Hi there, I was sleeved in mid Jan 2012. That was a concern if mine then too. Any foods or beverages containing any aspartame or etc.... (fake sugars) would trigger my migraines. I tried stevia & one other product that is somewhat natural because it's made from sugar but they would hurt my stomach. My nutritionist told me to dilute my beverages/ juices with water. I couldn't always dilute the frozen items. I would limit some or i would for example thaw out a Luigi lemo Italian icy,add water to dilute (equal parts water to the amount of icy) & refreeze in a slight larger container . I stuck with mostly broth, water, diluted apple juice, decaf unsweetened herbal teas (which helped me alot especially peppermint & spearmint) & I limited the jello. It worked out. I'm 4 months post-op & 70 lbs lighter. Don't worry it will work out. If anyone has more info I would love to hear & try out.

Help Not Loosing Anymore
NEWMsLovely replied to patkaye's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hi there! I was sleeved in Jan. 2012 & I have experienced the same. Last month I was pushing myself to workout 3-4 days out of the week, getting my 60-70 grams of protein, water & etc.. & lost 15lbs. I felt like I should have last more but my nutritionist advised me to INCREASE MY FIBER, EAT EVERY 2-3 HOURS & GET MORE REST. In 1 weeks time I lost 8 lbs. I really think the rest has helped me the most. I was always on the go & stressing myself. Stress makes you hold on to fat. Maybe this could be of some help to you. -
20 Ways To Tighten Skin After Weight Loss
NEWMsLovely replied to JimmyGotSLEEVED's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I have one more & I think it could actually fall under #17 Don't Tan but make sure you use your sunscreen everyday. Even for people of color. The Oil of Olay Moisturizer w/ SPF 15 is really good (not oily either). -

I actually caught the Gladiator on sale for $40 & a free med gladiator shake. I figured I could save a few dollars that way instead of visiting Smoothie King after leaving the gym 3-4 days out of the week. It's been kind of hard for me to find a decent tasting whey protein powder w/o aspartame (which triggers my migraines). Thank you for the GNC tip! -

I will keep the whey isolate in mind on my next purchase. Did the body builders name any in particular? -

I'm currently using the Gladiator Whey Protein (vanilla) from Smoothie King & it's pretty good. I needed a switch from the muscle milk. -

You look absolutely wonderful & you are doing a good job. Very inspiring! -
I'm 3 mos post op & have experienced the same symptoms (light headed, dizzy, sweats). I've even had to lye down on the stairwell w/ shirt off until it passes. Never knew why I felt that way & would forget to tell my doctor during my visits. I has gotten a little better though.

Starbucks/ Panera Suggestions
NEWMsLovely replied to susiegotsleeved's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
At Starbucks you can decide for yourself what you'd like. The good thing is you can always request DECAF and you can also request your beverage SOY or SKINNY.
