I am 7months out and just started to have one 1-2x week. Saved alot of money on not buying them! But must first meet my water intake. pat

I will do a 1/2 banana with peanut butter or apple with PB. Also found a gummy fiber pill and it works like a champ. Good luck! Pat

I liked the grape. But your taste buds do change after surgery. I just ordered different flavors at everymeal in the hospital and took home at least 4 because I could not finish it. That way you don't have to pay to try them. pat

I just had it done this Monday. You have sedation given to you by anesthesia. I would not trust myself to make any decisions after it. Came home and slept 3 hours. pat

The only one that I could stomach was the grape. They are nasty pat

Congrats you made a smart choice!

Up to this week I have not felt hungry! I was sleeved 1/26/2011. food is just work and would rather drink as well. Plus I fill so fast with food. Having issues with many things wanting to stay down. pat

I am no expert. But I found myself so stressed since surgery because it was my coping skill for stress and now it was removed. I went back to the psychologist that did my pre op to help me deal with it. I am so glad I did it is so much easier to unload to a stranger. Do it! pat

I had my surgery 1/26/11. I have just had 4 bites of a hamburger and I am over stuffed. I stopped my fluids 30 minutes ago and chewed at least 25 times. The same thing happens with chicken. Is this normal? pat

http://www.youbars.com/buildabar I came across this place to make your own. Have not tried them but thought I would pass it along. pat

Doing a alpine punch today. Grape is my favorite but I find that if you pour it over ice and leave it to dilute alitte they are all better. They taste very sweet to me. pat

Not really a easy way out. You need to monitor your intake and exercise. It does help that your stomach cannot handle too much and if you over do then there is a price to pay. It is just the same except the stomach has a new fill line. Now 5 weeks outs I can't believe how much I used to consume. Plus it has gotten me to try new foods I never would have. Best part right now is my energy level is 10x what it was 5 weeks ago! Pat

I am having the same sticking issues. Plus a noise that I hear. Had a upper gi and it was ok now they want to scope me as well. Doc believes it is reflux.. Good luck to you! pat

Since being sleeved 1/26/11 I have had to taste the worst things I have ever had to in my life. Between the vitamins, liquid lortab, liquid carfate, protein powders and now I got a "shot" of liquid protein that tastes like dirty socks. This must be a form of punishment for tasting everything good I had before surgery. Feeling like I am going to have hair grow on my chest from it all!!!!!!! Pat

I am just over a month out of getting my sleeve. Seriously I can't seem to get the water, protein and then not drink for 30 minutes before and after trying to eat something in a day. It is rather exhausting. I just fininshed 3 saltines with ham on it and have reset my timer on the phone to wait for my 30 minutes to be up to drink again. I just bought a power protein at GNC that is 100ml with 42 grams of protein in it to get my protein in. Has anyone else tried these? pat
