  1. I notice that If I don't stop eating soon enough I will get nauseated. Maybe you are getting too full.
  2. Walk walk and walk some more. It will also help with your soreness. That right stitch pain will last about 3 weeks. Get your Protein in! Super important!
  3. The preop diet is hard! I questioned myself a lot during those 2 weeks! After surgery it is tons easier! I am never hungry. Like ever. I have to force myself to get the Protein and adequate nutrition in. I love my sleeve. Best decision I've made, I just wish I would've had it sooner! Preop 263 Current 230 I will be 4 weeks post op tomorrow Good luck!
  4. @mesparkle I drink the Syntrax nectar Protein drinks, I eat eggs for Breakfast.. Yesterday I stopped at Wendy's and got the chili for lunch. Stay away from carbs, upYour protein and walk walk walk.

  7. I stalled for 2 weeks, added more protein and calories and viola, lost 6 lbs last week! You can do it!!
  8. My scaled was stalled for two weeks... Dietician said make sure I was getting my protein. Started really focusing on the protein and viola! I lost 5lbs this week. My new protein drink of choice- syntax nectar. I've only tried the strawberry kiwi but my friends (non bariatric) drink them too and like the lemonade
  9. I have finally found a way to get my protein in... Syntax nectar on the go packets. Flavorful- add to bottled water. Today I drank mine with ice. Strawberry kiwi. 23grams of protein per packet. I've also added eggs into breakfast. I went two weeks without any weightloss. Once I added more protein in the scale moved! I lost 5lbs this week! Keep at it! Remember this is a TOOL, we still have to work at it! I can't wait to be cleared to exercise.
  10. Walk!! Helps a ton! Stop UR pain meds asap... They slowed my "feeling better" down
  11. My daughter goes to Little. we live not too far from martin off of Park Springs and pleasant Ridge. Definitely a small world! I teach at Bebensee, most people have never heard of it, lol. It is AISD, and it is over by cravens park, by ferguson jh. I FINALLY slept through the night! First time in 8 days! Now, if only the next 3 days would fly by!
  12. It was tough at first. I had to review all day and could NOT sit comfortably without a lean that looks TOTALLY unprofessional! Lol. I sipped all day. I can't stomach anymore Protein shakes! Yuck! I came home and had some soup. I feel great now, all stretched out in bed! Lol. I had a hard time reaching for things on my table too. But I know the walking up and down the halls was beneficial. I CANT wait for this large incision to heal! 8 more days until summer! I am in arlington.. Where are you? Did I mention that I was a teacher?
  13. I am day 8 post op, and this darn right side incision is my only nemesis! When did everyone else's stop hurting!??
  14. Drinking with a straw makes me burp. I just take small sips on my own.
  15. I am struggling to get any protein at this point. I'm sick of all of the current choices of protein. I tried to eat blended soup last night and I came to the conclusion that I must be still swollen inside. This is day 7 post op. I feel lots better today. I'm still not sleeping through the night. Up every 2-3 hrs. Wish I could sleep on my side! I can't wait for that one sore side to go away! I go back to work tomorrow. EEK!

  17. I have PCOS too. I was sleeved on the 18th as well. My surgery weight was 250. I am still swollen from all the gas. That was my biggest pain. I woke and felt like I couldn't breathe. I have yet to be nauseated, but I keep my nausea cream on me at all times. I started my premier protein yesterday because I couldn't drink my Unjury, I just couldn't drink it... BLAH. But the premier is delish. It's not clear but my dietician said I could start it. I go to dr wed for week 1 post op appt
