So nobody else has anything on their mind?

Please post them. I am not into cooking and I would appreciate any easy recipes !:crying:

I went alone because I had nobody who could go with me. It was not a big deal. I was bored more than anything else. Dr. Campos let me use his lap top and that kept me from going stir crazy.

I don't really eat solids all that often. I stayed on mushies longer just because it was very difficult for me to get used to eating solids. I made taco meat with ground turkey with sour cream and light salsa and ate a little bit of that every day at first. I also ate a little bit of egg salad at first. I am 3 months out and still sometimes have no appetite. It will come back. Just eat what sounds good to you, and be prepared to only be able to eat a few bites. It's normal. I also eat half a Protein bar sometimes when nothing else sounds good.

Yes , just call the number on the side of the screen. You will be assigned a patient coordinator. They will email you a lot of questions and a medical evaluation. If you want November, they will tell you what dates are available.

Who knows how to make Korean food? I hope you don't think I do. I can barely cook. It's one reason I drink so many protein drinks.

Welcome to Vertical Sleeve Talk. We all wish you success in your journey.

Glad you're home and on the mend. Hope you're doing okay on the post op diet.

Oh, I have never heard of that one.

I usually eat left overs too. I also really like those little cans of chicken salad. Sometimes I take a slice of Virgina baked ham and roll it over a low fat colby jack cheese stick or a LF String cheese. I almost always have a doggie bag of something from going out to dinner over the weekend,and I am able to get 2 more lunches out of it.

TT= tummy tuck? or something different?

I think she will be back eventually. She is a board junkie like me, so I think she will come back now and then. that is just my opinion. I do plan to ask her next time I talk to her. I am having trouble with the Dr. Aceves board. Do they not update it frequently? The same posts have been there since I looked on fri. and the posts i made are not there yet. It said it had to be approved by a moderator. I wonder how long that takes?

Hello, nice to meet you! Glad you found us. Where is your blog?

wheeewww! I hate clothes shopping but I do consider it a necessity .

A nudist group? Are you planning to visit there while I come to visit? I'll just stay home and watch tv or go shopping. I don't need any more clothes but I wear them just the same.

I made egg salad on mushies and it went down great. I could not eat very much, but it was easy to eat. Boiled eggs, low fat mayo or miracle whip light, and a tiny bit of mustard.

Yes, I am post menopause but I take hormones. I feel pretty dead today. This getting hardly any sleep is going to kill me.

I don't see the point of twitter at all, and like VA, between here and facebook, that's about all I can handle.

I take a probiotic. It really helped me when the people at the health food store told me to take it on an empty stomach. 2 hours after meals and one hour before a meal.

You have no idea how badly I wish I could get 8 hours of sleep per night.

Oh way cool. $100 is way better than $300. Maybe VA can get me a deal since she said she's a member of JC

you really can eat anything you want with the sleeve, just not very much of it. Getting full really fast really takes your mind off food for hours. You are going to have to decide how much you really want to lose weight, because you will still be able to eat chips and candy, etc. I am very big into exercise. I am sure I could have gone back to weight training sooner than 6 weeks, but I was out of town for quite awhile after surgery and didn't want to pay for another gym. Feel free to ask as many questions as you need to.

Manatee, I had surgery on a wed and I could have easily gone back to work on Mon. I actually think I could have gone back on Fri but Dr. Aceves makes you stay in the hospital for 3 days. The main problem is the post op (you know the drill) liquid diet. Some people are really tired, but I think that's mainly if you can't fine a Protein drink that you like. For me, recovery was non existent.

My bf has been going through a lot of stress. His family is really dysfunctional. Instead of sharing with me, he's just really moody and quiet. I know the stuff he is going through is really painful, but at the same time, I am really sick of the way he shuts down. I sent a message to a guy on another dating site. he wrote back and asked for a picture. I sent a little newsy email, and sent a picture. I have not heard back from him. I don't know whether to wait, or send him another message and if so, what to say. Vegas Angel, you can see the picture on my fb page. It's the only picture I have of me that I can send. I am really camera shy and take lousy pictures. Even though I am a size 10-12, I still look really fat in pictures. I really need some advice here. I would like to send a little message and ask if he'd like to meet for coffee, cause you can't tell much from a picture or an email. Is anyone good with this sort of thing? Should I wait another couple of days? I sent the picture yesterday. The email he had sent was really nice, and he didn't seem like someone who was all hung up on looks. This has happened to me before, where I have corresponded with men, then as soon as I sent the picture, all emails just stopped. Please give me your advice!:sad0::001_wub:

oh that's one I have really tried to get into, and absolutely can't. Hey I went out of town today and ran into Suzanne at costco. Crazy. I had to drive 100 miles to go to Chase bank to take care of some issues with my dad's account so I decided to stop at Costco cause not only do we not have Chase bank here, we don't have Costco either.
