SLEEVEDNBEAUTIFUL

Congrats on your lost. Now when u get on that bike and your dark ready to hit the road take a picture with a HUGE smile on your face. I'm excited for you.

Congrats on you lost.

I use unsweetened almond milk and a shaker bottle. I have no froth. However if I use Water it is heavy with froth. Try a shaker bottle.

Now you have come to far to quit. If I was easy we all would have done it on our own. Continue to stay focused. You will be able to eat it sooner than you think. Who knows you may not even like it anymore. Anything that you cant have right now GET RID OF IT.

I was sleeved 5wks ago. I have lost 20 since surgery and been in a stall for 3 wks. I was weighed at the doc off. I have refused to buy a scale until I am 3months out.

I have refused to purchase a scale right now. I will when I am 3months postoperative.

I was sleeved 9/24/12. Lost 20 since surgery. I have been stalled for 3 wks.

Praying for you. I understand what you are going thru. My husband was on the list for a heart and I now I have had a sleeve. Just know that I will be in the operating room praying for you. Sending GODS blessings and speed your way. You are loved. HUGGGGGGGGS

It gets better. Keep moving. Try not to stay resting.

I was great I thought at 1 week. I went to the grocery store and was weak and dizzy. By week 2 I felt better. I find that when im out i feel better with water. I keep a bottle with me at all times. When i feel dizzy i drink. I am now 5 weeks out and I have no issues. I don't go back to work until 11/21 but I am ready. I didn't drive until my 4th week op. I had just one incision that bothered me so I decided to take it easy.

Well in sure every clinic loves when we purchase the products from them however you need to find one that you can handle. Talk with your nut. Some adjustment need to be made. My liquid diet was sf Jello, pudding, broth, water, shakes, and any sf drink not including carbonated drinks. Go onto unjury.com they have recipes on making shakes taste different.

Thanks for this post, very helpful.

No broth or sf Jello? What brand shakes are you using? Everyone likes something different. I like EAS carb advantage and premiere RTD shakes. I have tried unjury and chike but I like the RTD shakes the best.In the shakes try adding sf powdered pudding mix it helps with the taste and blend with a lil ice. Will be frothy if made with water. I used unsweetened almond milk no froth with that. In your water try sf haiwaiin punch or crystal light.

Are you on total liquids? If so what else can you have beside vanilla shakes? Your electrolytes are off and that happens with preop diet. Tell us what else is included in your preop diet and we will help you along. Remember you must follow what your surgen/nut has set for your journey.

I am a 5 wks out. I do have the belching and it is when I'm full, hungry, and more when constipated . My gurgling has stopped. I felt the fullness with liquids but everyone is different. If I drank to much I would get nauseous so I started paying attention to what restriction felt like. When you get there you will know. But don't really worry about restriction or fullness while on liquids is what I was told by my surgeon/nut. I still don't feel hungry unless I have gone all day without any intake. Bad as it is I have done this. It's hard to get everything down sometimes especially when I'm constipated. TMI but it's so true.

That's great. Keep it up!!!!!

I follow you and it's always a blessing. Thank you for your inspiration.

You are doing so great keep it up.

Yes it is. I was told that if I couldn't move I would be admitted.

I chose not to use the smooth tea because my surgeon said to stay away from stimulant producing laxatives. But this is terrible so I may need to do it.

I requested u all. How are ur ladies doing since surgery? How much have u lost since surgery? I have only lost 20lbs been staled for 2.5 wks. No problems with surgery or recovery. Just major constipation. Im able to digest water and protien with no problems.
