    Unjury?

    You can add it to drinks. The Unjury website recommends adding to Crystal Light fruit flavors. Check out their website, there are other ways to use it. I have not tried it in crystal light, but I put the unflavored into beef broth and it tastes just fine. I can't taste a difference. Good luck.

    GOT sleeved yesterday.

    Congratulations, it sounds like you're off to a great start!!
  3. I was 247 before liquid diet. 237 on the day of surgery (5//6) and now I'm 225. I'm becoming obsessed with the scale! I'm thinking of asking my husband to hide it for a while. Good luck on your continued success, you're doing great!
  4. That's awesome!!! Congratulations, you're doing great.
  5. Wow, that's interesting. It couldn't be a bruise, right?
  6. Surrender control! Re-read all of the info your surgeon and nut have given you. Do everything they tell you, and I think you'll be just fine! Good luck, I know you have it in you.

    getting close!

    I was so nervous too. All the way to the hospital, Iwas trying to think of reasons to RUN! But, now almost two weeks later, I'm lad I went through with the surgery. Try and keep yourself busy. Good luck, you'll do great!!

    Really depressed

    a therapist will be able to help you get through all this. I'm no professional, but maybe you should scale back the amount of time you spend with the ex. That relationship might be doing more harm than good.

    Pain related to Surgery

    you'll likely get a patient controlled pain relief in the hospital through yor iv. after i left the hospital, i took a liquid tylenol a few times, and that was all for pain. it's not too bad. Besides, that stuff only last such a short period of time.

    liquid diet

    It's rough, but I'm glad that part is over! Good luck on your surgery.

    Isopure omg!

    that stuff is horrible (and i'm not picky)! I bought a whole case from gnc just after my vsg, tried two, and had my husband return the rest. I got my protein from unjury checken soup and unjury unflavored powder put in beef broth. good luck!
  13. I'm still afraid of my sleeve, I don't want to try anything!

    3 days out and in minor pain

    I was sleeved 05/06 and the first four days were pretty rough for me. I even told someone I wish I hadn't done this to myself. But, now two weeks out, things are better and I feel better about my decision to have the surgery. I also felt a lot better just being home and in my own space! You'll pull through this, hang in there - we'll do it together!

    Wife is Upset

    Your wife is not really mad at you, she's scared! The quote about the divorce rate says a lot right there. Do whatever you can to reassure her about your love/devotion, and about the surgery. Get her involved in dieting and excersing too. Tell her you need her help. This happens with a lot of spouses. Buy her some flowers and let her know how important she is and that will never change.
  16. in my post surgical info, it said to call my surgeon rightaway if i should swallow gum during the first six weeks. That sound scary enough for me not to touch the stuff. So, even if you're not in pain, still let your doc know asap. good luch!

    Question

    That's a tough spot to be in. However, if you think you're doing good on you own, feel free to tell HIM when you want your surgery (not the other way around). Everything should happen on your time so you don't feel like your doctor is rushing you or you're making a life long decision and not being completely ready for it. I was sleeved 05/06 and was crazy nervous. The night before I was searching the internet trying to find a good reason not to have the surgery the next day. So far, so good with no regrets. Good luck to you!
  23. Hi there - My date was May 6, 2013! It's been officially one week since the procedure and I think I'm getting the hang of this thing? Good luck to all!
