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

My hair grows so fast and thick will look forward to not cutting it every 4 weeks. pat

I handled the stress of my life including my special needs child with eating. Now what?? Feeling very raw will accept any help. pat

You had your sleeve done one day before me. Seems like post op diets vary. I had clear liquid first week now on mushi foods. Still having a heard time with the protein. Ordered the unflavored but with the midwest snow it has not been delivered yet. I had a hiatal hernia repaired at the same time so I stayed 2 nights. Looking forward to no snow an iceto get out and about more. I am misssing the Diet Pepsi! pat

I am here in St. Louis! My sleeve was done 1/26 at Depaul by Dr. Scott. Going well till the snow storm and the kid is home so much for recuperating.

Holy crap I am with you. I had a hiatal hernia done a well andd it took then 21/2 hour to do it. Thi burping was the feeling I got from the hernia. I am not getting the protein in the water is ok. Also my not back asthma wi the wore it has been. Cannot walk too far without stoping. sorry for the typing acouple of my keys are sticking.

Wow congratulations! You can do it! Don't focus on the next 100 just focus on feeling better! Good luck and keep us posted. pat

When are you ok to add frozen strawberries to the whey prtein smoothies?

I have a date and I am so ready to get this going. I am a 50 year old with a 8 yr special needs girl I adopted as a single parent and need to keep up with her. I so want to ice skate with her and maybe this summer go swimming with her instead of finding others to take her all the time. But mainly I want to feel better! Bending over is such a big thing now and I just want my body to stay up with my mind. Will keep you posted and please tell me any suggestions you have. Thanks

I am scheduled for January 21, 2011 for my sleeve. Super excited! pat

Hoping to be in January as well. All of my forms were sent yesterday to the insurace company! Seems like I have had so many hoops for the insurance company already. Hop an New Year and a new life!
