So I'm going into my 5th month. So far I've done good from staying away but, Every now and then i crave coffee. It has to be Starbucks latte Coffee! Anyone have any good Starbucks suggestions?

How do you know you have this? I've had a very sore burning in my throat for about a month now. Beside that I've been perfectly fine and have no complaints from being sleeved. Although my dr. Thinks my throat pain is from reflex? Weird, I think he's mis diagnosing me?!?

I'm having the same problem. I roll out a little hamster every time I brush my hair.

Did any of you feel like you could eat a normal portion and at what point in ur journey? I'm going into my 5th month and feel like I can pack in food like before? It's so depressing? PS- 237 Dos- oct 8 - 225 CW 185

Hard boiled egg Egg salad ham and cheese roll ups ham cheese wraps (Joseph's wraps are high in Protein 7g, low carb 11g, 1g sugar 70 cal. For 8" wrap.. Love, love! 100 cal yoplait Greek yogurt Salami Peanut Butter w/apple Tuna Spicy Salmon sushi rolls Bean soup Salad w/ chicken omelet Frittata Quiche

So I haven't tried premier? I don't really like the protein shakes. what makes premier so good? I drink pure protein: 110 cal, 1g sugar, 4g carbs, 23g protein I think those numbers are really great, am I wrong?!? Maybe I should try premier, but are the numbers good as good?

I'm in grnwch. We should all meet!!!

I'm just so happy to get rid of all my 16 clothes!!! I have tons of pants some worth keeping and some k. If ur a tall 16 and need work clothes contact me and I'll ship for free. If anyone need a size 16 formal dress I have 4 dress. Yay!!! Good bye size 16

This is normal and we all have been there. Your body is healing and u can't get lots in. So of course your hungry, remember its not magic. Our brain needs time to adjust to changes. I promise it will get better!! This is normal! I was starving and had lots of regrets. My nut felt so bad for me she told me to start stage 2, 3days early. I love my sleeve now an you will too! As you heal you will be able to put more dwn. and the hunger will go away but it takes time. Do what the dr. Says!! Height 5"4 Preop- 235 DOS oct 8th - 225 Today 185 I average about 10 lbs a month I don't have lots to loose So my weight loss is slow than most. But I'm totally fine with it, Cause I'm small

Anyone have any great recipes or good advise on using chia seed?

So pants are gone guys Hopefully the next go around (fingers crossed) I love my sleeve, it feels great to eat like a normal person! Good luck ladies, XO nancy

I'm also 4 months out. I was sleeved in Oct. I also weigh 195!! When were u sleeved and where. I'm in ct. I'm so happy!!!

Can I ask how much your starting weight was? I only ask because I'm in the same boat. I'm only 1month post op and I've only lost 17lb total. My starting weight was 237. I'm 5'4 and although I'm short I never looked so heavy. When my dr. Met me for the first time he said that based on appearance I did Not look like I would qualify for VsG. Big reason i did the sleeve was for my health. I had cholesterol problem border line diabetes, hypothyroid and my mom is a 2x breast cancer surviver ( yikes!!! Hard uo write and read this) I'm hopping i could be wrong but maybe I'm losing slow because I only have about 100 lbs to loose?? I'm always hungry and I know I'm eating more than I should :-/ I used to skip meals and look forward to the 1 big meal. Eating to get full was my thing. i found comfort in being full. Retraining my head to eat smaller meals has screwed me up big time! Makes me feel hungry all the time and having me eat all day long. Ugh....just frustrated. I read in a prior post that our passion was food and now we have to find another passion. im constantly looking for ways to change and look for my new passion. Good luck on ur journey and hope things get better. Be positive sister!!!

I'm 1 month too!!! Congrats, so awesome!!!

I was given one but have yet to try it. You really lime them? I have to try it now..., hope its good do far I hate everything protein! :-/

I tried beef jerky but I hate it! I want to like it do bad because of the low cal and high protein? Anything else? :-/

My nut recommended skim plus because its high in protein. I but the one w/ fiber cause i need all the fiber i can get it tastes like whole milk and I have no problem drinking it, Highly recommend!!

I'm in Greenwich ct. And was sleeved on oct 8th at grnwch hospital. Good luck!!

Im with you sister! Im on week 4 on Monday and Im having a hard time as well. My bariatric team has bee NO support! I like the lettuce wrap idea but my nut said no salad, assuming lettuce too. I really hope you get lots of replys cause I'm interested too ;/ when did you get sleeved? do you do MFP?

I was sleeved on the same day. How much have you've lost? How r you doing w/food? My bariatric team has been unhelpful :-/. I'm so bored of eating the same thing and I find my self to be hungry all have time.

I'm 3 weeks today and I've had them. My bout said all cooked non starchy veggies were good.

I cheated 4 days out and had a bite of my kids Mac and Cheese, I was fine. The following week I had a bite of chocolate cake. the following week had a bite of cheese pizza. I duno whats wrong with me!! I was one of te readers who said "why would you do that" Its funny my problem w/food was that it was always about comfort. I would go all day without food and be satisfied with the one big meal. Now Im 2weeks post op and all i think about is food,I never did before. Im always hungry and never satisfied. My nut advanced me to full liquids after 4 days cause i was so hungry. I just cant keep track and im always thirsty and hungry but get full really quick and then hungry again 15 minn later. I regret That i ever did this and im scared

I'm 10 days out of post and I was very hungry 2 days after surgery. I did clear for only 4 days and then moved to full liquids. I'm always hungry. I have a hard time eating more that 2oz at a time. I get full very quickly but get hungry a lot quicker, kind like eating Chinese food ( u get full and then ur hungry) I hate the way I feel when I eat, just never satisfied and wishing for texture and carbs!! Can we have coffee w/cream?? I'm so craving a pumkin spice latte ;(

I was told by the Dr. that I could also have cottage cheese, low fat/sugar free greek yogurt and cream of wheat. BuT I've read about people eating tuna and eggs and chill, and all kids of soups. But she didn't want me eating any kind of soup other than cream of chkn. or Lentil soup. Anything low in carb high in protein. Im just FULL and I want real food :/

I had surgery on Oct 8th too! Im also hungry..... my dr. let me start Protein shakes. Im also having a very hard time drinking my protein shake, I usualy only have 1 a day and It takes me all day to drink. I know its not enough but what can i do? I Cant figure out the formula on how to drink H20 and protein? Im so frustrated.... I started to regret all of this. I had the cheese top of my kids pizza, it went dwn. k but i felt so guilty and was scared!! I also had a cigrette which prior to all of this I was a social a smoker but find my self wanting to smoke to take the hunger edge away... WTF
