Anyone else out there with a September Sleeve????

I got my sleeve on my Birthday, Sept 29. I'm on Stage II foods (full liquids). So far everything is great. My incisions are still a bit sore, but that will pass.

I use protein powders and always put more water or liquid in that it requires. Since everything is still so sweet to me, it tastes okay that way. I put crystal light in 32 ounces of water instead of 16 and make all kinds of herbal teas, hot and cold. I found some low cal spiced cider and swiss miss hot choc that has only 25 calories and it add it to warm skim milk. I used to be able to drink lots of plain water but can't seem to take it after four or five cups and have to have a change of pace. I found crystal light clones in wally world that had orange juice and apple juice flavors. I really like those since I haven't had juice since I was diagnosed with diabetes seven years ago. Yum!

Sometimes I have to visualize all that water flushing fat out and it starts to taste a little better. Not much but enough to get another cup or two down

I had my sleeve on Sept 24, 2010 and as of today Feb 10th, I'm doing pretty good. So far I've lost 74 or 75 pounds. It was the best thing I ever did. I'm feeling lots better.
