Did you feel this way before puréed foods. I ask because some puréed foods do that to me. For example I can not eat mashed potatoes.

As for as calcium, I use the toffee chews and they are a daily treat. You are not

Limited to liquid.

Before puree food I felt pain in my tummy with every swollow of liquid. Now I dont feel it anymore. The acid reflux is terrible and I think I am constipated. I feel like I want to go but I just cant

A daily dose of miralax will keep it soft and not cause cramps. Make sure you keep you fluids up

I confess I love your confessions but I have only been sleeved for one week. Not much to confess but your all very entertaining. I guess time will tell if I have confessions!

11 Weeks Post Op:

1. I think I am a slow loser and should have lost more by now. (but I'm still THRILLED with the results thus far)

2. I probably eat WAY TOO MUCH cheese. (it is the easiest and most satisfying as of right now)

3. I work with a personal trainer 3x's a week but the days I don't, I do not work out at all.

4. I have had chicken nuggets from McD's. (out of convienence)

5. I'm frustrated with being a size 18.

6. I don't get all my Water and Protein in.

7. I can't wait until I can see my collarbones. :)

8. I am kind of tired most days.

9. This has been the best thing I've done for myself in ages!!!

10. I can't wait to go on the ultimate shopping spree!!!!

Since you are having trouble getting liquids down, try a suppository instead. Believe me, it works!

I confess that i am sick n tired of this sleeve

I. Confess i can not eat more than a bite or sip before i cant take the pain anymore

I confess that i havent been taking my Vitamins or Protein Shakes as i should (a little but not enough)

I confess that i cant bare the taste of my liquid Calcium

I confess that i wouldnt wish gas indigestion or acid reflux on anyone

Have you talked to your doctor? It shouldn't hurt that much

why liquid protein? I eat three castrate fudge squares a day and they are delicious!

I went.to er and they said I was fine my dr perscribed nexium and I pray it works

Stool softener !!!!! I was WAY constipated ! Hurt like hell lol

I felt like I was sitting on a brick...it's not nice.

Ok I wasn't gonna do it for fear of being judged but WTH here goes...

1) I have had some wine

2) I have had some chocolate.

3) I have started smoking again

4) I would kill for a Big Mac with extra sauce

5) I have had anxiety attacks post surgery.

I know, I know. All I can say is this is so much more than I anticipated. I am adjusting but this is a HUGE change. I didn't underestimate the commitment but I didn't fully realize the entire impact. I know I will succeed but obviously not without testing some limits.

I've had a few M&M's a couple of times.......scared to death to touch wine but think about having some alcohol OFTEN!! Were you able to tolerate it well?

why liquid Protein? I eat three castrate fudge squares a day and they are delicious!

What are castrate fudge squares and where do you buy them?

They Re caltrate squares. I bought mine on line but I believe you can get them at vitamin stores and grocery stores. There is chocolate, lemon, raspberry and my favorite .chocolate fudge. About 12.99 a bag.
