February/March 2014 sleevers

_{Thanks Darianna. I will have to wait and see if or how much of a problem I have after I stop the Protonics. The Dr said I can take Prilosec after I stop the Protonics. I do know that uncontrolled acid /GERD can cause esophageal cancer so keeping it in check will be my goal.}

_{Hows everyone else doing?}

still sloooow going. I take protonix twice daily and will continue forever. Lol. I suffered from GERD pre-surgery. I was put on Iron but can't take it. I was so constipated because of it that I didn't poop for over a week. That's taking 3 stool softeners a day and milk of mag. I need to be more active, but I have no energy. None. I'm taking bariatric Vitamins, Vitamin D and B12 injections and I'm so tired I can barely lift my head once I get home from work. I feel that if I were more active I'd lose more steadily but all I wanna do is rest.

Same here. I used to have tons of energy postop, but I have been dragging ass. I sometimes feel myself nodding off at work. No bueno.

I'm glad this thread has resurfaced . In regards to reflux, I just took my last of the recommended prescribed antacid this week. I still feel like I might take some OTC stuff though because i do still get that burning feeling in my stomach that tends to imitate hunger.

I just passed two months out on the 5th and I've lost 65 lbs. Obviously I am thrilled about that, but still got a lot to go though. Exercise has really pushed me though a lot quicker. Some weeks I lose a lb a day, some weeks it seems like it's only 2 lbs a week. So bumping up exercise breaks those "stalls".

This was happening to me and doc said it was my low Protein levels. When I upped my protein (over 100g is what I shoot for now) I felt a zillion times better. Hope that helps.

April how many carbs do you eat ? I felt that way and I had to bump mine up a little and now I feel better with the tired. I aim for 50-60 a day and my Protein averages 85. I still get dizzy if I bend over and stand up to fast though!! I don't do b12 injections I have little b12 melts that I take for energy boost if needed. And I drink chike coffee protein everyday

On average my carbs are around 50. Sometimes way less. And it's very rare I don't meet my Protein goals. If my carbs are over that I will not lose. I'll bump by protein and see what happens.

Wow how do you manage 100g of protein? That's like 4 Protein Shakes a day for me.

I'm struggling with food ideas...sick of eating the same old things. What kind of high Protein meals are you guys eating?

Jennie-O seasoned turkey burger patties on a low carb tortilla with cheese and a little mayo and mustard, chicken patties, morning star black bean patties dipped in ranch. I sautée a little chicken and add shredded cabbage (I buy the bagged cole slaw cabbage that's already shredded) and soy sauce, pop a lid on it and once it's done it tastes like the inside of an egg roll. Shrimp sautéed with garlic or other spices. Flatizza from subway. Make a small pizza out of a low carb tortilla. Ribs, easy on the sauce. Mainly meats

[Darianna75 131]

I need some idea for no meat proteins.. I was a total meat lover before sleeve but not my sleeve has decided that it hates ALL meat., I feel like I'm living on cheese and yogurt and Protein coffee lately!! Ugh

I eat a lot of fish. Grilled or Broiled Or shrimp. Also still love grilled pre coked southwestern style chicken with avocado Or Shelly's taco pie.
