... Are you on Facebook ? Would Love to meet you. When were you sleeved?
  23. I wore a patch for three days... For nausea ... What are your doctors saying other than it's normal ?
