LOL @ ribs! Did you know I actually have clavicles and a neck amazing !

I think her husband loves her but he really has his blinders on.

How very sad. I am watching it now. As I am exercising between teaching my online English classes. Ahe says she is ready but she threw it away.That poor little boy!

I had my first appointment on June 26th my surgery could have been mid October but I choose to wait to mid November. I had lots of tests and appointments to keep me busy in between.

Do you mean a 4-5 ounce restriction? Have you tried Hormel turkey chili with beans? ( grams of of protin in 4-5 ounces of it.That is one of my favorites.

I like muscle milk. It is easy to find. I can get it at wal mart . The price is pretty reasonable about $6 for 4 11 ounce shakes. 20 grams of protein in each one.

I keep getting stuck too. So sick of it! I don't know what to say except you are not alone!

I thought it would be easier than it is. I am 2 months post op. I am eating about 900 calories a day exercising a lot . I am meeting my protein and liquid goals but I WANT carbs so bad ALL THE TIME! I hate fighting these cravings. I want bread potatoes,noodles,rice,chips and pretzels and everything I do not need. It drives me mad everyday.I don't know what to do about this issue! I am going crazy. I want all the things I should not eat. I am not the only person in my house so I cannot empty all of it out here.

I would not have been able to go home that day. Are you having a leak test? What does your post op diet plan look like?

LOL!

One of my incisions was right under the center part of my bra so i could not have had it on during surgery or after for a few days.

I had a 3 day hospital stay for the sleeve.

Water are crystal light are my staples, I am 8 weeks out now and I drink skim milk at least 16 ounces a day it boosts my protein. G2 and powerade occasionally but they are more expensive than the crystal light.

I was just started on this medication by my surgeon at 8 weeks post op. I am wondering who else is taking this drug and what your experience with it has been. So far I am finding that it tastes better in applesauce than yogurt but it is very bitter and seems to upset my stomach no matter what.

no one else is on a gall stone prevention medicine?

Okay I am going to be really frank with you, the first week was so awful! The second week was a little better , the third week I really started to feel like myself again. Most people don't have a nausea issue after the first few weeks. I still do though and I am 8 weeks out.

Do you have any idea how many calories you are taking in?

Are you using myfitnesspal? A site like that would help you see if you are getting enough protein. Did your doctor set a protein goal for you? How much water are you drinking? What kind of exercise do you do? How often?

Have a great day! You are the glittery princess!

maybe she has not seen this yet!

In the center I go to, some people do a four week pre op diet, and some do a two week.The diet length is determined by the surgeon. Our pre op diets consist of 4 new directions protein shakes or bars. No other food at all. Only non caloric, non caffeinated, non carbonated, beverages are allowed. It is basically 800 calories a day.

I had the gastric sleeve. I was not allowed anything at all by mouth until the next day after my leak test, upper gi X-ray. Then I was allowed fluids.
