Just the simple truth. How is it going now for you?

Try vitamelts zinc it melts on your tongue. I also crush my pills even though it tastes horrible its better than being stuck. 2 years of stuck episodes with the lapband I am traumatized.

I'm having split pea soup too but don't get progresso it has the skins of the peas in it. Campbells or andersons is better no skins.

Well I can't wait to make it to the pureed stage. More options.

Yeah! Go you!

So what happened?

Thanks I will try that.

Bought premade premier chocolate shakes 30 gms each in 11 ounces. Went down much easier than anything else.

Try biotene mouthwash at cvs.

Are you taking reglan or antiacids: makes my mouth dry.

If the doctor thinks an area might bleed they sometimes place a drain. Honestly, I woke up with the drain and it never hurt or bothered me until he took it out.

The whole theory behind the alkaline principle is protein are amino acids which make your system acidic. So of course you need them but to reach equilibrium you balance it with alkaline foods to neutralize your ph. If you have too much acids it gets stored in your fat and tissues because your body cannot circulate that much acid safely. If you neutralize each meal balancing the ph, the alkaline molecules bond with the acids molecules and you either sweat, pee, or poop them out. Hense superb weight loss. I had just started doing this a month ago during my infertility research. Google dr vassey or alkaline diet. I find it fascinating. So while I am trying to get protein in I am balancing it the best I can with alkaline foods and water. Potato soup is alkalizing. Anyone want more info private message me.

I had a drain too and to be honest it caused a cramping sensation when he took it out. Then it was fine.

That sounds good, think I will try to find them out here in sunny california.

Very cool!

Love almond milk!

Read the alkaline diet by dr vassey. Its an alternative to such high levels of protein. Offers some great advice. My friends husband lost 300 pounds soley doing this way of life. He is now a dr of natural medicine. Worth a look.

I bought a hawaiian shave ice maker at Target for $25. I also got 3 bottles of assorted sugar free flavorings. Omg. So good. For those of us who are still on clears or full liquid this is a Godsend. I am in heaven and my kid loves it too!

Its perfect for summer! Its been so hot outside.

Tried a taste of coffee this am and almost vomitted. Guess its not for me right now. 10 days post op.

Yes it does because I have gone through so much with the lapband and to have two procedures at one time was tough. I'm hoping the sleeve will carry me the rest of the way.

I had a morphine pca pump where I could push the button. Pain not as bad as post lapband. Nausea was the worst though. Sleeved june 28th.

That's what kind of flavouring I have! Delicious!

I had mine a week ago at kaiser south bay and they were wonderful!

That should make you feel better much faster! Get better soon!
