Thanks. Same for you.

I was advised to contact my Dr. if I had worsening shoulder or neck pain. Probably just gas but it could be signs of a leak.

OMG 6 months to a year!!!! I will be bald by then!!!! EEEEEKKKKK!!!! ;(

Yes I have and do. Ummm I was probably 4 weeks out. I tolerate them just fine. Give them a try

DANG girl you're HOTTTTTT!!!!!

Me me me!!!! I got way off track this past week . I was sleeved 8/26 and have only lost 30 pounds. I need to.get back on track and kick up the weight loss!

I added more calories and downed my carbs. Seems to be working.

I am an RN. I work on a medsurg floor as well as in labor and delivery. Congrats on soon getting your RN!!!

I also have a sleeve of steel!!!! Maybe it's a nurse thing???? I have been able to tolerate everything I've tried. I agree, a bleesing and a curse. I wish I had less of a tolerance for sugar!!! What kind of nursing do you do?

I am 10 weeks out. I am constantly craving mustard, vinegar and diet Pepsi. Separately that is. What are your cravings? Past or present.

Haha! Yummy:)^^^^^

Have you maintained your loss?

I am 10 weeks out. Of course for the first five weeks or so I found it difficult to reach 600 calories in a day. But it has totally changed the past couple weeks. I am so hungry. Especially at night. I am finding it really difficult to eat 800 or less calories a day. I am a night shift nurse. I contribute my night time hunger to my odd wake/sleep cycle. For example I ate 900 calories today and as I type my stomach is loudly growling and I am hungry. What are your most filling foods? Any advice is much appreciated

Attribute not contribute.....silly auto correct!

They stay. However there are disolvable ones. But I believe most surgeons use medical grade titanium staples.

Yummy! I think we will have that tonight. Thanks!

What temp do you bake it at?

I also have. I'm 10 weeks out and 40 pounds down. My lower back has been killing me the last week and a half. Not sure why...

You're not a wimp. It was very uncomfortable for me too. I spent the first week out sleeping my nights on my couch. It is most likely gas. But if it increasingly painful and you aren't getting any relief, you may want to contact your Dr. Shoulder pain can be indicative if a leak. Leaks are extremely rare so try not to worry. But if you feels worse you should contact your Dr. xoxoxoxo

They have carmel ones and vanilla ones too...yummy!!!

Do you use? I am anemic so I take 120mg daily. I am using Bariatric Advantage right now but its so expensive. Looking for an alternative that will work. Thanks!

Thanks!!!!

I can totally relate! You sound exactly like I did when I got home from the hospital. Contact your physician for an antinausea medication. It saved my sanity. Your sleeve is very swollen and irritated. I had the horrible spasms too. When you get them just stop drinking for a bit. It was extremely hard for me to get my water and protein in the first 4 weeks. Just do the best you can. Yes you need that prilosec. It will help your sleeve heal. Dump the contents into a spoonful of applesauce, pudding or yogurt. And work on getting it down slowly. It will take a while. Warm liquids are great too. They seemed to go down easier in the beginning. Good luck.

Do they exist? All the protein bars I have looked at have tons of calories and carbs. Sure hoping to find one that's low in carbs and calories!!!! Any suggestions?
