My surgeon told me never again. I cried so much since I was a heavy coca-cola addict since age 5! Had several a day. I got sleeved 9/27 and I haven't looked back! Don't drink it! I won't even contemplate a sip I'm afraid I'll go back to it. So I had to divorce it!

So here I am, sleeved 9/8/16 was 274 at 5'7'. Today i am 174. Size 11/12 is getting baggy. I have no eating restrictions at this point. Nothing has ever made me sick. I ate a whole sleeve of Girl Scout Cookies the other day. I do work out 3x a week, and I am very active. Still losing very slowly at this point. Hoping to lose 34lbs more. What are people losing at this point. Mine seems to go in spurts, nothing for 2weeks than 5-6 ponds fall off.

Weird hearing the name flip flops used as the term for thongs and vise versa I bet too lol

I'm a Southern California "flip flop" girl too! I can't remember the last time I wore socks, but it was 84 degrees here today and I am under a blanket right now.

YES!! I was sleeved 9/27 and in the last month I noticed that my hands are freezing as well as my feet at times. It mostly happens at night but it takes awhile to heat up. When I do I can go from warm to cold really fast

3 ounces of Protein food and a couple ounces of cooked vegetables sounds about right. Total about 1/2 cup.

I am just about 5 months and I can eat 2.5-3 oz of meat and usually an oz or up to 1/4 cup of veggies.

I'm almost 6 months out and the amount depends on the density of the meat for me. I can do about 2.5 ounces of steak, 2.0 ounces of chicken, 2.5-3.0 ounces of fish. Crab legs are super easy for me to get down, so I'm estimating a little over 3 ounces.
If I get vegetables down, it's maybe 3 tablespoons at most as I try to concentrate on the Protein. I can also do a whole link sausage (like a bratwurst) if I take my time and nibble, leave it, then come back to it.

General body coldness is definitely a side effect of the surgery. I imagine that goes for fingers and toes too.

Hope you don't mind wearing layers!

Congratulations on your weight loss[emoji322][emoji323] I was sleeved 9/13/16 and at this point I am consuming about 8oz of food per meal. There are days when I can eat all 8 oz and there are days that I can't.

I'm 16 months post op. I am grateful for the 105lb weight loss. Feel so much better. Try to eat right most of the time. Doc said avoid bread, rice, Pasta so I try not to ever eat it and if I do it causes problems. It makes its way down to my stomach slowly and causes the hicup/slime effect. This is when something gets "stuck" and your body produces a mucousy substance to push the food back up and clear you esophagus. Not pleasant but short lived once clear (not vomit just need to spit). Avoid dry meat, bread Pasta rice, and chew chew chew. I want to lose 40lb more and at a stop for weight loss but went from 26/28, 3x/4x to 12/14, L
No regrets. Working on my post op life diet health plan.

You can slice cucumber slices thin and flavor your Water. I also use fresh mint.you can make a pitcher and refrigerate or make it in single glass. I keep a pitcher of filtered water in the fridge. I especially like it with lemon and lime slices. A you can refill the pitcher for a few days before replacing the fruits.

I drink a lot of hot herbal tea when the weather is cooler, too.

@@carlacv There are quite a few no calorie beverages to try. I've liked the BAI brand flavored waters, their coconut waters are good too! The nestle splash is another good one and I love Arizona green tea.. zero calorie zero caffeine! I'd avoid anything that is carbonated!

I've been drinking flavored Water called Nestle Splash. It is not carbonated and no calories and comes in several flavors. I do add more plain Water to mine because they do taste sweet! I also put a splash of G2 in my regular water to give it a flavor as well. Hope this helps!

I have a skinny Caramel Machiatto every sunday since I was about 10 weeks post op. I don't have to, on sundays I'm up very early for my daughters fall league softball games... it helps wake me up and i hasnt caused a stall or made me crave.

I usually get black cold brew, I add my own cream, if I want cream which is rare, because I just want a dash and they go nuts.
When I am running low on calories, my treat drink at Starbucks is a tall flat white.

Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App I am 9 weeks out and I have had Halo Top ice cream. A 1/2 cup has 6-7 g of Protein. It's a bit more expensive but I love that I get Protein from it.

I have been able to have Decaf immediately after my surgery. I'm 9 weeks post-op and I have a decaf latte with soy or almond milk and one of the sugar free coffee syrups at Starbucks. Usually I do caramel. Of course no whip! I have no problem with this.

The Flat White with skin milk and cinnamon is delicious. Their decafe iced coffee is also great.add sugar free flavor shot of you want
