@@KatrinaGrace My goodness! Calm down Dear! Nobody says "you can NEVER have carbs again" there's really nothing you can never have again. Banging your head and eating potato chips won't help in any situation. You didn't say when you had surgery?! November? I'm going to assume you are having a freak out moment because A: you aren't feeling good. B: maybe you haven't graduated to "real" food yet. C: wonderful delightful explosion of hormones? D: you were misinformed about your new way of eating? Or E: all of the above. The first few weeks are taxing to say the least. You are not doing yourself any favors By getting all worked up this early in the game. A lot , and I mean I've seen a lot of people with regret early out and then turn around and say how grateful they are Later. It's ok to vent, cry, scream, whatever get it out and let it go! You are going to be ok and I'm going to check back with you after some healing time has passed. Now I'm gonna need you to just Breathe!

Premier protien ready-made shakes are my hands down favorite

@@samanthar Yes! They still do I liked all the premier protein shakes before surgery now I only like chocolate, I liked coconut water my first 2 days out, now I don't want it, and I liked my cream of shrimp soup but not anymore! It's like day to day things change. Sooooo try not to stock up on too much. Get the smallest quantities That you can and keep trying them for a few days because day one and two may be good but by day 3 your over it

@@alyssadietrch Had my surgery on a Monday and was back in class that next Monday. 1 full week was good I don't think I could have done it any earlier...unless you have someone to drive you around? The burping is normal I'm in week 3 and I still burp! No other issue though. Try to take it easy!

@@jasminnegrin 35 with co-morbids 40 without....at least for my insurance company but some can vary...and if you go out of the U.S. (Mexico) I don't know if they are as strict

Cream of chicken with herb was one of my favorites, it taste like thanksgiving to me....my daughter says chicken n dumplings

@@HawaiianTexan 2 weeks, BUT do what your Dr tells you to do. There are something's you can get from here but surgeons are different you can't rely of what someone else did...I say that so you don't stress when you read something different than what your surgeon has for you.

Nice!

@@jasminnegrin Hello! We almost have the same matching footies! Mine are just pink and black! Welcome!

@@Auntiex3 I don't think she's had the surgery yet, but to answer your question the drain is a pain! I don't think it was ever not aggravating BUT when you get that sucker out you will feel 100x better!

@@Shell88 Yes after about a week after surgery I was able to drink a whole one. When I started it would take me a good 30-40 mins but now I can drink one in 15-20 mins. I don't push it but I did/do mainly focus on fluids so it become easier each day. Water is still the HARDEST thing to get down,it takes longer than anything to drink! I don't know why but it does. I don't dislike the taste or anything it's just weird!

No I only drink premier protein ready-made shakes in chocolate. They are my favorite since my pre-op. I had strawberry and vanilla too but I don't like them anymore just chocolate! I drink the whole dang thing! 2 of them give me 60 grams of protien and if I don't feel like eating I will drink 3.

@@bobbyswife I'm thankful that I learned that big butts are in!!! And I'm thankful that my family and friends will support me no matter what my size is !❤️

I just started soft/purée both in one stage and it took me two weeks to get there 2 days of just clears, then 12 days of thick liquids and now this. It's nice but I still live on protein shakes it's easier for me. I ate more today though. 1/2 egg, tbs of turkey sausage and Tbs of cheese for breakfast, I got most of that down. Then for dinner I had 2oz of refried beans, 1 tsp sour cream , 1 tsp of hummus, and 1 tsp of salas. It's good it just takes forever to eat. I drink my water and 2 shakes for my protien I'm a good job do-er today! Oh and my first day of "real" food is thanksgiving!! And I didn't even plan that! Boom!

@@taweedeegirl Your process length is going to depend on your insurance company. I started mine middle of July and was sleeved beginning of November....roughly 3 months w/o any issues. If you have issues it can drag out.

Well congratulations...twice.

@@Shell88 And just how am I going to have any butt for my shorty shorts if you keep posting healthy food like that?? I will have to try that....when I can eat better.

@@kelseycakes20 YES!!! I don't understand why some DR don't dont do this as a routine order??! Crazy to me! I take mine every morning, one a day, and if I forget I'm quickly reminded with symptoms like yours. As long as I take it I'm golden. If I were you I would put in a call and ask. They may tell you something different and then again it may really help you.

@@MamaTo3inNH Willpower is a heck of a thing! Before my surgery I literally lived on coffee and maybe 16oz of water for fluids...ridiculous! When I found out I couldn't have it anymore I just quit. No sense in chancing misery while trying to recover. On the plus side if you do get headaches now you can take medicine for it. I thought I would get headaches but I didn't. I don't even miss coffee anymore (unless I see a Starbucks then I kinda do but I just think of the SUGAR) So the choice is yours either way I wish you luck!

@@kelseycakes20 We're you prescribed or told to use and anti-acid? If not that might be your problem.

Woohoo is right!

@@deftonestiffany I thought about the positives. And I sang "I'm bringing sexy baaaaack" periodically out of the blue! Funny to me not so much to the family! Every little thing is gonna be ok! Hang in there!

@@DBLPattyMELT7am Lol! You won't die but cut that crap out!! when you CAN have pizza find a good healthy low carb version! You don't have to deprive yourself you have to "adjust" yourself that oil in the pizza is yuck on your belly!!! You spit but you still got some!

@@Vad1988 I think almost everybody has those same fears, you can literally read that subject line in here everyday. It's a big decision I am sleeved, I've had no issues and I feel beyond blessed to have it. Everyone is different everybody's "journey" is different. It's is a lot of unknown that you won't know unless you do it. I'm not saying you should or shouldn't thats a decision you have to make for yourself but no your not alone with those feelings. If you do decide to take that plunge I would do extensive research on the band.......

@@SleeveNik I haven't either, well nausea in the hospital but nothing since! I hear all kinds of things...poop issues (none) Horrible periods after (nothing) painful eating (none) Tiered all the time/lack of energy (none) I'm thrilled but sometimes I wonder about that too. I have restriction when I eat so I know they did something in there!
