@@Alex Brecher how do I change the spelling in my title? That's going to drive me NUTS! Not desert dessert!

Looks like they are on sell.

@@lclemur I found these on the Walmart website and bed bath and beyond. It looks like you can find them a most large retail sites.

@@lclemur I got mine at Walmart. I'm not sure if they carry it all year I will check for you...

I'm not sure if it's considered a waist trainer or just a cintcher? I figure with the straps it will help with My back and keeping it up. Let me know how yours turns out please!

@@Pac-woman That's pretty! Here's a picture of the one I ordered...

Wow what a ride huh! I hope you get that quick approval and get on with it! Have you tried the premier protein ready made shakes? Chocolate is my favorite and really the only protein shakes I drink.

@@lfry925 I think most of us go through that. I was always hungry..like always. I would eat a full dinner and eat again a hour later. I was like you In the fact that I couldn't imagine such small amounts of food. Well I had surgery 11/3 and I literally eat 4-5 bits Of food and I'm done. It's weird at first but you get use to it. I actually enjoy not being able to stuff myself. I like having the full sensation and having it for hours at a time.

Yes you can be in starvation mode, it will get easier to eat your still in the baby Stages. Try not to think about it so much. Take it day by day and it will all get easier.

@@jefedejefes So how did you get it covered by them?

@@CanyonBaby Preach sister!! Amen!!

@@Elizabeth21 Thanks for the tips! I will have to check those out!

Hello everyone! I've been meaning to share this for awhile but with the cold weather I've not been using it as much. My favorite kitchen gadget since VSG surgery for a "dessert" has to be the "Dessert Bullet" ! I purchased this before my surgery off of a recommendation from a veteran VSGer. If you've never seen or used one all you do is add fresh frozen fruit in the top and it comes out a ice cream consistency! You don't need any other ingredients. It's amazing! My kids LOVE it. My daughter likes to freeze yogurt and adds it into the mix. You can do all kinds of variations. The best part is you know exactly what's going in and coming out so its easy to track. Of course you will have to be at the stage where you are allowed fruit and fruit still has natural sugars so you shouldn't go wild We always use the No sugar added frozen fruit and bananas make it even more creamy. We like to use the over ripe banana (cut them up and freeze them). Anyway I just thought I would share a product I love and am grateful I found especially with summer just around the corner!!! PS: The picture is just the frozen dole fruit I didn't add any banana so its more of a sherbet texture. Play around with it and have fun! I bought mine at Walmart and I think I paid around 40 bucks for it? I'm sure you can find it on amazon ect..

The best little gadget I've invested in is the dessert Bullet. It's the coolest thing ever! You just put fresh frozen fruit in it and it comes out ice cream consistency. You don't have to add anything else to it if you Don't want to. My daughter likes to freeze yogurt cubes in the ice tray and adds it to the fruit (and of course chocolate chips ect..) I don't add anything And it's perfect!!! Highly recommended:)

No!! Miralax will just make it worse! Do NOT take that unless you would like to spend the next two days strapped to your toilet. Miralax helps you have a BM. It's common in the beginning to have loose stools especially if your taking any narcotics. Call your DR and see what they suggest. You will probably just have to let it run its course. If anything you should ask if you can use some Imodium AD. Stay extra Concentrated on the fluids!

@@Jlkhollins Well that's scary but great that you have a awesome surgeon who was able to fix you back up! Good thing you got that thing out!

Hello and welcome! Keep us updated on your progress

Hello and welcome! I personally use the "lose it app" I've used it for a few years now and it's the only one I'm use to using. I know there are a bunch of different ones but that ones my fav.

It's pretty common to fluctuate in weight as aggravating as it is. I don't know what your eating but I know when I was doing a low carb diet before surgery it seemed to be high in sodium which will cause fluid retention. Also low carb diets have a tendency to cause constipation maybe thats a issue? I know TMI but if it is try drinking some "smooth move" tea to keep everything moving along. Keep tracking everything and make sure you really read those lables. There's so much hidden sugar in everything. Try to cook your own food fresh so you can season and know what's actually in the food. If your already doing all this than just you never mind me:) good luck!@@Scarlett72

Ha! That's great! It's the little things that can make a person happy

Good luck!

Congrats!

@@downsizingdiva Mine took a it two months. It started out sounding like I had demons living in there and now it's pretty normal.

@@Pac-woman Ha! That's funny I just order a squeem last night. It won't be here until Friday so I can't tell you anything about it yet.

I'm sure it is
