Hi! Has anyone tried the Sparta protein? I was looking at the Jacked Apples!

Hi All! I had surgery on 09/24. I have a dreaded drain tube. It bothers me when I walk, when I sit, pretty much when I do anything. I have it clipped in to my binder and taped so it doesn’t pull. How many of you felt better once your drain tube was removed? Mine is scheduled to be removed tomorrow.

I had my first alcoholic drink on Valentine's Day this year. I had a bourbon and water. I was super buzzed pretty quick.

I definitely over packed. I brought a change of clothes, chapstick, gas x, a phone charger, coloring books, and toiletries. I ended up only using the phone charger and chapstick!

I've taken both DayQuil and NyQuil with no ill side effects! Hope you feel better soon!

I bought the Nija Chopper. It was 19.99 at our local target!

I was told by my surgeon to wait 3 months until having caffeine, but that I could have decaf after 1 month. I lived off two shots of decaf espresso with a caramel premier protein shake for 3 months. Now I have at least two cups a day and do fine with it! No issues!

How did you know you had a stricture? I’m almost two months out. Struggling to keep anything solid down. If I drink coffee before or after I eat I do good. It’s like the heat helps everything go down.

Called first thing this morning and spoke with the dietician at the office. She kind of brushed it off. Said I was obviously not chewing my food well enough. I explained that I chewed everything to puree consistency and that I was sticking to my meal plan. She then said she would talk with my doctor and ask him to call me. He called this evening and said he was going to schedule me for a scope. He told me to stick to liquids this week until I can have the scope done. : )

I want to try to Blueberry Muffin next!

Thank you all for the replies! Today has been a okay food day. I just have to drink something hot before eating it’s almost as if I still have the band. Calling my doctor first thing tomorrow morning.

I had my band for 6 years and converted to RNY. When I eat it’s almost painful. Like I’m not sure my food is going to go down. I wait 30 minutes and drink something warm. When I do it’s fine.

I ended up buying the jacked apple. So far I love it.

I use Stevia In the Raw and have never had any issues!

I love my apple watch! I bought it used from craigslist. It's just the series 1 but does everything I need it to. I love the activity app. There's also a icon for myfitnesspal that makes it easy to log your water.

I wore comfy clothes when I had my surgery. When I was in my gown I was naked! 🙈 However I did wear a pair of granny panties on the way there and home.

I usually order a water and bring in my own kool-aid! My husband laughs at me, but hey it works!

This sounds amazing!

It's made by Jell-O! It's the bomb! I mix it with Fairlife 2% milk and 2 scoops of Genepro unflavored!

I have both of them in my cart but afraid to make the purchase! Right now I use Quest chocolate and love it! I mix it with unsweetened vanilla almond milk.

It's a whole different feeling trust me. But when you're full you know you're full.

I had my band for 6 years. It was a very rocky road. I had my band removed in May of 2018 and my RNY on 09/24/2018. It has been a wonderful experience so far. I can feel that I am full. I am loosing weight. I'm still on pureed food and my next stage starts 10/29 and I will be on soft foods.

Oh no! When I was 2 weeks post op I fell and broke my foot! I feel your pain!

I'm almost 3 weeks out. I have found the ricotta bake to be a perfect solution for craving pizza! It is so good and satisfying.

I'm on the puree stage right now. My favorite thing to eat is egg salad and sugar free cheese cake pudding. I add 2 scoops of gene pro to my pudding when I make it. It gives me 20g of protein per serving.
