What do you consider cheating? I ate three shrimp for lunch and was wondering if I was cheating but I didnt hurt and my sleeved liked it...

I have tried malt-o-meal. It is really good and feels me up really fast! I didn't have gas or bubbles but I would think the bubbles come from taking in too much air. I also eat with a baby spoon.

Wow that must have been some type of protein shake...I wonder how much did he take in...I am able to drink 8 oz at a sitting but my stomach doesn't hurt...I think you will know if you have over done anything because you will probably feel pain!

I have United Healthcare as well but bariatric surgery is an exclusion...I guess it is because my employer chose that...but nevertheless, I got it done...

I love your post and this is exactly how I feel! My husband had me laughing so hard yesterday at all the attention he was giving me before I left...it is funny and he knows I am not going anywhere. He was even showing off my picture that I took on my cell phone at an all guys gathering...LOL! Too funny...and its only been 13 days!

Well congratulations! I am glad you are doing so well...keep up the good work! I just joined My fitness Pal but I am just transferring to the mushies stage and don't really consume enough food to make an entry yet. As soon as I make it past these six weeks it will be my new best friend! LOL!

Argnewcan...I had the same experience. Your luck will continue...we have just begun the most significant journey in our lives...

Those sound like some pretty good rewards...I need to set some for myself....now you really got me thinking! Well have fun and keep up the good work!

Wow Congratulations! Im sure once you start an excercise routine you will tone up in no time!

Well Congratulations and I will see you on the side of hotness...lol!

Well Congratulations! I totally feel you on wanting to be able to dance again...I can't wait...I can't dance longer than 2-3 minutes without getting tired...I was wondering how could this be???LOL!

Congratulations! I have UHC but they wouldn't cover any of my expenses...therefore ended up being self pay! I was sleeved July 2nd and I love it...I'm sure you will too...good luck!

Wow...that is what I call Progress for sure! I can't wait to be able to post a pic like that....

I am glad you are home and doing fine...It does get easier really fast. I know you have probably read that a thousand times but it is true!

I just noticed your surgery was July 3rd and mine was done on July 2nd. Did you go to First Street Hospital? I tried malt-o-meal today last night and again today and it was fine. It has taken me 3 sittings to finish one serving...LOL! BTW I had only lost 3 pounds and someone made a post to tell me that was fine because most folk gain weight. The swelling causes you to gain after surgery and your body has to adjust first. I know my clothes and face shows I lost weight but not the scale. I am trying to patiently wait on that! LOL!

I do love Dr. Mirza...he is sooo kind and very easy to talk to. I am glad I chose him!

z3djinn...we used the same doctor...what a coincidence! I love the Bariatric Advantage shakes as well. I use 1% milk and I have the chocolate kind...it taste just like a chocolate shake. I think I will try to always have one shake a day until I meet goal!

Hey I am checking in today is day twelve and I am doing great! I am drinking my fluids and I tried eating malt-o-meal which is like furina and my stomach likes it...I can only eat two or three bites from a baby spoon and I am a full as a tick. I went to the gym earlier and walked 3 miles on the treadmill. I have energy too...I am so glad to have this part behind me and now I will keep trucking along and wait on the results...best of luck to everyone out there!

Awww...tear...THAT is the best feeling! Congratulations!

I am ten days post op too and today I tried some Malt-o-meal and two spoons of mashed potatoes. I feel full now. My doctor said I could try these things along with scrambled eggs which I havent tried yet. He said I would know if my stomach rejected it and so far so good...no wavy feeling in my tummy...

I wish you a speedy recovery!

I had my surgery on July 2nd and my doctor gave me the impression that I was past the point of getting a leak. He just kind of phrased "you are out of the woods"...I am officially ten days out today.

buy some chicken broth or soups and drain them for the liquid. I bought a can colander. I also bought a blender in a bottle which I use daily to mix my protein shake with milk. Those are the two most important investments to date and I am nine days out.

At what stage can you have watermelon?

Well thanks for the update...I am glad to know what happened. I almost got worried. Thanks again!
