I would agree that sounds like acid reflux. I would suggest making an appt with your doc and getting him to prescribe you an acid blocker. It will help alot with the taste and block hunger that is sometimes associated with it. I hope that helps. [= good luck -d'andra

Hi everyone. I was sleeved 5/17. Im hoping that this is normal and im not a weirdo! Im able to take sip after sip when drinking my Water, tea, etc... i always hear that everyone has to take breaks and i don't. I also am able to take bites and swallow them without discomfort. I dont have to take 3 minutes between bites...is that bad?? *sorry about the half post i got busy and put my phone down and it posted anyway -d'andra

I only used it once the other day and it went fine. My doc is ok with it so i am too. -d'andra

Well i spoke to my nut and she said it was fine as long as it doesn't cause any pain. Everyone is different. -d'andra

Thank you, im glad things are going well for you too! -d'andra

Haha hope so. I was able to sip with a straw the other day too. We're elite lol [= -d'andra

Thanks love, i just meant with my nut yesterday and juice is fine just needs to be diluted. I love juice and dont want to give it up for the rest of my life. My nut says as long as its diluted i can always drink it. Thank you for your advice. [= try laughing cow ice cream its low fat and still tastes good. -d'andra

Hey guys. The title kinda says it all i got sleeved may 17th. I just came back from the doc, i lost 15pds since surgery for a combined loss of 28 pds. Im super excited and just wanted to share the good news. -d'andra

Hey everyone, im kinda new here and hoping to create some lasting friendships. Having this surgery isnt easy and there are going to be bumps in the road having someone who knows exactly what im going through is important to me. Any one else out there looking for a sleeve buddy? -d'andra

Ya know i thought about that, i'll do it. [= -d'andra

Thanks guys, i know i will get there. -d'andra

I know you will. [= -d'andra

I wish i could help more in that department but i have never been a smoker. Have you tried the Patches, there is also a pill (not sure of the name) that helps ween you off. Try this: throw out whatever packs you have and dont buy anymore. I would hate for you to have complications with surgery because of your habit. You have a decision to make, whats more important: the length of your life or a cigarette. If you can answer that question then you can quit smoking. Tap into that will power that you have and fight for your health. Its not going to be easy but anything truly worth fighting for never is. I hope things work out for you. -d'andra

Is your Protein Powder flavored, because if it is that might cause problems. Just take your time your sleeve might not be ready for that kind of protein. If the puree isnt going well then retreat back to Clear liquids and try again in a week or so. Try sugar free pudding and Jello and mix your powder with that. What exactly happens when using the powder, vomiting?? -d'andra
