Well on a sad note....I lost my baby over the weekend. Had nothing to do with the surgery was doing very well it just happens sometimes! Thanks everyone for your advice and support!

I am doing ok! I have become very sensitive to a lot of milk products but I can seem to drink the powder Syntrax 5.0 protein powder mixed with water. No morning sickness so I am very lucky there. Will be going in fro my appointment on Tuesday. I found that if I just graze through the day I can get more calories in. Thanks everyone for your support.

So I am lucky to get in 1000cal I was never low carving so ok there tested to see if was in ketosis just to make sure! My question is why did they say no protein shakes? They told me to drink 2 to 3 a day! Feeling good just some fatigue!

I am about 10 weeks out of my band to sleeve revision and doing well lost 31 lbs so far (115 lbs total with band). And then yesterday I found out I was pregnant!! This is the reason I wanted to lose the weight and get healthy and yes it is a great blessing I could not be happier. But I am scared to death! I am losing about 2 to 3lbs every week and they want that to slow down a bit. So they want me to eat more......WHAT eat more I cant get down the crap I need to eat NOW. Drs. want me to drink at least 3 Protein shakes and 3 to 4 meals a day.....it is impossible. So if anyone has any ideas or have gone through this please HELP! I am stopping the personel training and the gym will just take walks around the block. I think this might be a lot worse then the 30 day post op diet:001_tt2:

Good luck with drinking while exercising. I have no problems drinking fluids at all....until I start to exercise....I dont think I even get down 4oz. And before I was sleeved and exercised I would down a 32oz bottle of Water at the gym...that is the only thing I miss. I exercise pretty intense and I think I am breathing so hard that when I drink I am also taking in air into my stomach it is very uncomfortable.

So it will be 2 months for me on the 8th of June and I have lost 28lbs I was at the same weight as you when I had my surgery plus I had lost 84lbs already from the lap-band. So I don't believe I am losing super fast but a very steady pace for me. So far I have had no stalls I have lost at least 1 pound every week. So yes you can do this no problem just stick to what the doctor says and drink your protein and water 2 most important things in your life now...and stay active.

Ok so I have fitness pal, The daily plate(livingstrong), and Lose it. I am an Iphone junkie so I thought I would try this Fat Secret you all mentioned went on the computer and registered it was ok.....but then downloaded the Iphone App and now I am in LOVE. It has a barcode reader for the Iphone so the food I am eating all I do is scan the barcode with my phone and there it is. Never found one easier. Going around scanning everything in my house...hahahah I find this way more accurate then any of the other sites because it matches every product. What a wonderful App.

I know my acid is real bad. I take 1 prilosec in the am no eating or drinking for 20 min then I am suppose to take Gaviscon at 12 noon no matter if I have acid or not then another prilosec about 9pm. Dr.Aceves said a big acid problem ( I know most of us won't like this) is chocolate! All my protein shakes are chocolate and sometimes I was sucking on some sugarfree chocolates. He told me to stop all products with cocoa. I have been a good girl and have followed doctors orders and have had no episodes at all.

I do take it and it helps but since I switched from Nexium to Prilosec I have not had as much of a acid problem or maybe it was because I was eating the rolaids like candy and the Dr was right and I was just causing myself to make more acid. But I have been acid free for about 4 days now.

I am having a big problem with acid I now take Prilosec twice a day plus I was taking some rolaids in the middle of the day. So I let Dr. Aceves know how bad it was and this is the reply Gaby sent me..... The doctor is out of town, but I called him he says to please do not take any Rolaids do not take Calcium carbonate products (TUMS, Rolaids, those type products. They will help immediately but in a few hours they will create more acid than you had to start with. He wants you to try Gaviscon.

21 lbs.....you are awesome!!! Get your protein shakes in girl don't make me come to Philly and kick your butt!

Not a good source of protein those are the vials and they use collegen protein.....NOT GOOD!!!:001_tt1: It is a very low protein....on the protein scale of 0-100 it is at the bottom.....Whey Isolate Protein is like a 98....Please do not buy any more of those. I bought 36 vials from bodybuilding.com and returned all of them....read the lable if anywhere on there says collegen return them.

I am so glad you are doing well your wightloss is wonderful. How are you doing with getting your protein in??? I am on mushies now and I still drink more then I eat because it is easier for me I get to full after 1 or 2 bites of mushies so I dont end up getting enough. Hope everyone is doing well.

Congrats Wendy....Walk...Walk...Walk!!!
