I bought strawberries, blackberries and raspberries from Sam's, ate them and felt fine and then realized I was not to have them until 3 months out. I froze them and hope the time flies because I want them bad! Sent from my iPad using VST

I was sleeved on 4/11/12, and all is wonderful, but I am starting to want different foods. My NUT says 49 days out until I can eat regular food, my surgeon seems to be way more laid back. I just want to try a bit of chicken, meat, tiny bit of Pasta, etc. So, just curious when did most of you start being able to eat anything? Sent from my iPad using VST

I paid around $14,000 in KC, MO. Mine includes everything and 3months of insurance for complications. My insurance covers it but I am on the lower side of BMI and did not meet all criteria. My heart was set on it so I did not want to jump through hoops and take a chance of being denied. So glad I went with it. Best 14,000 I have spent and I am only 5 weeks post op!

I am sick of the plain vanilla and chocolate Protein shakes so today I put the following and it was soooooo good: 3/4 cup Sunny Delight 1 scoop Vanilla Protein powder 1 Yogurt (raspberry flavored) 5-6 raspberries ice Blended it up and it is soooo good. 30g of protein and 330 calories (a bit high on calories but I am between 600-800 calories a day) Another option I have tried: 1 scoop of Vanilla Protein Powder 8 oz milk ice 1 Tbs Peanut Butter 1/2 banana 33 g of protein and 300 calories Anyone else have any other ideas.

I felt horrible from the time I got home to about day 3. Now (4 weeks later) I am all back to normal, except the eating part. I am down 25 lbs, give it time and you will not regret. Pop some pain pills. I hope you feel better soon. Sent from my iPad using VST

I cannot handle the 25 (dollar) multi-Vitamins from my surgeons office (big waste of money.). After I take them I feel I could vomit. I am taking my kids gummy vitamins, Not sure if that is all I need, I need to find a list of what I need. Sent from my iPad using VST

I was sleeved on 4/11. My surgeon has me starting mushies on Thursday, can't wait. I have been good getting my Protein and Water in the last two days. I hate the feeling of liquids going down, feels so weird. I wonder if that is because it is swollen or will this be my new normal? My large incision hurts. I still have the tape on it but no gauze bandages. When I take a shower I Saran wrap my tummy. I go see my doc Thursday. I have cued on 3 jolly ranchers because I just needed something to keep m mouth moist. I have not wanted food at all but tonight I did lick three tostitos lime flavored chips, they were good, well the seasoning was good, had to thow the chip away!

My heart hurts for your family. I am sorry for your loss.

I am 5 days out today and took my girls to the movies that is 2 miles away and was fine. My doc said not to drive until I am off pain meds and feel strong enough to stop car in an emergency. The housework is going to be put off for. Bit, little to do with surgery, lots to do with me being lazy.

Wow, not only have you lost weight but you are dropping years off your appearance! You look 10 years younger!

So glad to see this thread, I had surgery on 4/11 and have same symptoms.

Not sure if this answering your question but I have Alpine Punch in Isopure, then chocolate latte in Protein to Go, EAS protein shake powder in Vanilla and chocolate protein shake in Syntax Nectar. I love all of them. Ordered all but EAS off Amazon.

I can't wait: To wear lingerie that I wore on my honeymoon Buy adorable clothes from boutiques Run a 10k. (I have run a 5k fat) Be in pictures instead of hiding behind the camera taking the pic Run into old friends and not trying to hide from them so they cannot see how fat I have gotten To be a good role model for my daughters I'm sure there's more but that's all I can think of right now
