    Length of Hospital Stay

    Was 2 days for me becasue 24 hours before they can give you a liquid food to drink and then they needed test by use of CAT scan, were you drink a thick Fluid that shows them real time your stomach pouch working, then realease was after a passing aproval that it all is in working order. I wouldn't run off having had a gallbladder removed, you should consider taking on the extra bills, or using them as wallpapers, luck to you in solving it though with insurance people too.

    is a high BMI enough?

    High blood preasure and cholestral may count some too, may be a diagnosis of hypertensive. Mine was sleep apnea which folks are tested for when being consdiered for surgerys, also the blood preasure as I took a pill for it, hydrochlorothyazide. So, are you really that healthy ?
  3. hmmm, maybe I should've left the post up about sugarless living on your other thread there Fiddleman. Hahaha, I saw that I started another rant at me after exercising my right to say, " I fart at Cookies " calling them " death bisquits ", Well although that's true it seemed to be that it might had blown up in my face given some time on forum so I blank'd blanked it off, like my a long ago aguement over cigarettes and McDonald's food did blow up in my face once, What the hay I can't sit here and not say some things, ya only live once, so, farting at cookies and sugar and smoking some buts equals out to some one leveling a playing field when probably eating them and staying smokeless counts most for others, Go figure, I'd rather say I did not both yet, may and may not be true any how. the humor is no prob Curvy, no worries. adding: sorry to steal the room in post, should be about Vites, oops.

    Fresh Fruit Smoothies!

    you may want to watch for the seeds and some things that are too fiberous until a couple months out,fruits also tend to have high sugar contents, some better for diets than others are. links may help: http://www.nutrition-and-you.com/fruit-nutrition.html http://www.nutrition-and-you.com/vegetable-nutrition.html http://www.livestrong.com/article/107425-fruits-weight-loss/ http://www.livestrong.com/article/546244-top-10-vegetables-for-weight-loss/ http://www.healthdiaries.com/eatthis/ take two ?

    best green superfood powder?

    this post came up here and I added on topic from there; http://www.verticalsleevetalk.com/topic/79735-how-are-you-all-getting-your-vitamins-in/
  7. Well, if I don't bor you with the idea in Curvy's post and can fling it out I can start with my Vites at least. I used liquid vites after surgery and now use gummies most often, the liquids were Wellese brand I got them at Alice.com but didn't think it was so much extravagant for then although a bottle of pills or gummies goes so much further I did enjoy it for just a while. I use one of Vitafusion men's daily's or Vita Crave men's gummies daily, added I use Iron small dose pills every day and Vitamin D gummies and nothing more with acception of Glucosimine joint stuff once a day, but that is for pills. I also use sublingual coq10 and injection for B12. prescribed me was only multi daily's and B12 and iron. No calcium. so next, this might make you gag too, but, I like it, hmmm, I do also get a daily morning mix of a regular low cal Protein mix drink powder and added to that are touted high potency large spectrum nutritinal supplements and protein boosts in varies powdered form and a few chinese and indian herbal's some as liquid extracts. Most of these with acception for a few can be found in a variety of preprepared with superfood additives as well in drink mixes such as those good for it in the thread by Fiddleman but I experience them in some what larger doses at times and specificlfied to my take on use for this stuff just a little less fancy alone as are. Benifits for use of such additon mixes to your drinks can varry toward better health and some things in that are: adding some protein, nutrition, eyesite, hair and skin health, circulatory strengthening, liver and digestive cleansing and antitoxification, antiinflamatory, heart health, clear thoughts, less hunger through better nutrition, mellecular level cell strength/cell building, better imune system health, energy boosted. I also own a Nutri Bullet which liquifies the hell out of any veggetables or fruits and greens,seeds and nuts which I stuff into that and with those additives as well with those, I just don't put 101 things in and I mix my recipe up a bit now and again for flavor or value in content toward health. Also I have a juicer and juice carrots with apple most often in that. OK ? http://www.verticalsleevetalk.com/topic/71674-best-green-superfood-powder/

    Does hunger come back?

    ya can't scare me 56, lol, I see that already, I've my hopes I won't be a slob again, the start helps allot I'd think in management training as was before but better with the small stomach.

    shakes are awful surgery may 28

    Glad to see some one likes the EAS carb control, that was my next pick to purchase, right now I use banana creme flavor (Light) Muscle milk powder, I also put it in a blender, use varried amounts mostly just one scoop at a time, I add Da Vincii sugar free banana flavor syrup, plus some other things like cacao nibs and chopped walnuts, I like it that way but the syrup and scoop of powder would be good as well. I've tried mixing flavor into chocoalate drinks and thats worked out cool too, also adding a half banana from time to time or a few blueberries, plus greens too or simliar of powders form mixes.

    Does hunger come back?

    Remember your all on a constant with dieting, My every so often hunger pangs come late nights after the days in which I have actually lost weight and did something in dieting that affected me, yes, for sure I get that hungry but for me it's a thing that comes and goes, I am also 5 months out, I have a significant good loss as result of surgery and I now very much notice too when my stomach is getting full which now helps me adjust as well, so not only do I need try following up by being good when I feel the hunger also I know when to quit at the same time as much during those times. Oh those carbs, once you get started they lead you on.

    Stupid question

    I think it's just and only about gas added when you swallow some air, this is a gassy affair any way, if it helps you deal with the now I think you should, in time it may be you'll more probably not need it at all. Some things it seems take a long time to pass when its happening but things pass quicker than that after the fact. hmm, possible that No pun was intended, or what ever, *smiles*

    pizza cups

    Well, with in reason, OK, but most pizza and pizza cups are to loaded with calories. I searched for variation to this and came up calories cut like this. I split each of reduced fat Pilllsbury flake grands biscuits, flattened the halves and made small discs and used a muffin tin, the dough was still raw and each disc 80 cals. Stuffed cups in muffin tin with 1-1/2 tablespoons filling; I used browned ground turkey, onions and olives, with (edit: ) (Worcestershire? )sauce and some italian dried spice ( sauce will be spiced any way), light grated parmesan. Mix the filling with about a 3/4 tablespoon of pizza sauce for each cup your filling. now 80 calorie biscuit halves in muffin tin cups and added filling with sauce mixed in, can be a little more generous with fillings, bake at 350 degrees for 10 or 11 minutes. ((Added: some times now bake these at higher temp and longer to thoroughly cook the dough, you can also heat fillings in micro prior to baking to speed up times.)) Take from oven and top with tablespoon shreded mozarelle that you choose, I used kraft product has cream cheese added to mozarelle and goes so very well with the biscuit crust. Bake an additional 4 or 5 minutes to get cheese to melt as desired and finish cooking process. let cool, can be made 2 at a time or fill muffin tins, tasted very good to me, my calculation leaves the cals with in dietary scale nearly halved which I desire instead of original recipe of 300 cals.

    pizza cups

    same thing another way: http://www.emilybite...pizza-cups.html
  19. looks good I guess, I use muscle milk light now, I give a plus for a powder that it let's me decide how much. I like banana too and this one has banana as well, hmmm, also, have another few brands I have yet to try for future but may add this to list and I don't expect that I will stop usage in coming years so I can get to it, lol. Also looked at lesser carb and egg protein powders, unsure just whats what next time I buy one as I remain with my couple big containers a second time and used them for some time. key for me is calories in scoops as well for now especially but that stuff seems sensable.

    I think I'm broken :(

    Inches is great too, don't fully rely on weight, you need muscle and your thinner, At one point a new jump start with adding best I could a load of carbs while still watching for calories and that made weight losses start again, the second was stopping milk and cheese and started a jump into losses again, now I am going to go in reverse to pre sugery way and just get Nutri system meals so as not to have to calculate in hope of losing as much as I did with it beofre and there for reaching a lowest goal weight. I'll use my own Protein combo shake with it though, it has a high calorie shake I want to have better one for morings in with it. with another 40 pounds, I think I'll feel secure after in slower weight loss and stop constarints of the day to day week weigh ins. Also in AM, I drink allot of Water and nothing else for a long while, don't run to food first thing or late in the vening. That final leg will about 40 more pounds, leaves me another 25 to 40 I can safley lose coming years with good judgement and healthier diet. I have lost over slight away of 100 pounds in 5 months and also 50ish or so but several more pounds up and down for pre surgery for years time or so when I used Nutri system men's plan. Good luck, also, I tried added running and walking, that made weight fluxtuate and some times even go higher for a bit, but it helped I guess also, I am so much the more adgile this weight and with some exercising. The running thins you out very well even if weight remains the inches blow off quicker.

    Nope, they're not great, just filling and some what only passable as a food, not so much as a pasta replacer.

    shirataki miracle noodles?

    They are chewy, in a word different, flavor is debatable, you judge easily buy one and try to see if you like, easy to make, throw into strainer, rinse, cook, add sauce, low cal enough for grated cheese too, Ridiculously low cal, I like them as a filler for meals that I don't feel like cooking so I keep a bag on hand, they come in mirky water 2 portion bag but portion's can be consumed as 1 per the cal's are so low.
