  1. Never heard of that. My sleeve was 12 years ago.
  2. Don’t pay attention to people that haven’t done it. We’d all do it again. It gives you your life back
  3. I wish I couldn’t. I can eat too much after 3+ yrs. don’t do it. Gaining too much back now.
  4. Don’t worry. As soon as you drink while eating a bit too much and throw up a few times, you won’t drink again.
  5. Tell the waiter you need to pay with your own credit card so please put yours on a separate check. Then make sure you do put your share of the tip in. Let the rest split the check and it's no worries for you.
  6. You'll do fine. Keep positive and do what the doctors tell you. I thought I knew better found I don't didn't maximize my weight loss
  7. take water then they will leave you alone
  8. If you do exactly what the doctors tell you and your nutritionist you will do great and I learned that when I thought I knew more than they did my weight loss slow down
  9. 17 lb in just over 2 weeks is great! Don't worry. Keep it up that is a whole pound a day
  10. Do good relax its going to be nice good pain drugs!
  11. 3 hr is a long time after as little as you ate. Not a big deal or unusual but probably head hunger. You'll get where you can tell the difference. You are worrying not eating a lot at all
  12. The first time I took a big gulp of water after a meal I learned. Got dry heaves almost threw up. That is a good reminder. Drink too much before eating and there won't be room for food
  13. By now you have probably left him. Or you won't make it. Perhaps he'll change. Probably not. Too bad but you deserve better. He is not a honey or a good guy if he won't change
  14. Where do you get nectar sample box? I haven't seen it
  15. Of course you can use spice or flavoring vanilla being clear liquid is good. I even bought egg flower soup from Chinese restaurant strained out solids and put chicken broth flavor in(after cooling a bit). Reminded me of food!
  16. I put it in a bottle of water and sip. Otherwise it's too strong and sweet for me. And try their coffee latte flavor it's great.
  17. I am 8 months out been dropping still but slowly last 3 months maybe 5 lb a mo. But weight goes up 3-5 lb then back down. Right now I have lost a pound a day this week only maybe 12 lb from my goal I passed dr goal awhile back. I rally could lose 25 more to be near "ideal weight" could do by end of year. Started 370 was 310 on surgery date this morning 238. First time under 240 in 18 years.
  18. My insurance company requires 6 months diet before paying. In 7 months I lost around 63 lb. actually it was in the first 4. I ate what I wanted after that til my surgery. Lost 60 more since
  19. I had sleeve in dec. don't like the way beer or soda tastes now. I've tried a few times Bloody Mary too didn't like. Probably a good thing or I'd drink all day. If you have to let it go flat it's not worth having. Seriously I don't miss and the fizz will bloat my stomach. Don't even try is best
  20. Mona what took so long? Ha ha I had this soon as I started foods again. My dr got me taking stool softener then fiber etc. the phase will change back again and again. Sometimes I need suppositories even. But I feel that when I poop a lot I lose weight faster. Good luck
  21. Try eating much slower. It took me a while to figure when I was full. Your stomach will let you know when you have had enough. Also make sure you are not drinking too soon after eating. That causes me to throw up. Otherwise only horseradish like in cocktail sauce bothers me. I ate with baby shrimp. Give it at least 30 minutes before drinking water. Let me know if this helps.
