Oh Yes, sorry, i am band to sleeve and sometimes i mix it up lol....glad your doing well, i started some cream Soups yesterday and yogurt. I have only lost 10 lbs so far, getting a little stronger, how are you doing so far and what are u eating how much lost etc....glad to meet you and look forward to talking again..... vicki

thanks Irene, sometimes you wonder if your the only one this is happening to, so it is nice to hear from another sleever who reassures you your not alone...thanks again vicki and thanks to everyone who answered me, i really appreciate each and every one of you....

I did actually split it between lunch and dinner, but i felt like i could have eaten the whole thing. but the yogurt got stuck and kept coming up on me and that was about 2 hrs after the soup.

yes, i would love the recipes. although i'm not a cook, i will try....thanks yolanda

Hi sleeve, do u ever wonder if its the sleeve or the diet making you lose weight, i am wondering, cause anyone who doesnt eat food for 2 wks is gonna lose wt.... i am losing very slow too and at a stall so i was just wondering what your take is on it .....thank so much vicki

Hi jennifer, i just got your question today believe it or not, you asked me where i was being sleeved a week before our surgery. i was sleeved in buffalo, ny. on the first, how are you doing since your surgery. what are u eating, how much have u lost etc .. let me know, its nice to compare since were the same surgery date... vicki

My doctor has me using dulcolax suppositories, work like a charm everytime....

Hey i just want you to know your not alone, i am also starving all the time, i am sitting here drinking the broth from chicken Soup at a local restaurant, i will also be starting puree, egg salad, chick salad, cottage cheese, pureed soup. etc...let me know how you make out....feeling for you cause i know how you feel, vicki....

Mine are the same way, tube socks with tennis balls in them, i just wonder if they were always lumpy and we just now can feel it. i was only sleeved on nov 1, but i lost 70 lbs with the band.

thank you soooooo much, im sure you know how encouraging each and every post or answer we get back is....it just gives me the strength to keep going, and know i am not alone....

Hey pam, i havent had anything except fluids, i am suppose to start mushies on wed, i havent even had creamed soup yet! i may try a little bit today, they told me to make it a consistancy of Water and i tried, and it tasted terrible, so i figured i would wait till wed and have it right out of the can and not thinned out....what r u allowed to eat now?

go look a my post "take a minute~" and you will see your not alone....i am going thru exactly the same thing, except you lost 3 more lbs than me lol.....i guess we just have to hang in there and wait it out...HUGS to you, i know just how your feeling.....vicki

Hi Sac, i'm glad i heard from you and am sooooo greatful to hear that i am not alone, i am down 10 lbs today and to see your at 11, makes me feel like this is normal....i am suppose to start full liquids today and some thinned out mushies, does it feel wierd going into your new sleeve or just like it did before surgery.....boy i could go for a big dinner and desert , in my head, i feel like i could eat alot...lol

Oh, Believe me, that is my first priority, i still worry about a leak and am constantly worrying, but since i have nothing to do but sit and read this forum, i notice all the weight loss and asked some questions. but my healing proccess is #1 always....vicki

I am starting mushies tomorrow and my list is egg salad, chicken salad, cream of wheat , oatmeal, cottage cheese, peanut butter, creamed soups, yogurt, or any soup you can blend in a blender or bullet...good luck.......vicki

Thank you for your replies Tiff, i do appreciate all the feedback and really am going to try and do everything you suggested. I am not suppose to start cream Soup, yogurt etc until wed, but may start tomorrow. 2 0z every 15 it is...lol thanks again vicki

I drink the EAS MYOPLEX original 42 gr. prot. 300 cal, 13 gr. carbs...11 oz. there is a light version but my doc likes this one more....i get it already to drink by the case at sams club....hope this helps..oh and it is chocolate...LOL

I started drinking the Vitamin water again, and already feel dizzy and weak and hungry, so far today ive had the protien drink and orange juice and this water. sip, sip, sip..there is no way I can get in 64 oz right now....

I also should lose about 100 to get to my optimal, but am shooting for 70 LOL....... Hi Tiff, I am still in the liquid stage, no mushies till next wed. my protien shake has 300 cal and 13 carbs, 42 grams of protien, it is the EAS MYOPLEX, my doc said it was a good one it is also 11 0z. the juices are all about the same 13 and 14 carbs each serving, 8 0z with 50- 70 cal.I bought the 50 % less sugar. i gave up the clear fluids for the juice because i was so weak and depressed and once i started the juices i felt better and not as hungry, what should i change here, i'll do it whatever it is, just dont know? thank you so very much vicki I am also 54 yrs old, do u think that is hindering my weight loss too.?

I would definitely call your pharmacist, it may be a time release. even if its not a prescribed med you can call them and ask...good luck vicki:)

I drank protien shakes, skim milk, broth, Vitamin water, gaterade, but i guess it depends on your doctor. that is what i was allowed to have...oh and Jello and half juice and half water, the juice and protien shakes seem to help the most...good luck and god bless vicki PS it does get better for me it was 1 week...
