they gave me my flu shot while I was in the hospital.

I like it stirred into a scrambled egg. Just like mozerella.... almost. I also heat it up on some refried Beans. yummy!! Just think of all the Protein in that!!! LOVE cottage cheese. Make sure you get a good kind. They do taste different! I do not like the fat free. I eat the 2% kemps and it is awesome!

I have 7 incisions scattered under both breasts and one at my bellybutton. I also had my gall bladder out so maybe that is why I had more????

One can only hope!! I am so sick of plucking chin hairs!!! lol

I am 2 weeks out and I dyed my hair last week. Everything seems fine but I am so close to surgery I have not noticed any hairloss yet.

Good luck. Let us know what the Dr says!!

well at this point (2 weeks out) I would never fart in front of anyone. Best advice ever... NEVER trust a fart~~~

go in to edit your profile, click my surgery and update your weight there. It will automatically change your ticker

what a good idea to use your cup warmer!!! Thanks!

Praying for you! Also praying you get some good sleep. That always helps too!

beautiful!!

I get the PB2 at my grocery store in the health food section. I also found it at a Total Health store that sells exercise equip and Protein powder etc... for the syrup I just pour in a couple of glugs Lol.. probably a tablespoon or so???

I am 10 days out and it would be no problem for me. I work at home so I don't have to get ready and go out. Love that!!! I don't even feel like I have had surgery. Feeling great

lol anything higher than a flip flop is too much for me!!!

I am just under 2 weeks post op. I still just drink 1/2 of a shake at a time. I don't want to feel too full. I have not had any problems since surgery and I don't want to have any How long until you drank a whole shake???

DUH why didn't I think of only mixing up 1/2 at a time!!! Thanks for the suggestion. I will certainly be doing that from now on. They are much better fresh if you ask me!!!

thanks! I have no problem with water or tea. I am getting plenty of liquids in. So happy that is easy for me! I think that has helped a lot for why I feel so good!!!

not yet but I sure would like one!!!!

Had my 1 week check up today. I was approved for Protein shakes and creamy Soups. I made the BEST tomato Soup (can) Just added a little basil and it was fantastic!!..... It's all perspective..... Best meal in WEEKS!! YUMMY Didn't think I would like Protein Shakes so much again either! lol

8oz milk 1 scoop chocolate Protein powder 2T PB2 (powdered peanut butter) SF caramel syrup Absolutely my fav and go to Protein shake. I never get sick of it! Sometimes I add SF English Toffee syrup. yum!!!

mine was done on bicycle pedals while I was laying down! weird... there was some heavy breathing toward the end but it wasn't too bad. I've been through a lot worse tests than that on!

I found some squash soup at Trader Joes that is SO yummy!! Also Tomato Soup is another fav. Throw in a little basil...mmmmm Greek yogurt is another fav right now. I tried adding some chicken protein powder to my creamy chicken soup but just couldn't do it after surg. I loved it before surg! Go figure.

The best advice I have is stay positive!! Mind/body healing makes a huge difference!!! This the such a great journey you are starting. Think of what your life will be like when you shed the extra pounds. I am only a little over a week out and feeling great. So excited for what is to come! Emotions definately play a part in this. Try to keep yourself busy and not dwell on things. This forum is a great place for support and so much information! If you are feeling down just go look at some of the before/after pics!! What great incentive Good luck to you!!

I was sleeved on the 6th. Doing great! So ready for even pureed food but I have 1 more week of full liquids.
