In a few weeks you will forget all about this and you will feel so much better. Just keep telling yourself you are on the road to a healthier you. Sushineis just around the corner for you.

I never had any hair loss after surgery, so I don't think it's something that happens to everybody!

I had trouble with the powdered protein drinks, but if you are near a Costco, try the liquid Premier Protein in chocolate. tastes just like chocolate milk and is much easier to handle. At this point, water is important so you won't get dehydrated. That's one thing you don't want to do. If the water makes you gag, then drop a packet of crystal Light in and it may be better. Also try a sugar free popsicle which is still aliquid diet item, but I heard makes some feel better if they feel nauseated. Try some chicken broth too and see if the warmer broth goes down any easier. Please hang in there. It will get better soon.

Wow you are doing great. Congrats!

December 14th and I am down 32 pounds and down about 2 sizes! YAY!

I can have peanut butter now, but was shocked when I read the jar to see all the sodium! Does anyone uhave suggestions for any that taste decent but are less sodium? If it tastes really bad, I would rather not even have it!

Sf pudding is part of the full liquid stage.

Wow you are amazing! From a 20 to a 2? Congaratulations!

Is it low is sodium?

You look fabulous! What a nice friend to take the time to do that for you! Awesome!

I just looked thi up on Amazon. Do they smash your boobs? Are they tight enough in the abdomen to suck it in? You still wear a bra right?

I agree that you should try room temp liquids or warm broth. Also your doctor should be able to give you an anti-nausea pill to take each morning as well as a pill to prevent acid. I found that ice cold liquids made me burp very bad and couldhardly get them done until I started leaving the ice out.

Thanks so much. They both worked!

I have a couple questions about myfitmesspal that I can't figure out. First, is there a way to add something to you diary with number of calories rather than selecting, for example, one banana, if you only have 1/2 banana, or if you only have 2 oz. of smething instead of defaulting to a selection of 4 oz? And second, is there a way to set your calorie goal for the day yourself? Mine defaults to 1,340 per day and I can't find how to set it lower. Otherwise I love the site. It makes it so easy to keep track! Thanks in advance if you can help me!

Thanks. I will try that now!

Went out to eat for the first time Firiday night. Met friends at a new Mexican rstaurant. I ordered huevos rancheros. It was HUGE! Was three layers of crisp tortilla, with two eggs and black Beans and cheese.I wasn't sure about the crispy tortillas ( since i didn't eat any chips)' so I just started at one side at forked off small forkfuls and ate slowly. Couldn't eat very much at all, but what I did eat was all protein! The main thing that was hardest for me eating out, was everyone was drinking coke or iced tea while waiting for the food, and I couldn't. That 1/2 hour both ways thing is still very hard for me to deal with! The next time I will probably try an appetiser, but they didn't really have any here that I thought I could have. I probably will eat off my hubby's plate.

I was thinking the same thing. My sleeve is not a chicken fan I am finding out, and I was a chicken fanatic before. Now I find that it tastes really stringy or something, and don't want it. As far as tuna, I have been eating the little StarKist 3 1/2 oz. pouches of ready made albacore (already mixed with mayo and very tiny diced celery you can barely see and it is great! I could eat them all the time. haven't tried red meat yet. I had 2 oz. of a pork chop last night and it was great but very tender cuz I grilled it. But i knowed I inhaled my food before so I probably never ate slow enough to taste it anyway, LOL!

Megan you look awesome! Keep up the good work. Your face even looks so much younger. Can't wait til I get to 50 lbs! I am down 32, YAY for the sleeve!

I am on 8 oz. portions of regular food, but find I cannot eat that much. last night I ate 2 oz. of a 4 oz. pork chop, about 1 oz. of baked beans, and about 2 oz. of acorn squash. i just can't get in the 8 oz. yet. elieve me you will know your restrictions when you get back to regularfood. When I was on a liquid or pureed stage, I didn't really feel full, but I would start to burp, so I knew that was enough.

I was a diet Pepsi fanatic, and my doctor kept saying how full of chemicals and how unhealthy it is and everything, so I stopped drinking it cold turkey around beginning of November. ( my surgery was Dec. 14th). My docotr said it would not stretch your sleeve, he said it would cause may cause discomfort from too much gas from the carbonation. I have no desire to go back to it now and no longer have the nightly headaches that supposedly were sinus headaches that I had for years! Although since my surgery I cannot stand the taste of plain water so I have to have it with crystal Light Fruit punch flavor. I don't even like the lemonade or pink lemonade flavors since surgery. My taste buds have changed sooo much since surgery! has anyone else's tastebuds changed drastically?

I threw away my Flexees and Spanx and will never look at any again! YAY!

Lissa, It looks cute on you! I agree all you need is a lightweight tank or cami. congrats on your progress. I always enjoy reading your posts. You are an inspirtion to me! Janet

I take the Bariatric Advantage chewable in the Passion Fruit flavor ( howver doesn't taste like passion fruit, more of a berry, but it tastes really good and no iron aftertaste?

You will do fine! Just do what your dctor says! Congrats!

No I will have to get that one next time! I love it with everything! Even a poached egg with a piece of ham lunchmeat for breakfast. I found some Oroweat MINI sandwich thins yesterday in whole wheat, for 50 cal. Each, but have no desire to try them yet since I love the Wasa so much! Not sure if I can have peanut butter yet. Will have to check Thursday with my dietician? Love peanut butter though!
