  1. Where can they be purchased? How much?
  2. MBird: what stage are you? Post op? You can have Perrier even tho it's carbonated?
  3. Just saw Inspire has a bottle with 3 compartments: one for water, one for protein powder, and a sectioned one for supplements, i.e., vitamins, meds. Cost is $14.99. I'm pre op, but wondering if this would be a good choice to buy; or are there others I should consider.
  4. Does anyone know where i can find one? It's suppose to keep food warm during our 20-30 minute eating time
  5. I agree with so many of the suggestions provided. Personally, I use LoseIt and like it, but it's not specific to bariatric tracking. It has a seaech for foods in general; once you've developed a shake recipe, for example, you can go to your favorites and find it. If youre searching for a brand name, you can look in Supermarkets or Restaurants to find it. New ap needs a way to update foods and menus as changes are made. I'm still pre op, but want ways to be successful: when to take vitamins, medications with a reminder signal. Place to record weight, measurements with a graph to see visual. Basically I would say to use what LoseIt has, improve upon it, and make it bariatric specific. Thanks for asking for our input[emoji4]
  6. Wheelem: I'm also in AR, scheduled for surgery Aug 2 with Dr Tucker. Just had barium swallow today: have hiatal hernia. Is this something he can fix while doing sleeve? EGD is next week. Next appt with Tucker id mid-Just ne. Any tips? Thanks. BTW I'm 69.
  7. I use Lose It ap to track food and exercise...don't know about water
  8. Just had this done today, and Dr found I have a hiatal hernia. Will this be a problem with Sleeve surgery, or will Dr just fix that at the same time?
  9. The only things I have remaining are EGD and barium swallow, and those will be completed by the the end of May. I meet with surgeon mid-June, and surgery is scheduled for Aug. 2. Anyone else in a similar situation?
  10. Thanks for your advise
  11. Im still pre-op, surgery scheduled for Aug 2. Im going on a cruise in June. I would appreciate any suggestions from those who have experienced this. Im not eating any bread, drinking any alcohol or soda. Advice please?
  12. Aug 2[emoji16] I still need a EGD and barrium. For those who have had this, how was it?
  13. Thanks for the feedback?
  14. Does the bread need to be refrigerated?
  15. I used 1/3 fat cream cheese, but I may try the Greek yogurt sometime.
  16. I'm pre-op. I just made cloud bread today and I like it. Since it has cream cheese in it, is it allowed post-op?
  17. How do you get the ticker of progress to show up?
  18. Has anyone pre- or post-op used Amazing Mayo from Walden Farms? Just wondering if its acceptable?
  19. Are they allowed? What about using local honey as sweetener in coffee?
  20. HurricaneU: is using a straw allowed?
