So, I guess thats a bridge i have to cross when i get to it!!! lol Thanks, and i see you had dr W too!!! I think your in one of my other threads but not sure, anyway...hi, and thank you!

Depends on the context. When i refer to the gas pain i had coming out of surgery....it was literally the gas within my body. when i say im having gas pains right after surgery.....it was pains that i could feel but couldnt release....now, when i say i have gas....i need to toot

Welcome to the new posters and welcome back to the old ones Looks like we have great losses going on. Feel free to add pictures to the thread. And, don't worry about the stall's. I hear that its your body trying to catch up....I keep stalling as well. Right now im on the ball...eating a lot of protein not a lot of carbs. Today-chicken salad (about a cup-3 meals) I stayed at my moms so i stole some of her food for work. A cheese stick, some strawberrries, a ton of water, 3 hardboiled eggs...and i have a shake here at work and some almonds if i need them. keep on trucking guys....we'll all get to goal...eventually

Wow shane u look great!!!! Keep it up..u look about 15 yrs younger!

(reposting for any noobs!!!) Hope everyones doing great!!

Congrats and welcome!!! I started out researching the band...but i've heard so many horrible stories about it that I started looking into other things and came acrossed the sleeve. It seemed great and all of the stars lined up. I did it and im 6 months out and have no regrets. I love my sleeve!!! Good luck!!!!

I traveled to sc from NJ for my surg. I had it on weds august 8th and went home one week later on a wednesday, That following monday I went back to my one patient. (i do home health care) And i took another week off from my other patient just because I knew she'd be running me ragged. I was Fine with my one patient ( a child.) But i couldn't lift for a month. If your job isn't too physical you should be okay after a week.

It's going to fly by!!! I remember counting down the time and now im more than 6 months out and 70 lbs down!!! Your going to do great. If you need someone to talk to let me know!!!! Good luck!!!

...

are you getting enough protein? Protein tends to keep me fuller longer...But I still get hungry too. almost 6 months out and I still can't eat a lot so I eat, and then a couple hours later I'm ready to eat again.

I kept mine a secret until i got to my destination (myrtle beach south carolina---from NJ) Then I posted a picture of me before my Endoscopy and told everyone that my "vacation" is a "surgication" and I was going to become the skinny b***h i've always wanted to be. So, everyone knew instead of everyone bombarding me as I post pictures and saying How are you losing the weight?" I wasn't sure until that moment that I wanted to tell everyone. But, I'm so glad I did.

i used the RTD for my pre op...the no sugar added one .....now after my surgery my stomach doesnt like it. i feel horriblysick afterwards. but i did enjoy them on pre op.....well except for hating them but they weren't bad.

first off.....yes i know i shouldn't weigh myself everyday....(but seeing the scale go down makes my day!) second...yes i know i should be getting x amt of Protein everyday with that being said...my current Protein shakes are making me sick. I can't stomach them so i got the powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury and im sipping on a few other protein shakes i had from pre op. Definitely not getting anywhere near the recommended goal....eating a couple teaspoons of Soup....little bit of Jello...maybe a popsicle and have been doing very well with the Water intake the past couple days... well i was 251.2 or so wednesday morn. I was hoping for 240's thursday morning so i hopped on the scale , 250.2, i figured this morning 249.....NOPE 250.6 WHY ON EARTH DID I GAIN!? Even though im not getting my protein in, im barely eating...how did i gain? SO i just peaked before bed and im 252. I'm just not getting it. I'm drinking as much as i can. Is it the protein thats changing everything up? --i do have my TOM (but it came on b/c of the surgery) -I have been walking and doing house work...light house work SO whats up?!?!?!?!?!

i went and got the shakes today. Grape-42 g protein. They were really sweet so i mixed it with a little grape gatorade.....i drank some...dont really like it. its got a weird taste...i just went to drink more and almost threw up. I dont know what im going to do. i guess ill wait for my isopure to come in. I can't wait til mushys next week!

i saw the appletini and peach bellini ones at cvs or walgreens, i think it was walgreens!!! I'm not liking the milk protein right now and the Isopure is nasty, it makes my mouth dry. I'm thinking of the shots. I can't remember what my nutritionist said about the shots...but either way its got to be better than no protein at all until i start mushies next week!

nice! which flavor do you get? I'll go tomorrow and get them....you just drink them straight up right? I got mio yesterday for the first time, i like it. Thanks

can i get them at walmart??? not sure what they look like or what brand are the whey

Did you get in all of your Protein most days????

Thanks guys i just didn't know if i was sabotaging myself but not having the goal protein. I gained the first time i weighed in after surgery but steadily went down since so, i wasnt sure if it was b/c of the protein. I'm going to do weds weigh in's too but its so hard to not step on the scale every morning lol I was so close to the 240's i could taste it ...it feels like such a teeze

oh and ps, i ordered unjury. should be here within 2 days...

im only 8 days out so i dont know if im much help but first of all did u call ur dr? are u chewing chewing chewing? are u following the "no drink 30 mins before-30 mins after rule"? are u maybe drinking or eating too fast??? The last couple days i had to remind myself im sleeved. Took a couple big cold fast sips of soy milk yesterday and got nauseous.
