I hate the taste of muscle milk. Maybe it's just me but yuck!

I'll have to think of that next time. I usually have the trucks come by my door. Darn my laziness :-). Congrats on the workout and ridding yourself of old baggage.

I hear many people benefit from B12 injections. Are these administered by the surgeon who performed the sleeve, PCP, other healthcare professional, or self administered?

Other fishes in the sea!

It is typical for my surgeons office. I was not at any risk.

No need you answered my question. It must be IM at a 90 degree angle. Thanks Piplula

What gauge is the needle?

Yes this happens. I would try to take baby sips. I know it's difficult.

I have my 6 week post op appt next Monday. I'll ask him then. Do you inject them at a 90 degree angle in your Lower abdomen similar to lovenox?

I hear ya... I'm getting frustrated too. I was sleeved on 7/30/12 and am only down 29 lbs. ugghhh. I agree though I think my body is in starvation mode. I can only get like 600 cal in per day.

So it is. My bad!

According to other posts, I thought you already had the sleeve done?

See you on the other side. :-)

Wow... Your a total Hottie!

I am so tired of the extreme critical opinions I have been seeing regarding eating carbs etc. I think that a cheat here and there is healthy. I myself I have tried diet after diet, depriving myself of certain things only to lose 50lbs and gain 80 back. I think deprivation got me to the weight I was pre-op. the great thing about the sleeve is, the portion control it forces. I will not feel guilty for eating a piece of toast, a bite of Mac and cheese, or a sugary sucker, nor will I allow others to make me feel guilty.

You look great. That is a great loss in 4 months :-)

I had to inject 1x daily for 10 days, as a blood clot prevention as well.

You can also add sugar free soda the blender takes out the carbonation. I used to love adding 6oz of sugar free orange crush, ice cubes, vanilla protein powder and mandarins oranges to make an orange creamsical protein shake. It was my favorite pre-op drink recommended by my surgeons office.

I noticed I get tipsy after 1/2 a glass of wine now, however it wears off just as fast. I am almost 6 weeks post op and had my first drink at 4 weeks out. No judgement please! I don't think 1 drink will hurt.
