You are the new poster child for this procedure. That is a remarkable transformation. Heartfelt congratulations.

I just ended a 10 day cold and used Tylenol cold and some days sudafed. Also, gargle with crest pro health mouthwash.

Anything Tylenol based

My doc prescribed me codine/Tylenol Syrup immediately out of the hospital which according to my dad, a pharmacist, works just like a strong cough suppressant.
I wouldn't see an issue with most over the counter cold med brands but I'd check with your pharmacist! Plus you're a month out so I wouldn't be so worried about the healing staples. Feel betta!

Think of it this way: Who gets more sympathy and attention from strangers? The person who has intolerable pain and suffering or the one who had pain which could be managed by meds and walking as prescribed? Who is more likely to post online?

Took me over a year before I was comfortable with salads. Up to that point they made me very gassy. Your system does a lot of evolving that first year or two, so don't be discouraged if things don't sit right at first.

A slider is something that doesn't seem to take up much space in your sleeve so you can eat large quantities of it. liquids are sliders, which is fine if you are drinking Water or low cal drinks, but not OK When it comes to milk shakes, high calorie coffee drinks, alcohol, etc. Foods that contain a lot of air and basically turn to mush when you eat them are often sliders. Things like Cookies, cake, potato chips, popcorn, candy.< /p>
You feel restriction and portion size is limited when it comes to dense Proteins, veggies, and most things we are supposed to be eating. Our sleeve can do its job when we eat these things. Sliders are the opposite. There is no, or very little, portion restriction. In general, these are the things we shouldn't be eating anyways. For me, the exceptions are salads and nuts. These are on my "good food" list but are still sliders because I can eat large quantities without feeling full.

Something that goes down very easy. There are some foods that seem go down very easy and some things like bread and meat for me that don't slide very well.

I am Day 5 post op...and quite new to these terms. If I may ask, what is a "slider?" Sent from my SM-N920V using the BariatricPal App

I'm 6 years out and would never eat a tuna sandwich because of all the bread. I could probably finish 1/2 cup of tuna salad, though. My capacity of the things I should eat is 1/2 - 1 cup depending on density. For a good "standard" example, i had a Healthy Choice Simply grilled chicken and broccoli Alfredo frozen meal the other day (190 calories, 4g net carbs, 27g protein). Label said it was 9.15 oz and I could finish about 2/3 of it could. I can eat the inside of a whole 6" subway sandwich if I don't eat any of the bread. However, I can eat an unlimited amount of Sliders like Jello, chips, ice cream, Cookies, popcorn, etc. Salads are typically sliders for me, too. I had about 3 cups of baby spinach with bacon honey mustard dressing for dinner tonight. But then again, if you squished it all down, it probably wasn't more than a cup.

I am 6.5 months out and I can eat a whole tuna sandwich now but much slower than before. I couldn't eat much for first 5.5 months but now seems like I can get more food in at one time. I just make wiser choices now than before.

It's Transformation Tuesday!! Let's see those pics!

I had food dreams as well - had a dream I was eating chips in a pile of leaves, trying to hide ???? Sent from my HTC Desire 626s using the BariatricPal App

I am also on Wellbutrin XL but had to switch over to 1 1/2 pills twice a day. My surgeon told me I have to crush it for the first six weeks. Also on Trileptal twice a day - liquid - which isn't awful. Also on liquid Zoloft - the worst taste I have ever encountered.

You can also dissolve the powder into a little bit of warm liquid and then mix that into the hot liquids.

Does anyone know of any chewable Protein pills that I can use instead of Protein shakes? I cannot stand protein shakes but I know I need protein

if your liquid is too hot some Proteins won't dissolve properly and will turn into clumps that float on the top of the liquid (it reminds me of eggs, to be honest). powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury says to keep liquid temps below 140F, but I haven't found temperature recommendations on anything else

Is there a calendar with everyone's date? I thought I saw one somewhere. Maybe we can make a shared google cal where everyone can just add themselves?

I'm going g to respond and hope this is the last post. Here's the deal. I was having a really hard day. I didn't cheat preop and didn't cheat post op. I didn't have a 2 week plan and was trying to figure it out on my own (this has since been resolved) I asked if I could "suck" on a bugle to make it mushy. I asked of it was ok. Period. Two people responded incredibly judgmental and harsh. I then got several vets that DMd me saying it was OK....move on and don't do it again. I got hyper sensitive to the person that was really harsh. I shouldn't have done that.... I'm usually not so frail. But I was for that moment. I got some serious slamming and downright nasty comments. The next day I made an apology. It should have been over. BUT people took to this site(SUPPORT SITE) to make fun of me, ridicule me and say i was ruining the plan for most people. Blah blah blah. Here's the deal. I'm not. I made A mistake. I learned and I have moved on. I laugh about most things but being a jerk to people trying to get support isn't funny. We ALL had this surgery for a reason and we ALL should be in this together. I won't make the mistake of doing what I did and I hope people are kinder when someone comes on and asks a stupid question again. To the people saying they are blocking newbies shame on you! Why be in a support group if youre here to shame people. End of discussion. Time to move on.

It's amusing to me at this point. I mean we are adults. There is a difference between making fun of someone and humor. I apologized yet some people are still going...worse yet the OP was made after my apology.... I am ok. I have had huge support and several DMs. I appreciate the support and the people that get it. I went to Dr today and they set me up with everything I need. I went on this site for help because I didn't have the information. If people turn it into negative feedback then it's their issue. We all wish and hope for success. There will always be the people out there excited for an argument or are the experts that make you feel stupif. I am excited for my journey!! Thanks for the support!!!

Wow really? How is this post or most of the replies ok at all? You people should be ashamed of yourselves for making fun of another member. A person who is obviously new and was not given the information she should have been given. Instead of helping her you shame her? Bullying is not humor and it is not ok.

Oh okay, a bashing fest where we are supposed to go to get support. I'm raying she doesn't see this. The majority of you here - on this post - are incredibly rude.
