  1. Anybody here can share if they have use the Herbalife products after the surgery for protein purpose or maintain the weight off?
  2. When can you start taking pills or Vitamins without crushing them or been chewables or gummies? I don't like the taste of the pills that I have to crush or some of the chewables vitamins I take.
  3. Hello, same issue here. I had surgery on 2/6/18 and maybe like 1 week post op started spotting and with a terrible yeast infection where they had to give twice treatment because it was not going away. Now I had my period for over a week, is light and not a lot of cramping. I definitely think it have to be relate to the surgery, I have the IUD for almost 4 years now and don't get my period. I have an appointment with my gynecologist hopefully there is a solution to this. Hope your's get better soon.
  4. I am 5 weeks post op and they told me I could go back to the gym... I am not sure about the lifting part, if there is any restrictions on that.
  5. When is the right time to exercise after a Gastric Sleeve?

  8. I am doing 2 Premier Protein a day for meal replacement and 1 bar so I am only doing one meal a day which most of the day is only salad and protein . I did that for 1 entire week and the scale looks the same to me.
  9. @orionburnI am suppose to start the 2 week diet this week, but I decided to start before and I have been doing the diet for 1 week already and honestly I don't see any difference on the scale and I am so scare to get to my surgery day with the same weight, I am not sure why that scale is not going down

  12. Hello everyone, I am scheduled for 2/6/18 super excited and nervous for this new journey
  13. Thanks for sharing your story, I am so scared and anxious is crazy. Honestly I know is not going to be easy but I think I rather have both and be done with that, because most likely I will have to go back and get it done. Let’s see what happens hopefully is not that bad for me. Thanks again and Happy holidays!!!
  14. Can some please share their experience having their Gallbladder removed along with the sleeve surgery. I am scheduled for surgery in February and will love to hear from someone that have already had surgery. Thanks
  15. Hola Mili, muchas felicidades por ese logro. Me encanto encontrar este post y conocer tu historia. Soy nueva en este grupo y apenas aprendiendo a navegar la pagina, me gusta mucho este website ya que es de mucho beneficio encontrar la ayuda y soporte de personas que estan pasando por el mismo proceso. Te cuento que mi situacion es parecida a la tuya. Tengo 33 años y desde los 23 e sufrido de Diabetes II y ahora precion alta. Y no es nada facil tener que depender de tantos medicamentos para seguir viviendo. Por eso e tomado la desicion de someterme a esta cirugia y poder tener la posibilidad de mejorar mi salud. Tengo mi cita con el cirujano en 12/20/17 y te cuento que los nervios me tienen al 100%. Ya sabes la anciedad de que nunca e tenido un cirujia mayor y temor a el proceso de operacion y recuperacion. Pero ver tu historia y lo bien que te ves me dan fuerzas de saber que aunque el camino es dificil Dios me ayudara a sobrepasar esto y lograr una mejoria en mi salud. Por lo que vi tu cirujia ya paso mas de un año, me gustaria saber como te sientes? que tal a sido mantener el peso? que otros ostaculos has tenido que enfrentar para mantenerte? Gracias mil por compartir tu historia.
  16. Thanks so much Suz88 for you help. What type of milk are you using? I was thinking on getting Almond milk and see if this would help with the taste.
  17. I will love for someone to help with recipes to prepare the Nectar shakes...I got the sample package with many different flavors but I don't think I am mixing it right, so far I don't like it. Please help!!
