i am going to try the tip too. i still have so much gas. i have to burp after every bite or so.

you should have a list or guide from the nutritionist. follow that the best you can. i'm 34 days post-op and i don't want to drink the protein shakes anymore. but, i'm adding soft food very slowly. i eat baby bell cheese, scrambled eggs and yogurt besides the liquid diet foods. peanut better was on the list, but made me sick. go slowly.

i'm glad to hear swimming is good for the core. i am starting at a gym on friday and doing aquacize and swimming laps. i also just got a book on beginning pilates. so it looks like i'm going in the right direction.

i can't wait to be able to just go places and walk again the county fair michigan's adventure dow gardens the fireworks i haven't went to any of these places in years because i could barely walk oh and i want to wear high heels again and sit in booths and dance and ride a bike and oh definitely have better sex (i got divorced in january so i'm looking for a better partner too, lol)

i am having a hard time even looking at the Protein Shakes any more. i try to eat at least one every day though. i am not having a lot of success adding foods to my diet. either they sit in my stomach and cause pain or i get sick as a dog. cheese is the only thing i can stomach besides the full liquid foods. anybody else have a problem with this?

at four days out, just concentrate on water and protein shakes. i found that making them up and then freezing them helped a lot. i take them out and let them thaw to slushy consistency and then eat with a spoon. they are cold and they taste better that way.

hi everyone! i had my surgery 32 days ago and i feel great. i lost 30 lbs in the first 30 days! now i get to start exercising. i hate exercise. but last night i walked all the way to the end of my road and back and only had to stop once for a break. now that's progress. 6 months ago i could barely get to my mailbox and back. i am going to start out swimming laps and doing aquacize on monday. the gym part scares me because i have absolutely no idea how to use any of the machines. but i'd like to try the elliptical machine. everyone keep in touch with me. i need friends who are going through the same things i am.

i am 32 days post-op and i added a spoonful of all natural peanut butter to my protein shake on thursday and got sick as a dog. i had "dumping syndrome" bad. i was at class and i had to leave and spent 35 minutes in the bathroom. i had the shakes, sweats, headache, retching and a terrible stomach pain. i look like death warmed over when i went back to class. so i'm not having peanut butter again any time soon.

i'm 32 days post-op and i can only get about 3 swallows down at a time. it takes me a couple of hours to drink 32 oz of liquid. maybe call the nutritionist. she might tell you that even if you can drink that fast, maybe you shouldn't. or she may say it's fine. i don't know, but i do know i can't drink that amount that fast. maybe i'm going too slow???

i understand. at our fourth of july get together, my sister in law was like "so, it's basically atkins right?" "you could have done that without surgery." oh what the hell ever! good thing the rest of my family is supportive.

i am one month post-op today and i have lost 30 lbs since surgery. i've lost a total of 54 lbs since january. 30 lbs in one month!! someone catch me, i might faint from happiness!

i am three weeks post op today and i don't have any regrets. this was truly the best decision i have ever made. have there been some hard moments? yes! was i in terrible pain last week and had to have a ct scan? yes! am i just fine now? yes! can i shave my legs and paint my toe nails a lot easier already? yes! can i walk further and for a longer time already? yes! do i wish i had done this 5 yrs ago? yes! do i have any regrets? NO!!

i just use the ones available at walmart

i am 3 weeks post-op exactly. i can have sugar free jello and sugar free popsicles of course. i can have cream of wheat, yogurt, carnation instant breakfast, cream soups and sugar free pudding. i am not supposed to add anything else until july 11, but i have been eating cheddar cheese for a few days now and tomorrow i am going to try scrambled eggs. i am also supposed to drink 2 protein shakes a day, but i can only get 1 down. i HATE those darn shakes!

i looked for it on facebook and can't find it. can you add me please. i'm jackie sue redmond of fb. thanks.

i was sleeved on june 11th. since i started this process in january, i have lost a total of 46lbs. 22lbs since surgery 16 days ago.

i'm in Midland. had my sleeve surgery on June 11, 2013. had it done in Alma by Dr. Cudjoe.

i had my sleeve the day before my 43rd birthday. happy birthday to me!!! i am 16 days post-op now.

i drink a cup of decaf coffee with sugar-free hazelnut creamer and 1 packet equal in it every morning. if i'm on the go, i pour it into my blender, add a scoop of unflavored Protein powder and 3 ice cubes and whirrrrrr....instant iced coffee and you don't even taste the protein. yeah!

i does help. i just drank some today. i feel so bloated and i can barely get anything down.
