Thought we could all convene here after our Feb sx so we could stay in touch....

No... It's the cereal! Look at the carbs in a small serving! Whoa!

If you figure net carbs the Special K protein cereal is not that bad. I eat it about once a week.

I agree. I watch my carbs closely and just deduct it from my daily allowance.

how many carbs is everyone eating? I wasn't given a number for this

I meant regular cereal like cheerios... In will check that out!

I feel embarrassed eating around people cause my stomach starts making funny noises. Anyone else experience the belly sounds.

The first month! And if i lie down too soon after eating my stomach really goes wild even nearly a 2 months out, but it's a lot quieter now than early on!

It happens to me too. I ask people if they can hear it and they always say no.

Yes, sometimes there's little squealing noises and air burbles coming out afterwards. I can't avoid it but luckily my Ofc mate is a young male that makes similar sounds, with no qualms so we just say excuse me and carry on. Thank goodness

I will be 8 weeks on monday as of today lost 19 pounds total, less then I have wanted, but slow is ok, don't want hanging skin. I eat 40 carbs a day, I try for 800 some times its more or less, I try to get 80 protein, adn 64 oz water, I always have a protein shake every day which is 30 grams, I use a 32 oz bpa free water jug and fill it 2 times, so I know I have to keep drinking till end of day. I have not tried raw veggies or fruit yet. Going to wait till 3 months out and then try it, I only have troubles from chicken, it sits weird on tummy, so eating seafood and alot of ground beef ( chili) these days. mary

Has everyone completely cut out alcohol?

Has everyone completely cut out alcohol?

Hi there, no I drink a glass of wine every now and again. I will tell you that I feel very dried out the next day.

Has everyone completely cut out alcohol?

I am almost 7 weeks and was told to wait 8.. I had a Malibu rum and crystal light orange (light on the flavoring.) I had no problems and did not even get a buzz. I had in large glass. Malibu is a lower alcohol content...I had one more..drank half but felt nothing... I am an ex bartender and beer drinker...a shot now and then...I could handle my alcohol pre sleeve though. In bar business 19 years..working two jobs...loved the money! If I couldn't or can't in future then I would not drink since I hate drunk girls falling down..lol. Everyone is different so it is hard to say. I am going to miss hot summer days and cold beers but not the calories.

Mandi is so right that each person is different. Im a wine drinker and now I cant get through a half a glass without feeling a bit tipsy, which is why I only drink at home late evenings.

Hi

I was sleeved on 2/14 and and down 51lbs so far! I am still having trouble with drinking enough fluid. I think I've drank the 64 oz a day 3 or 4 times since surgery. Any ideas? Ive tried every kind of flavor for my water , drinking milk and everyday I have a protein shake for breakfast

I am the same way! I was sleeved 2/19 and I know I am getting close to being dehydrated again! So frustrating. I only had about 30 oz yesterday. I feel like I am so thirsty, but just can't drink. I feel like I am full to the top! I keep trying to just sip sip sip, but not enough is getting in. I keep water with me at all times.
