I was sleeved Aug 15 and am making it into the regular size clothes - yay! But I have no idea where to shop since I've been shopping at Plus size stores for so long. Mostly interested in blouses, slacks for work. Suggestions?

Damnit why didn't I see this before ?

Sleeved Aug 15. Can't tolerate eggs no matter how they are prepared, tuna, most meat. Frustrating since they are high in protein which is what I'm supposed to need focusing on post surgery. Unfortunately I learned that chips, ice cream, cookies, cake, candy go down just fine. Arrghhh.

Continues to boggle my mind how varied the instructions/advice is from the different Doctors we all have.

Interesting. I was never told I had to crush my meds.

I was sleeved 8/18. Pretty sure I was instructed to be off my meds only the morning of surgery. After my surgery I had a lot of trouble with nausea and dehydration for more than a week post op. I couldn't keep much of anything down - food, water, or any of my meds (mood stabilizers, antidepressants, thyroid meds) which were critical for me to take. After having fluids pumped into me, and also being prescribed some anti nausea meds I finally got back on track. This journey isn't easy so it's especially important to stay connected with your psych and continue to manage your meds along the way. I wish you well.

Good reminder

Ditto what Wanda said. Hang in there.

Fantastic!

Good to hear that the revision surgery was approved. After you have an initial consultation with a lawyer you'll have more info to help you decide which legal route to take, even if that decision is to not pursue anything at all. Good luck!

Lol. Thanks for the laugh!

Sadly I don't have issues with bread either. Wish I never would've figured that out. rs sleeved 8/15/18

Sending prayers your way

Sending prayers for all

Congratulations on reaching ONEderland! Celebrate your success! I'm still 10 lbs away and am looking forward to getting to that milestone.

Congratulations!!!

I struggle too. Averaging about 25 oz per day at 4 months post surgery. I'm well aware that I need to drink much much more.

Congratulations! Indeed you should feel great for your accomplishment thus far! Close your eyes and truly enjoy the happiness. Way to go! [emoji106]

I'm sorry for the late of your sweet Bella. It's so hard to lose a pet. Please take care of yourself. I hope that you can get another little friend as they bring such joy. Consider looking at your local shelters because there are so many who need lotsa love, like you gave Bella. [emoji252]

Back atcha!

@Kokolat2005 and @Frustr8 so sorry to hear you're dealing with this extra stuff. Hang in there!

Way to go!!

Yes I'm talking about the ready to drink shakes because convenience helps me be more successful. I've tried many different drinks and have settled on 4 different ones (plus different flavors of each). Screenshot attached. The first one is a more traditional milk based shake and the other three are more yogurt/juice types. For some reason I'm doing better at drinking these better than eating the spoon-yogurt version but those last three seem to be so high in carbs/sugar which makes me question whether it's ok to have that much of it helps me get to my protein goal. I have a call into my nutritionist to ask her but thought I'd post or here as well.

Pretty much the only way for me to get my protein in is primarily through protein shakes. I really struggle with meat and other high protein regular foods so the shakes are really my main source. I've tried so many shakes and am down to only a few that I can tolerate. But they seem to have a lot of sugar. Given how critical protein is for us post surgery I feel like I'm making the right decision in choosing to get in my protein despite the high sugar content. Thoughts?
