She's in the hospital. She updated on her thread about her story.

Honestly, if I had to guess, I would say like a shot glass. I just pour a bunch in. I know you can get PB2 at vitacost.com They have everything there. I keep telling people about that website, because any time I am looking for anything, they have it. And, their shipping is free if you order $49 which is easy to do. I get my oh yeah Protein bars there, all my Vitamins and supplements, and my protein powders.

mdefabio, you're doing great! You're really rockin your sleeve!

She has fluid in her lung, among other problems. Hoping for an update soon. She went for more tests today. I'm wondering if they decided to keep her in there.

Most surgeons will tell you carbonation stretches the sleeve. Then we have people here that have had their surgeon say it doesn't. I choose not to drink it because I don't like diet anymore, and regular soda is too fattening. I don't like the chemicals they put in diet soda. I only drink things with stevia now because after reading about artificial sweeteners, it's not anything I want in my body.

vitacost.com is free shipping over $49. They are by far the cheapest on so many things. I use Sytrax Matrix Protein powder. It's the lowest calorie and only 2 carbs for 25 grams of protein. comes in all sorts of flavors. They also make the nectar products. Vitacost sells them all. I get all my protein powders and bars there, and all my Vitamins and supplements. If you send me a PM , I can get you $10 off your first order.

I hope this 60's forum is an active one. I'll be turning 60 next month. I still love my sleeve, and sometimes can't believe it's been 3 years already. I wish I still got full on a few tablespoons of food the way I did the first year though. It takes a lot more will power now. I am determined not to gain back anymore weight though. I was 5 lbs below goal, and now I am 5 above goal. It's really hard :-(

This last year has been very difficult for me to keep my weight off. I can eat so much more than I could at one year or even 2 years. It's so easy to eat with friends, and over eat, by not being conscience of my portions sizes. It takes a lot more will power more than it did before, not to snack, and not to have dessert, when everyone else is snacking and having dessert. There are so many functions where food is being served and everyone is eating. I wish it were like it was in the the beginning, where one chip made me feel like I ate the whole bag or one spoonful of food and I was stuffed for the night.

What is Instagram?

I mix mine with half Hood carb countdown and half Water. I use Matrix from Sytrax. Very low calorie, very low carb. then I add the sf syrups. I like toasted marshmallow, coconut, peppermint, and hazelnut. Next I plan to try ammarito (sp?) I have banana cream, chocolate, vanilla, and orange cream by Matrix. They are all good.

What is Instagram?

Are you doing better since you're trying apple sauce? Does this mean the spasms have stopped? I am hoping to hear things have improved a little bit in some way.

What happened to this thread? Is anyone else having trouble staying on track? I know the new people do so well with tracking their food, and eating tiny portions. It's so easy in the beginning. Now, I am around people that eat whatever they want, all the time. It's so easy to throw in a handful of chips, or a couple Cookies, etc. The scale is creeping up, and I have to stay on track. I refuse to buy bigger clothes. I need to tape my mouth shut.

I don't see any ads. I use firefox with an ad blocker. I have never seen an ad.

Where are you going in Mexico?

Gee that's strange. I had an iud and never had any pain what so ever. All my friends had them. My daughter has one, and both my daughter in laws have them.

I had an IUD years ago. I know it was hormone free. I loved it. No muss, no fuss. I finally had it taken out and my husband had a vasectomy. My friend has never had hers taken out. Her GYN told her, "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" I personally would want it taken out. She's had it in for nearly 30 years! Is there any particular reason your husband can't get a vasectomy? The recovery is quick, and then the two of you could be worry free from then on.

Right in the right hand corner is a search bar. Put his name in and you'll find plenty of posts about him.

You have to buy it online. just google it.

I'm not sure if I'd see a primary doctor about it. Do you have a GYN that you go to for Pap tests? They are more experienced with these types of things.

nope, no preop diet for me either.

A lot of people have trouble getting anything down for a few days and aren't even hungry It's not usually a problem. You'll have to find some kind of Protein you can tolerate while you're on the clear stage. It's the protein that keeps you from getting hungry. unjury makes a chicken soup broth that I believe has 25 grams of protein. There's also Isopure, which is 40 grams per bottle.

what do you mean by adding people?

Gee, that was not my experience at Red Lobster at all. We went there, and got one of their meals that had 2 things,(salmon and shrimp) and told the waitress we wanted to split it. She split all the food, and the salad, each on our own plate. She brought it to us that way. There was no split charge at all. I don't think the slit fee was the reason for no tip here. His food was brought to him by someone different that who took the order. They were ignored, and had bad service. Who would he be tipping? The person who took his order, or the one who brought the food without an extra plate? I wouldn't go back there either, unless it was fabulous food that I would really miss. If that were the case, I would have complained.

So sorry you have to deal with this. My mom was diagnosed at age 60, so it freaks me out. I'll be 60 in Oct. My mom died at age 82 and she was cancer free for years and years. Sending prayers and healing thoughts your way!
