Ugh I totally know how you feel! Between the withdrawal from coffee, wine and sugar my head pounded hard! The good thing is it does pass! Decaf for me !

Malanga is my best friend! I’m very creative in the kitchen and there’s nothing I can’t make that’s sleeve friendly. Sometimes it just has to be small portions but otherwise if u can cook you will definitely make changes that are delicious and suit your needs! By the way I use brown rice to make rice with gandulez and it’s delicious.

I went for a doctors appointment today and mentioned this question and the P.A. said you can drink water before the shake but wait 30 min after Ladydeenj

I know that I should not drink 30 minutes before a meal and 30 minutes to an hour after a meal. What about before or after protein shakes? Do they count as a meal or as a drink.

Thank u!!!

I’m on week two post op and I was told for the next 3 weeks all I can have is two protein shakes a day, one item as a meal ( SF Jell-O or pudding, vegetable soup with no pasta or rice blended, plain Greek yogurt, farina and mashed potato made with chicken broth )48 to 96 ounces of water, one sugar-free ice pop – because I begged for a snack. I’m feeling this

Hello my name is Ladydeenj and I am addicted to coffee!!! So..... having to stop it was so difficult! The choice was decaf or nothing and for a week I chose nothing!!!! However, the feel of a hot cup of coffee early in the start of the day was greatly missed! So.... I decided on decaf, 1/2 cup with Carmel premier protein!!!! There is a God!!!! Holy smokes that was delicious and fulfilling and yes folks it’s a love connection !!! 3 cheers for living la vida loca.

I’m going to try those

No cream??? Well I guess it’s good ! I can’t get myself to drink it black!

Surgery 2/27 back to work 3/12 total 9 working days 13 total with weekends. Honestly I would be ready to go back today 1 week Ladydeenj

Thank you Ladydeenj

Thank you! That means a lot ! Along with regaining comes a whole lot of beating myself up! So to hear a cheer- my first cheer feels good !!! Ladydeenj

Last night was my first meal a 1/4 of farina! Otherwise it’s been a slow starvation for the last 5 days of nothing but water, ice pops and jello for 5 days. What are you allowed to have? Ladydeenj

Are u near Morristown nj Ladydeenj

Is the reason I can’t change my profile because I’m doing it from my telephone? Ladydeenj

Mines looks nothing like that I will have to go on my computer! Ladydeenj

My weight, stats stuff like that Ladydeenj

Absolutely I take full responsibility for stretching out my stomach! I made poor choices in year 3,4,5 and totally regret it! I did have some serious life issue come along the way but in the end it was all my fault! Just want people to know it can happen if your not careful. Measuring and tracking is vital! Ladydeenj

Well I was told by my surgeon the previous surgeon didn’t make it to tight. He wasn’t bashing the previous doctor but just making appoint that 5 years ago the doctors were more cautious because the procedure was kind of new! However now they are making them tighter. Truth is after my surgery this time the new doctor stated I had stretched my stomach almost back to its original size!!! Believe me I knew it because I was eating as much as non sleeved people and felt no restrictions Ladydeenj

How do I change my weight? And update all my information

Oh my god that’s from the last time I was on here I’m trying to learn how to update all my information I was re-sleeved on Tuesday, February 12 th The day of surgery I was 178 I have lost 12 pounds since Tuesday I’m still on liquids I’m weak and crabby as heck. Yes I do have pictures I will post them

I just got re-sleeved February 27, six days postop I have pictures that my doctor took. He stated I was almost the size of a regular stomach. It can be done. I’m not proud about it but the truth is I am a perfect example of what can happen. For some reason everyone thinks that it’s not possible

Anyone resort to Tom’s to alleviate gas pains?
