Crazy E

I found the perfect shakes!

I use the Quest Protein powder packs. Come in your normal flavors and yummy ones like salted Carmel. THEN I stumbled across the sugar free syrups that Starbucks uses at World Market (Walmart type stores usually only carry vanilla, raspberry and Carmel) BUT I got s'mores, cinnamon vanilla, brown sugar bourbon, Belgian sugar cookie, Carmel, chocolate ALL sugar free. So I add a small amount to my shakes. I even do the premier chocolate or vanilla and put it in blender with some ice and these flavoring and it's one of the best things I look forward to waking up to.

I am obsessed with this show too. The worst part is seeing them take huge bites and eating donuts and McDonald's after surgery! Wth , I want to throat punch them

Had the best cheese meal tonight and so easy

Turkey deli meat

Avocado

Either sliced or cheese stick

Roll up and heat in a pan with little olive oil

Cheese melts and it's like eating grilled cheese with the meat as the bread!

This cannot be sugar coated so here it goes. First forum post in my life but seriously need to talk about this. My short story first. Had the band, lost 110 pounds. Got down to 117 and felt amazing. Then it sucked. Irritated my stomach and the let out and fills and throwing up and weight gain got old. So transitioned to sleeve on 12/12/16. Started at 162, 155 day of surgery and down 143 and stalled. Ok no problem. Stomach feels great. BUT tonight had the most horrible experience going to the bathroom. I have no kids but I'm pretty sure this was similar to giving birth. Hard. Stuck. Extremely large. After an enema , and drinking a laxative and three long camp outs in the bathroom and very loud grunts and screams, I was relieved. My friend had the bypass and the same thing happened to her and I took her to the ER. I was never told it would be this bad by my staff???!!! This should be in bold letters on all paperwork! I've read some places on different things to do but would like advice on best intake regime to keep this from happening. I take a probiotic but should I take a daily Fiber or laxative and what is best? Anyone else go through this???
