  1. I’ve already had it done but I’m only 50/60 lbs from my goal weight so hopefully it won’t cause issues when I get there. I will say after having it done I was worried about gaining weight because I can’t exercise but it’s a struggle to eat. I just don’t feel like it.
  2. I was diagnosed with a cystocele and rectocele. Had them repaired Tuesday 11/20. Has anyone else has this issue? Seems like it all hit after my gastric sleeve I had a year and half ago. I just wondered if anyone has had surgery to correct those and what your experience was. I’m not sure everything I’m feeling is normal. Dr compared it to giving birth but I’m sorry, it’s been nothing like giving birth. And yes I’ll be calling my girly Dr tomorrow to ask questions.

    The Fall

    Torani makes a sugar free pumpkin spice. I bought some from their website.
  4. When I want something different I drink a Bai drink. The coconut is awesome and their Watermelon or Blueberry are great too.
  5. I think I’ll order some. I was drinking shakes but I can’t drink more than one a day. I figured if I could add some protein to other things I eat it would help boost my intake.
  6. My surgeon gave me an rx for omeprazole. Cost me $3.95 for 30. Much cheaper than buying over the counter. I did buy some at Sam’s for backup Incase Im close to running out and forget to fill it.
  7. I’m looking for a good unflavored protein that mixes well. I want to add it to my yogurt/coffee/soup. I had some right after surgery but even though it said unflavored you could taste a difference. Also it didn’t blend well. Any ideas is appreciated.

    Weight going up

    I never loose weight during my cycle. The week after I drop 3/4 lbs. fluid retention is my guess.

    Partner’s weight

    Mine gained weight because he was eating all my left overs and had more helpings at home because i don’t get as much as I had before surgery. Finally clicked while we were on vacay. He could not figure out why he had put on 30lbs that year after and was eating off my plate at a restaurant and it actually hit me at that point. I said OMG you’ve gained because your eating your plate and the 3/4 to 1/2 of mine. Hahahaha!! He stopped eating my leftovers and started measuring his food at home.

    4 week liquid diet...

    I drink mine out of the fridge. If I use a powder one I mix it and then add ice after. Only thing I add to mine is coffee in my vanilla or caramel to make a latte.

    Alcohol

    Mhy12784 No I only intend on drinking a normal size glass. Lol. I had the sleeve so I was thinking it wouldn’t affect me like the people with a bypass has. Honestly the only think I’ve noticed a difference with is sugar. I don’t have the dumping when I eat some but I do feel kinda blah.

    4 week liquid diet...

    I did a 2 week liquid diet. Strictly liquid. I lived on Shakes, sugar free jello, chicken and beef broth. First couple days were tough and i stayed closed up in my bedroom at dinner time and at work I told everyone not to come around me with food or ask me what I was doing at lunch. By the 2nd week it was a breeze. I even cooked dinner for my family a couple times. Good luck with your surgery. It’s been the best thing I have ever done for myself.

    Overdid Fluids - Problem?

    I bought toddler cups prior to surgery and drank out of the little 4 oz cups for months. In 3 weeks I’ll be one year post op and I still take 2 hours or more to drink 32oz of water.
